1. Taylor College Bellview Florida

   BEW612 replied to Ashley_StudentNurse's topic in School Programs

   I know a couple of very educated nurses that work for Taylor. Although I didn't go there myself I will offer one piece of advice. A lot about nursing school is what you make of it and how much you apply yourself, pay attention and learn the material....

2. What are your pet peeves?

   BEW612 replied to forgop's topic in Emergency

   Patients that come in for N/V/D/ABD pain. Then in the same freaking breath tell me the nausea and pain meds didn't work and also that they are hungry and want a sandwich. One or the other folks. Either I can get you something else for the nausea or y...

3. Nursing school supplies advice

   BEW612 replied to angiee's topic in General Students

   Anything I need I can usually find on amazon for cheaper than the nursing supply type websites. My school gave us a little kit to start off. I would wait and see what they give you and go from there. The one thing I got in addition to what they gave ...

5. Nursing Shoes??

   BEW612 replied to KLBatchelor's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Alegrias are really comfortable...I have those and a cheap pair of nikes from TJ Maxx that I rotate sometimes.

6. Do I need 2 stethoscopes?

   BEW612 replied to meghan91's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I have an extra...mostly because sometimes I lose an earpiece or something while I'm at clinicals and don't have time to replace it before I go back to clinicals again the next day. My nursing school gave us a crappy prestige one though, so I only ac...

7. Did you learn IV in NS?!

   BEW612 replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in General Students

   We practiced on a plastic arm in lab and are allowed to do it depending on the facility and the nurses...always with either the RN or our instructor. I have only had the opportunity to attempt one on a very tiny old lady with tiny veins and it didn't...

8. how can i study for the psychiatric class?

   BEW612 replied to chariot's topic in Student Assist

   I found that it helped to focus on how I would communicate with a person who had each kind of disorder that we studied. Such as with someone having a hallucination saying "I don't see anything, that must be frightening for you." Most of my questions ...

9. Medical Terminology class--useful?

   BEW612 replied to sKris's topic in General Students

   I don't feel like not having it has created a huge problem for other people in my class, but they always have a lot more questions than I do related to terminology.

10. Medical Terminology class--useful?

    BEW612 replied to sKris's topic in General Students

    Medical terminology was very helpful for me and I would recommend it. My class was online though, so it was basically reading the book and doing the book work which you could do on your own. We used the medical terminology book by Davi-Ellen Chabne...

11. Any Bon Secours nursing students? Or Germanna Nursing?

    BEW612 replied to country73's topic in General Students

    First, congratulations on your acceptance into not one but two nursing schools! This is just my two cents as I live in Virginia Beach and don't have experience with either of those schools. I would go to Germanna and get the RN. Then get a job and go...
