1. Don't wanna always give baths, clean up feces, etc., where to work?

   WannaBCRNA posted a topic in General Nursing

   In clinicals we just give baths, clean up poop and puke, and feed patients. I honestly want nothing to do with this once I'm a nurse, so, where/what floors can I work on as a new grad, in order to avoid this? I do have an interest in Psych nursing.

8. In Nursing School, how much science?

   WannaBCRNA replied to WannaBCRNA's topic in New Nurse

   Thanks for all the replies- I start my RN program in Jan. And, I got A's in all my pre-req. science courses (well except physiology, and due to an unfair teacher I should have a B in microbio!) I was just wondering how much I'll run into (science) in...

9. In Nursing School, how much science?

   WannaBCRNA replied to WannaBCRNA's topic in New Nurse

   Glad to hear it's not too crazy! I really don't care for science, and not that it would deter me from the program anyway, but I dearly love the nursing field! I think our Pathophys class here is fairly "easy", physiology was hard, but I'm past that. ...

10. In Nursing School, how much science?

    WannaBCRNA posted a topic in New Nurse

    For those of you who have been through Nursing school (I'm doing my BSN), but much science did you run into? Not, pre-nursing, but actual nursing school. I'm talking hard science like chem, bio, maybe microbio? Or, was it more just science related di...

    WannaBCRNA replied to WannaBCRNA's topic in New Nurse

    Thanks everyone-lots of info! It would be hard for me to work right now, as I'm putting a lot of effort into classes and being on the Dean's list, so I'm glad that a lack of experience has not hurt anyone! I will check into externships! Thanks all! L...

14. Wish you would have had experience before 1st job?

    WannaBCRNA posted a topic in New Nurse

    To all you new grads entering the nursing work force--do you think it is important to have some type of nursing experience under your belt, prior to graduation? I'm just in the middle of my school's nursing program (going for the BSN), and have never...
