4. Nursing school IS rigorous

   pacificoastnurse replied to sjalv's topic in General Students

   This is a great post! You know what you're getting into, you're expecting nursing school to be hard, but yes it's hard to really know till you get there. This explains it well. And while you're in there with no social life, studying your life away, r...

6. Renton Technical College RN Program Fall 2013

   pacificoastnurse replied to PBJBanana88's topic in School Programs

   I took all my pre-reqs there also and loved the teachers too. Unfortunately the problem instructors are not gone but the dean is so hopefully it does get turned around when you're there. If you'd like I can tell you more but I'd rather not post anyth...

7. Renton Technical College RN Program Fall 2013

   pacificoastnurse replied to PBJBanana88's topic in School Programs

   Worst school ever. Good luck you'll need it. Or drop out now and try somewhere else. It's worth it to wait it out and go somewhere else. I wish I had. They aren't accredited. Many hospitals will not hire you after you graduate since they aren't accre...

   pacificoastnurse replied to pacificoastnurse's topic in Job Hunt

   Thank you very much! Hopefully this helps. I definitely need to work on my nervousness because I'm sure my body language does not match anything I say as I continue to recognize my constant fidgeting with my hands. I think for the future I'm going ...

10. Can't interview at all.

    pacificoastnurse posted a topic in Job Hunt

    I am horrible at interviews! I used to feel very comfortable with them a few years ago when the job didn't matter and now that I'm nearing the end of nursing school I have lost my "touch" or whatever. The last few interviews I have had for CNA jobs ...

11. Suggestions for Med-Surg and Pharm?

    pacificoastnurse replied to GamerGirL337's topic in Student Assist

    If you have ATI there's a lot of sections on there for pharm and med/surg that are helpful. You can go to quia.com and search for quizzes from other instructors for practice and a drug guide book would only be helpful for referring to specific drugs...

13. NCLEX Dosage calculation, problem with rounding numbers

    pacificoastnurse replied to travleur's topic in General Students

    I just finished my nursing math class. If you're measuring in cc/ml and the answer is less than 1, round to the nearest hundredth. If the answer is more than 1, round to the nearest tenth. And of course with gtts round to the nearest whole number.
