   MsAng replied to NicoleRNGonzaga's topic in School

   We all know that Rights for safe medication administration. These rights are taught to reduce medication errors. Unfortunately, many errors occur due to negligence in utilizing these rights. I give 16 kids daily medications at an elementary school...

3. Becoming a nurse

   MsAng replied to jencmccutcheon88's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Nursing school is tough for anyone. Period. I started my pre-req's when my youngest started kindergarten. I did the BSN track and took most of my pre-req's online. When I started the nursing program, it was required full time with no online work, ...

4. How busy is your office?

   MsAng replied to scrubsrn24's topic in School

   I am at an elementary school with 1,000 students. I see, on average, approximately 40 students per day. That includes daily meds and procedures. My biggest pet peeve is when there are substitute teachers. They have no problem sending half the cla...

   MsAng replied to schoolnurseamy's topic in School

   It is our district policy that school nurses are hired for students ONLY! Per our policy, we cannot see/treat staff. However, if there is an emergency.... obviously I will do what I can to help. I do not mind doing a BP here and there if a staff me...

7. Holy wash cloths, Batman! (ATI video out of control.)

   MsAng replied to dandk1997RN's topic in General Students

   I had to laugh because my school requires ATI also and I remember that video you are referring to. I thought the exact same thing. It was really over-the-top with the amount of washcloths the nurse in the video used. Not real-life nursing IMO.

8. College Algebra or Statistics? Pre-Nursing.

   MsAng replied to OnaTrek's topic in Pre-Nursing

   College algebra may be easier for most, however I agree that stats is a requirement for many nursing programs (it is in my program). So taking Stats would be a wise choice, in my opinion. Good luck to ya!

9. Is there anyone knows what are the signs for a pregnant women to come to the hospital

   MsAng replied to mikhy's topic in General Nursing

   I respectfully disagree with some of your post. I for one could talk during my contractions. When I called my provider about my contractions, he doubted my need to come to the hospital. But I went anyway. I was 5 cm and gave birth 2 hours later. ...

    MsAng replied to sherriberry1's topic in Student Assist

    You said it all! I just finished my psych semester and everything you stated was about 85% of what we focused on. My instructors were huge CAM therapy advocates, so the other 15% of the WHOLE semester was spent on CAM therapies. A little bit much,...

    MsAng replied to hellotonyyang's topic in Student Assist

    Definately study up on your grammar... there were quite a few questions on grammar/spelling that seemed to trip up a lot of people (even 4.0 students!). There were some science questions that I had no clue about so I scored kinda low in that area. ...

    MsAng replied to DarcyD's topic in General Nursing

    I am in a BSN program right now and I started when my youngest entered Kindergarten. Kindergarten here is full day, so I registered for classes that were during my kids' school hours. It's working well for me. My husband is retired military, but i...

15. And I continue my rant of MAs pretending to be nurses..

    MsAng replied to nurseby07's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently a student in the middle of a BSN program. I have a "friend" who introduced herself to me as being a nurse. I proceeded to ask her if she was an RN, to which she replied, "yep, I'm an RN." After about a year I have recently figured ou...
