   Am I cut out for the ED?

   Hope.A replied to Hope.A's topic in Emergency

   Thanks! Unfortunately I only had ONE DAY in the ED during my clinicals last semester. I loved it but I wasn't oriented, not enough time -- did get to start two IVs though =). This semester we're in the ICU and Pediatrics, so I'm not sure if I'll ge...

   Format for handwritten lab values

   Hope.A replied to superwee's topic in General Nursing

   There's also a free iPhone app that uses this, in case anyone is interested. It's called "MedLab Tutor" and it's from Georgia Health Sciences University (and no, I don't work for them or anything, I just use this app as a nursing student and it's bee...

   Oh! good call, maybe they are being sent in alphabetical order -- my last name starts with A, (I was that first person on the list who got dropped off at the orientation), lol. I got my permission codes late yesterday afternoon, so I'm sure she's s...

   Pre-Nursing student going overboard

   Hope.A replied to cookie91's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It doesn't sound like you're doing anything wrong -- actually it sounds like you're doing the right thing by figuring out all of the application requirements in advance instead of waiting until the last second. Like you, I noticed that all the schoo...

    Need a more positive outlook - help!

    Hope.A posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hi Everybody, I'm looking for some affirmation about the "environment" of being a nurse. I've always been a very low-drama, easy-going, easy to get along with person, and the more I read and hear about the nursing profession, I'm afraid there is jus...

    So many obstacles..

    Hope.A replied to NiaSmith's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hey Nia! I know how it can feel like there's no way you'll be able to finish (and sometimes it seems hard to even start!), but if nursing is what you want to do, you shouldn't let anything get in your way. When I decided I wanted to go back to scho...

    I'm working on my pre-reqs for Nursing

    Hope.A replied to Krystin's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Kyla, just wanted to reply to you really quick - I know what you mean - I think we were more freaked out by how MANY people in our classes are going into nursing. The first girl I was talking to, who said she was doing nursing - I thought, awesome! ...

    Taking My Own Advice

    Hope.A replied to VaStudentNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Aw, if you lived nearby you could have some of my stuff... I've been collecting a few things for yard sale myself... waffle iron... sports stuff... Do you have a church that you go to? many churches have "needs boards" where you can post immediate n...

    I'm working on my pre-reqs for Nursing

    Hope.A replied to Krystin's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Yeah! Go Mimi and Krystin! It's like I want to say "good luck to everyone (but not if you're applying to the same schools I am!)"... which is a bad attitude to have... But yeah, it irritates me like none other when people say things about how they ...

    I just signed into AllNurses JUST so I could post this exact same message! And you said it better than I would have! I just decided to go back to school for nursing a few months ago (after already getting a bachelor's in something else)... and the ...
