1. How best to get a critical care job out of nursing school?

   soraji posted a topic in Job Hunt

   Hello all! I'm currently in the process of going through my BSN degree. I am an older student changing careers to nursing. I want to get into a Nurse Anesthetist program as soon as possible after my BSN completes which requires a minimum of 1 year of...

2. Is it normal that my school doesn't teach us IVs?

   soraji replied to Annie_1101's topic in General Students

   The program I'm in does still teach Foley insertion, though the nurses that teach us have said they very rarely place Foleys in their day to day work. As for IV, a previous graduate of the program I'm in said it's not taught though the program may ha...

   I'm going to start this week. I just received my packet from LaSalle. The $200 fee I paid a week or two ago (I think it was due last week to reserve your spot).

    Yes, if it's like when I was last in the program, it has some wound care kit items (gauze, iodine, saline), a straight catheter set, gloves, etc. It contains all the items we'll use during the first semester during clinicals.

    Hi there! I'm finishing my last pre-req now (Anatomy & Physiology I). I'll be done with it in a few weeks. Are you starting during the fall or are you waiting until spring?

    soraji replied to Determined NNP's topic in School Programs

    Awesome! So glad to see there are a few of us who have confirmed for the fall. :) I had also applied to Drexel's ACE in the past. While I like the concept, it's very expensive and the accelerated format would definitely mean I'd have to quit my job. ...

    Definitely attending! The ACHIEVE program is the only one in the philly area that works for me as I need to continue to support myself as I go to class. I'll be working full time while working on my BSN.

    You're not too old at all! Cheers to figuring out what you really want in life and what will make you happy. :) There are tons of prep courses to take to get you back into the "swing" of studying and test taking. Best of luck!

15. Nurses, should I have kids now--or later?

    soraji replied to chubbybunnie's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hey there, I'm in the same boat. I'm 29 and am starting nursing school, but I would like a family one day. I have no children yet. My plan is to finish nursing school (or get close to finishing) then have kids. It's hard to balance work, school, and ...
