  1. Hospital that bans family members

    I work in an inpatient pharmaceutical research company. NO VISITORS, locked units, no phone calls (other than to their cells), strict bedtime and subjects have to obey all the rules or risk getting kicked out (aka not paid complete payments). We get ...
  2. RN to BSN at WGU?

    I finished my BSN in Feb 2015 at WGU. You simply can not beat the cost. The assessments are not that difficult. I hate to admit this, but I rarely read the text books. I would work through some of the other information available and then take the ass...
  3. Herzing University FNP program

    I start at the end of this month. How has it been so far?
  4. What are you getting for payment?

    YMCA pays $250 a week plus free tuition the week I was working for only 1 child. Another option was to do 2 weekend stayovers in exchange for 1 weeks tuition for 1 child. The camp is over an hour away and I wasn't working at the time of hire last sum...
  5. Congrats! I just graduated myself earlier this month. Do you have your foot in the door anywhere (working as a CNA or Unit Clerk)? Or was any particular nurse or clinical instructor impressed with you during clinical. If so, start with these avenues....

  7. Why doesn't the military accept online BSNs?

    I would ask to see something in writting if they say yes. The recruiter is there to sign you up for the military... they don't give a crap where you end up. I was raised around a base, attempted to enter the military, and befriended my recruiter. Aft...
  8. Anyone ever bought nursing skills DVD's?

    I think you can find about a million nursing school videos on youtube that do the trick. I wouldn't waste money on something I could get for free.
  9. CNA's Applying heat

    I honestly had an intructor tell me (RN nursing student) we could not apply heating pads or ice with out a doctors orders... I nearly laughed so hard I peed! I doubt that is true (I had other instructors contraindicate this) and even if it is, I will...
  10. My first precipitous delivery - freaked out!

    Oh my, bless your heart. That sounds really scary; you got my heart pumping just reading it! While a lot of things COULD have gone wrong, you handled it the best you could and it all worked out. I would think the pressure of pushing would be more tha...
  11. Any nurses out there with siblings who are doctors?

    My brother is a doctor and he is really supportive. No way do I have the time, energy, or interest to become a doctor. He tells me how proud he is of me for going to school to be a nurse. Sometimes, I get lost when he talks to me (still being a stude...
  12. Just pick off the label and no one is the wiser! I love mine but don't like the show and what it stands for so I won't advertise for them.
  13. Scissors and Holster

    I have those shears and I LOVE THEM! They are quite large though so I usually leave them in my bag and opt for a smaller pair. I need to use them more because they are great. I have a pocket holster as well but I never used it. It weighed down one po...
  14. BRA!!!!

    Get sized and then try on Playtex 18 Hour comfort lace bra. No, it is not a sexy bra but OH MY, my back is not killing me at the end of the day like with other bras. Wire free but the boobs don't sag like with other wire free bras. Heres a link: htt...
