   newestlilnurse2b replied to newestlilnurse2b's topic in NP Students

   I do remember glancing at Drexel, but something must have turned me off. Likely it was the travel, which will be hard while working full time. I am going to look into it in more depth right now. Peds options are very limited. Vanderbilt was another o...

   The local college that I was first interested in, has closed the peds acute program at this time, and will not have the primary peds class this fall if the minimal number of spots is not filled. For this reason, I am looking into online options. Thos...

   newestlilnurse2b posted a topic in Pediatric

   I just graduated in May and after a nice break, went straight to peds almost 2 months ago. We use the Baxter buritrol tubing, and I don't completely understand them. When running maintenance fluids, or when adding meds to the buritrol, I have problem...

   I interview next week for a med/surg and rehab position AND for an intermediate care position. Nurse recruitment said I'll need to be ready to offer them a preference after the interviews. I think I'd love the intermediate care with monitored beds ...

10. Why be a nurse?

    newestlilnurse2b posted a topic in General Students

    I always dread the question by interviewers: Why do you want to be a nurse?? Obviously, we all want to nurture, comfort and help those in need. We want to know that we have made a difference in the lives of those we come in contact with. In turn, i...

    newestlilnurse2b replied to newestlilnurse2b's topic in NCLEX

    I did not take any review course. I had studied so much for HESI (and passed the first attempt) that I honestly felt prepared for the NCLEX. I tested on a Thursday and by Saturday I had my results in the mail from my BON. I could not believe it was...
