1. Taking a few months off for baby after nursing school?

   Nurseinprocess replied to LavenderDream's topic in General Nursing

   I had a classmate who delivered right at the end of a semester, which was the winter one, and that enabled her to take a lot of time off over the summer before hitting the books again in the fall. She had her baby and was back taking an exam 2 days ...

2. Mandatory Influenza Vaccine

   Nurseinprocess replied to AllisonMcTigue's topic in General Nursing

   My employers force their staff to get the flu vaccination. You can decline if you have a valid documented reaction or some religious reason, but you have to wear a mask October through March. You cannot just choose not to get it and wear a mask, th...

3. BSN...Help!

   Nurseinprocess replied to MNJones's topic in General Nursing

   I didn't even realize that you could start BSN classes before you complete an Associate's program. That is quite a load! Are you just taking classes or are you actually in a Bachelor's program? I would wrap up the Associates and the NCLEX before y...

4. How many patients do student nurses have?

   Nurseinprocess replied to Katlin1315's topic in General Nursing

   Are you a nurse assistant? Where I live techs are usually nursing students working as nurse assistants. I can't imagine working as a nurse assistant and having 20 pts on a med surge floor, that is nuts. When I was a nursing student I don't think w...

5. RN to BSN in Michigan?

   Nurseinprocess replied to mslayt's topic in Michigan

   I don't think you do any prereqs for a bridge program, you just pick one that suits your style (some have clinicals, some are all writing papers and taking tests). I think most people pick a program based on cost. My coworker is halfway done with...

6. Patients Say the Darnedest Things - WIN $250! Nurses Week Contest 2018

   Nurseinprocess replied to Brian S.'s topic in General Nursing

   Not a pt comment, but the mother of one of my post partum pts asked me if it takes a few days for the baby to open its eyes . This lady had presumably given birth to the pt, lol.

7. Pregnant in nursing school.

   Nurseinprocess replied to charunse's topic in General Students

   We had a pregnant classmate in my nursing program. It was her third kid. She was due right at the end of our OB rotation, so she picked a clinical site that was the hospital she was planning to deliver at, just in case. She did fine, I don't remem...

8. Which bsn nurasing school should I go to? How important is school location and rank?

   Nurseinprocess replied to Azhe5298's topic in General Students

   Go to the least expensive one closest to where you want to work. Don't take on too much debt.

9. Older Student, Unprofessional Nurse During Clinical

   Nurseinprocess replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in General Students

   If you are being a nutty, unreasonable, horrible patient you may find me talking about you to my colleagues. I am not one to use foul or inappropriate language, though. I only work with maybe one or two people who use unprofessional language when d...

10. The detail I missed that set my day on the wrong foot

    Nurseinprocess replied to ellisjl's topic in General Nursing

    I've never done that, but whenever I have bad dreams about work I am not dressed right and have flip flops or some other bizarre thing going on with my wardrobe. I have shown up missing an earring a couple times. Ooops.

11. What do you do with your wedding ring?

    Nurseinprocess replied to Nephron44's topic in General Nursing

    I don't wear mine. I am actually shocked at how many of my coworkers do wear their big fancy wedding sets to work.

12. Weird time-clock rules at work

    Nurseinprocess replied to opalbee's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work you can clock in 12 minutes early, but you won't get any extra pay for that, it just ensures we all clock in on time. We can clock out 12 minutes early if have given report on all our pts. A few of my coworkers have their phone alarms ...

13. Can I work three 12hours shifts while going to school for BSN

    Nurseinprocess replied to Treeanaxo's topic in General Students

    So you are working three twelve hr shifts in a position that isn't RN? I first read it thinking you were RN bridging to BSN. How long is your BSN program? Is it 4 years? Is it accelerated? There are too many factors to answer your question. Nur...

14. A and P over Summer?

    Nurseinprocess replied to Broadstreetbully24's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would not want to take on A&P with any other classes so my vote would be to take it over the summer so that is your only focus. It is a very tough class that I know many people struggle with and end up taking it more than once (I managed an A-...

15. Non-nursing first job?

    Nurseinprocess replied to NurseandMa's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I am confused, when I first read your post I thought you were asking about taking a RN job that wasn't patient care. If you mean getting a first job that isn't as a nurse at all, what was the point of getting a nursing degree? And how is th...
