2. Question about Wisconsin nursing jobs

   UWECfuturenurse replied to LMonty911's topic in Wisconsin

   Being an employee of a Ministry Health clinic, I would definitely recommend looking into one of their hospitals or clinics. I know there are some in your area. Check out their website (you'll have to search for it...I can't recall it off hand). Goo...

3. Eau Claire area hospitals

   UWECfuturenurse replied to qbfan413's topic in Wisconsin

   Being a senior nursing student at UWEC, I have had plenty of experience at both :) I have had clinicals on the med/telemetry and OB & nursery units at Luther. I honestly like the environment at Luther much better than Sacred Heart. The RN's and...

4. Should I disclose this in nursing school interview?

   UWECfuturenurse replied to RedSox33RN's topic in General Students

   I disagree with a lot of the posts here telling you to not share this information. Everyone is looking at this as a "negative" bit of information to share. If asked a question like "What sets you apart from other students who may be applying?" or "...

   UWECfuturenurse replied to javamom's topic in General Students

   Practice, practice, practice! The more you practice, the more natural you will become at performing your assessment. In our program, we were testing on physical assessment by videotaping an exam on another classmate...we even had to do breast exam...

9. What the heck?? Drug question

   UWECfuturenurse replied to memphispanda's topic in General Students

   Okay, I just had to look in my Mosby's drug guide after reading this. I have the 2003 (5th) edition and I guess the editors decided that wasn't an important nursing consideration anymore...I didn't see it mentioned anywhere...weird...

    UWECfuturenurse replied to UWECfuturenurse's topic in General Students

    Thanks for your opinions everyone! This actually won't be my first clinical. We start this semester working in acute care in a few weeks. Surgery/oncology sounds the most interesting to me...I'm just afraid that it might be a more difficult place...

13. How was your A&P experience?

    UWECfuturenurse replied to proud2bme's topic in General Students

    A&P was very hard, but also very interesting. This was actually the only class I have ever gotten a B in in my life...but I also got mono in the middle of the semester, so that might have something to do with it. Is your class just one semester...
