1. 8 month old baby dies because iv line could not be accessed

   Justanotherday replied to ibnkoomson's topic in General Nursing

   When I was in a pediatric ER during clinicals, the hospital used Hylenex when they could not access a vein for fluid replacement so I was able to see a baby with this in her back. The children's hospital they took critical cases to did not have thi...

2. Wife, mother of 5 and want to go to nursing school. How hard is it

   Justanotherday replied to Mrs.YayaLozada's topic in General Students

   I also have five children, and my advice would be not to be in a hurry and enjoy them. For me, I have had to take prereqs for the past two years just to apply to my nursing program. If you do also, perhaps you could start out slowly with a class at...

3. Spanish for Nurses

   Justanotherday replied to nursejacquelina's topic in General Nursing

   I have been trying to teach myself Spanish, too. I use Visual Link Spanish. It is a computer program with three levels. Level I gets you speaking everyday sentences in about 10 minutes and makes you feel like you can really learn it. Levels II an...

4. How long until I can get my GPA up?

   Justanotherday replied to Ethsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am assuming all these classes are just to get into nursing school? My community college has about 12 prereqs specifically to enter their nursing program, and they *only* count those classes in your GPA when applying, no matter what other classes y...

5. Spanish class or Rosetta?

   Justanotherday replied to OBplease's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I just wanted to recommend Visual Link Spanish. It is a computer program, and they offer three levels. The first one really gets you speaking in simple, everyday sentences, which is helpful to practice on each other around the house. If you go to ...

6. Moms to small children that are in nursing school?

   Justanotherday replied to Devie06's topic in General Students

   Well, I am going to give the opposite advice from all the "supermoms" on here (I don't mean that in a bad way, you know, just the ones who seem to "do it all". I get it that some moms *have* to do it all.). You say your husband has a good job...I e...

7. Hardest Prerequisite

   Justanotherday replied to tiffjh2's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Pottery. Yep. I thought for sure it was going to keep me out of nursing school, I was so bad at it I thought I was going to have to repeat it!

8. 54 year old sahm, am I nuts to think I want this?

   Justanotherday replied to cathyn518's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have run into several 50-ish prenursing students at my school. I say it's now or never, why not do it?

9. fun: what does this photo say to you?

   Justanotherday replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

   I hate it when I have Krazy Glue on my fingers and I go to scratch my head!

10. Becoming a nurse at 40?

    Justanotherday replied to corinda's topic in General Students

    I will be 46 when I become an RN. I have older children, and my youngest are 6 and 9 which we homeschool. They are a big part of why I chose nursing. Right now I work retail because there aren't many options working evenings or weekends, but nursi...

11. Worried about fall schedule....

    Justanotherday replied to MyGranniePanties's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Does your school not offer summer classes? I am about to finish a five week class and start another at mine. Seems like you could knock out the Algebra, Nutrition, or Sociology this summer to lighten your load for fall.

12. Frederick Community College?

    Justanotherday replied to jenniepaige's topic in Maryland

    I haven't checked in here in a while! But my spring semester went well and I just started a five week summer class. I met a nursing student from FCC last summer who said she went into the program with a 4.0 and was only able to maintain B's & h...

13. Books...Yowza

    Justanotherday replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Did you look on Amazon, too? Have you looked in to renting textooks? Bookrenter.com is one site.

14. My bright idea....

    Justanotherday replied to janedoe29's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I wonder if the director of a crisis pregnancy center in your area might have some advice.

15. Language or Experience?

    Justanotherday replied to thmpr's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I was thinking too. Eventually the new hire will be an experienced nurse and bilingual, which is an asset to the hospital. The patients and their families will appreciate her, too.
