2. how many classmates dropped in your first semester?

   cori.d replied to allthingsbright's topic in General Students

   I went to a small and pretty selective nursing school. I started out with 60 and graduated 2 years later with 12. So...yes, it's weed-out time! Good luck

3. cardiac/bp meds- giving against policies/non-tele unit

   cori.d replied to smartynurse's topic in Safety

   I'm strictly a critical care nurse, but I occasionally (rarely) get floated to step-down/telemetry. I stick by the policies, because even though I know the meds and what side effects to anticipate, I'm busy with 5-6 other patients and don't have the...

4. Weggoners granulomatosis HELP!

   cori.d replied to smk1's topic in General Nursing

   My cousin was diagnosed with it four years ago. To be honest, it can be a pretty rough disease. Given his experiences, I would recommend seeing a specialist at a major medical research center ASAP. It's an autoimmune disorder that usually "attacks...

7. Steps to becoming a flight nurse

   cori.d replied to Ebeza's topic in Flight

   Well, I can tell you that changing to ER won't eliminate the water runs, the bedpan changes, or cleaning up vomit. However as a young nurse myself, the general attitude in ER is a lot younger as well. It's much more enjoyable for me to work in the ...

8. Need a Night Job to go to Nursing school during the day

   cori.d replied to claire2000's topic in Career Support

   I worked as a bartender in nursing school. It was a lot of fun for me, and ironically great experience. You learn customer service, delegation responsibilities, and conflict resolution. At least that's what I put on my resume! You mostly work wee...

   cori.d replied to nellie_nurse812's topic in Career Support

   University of Phoenix, all the way. I started attending four months ago, and I'll be completing my third class next week. Each class is 5 weeks long (you only take one class at a time). Getting my BSN through a traditional university would have be...
