1. Level 1 nursing student....HELP!!!!

   CarinaBallerina replied to bri2012's topic in Student Assist

   What I do is try to break the "best answer" questions down. What are things that can be life threatening? (Think Airway, Breathing, Circulation - ABCs!) If there is one of those, that's the "best" thing to do first because it's the most important. Th...

   Fiona and AirForceRN, thanks so much for your replies! I appreciate it. I'm Canadian, too, so the Canadian info is great.

   CarinaBallerina replied to CarinaBallerina's topic in International

   Thanks so much, AirForceRN! Off topic, but do you have "civilian nurses" who work on the AirForce base where you are? A family member just joined the army, so its got me wondering about nursing jobs in the forces.

   Hello, I'm still a student, but two of my current areas of interests are psych nursing and pediatric nursing. I'm wondering if there's anyone who works in pediatric psych? I'd be really really interested in anything you can tell me about what you do,...

   Thanks so much, AirForceRN! Would you happen to know what sort of experience he had prior to getting that job? Med Surg? I really appreciate your reply. His job sounds like something that I would be really interested in.

   AirForceRN, and Guppy, thank you so much for your replies! AirForceRN, when you say "lock up" do you mean the temporary cells in the police station? That must be an interesting job. Is your friend who does that on AllNurses? Thanks!

   CarinaBallerina replied to 39bcgirl's topic in Canada

   Hart, It sounds like you're really prepared. UBC has released statistics on their last year's class, and I believe 67% of those accepted had a prior degree. They look for good grades, volunteer work, a committment to nursing and a passion for it, and...

   Jenn and Guppy, thank you so much for your replies! I really appreciate it. How much experience did you have prior to becoming a SANE? Where did you work? Emerg? Med-surg? I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to me.

9. Nurses who work with the police?

   CarinaBallerina replied to CarinaBallerina's topic in International

   Thanks for your reply! No, I wasn't talking about being based in a police station. Does anyone know if that sort of job exists? I thought that correctional nursing had more to do with the prison system than the police? How much contact do you have w...

    CarinaBallerina replied to Jessjaz's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hello! I think the policy about this may vary by school, but at my school, "recycling" your own essays is considered plagarism, and you can be suspended/expelled for it. You can quote yourself, but you have to site it proplerly, as you would any othe...

    CarinaBallerina replied to 39bcgirl's topic in Canada

    You can no longer apply directly to UBC Vancouver nursing from high school. (This is different to applying to do general arts or sciences at UBC, where you apply from high school). UBC Vancouver nursing is an accelerated two year program. You need to...
