1. Nursing School Questions: CCHS vs Queens

   EDis4me replied to JG23's topic in North Carolina

   I just graduated from the Queens BSN program this past May. I absolutely loved it there. So much individual attention from the instructors! With the differences between ADN and BSN, I'm not so sure there is much of one when you are first starting out...

2. Queens students!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   EDis4me replied to adv379's topic in North Carolina

   I graduated from Queens BSN program in May 2009. I loved it!! The schedule is not too crazy until senior year in that program. There are 2-3 class days and 1-2 clinical days per week. One clinical day is 12 hours, or 2 of the 6 hour days. Instructors...

3. Charlotte

   EDis4me replied to LadyEJ BSN, RN's topic in North Carolina

   I agree. Gaston Memorial is the place to go. I did clinicals at 2-3 hospitals in Charlotte, but I have been most happy at Gaston Memorial. The atmosphere is so supportive. I have not seen any "nurses eating their young." It really seems like everyone...

   EDis4me replied to needsmore$'s topic in Emergency

   The system in our ED has a section in nurse's notes called outcomes, followed by a section that says discussed plan of care, goals met/not met. Then 8-10 fields r/t education, vitals assessed, neuro vitals, and a section for rx, crutches, etc.

5. Which should be seen first?

   EDis4me replied to g61j's topic in Emergency

   In my interview I had the question severe chest pain or asthma attack, and asthma attack was correct. My interviewer did say that to keep in mind that in the fast paced ER setting that I would probably be getting interventions started for both patien...

7. Just took the NCLEX and shut off at 75!!

   EDis4me replied to Mrs07RN09's topic in NCLEX

   I passed! It's still not on the Pearson Vue website, but I called the license verification phone number at my state board of nursing, typed in my social, and there it was. My last name, expiration date, and confirmation number. God is good!

8. Just took the NCLEX and shut off at 75!!

   EDis4me replied to Mrs07RN09's topic in NCLEX

   I feel the same as you! I just took mine yesterday and cut off at 75. Everyone said you would feel so horrible, or else really good, and I just felt numb! Good luck to you on the wait. Hopefully by tomorrow we will both be very happy!

9. How old is too old?!?!?

   EDis4me replied to Amy Married to Art's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I just graduated a couple of weeks ago, and I graduated alongside many students in their 40's and up. I think one person was closer to 60. What I, as a twenty something, really enjoyed about this was having friends going through the same things as my...

12. Queens University of Charlotte

    EDis4me replied to cool12's topic in North Carolina

    Ok. Here's the deal. Both the ADN and BSN program for the Presbyterian School of Nursing at Queens University are under the umbrella of Queens. Presbyterian Hospital no longer has any ties to the program, other than in name, and in that ADN program g...

13. Queens Accelerated BSN Students

    EDis4me replied to jm14638's topic in North Carolina

    I am not in the accelerated BSN, but I am in the BSN program. It has not yet begun as far as I know. But I have had several of the instructors that will be teaching in that program and they are absolutely wonderful. I have always felt that I could ta...

14. ER nurses wear "biggirl panties"

    EDis4me replied to TraumaNurseRN's topic in Emergency

    Do big girl training pants count? I have accepted a job in an ER, but I am still in my program until May. But after reading all that you guys have to say I am definitely super excited! I can't wait to become one of you guys!

15. Rules for the ER (long)

    EDis4me replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    HAHA! I will be sure to remember all of these pearls of wisdom when starting my new grad ED job in June. This is way more helpful than a majority of stuff you learn in a nursing program.
