1. Where was your first nursing job?

   jones21498 replied to katie1285's topic in New Nurse

   I am so excited. I just hired in for a post graduate position on bone marrow transplant. I think this is about as specialized as it gets. I think if you know where you want to be then going more specialized wont hurt, but if you are up in the air ...

2. Level 1 Trauma Center

   jones21498 replied to buffscotty's topic in New Nurse

   I know that Clarian Health in Indiana hires new grads. Within the Clarian Network, Methodist is a Level 1 trauma center. It is located in Indianapolis, IN though. I guess it depends on whether you are willing to relocate. They have been phenom ab...

   I go to a local community college and we have 4 care plans due every week. We have about 17 pages in all. There is an in depth health assessment, one page divided on patho and written health assessment, then you have your wonderful concept mapping,...

5. Having a tough time!

   jones21498 replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took both of my ANP I & II online. I would study for 4 to 5 hours a day, seriously. It was a lot. There were labs that had to be completed at home and then lab write ups that had to be sent via distance learning. Tests were proctored (no no...

6. Help!!! What should I do now?

   jones21498 replied to veronica77's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would try for both and keep trying. You will get in one eventually if you keep working towards it. At the same time you can be taking classes that will enhance your skills, or classes you will be able to use if you so choose to bridge to a BSN pr...

   jones21498 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I can't take the wait anymore!!! I have been accepted to one ASN program, but am suppose to get "the letter" from my first choice around November 1st. That is awfully close, but not close enough. I am going nuts. I know they haven't sent letters ...

9. A&P and Micro together

   jones21498 replied to want to be a nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took my Anatomy & Physiology II the same semester as Microbiology and made an A in both. I think I used the two together because a lot of the material would relate (maybe I got lucky). I took them through seperate branches of the same communi...

11. When you begin your clinicals.....

    jones21498 replied to goingformydream's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I will just have my clinicals and lectures too, except for a pharmacology class (but I can't take until I am in the nursing program). It feels good to know I will have everything else out of the way. If I do decide to pick up extra classes, I can s...

14. Question about bloodpressure device

    jones21498 replied to stpauligirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Just make sure that it is a manual and is latex free (too many people with allergies). Other than that it doesn't have to be real expensive. After you use it over and over, it isn't going to hold up as long as a stethescope would. I think I spent ...
