1. Both adult and peds?

   Chelonophile posted a topic in Critical

   I am currently a nursing student, nearly ready to graduate. I'm very pulled to ICU/Critical care areas of nursing, but I'm very torn between peds and adult nursing. Is there a job that you can work with both populations in? I know maybe in some sma...

2. PICU/Adult ICU job prevalency

   Chelonophile posted a topic in Travel

   Hi all! Current nursing student here. (Graduation is in May YAY!!!) I am interested in working in the ICU when I graduate - either adult or peds - and later on I'd love to travel nurse. My question is, are PICU/peds jobs prevalent? I feel like adul...

3. BSN student studying for NCLEX PN

   Chelonophile replied to Chelonophile's topic in General Students

   U.S. I'm in an accelerated program and the classes I take allow us to sit for the LPN exam after our junior year. Many of the seniors in my program are already practicing as LPN's.

   Chelonophile posted a topic in General Students

   Sorry if this topic is elsewhere, I did look for it a bit, but didn't see anything specific to my situation. I am a BSN student, just about to finish my Junior year. This allows me to sit for my LPN exam. I know that the scope of practice is differ...

5. Scrub Question

   Chelonophile posted a topic in General Students

   Hi all, I hope this is in the right thread. I have searched for this issue in the forums already but couldn't find anything exactly like I'm talking about. So, I'm a bigger person and I'm having trouble finding scrubs that don't..."poof"? up in th...

   Chelonophile replied to Chelonophile's topic in General Students

   Again, thank you guys so much for the advice, there are lots of things I hadn't thought of on here that I'm definitely going to be implementing. I'm excited and nervous all at once and if nothing does actually start on time, it's going to drive me cr...

8. Summer Classes

   Chelonophile replied to DeeDee2014's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I've been in a CNA course and to me, it was pretty easy. I also tend to study hard and pick up on things easily and I also had no other classes or kids at the time, though I did have a part time job. My course was once a week for 8 weeks with two day...

9. Starting nursing school in three weeks, what am I forgetting?

   Chelonophile replied to Chelonophile's topic in General Students

   Unfortunately I don't get a summer off, I would have loved that because I would have spent it as you all suggested and studied my butt off, especially since I didn't have a very good A&P I teacher. I really have been wanting to go back and review...

    Oh my gosh, thank you guys for all the great feedback! I do have really neat pens that are pencils and four ink pens in one (and they're not ugly or bulky or expensive - yay!). I am coming out of doing my prereqs so I also have highlighters, post it...

    Chelonophile posted a topic in General Students

    Hi all! Soon-to-be nursing student here. I got into a pretty selective BSN program and I'm super excited ^_^ I'm very organized and like to be prepared ahead of time and have plan B, C, D and E all ready and laid out before I go into *anything*. U...

12. How to organize your gear in clinicals

    Chelonophile replied to birdie86's topic in General Students

    I was looking for something similar as I'm a huge organization fan. I found these pocket organizers on Amazon that sound like they'll do the trick for you, I'll link an example. They come in all different styles and colors as well, so browse around a...
