  1. And just trying to clarify here...you are aware that when she gets accepted to some place like UNCW she would do two years as "pre-nursing" and then apply to nursing school after that, and then she would be a "nursing" major and taking the actual nur...
  2. It would be a good idea to look at the prerequisites for the nursing programs that she would like to go to. You can be a "pre-nursing major" without being accepted into nursing school. This way you can ensure that you have all of the requirements don...
  3. New Grad seeking CCU/ICU job!

    Ummm...I'm not sure if they have all of their new grad fellow positions posted yet online. Normally, under "Job Category" (I think) is "Nursing New Graduate" then you search for that and they usually have all of their new grad spots. For instance aft...
  4. New Grad seeking CCU/ICU job!

    If you're interested in the Raleigh area WakeMed has fellowship programs for new grads in all of their ICUs. It's an awesome hospital and great place for a new grad to start off in a challenging critical care setting. WakeMed is great to their new g...
  5. recent nclex passers

    About 5-7 days from when you took the NCLEX to be listed on the NCBON website.
  6. Scrubshopper

    I don't know if anyone has dealt with scrubshopper.com before, but I ordered from them simply because their prices were competitive and they had an easy checkout (paypal, google, etc). However, I ordered some dickies scrubs, and my order total qualif...

  8. VRE, MRSA, and HIV testing question

    Thanks for the replies everyone! We've actually changed our project to focus on home HIV testing and the effects of reporting and no face-to-face counseling. But I appreciate the information regarding VRE/MRSA screening. As for the question about whe...

    Hi all, I am doing a sort of research project for school regarding HIV. We are trying to research the policy regarding reporting of HIV positive patients to healthcare providers. I live in NC and have read over the laws regarding HIV reporting, and i...
  10. Job Interviews!!!

    Oh and I forgot to add in there that employers really appreciate it when you come prepared with a list of questions. I wrote down questions that I already knew the answers to (because I did quite a bit of research before going to my interview), but s...

  12. HESI exit

    I just took the HESI exit exam. I don't know how your school works, but for my school we had to get a 900 and if we didn't we had to do remediation. I forget exactly how many questions were on the exam, I believe around 200 or so?? I haven't taken th...
  13. I don't have the very best credit in the world, but I took out a loan for $15,000 for my last year of school so I could quit my job and focus completely on school. Search for alternative student loans. I looked around for awhile and finally went with...
  14. Why are so many people dropping out or failing Nursing school?

    The hardest thing for me is the fact that I speak my mind most of the time. The thing that you will learn in a BSN program is that most nursing instructors are a "breed of their own". They do things by the book, which isn't the way it really happens....
  15. Dumb question Help!

    Tweety is right. Where I do clinicals we also "chart by exemption" on a computer sort of. You would check the box and say neuro is WNL unless you chart something below it. SOAP I believe would be subjective objective assessment plan and PIE is probl...
