1. full nights vs. rotating

   Dazedgiggle replied to bluegirl's topic in General Nursing

   When I was a CNA and for my first year and a half as an RN I worked full time nights, 5 eight hour shifts a week. As much as I HATED it, I did get used to it and it was very convenient for school. But like you said, it's nearly impossible to develo...

3. New here with questions

   Dazedgiggle replied to kjseam's topic in General Students

   Welcome!! Everyone has given great advice! I think the only suggestion I can add is if you decide to take more than one pre-req at a time, you might want to consider making just one of them a science. Once science a semester was enough for me!! L...

   Dazedgiggle replied to Vyacheslav's topic in General Nursing

   Vyacheslav, I thought Youda had a great idea on buying from Canada, can you do that? Or do you have any friends or family in the U.S.? I'm not a diabetic, but I don't believe we need a prescription to buy insulin, if you know anyone here you can tr...

7. I need to improve

   Dazedgiggle replied to ohbet's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with P_RN about asking for the short orientation, I'd also suggest double checking things you don't feel comfortable with with another nurse, like the PCA pumps (this is actually required where I work.....two licensed are present to set up a ...

   Dazedgiggle replied to 2banurse's topic in General Nursing

   I doubted myself, but I found that I kept looking too far ahead. At the beginning of nursing school I would think about the end and how far away it was. I finally just started worrying about getting through just one day at a time....it made things ...

11. Were you a CNA before you became a nurse? For how long?

    Dazedgiggle replied to tattooednursie's topic in General Nursing

    I was an LNA for 1 year in a nursing home then 6 years in an acute rehab. It's certainly not necessary to be a LNA prior to being a nurse, but it can only help!! I learned how to deal with patients and their different personalities, learned the ver...
