    Most of the studies I've seen through obtaining my BSN mentioned education was the greater factor past the beginning years and, of course the best scenario is at least BSN with several years of experience in that particular specialty. Off the top of...
  2. chiropractor employee taking blood pressures

    Thanks for providing these links. There are some clinics that have given me good reason to invest in some stationary lol.
  3. You Can Run But You Can't Hide

    I have my hospital's number saved in my phone... And the ringer is silent -- vibrate is off, too. Takes away the pressure of answering when I don't even know it happened
  4. Accepted into the VA VALOR nursing residency program!!!

    The STEP program allows students that are enrolled (usually at least half-time) the opportunity to earn income working at that particular VA facility. My experience? You must be matriculating at one of several schools that the medical center has an...
  5. Jobs that pay the least in Florida?

    Where are these amazing places you speak of? LOL I can set a goal for myself once I get a few years of experience under my belt.
  6. Is it legal to call yourself "Nurse" when you in fact are not?

    It does tie into the topic since it deals with the misrepresentation of the title "nurse". I'm in the last weeks of nursing school with graduation on the horizon & boards soon to follow, however while in my preceptorship, I make sure the patients...

    the one that really gets me is "alot"...... a lot! a lot!! space in the middle, please! let's get it together people!!! probably came from a grade school teacher putting this on every spelling exam given. guess that teacher got the point across... (...
  8. Co-Worker not smelling so good

    I would have more respect towards the person that told me this information in a one-on-one, kind, but matter-a-fact way than if it was an anonymous note. The latter sounds very passive-aggressive. I believe mental health nursing would call the former...

    Fourth semester student here with finals today @ 1300 The fulltime online program is really dependent on if you're self-motivated. It depends on the online instructor if you'll get case studies or discussions to prepare for a test, but you only sh...
  10. Why not a "match day" for nurses?

    We have a preceptorship program incorporated into our ADN nursing school curriculum as the final 1/3 of our semester. We, in essence, get "matched" to a preceptor at a hospital in a specialty after we provide the school with a list of our preference...

  12. Those experienced in taking blood pressure, I'M DESPERATE!!

    If I came off as snippy (only word I could think of), then I apologize. You are definitely right with this tip! It may help the OP focus in the right area to become familiar with what to listen to. And listening to sounds on the web; our instructo...
  13. School Assignment: To do it or not to do it?

    I don't think of the other learning assignments as worthless; they just don't allow me to work efficiently. Doing more work doesn't necessarily make you a better student if come test day or in clinical, it still doesn't click for you. When I comple...

    YAY! Can't wait to see everyone on NSA Day! Make sure to bring cash to buy tickets for the baskets in the drawing. Half of the money raised goes towards your class's fund for planning their respective pinning ceremony. The other half goes to NSA for...
  15. Those experienced in taking blood pressure, I'M DESPERATE!!

    I suggest not using this approach because the diastolic sound may become inaudible, but the needle still ticks down. It can also happen with the systolic reading. You should go by the SOUND primarily instead of the needle movement or you may get an...
