1. Group project rant

   ats replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Students

   Marie, I went through this countless times in nursing school as well, and it fried my butt no end. The last group project we were assigned was different though -- the instructor included a form to be turned in by every member of the group, rating the...

2. Length of orientation

   ats replied to Grace_RN2005's topic in New Nurse

   Hi, Grace. I'll be starting an OR internship in the middle of July, it will be a 9-month program. I'm totally looking forward to it! :)

3. 2 business days??

   ats replied to linkay77's topic in NCLEX

   I took the NCLEX on Wednesday, May 25th. Didn't even bother with Pearson, because the MN BON had posted that I passed when I happened to blip by their website at 7:30 am THE VERY NEXT DAY. I just endorsed my license to TX for a job that starts next ...

4. Transfer of License

   ats replied to ShortyLPN's topic in General Nursing

   I'm sure it may vary from state to state, but I FedEx'd my paperwork to TX last Wednesday, they received it Thursday, and on Friday they had assigned my temporary TX RN license (which I checked out on their website this morning). I'm slated to move d...

5. Men and Nursing (article) by Nancy Girard RN

   ats replied to Thunderwolf's topic in Men

   I'm not a male, so sorry if this response is inappropriate on this forum, but I love finding information on the other perspective and really appreciate your posts and insights, Thunderwolf. Just as reason and critical thinking are not solely male tr...

6. Where would you go?

   ats replied to BadBird's topic in General Nursing

   Oy vey, BadBird, you KNOW I'm headed for the water when I'm done with school! At least that's what my brain tells me. Coastal Florida is looking better and better, even with the summer humidity (which I know can be killer). Still I'd miss the fall c...

7. Future Nurses - Are You Lost?

   ats replied to justjenn's topic in General Students

   As if I haven't said enough already... I would highly recommend that you pick up a copy of Cliff's Notes for Anatomy and Biology -- it's clear, concise, and followed my textbook and classes perfectly. It summarizes a lot of the main information you'...

8. Future Nurses - Are You Lost?

   ats replied to justjenn's topic in General Students

   Justjenn, try to relax my friend! :) Your A&P instructor, like any other, will give you a detailed syllabus (class outline) on your first day of class. In it, you'll have spelled out what chapters and pages of information will be covered in which...

9. Question about scrubs...

   ats replied to ashemson's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I've found that Cherokee scrub pants are a bit roomier in the hips, while the Landau are a bit narrower. Not having hips myself, I prefer the Landau. :) ats

11. Help! Pep talk needed!

    ats replied to missionnurse's topic in General Students

    I second the sleep vote! You won't absorb anything if you're dragged-out tired! I've always found that I retain more if I do a quick review (NOT a cram session) right before bedtime. I believe studies have proven this to be true as well. That's also ...

13. Anyone else working full time and college full time?

    ats replied to inodou's topic in General Students

    People who work full time and go to school CAN and DO give it their all. :) Some of us have no choice as to working, we are the sole means of support for ourselves (and very often for families). I know someone in my class who is married, works full t...

14. Kitty Rescue,help help

    ats replied to FullMoonMadness's topic in General Nursing

    You can help it live, depending on just how young it really is. Dropper feeding frequently is good, but call your vet and ask about it -- we had to use a special mix once for the same situation. Other than that, I think warmth and quiet, and protecti...

    suzannasue, I'm very sorry you've been hurt so much in your life. I have been myself so many times, from early childhood...makes up the majority of my memories. So many times I've wished I could just sit down and give up, I get so tired...but somethi...
