1. Burnout...what to do about it?

   Destin293 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Anyone here ever experience burnout? If so, what did you do about it? I have been a nurse for almost 5 years...which is really not long at all. But, I am heading closer and closer to burnout, if I’m not there already. I used to look forward to going ...

2. Lehman Accelerated BSN not accepting repeated prerequisites

   Destin293 replied to MusicalMedic3's topic in New York

   I graduated from Lehman’s accelerated program in 2014 and I had 1 class that was repeated (A&P 1) that I took 10 years prior to retaking the class. I do remember at that time they also had a policy in place that said no repeated coursework, but i...

3. What to expect during L&D???

   Destin293 replied to Destin293's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who responded...the info really helped! I also want to say I have a whole new respect for L&D nurses and what you have to deal with...I can only imagine some of the patients you have that refuse to sway ...

4. What to expect during L&D???

   Destin293 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   I am almost 32 weeks pregnant and starting to become more and more anxious over labor and delivery. I graduated nursing school 4 years ago and don't remember much from my maternity rotation (zero interest in L&D or having a baby...then an 'oops' ...

5. Pregnant and working...how do you do it?!?!?

   Destin293 replied to Destin293's topic in General Nursing

   Stupid answer, Sour Lemon. You're a moron.

6. Pregnant and working...how do you do it?!?!?

   Destin293 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm an ER nurse and currently 26 weeks pregnant with my 1st child. My 1st trimester hit me hard with fatigue...my 2nd trimester has been absolutely amazing! I had all my energy back, I was able to get everything done that I needed to do, etc. I'm app...

7. What's it like in maternity clinicals?

   Destin293 replied to BookishBelle's topic in General Students

   I remember it being boring. I saw 1 vaginal delivery which was cool and 1 c-section. As far as actually spending time with babies, that didn't happen. We would see them briefly after birth, but once they were all cleaned and settled, they were sent f...

8. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

   Destin293 replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

   Thanks for posting! I listened to the podcast and it was really interesting. It did get me thinking about the whole debate and I looked at the schedule of childhood vaccines...they do have a lot of them out there compared to when I was a child! I can...

9. I need help!

   Destin293 replied to idave19's topic in General Students

   If it's SUNY Downstate, I can almost guarantee that is cumulative (including your SB GPA). Downstate has very tough admission standards.

10. Is nursing for me

    Destin293 replied to Big_Mike's topic in General Students

    The worst students can be good students, but it won't mean a thing if you can't pass the classes.

11. When do nursing programs do drug tests?

    Destin293 replied to helloego's topic in General Students

    I was only drug tested one time during NS, and that was for the only clinical site that required drug testing. I was tested for each nursing job, though.

12. First jobs as nurse?

    Destin293 replied to Bentleysmama's topic in General Students

    Whether you land a job after graduation all depends on the candidate you are. I went to school in NYC which is notoriously saturated with new grads. Every person in my graduating ABSN class (13 of us) landed a job within 1 - 9 months of graduation an...

13. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    Destin293 replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    I can only imagine how heated that debate must have been!

14. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    Destin293 replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    You do realize "peer reviewed" does not mean a bunch of like minded individuals sitting in a room giving each other pats on the back for furthering their agenda, right? And you do know the driving force behind the entire medical field (nursing includ...

15. Nurses, am I crazy for thinking I can do this?

    Destin293 replied to Aaron.goins3's topic in General Students

    If you can stay organized and study, then you may be able to do it. Just be prepared to drop everything, EVERYTHING, and focus only on studying. You have a lot to lose if you mess up in the classes. Another option would be to take 3 of those classes ...
