  1. (I tried asking on reddit but I haven't gotten any replies so I figured I'd try here.) Hi all, I've got 3 1/2 years experience med-surg (and I guess it was a med/tele floor? Several pts were on tele monitored by techs), including 1 year cha...
  2. Thank you. I think my mind has been made up for awhile, but I've just been too anxious to go through with it. I think I'm going to go ahead and ask them if I can come in and speak with them today. I don't think it'd be right to do another shift using...
  3. So update: I tried giving it some more time on the floor, and I still find myself feeling the same as a month ago. I understand I need to communicate this to my boss as soon as possible, and with that I have a question. I'm scheduled to orient tonigh...
  4. I’m not sure how to organize this, so bear with me if things aren’t neatly described. I have a FT night weekend position on a med-surg floor. My husband and I have been working down our debt for roughly the last 12 mos. Part of our plan to work on de...
  5. My GPA is trash. What to do now?

    What they said. ^^^ I was living in FL and wouldn't have been able to get into any school there (well, beside some of the for-profits). At the same time my husband was looking to transfer to a different location, and so I researched nursing schools i...
  6. [Forgive me if this isn't in the right subforum. It isn't an entrance exam, and it isn't really an exit exam either, so I didn't know if should go there anyway. Please feel free to move it, moderators, if necessary!] Hello all! My classmates and I ar...
  7. Calhoun Comm College Fall 2015

    Hello there! I'm finishing my first semester at Calhoun in the fulltime ADN program, and I just wanted to give advice to those of you who will enter this fall. Before school starts: -Join the Calhoun Nursing Mentors group on Facebook, if you have on...
  8. Asking for prayers: multiple nursing students died in car accident

    I'm terribly sorry to hear this. My last clinical day is tomorrow, and I could never imagine losing any of my cohort like that. My deepest condolences to you and your classmates.
  9. I agree with the PPs. Try to find out if it's your studying/schooling that is affecting how he feels. At his age, you might be able to explain to him about your school-- it's temporary, and does take away your time from him, but it's important-- and ...
  10. Use medical dictionary, or Google?

    Ah, I see. I didn't realize that I would need to use it for that. I thought the dictionary would only be for my personal benefit if I didn't know a particular medical term. Thank you!
  11. Use medical dictionary, or Google?

    Thanks! I was cleaning my desk tonight and noticed it had managed to gather dust already.
  12. Hello everyone, So, I'm about 8 weeks into my RN program, and I have yet to touch the Taber's Medical Dictionary on my desk. Anytime that I didn't know what a term meant, I Googled it. I know this may seem trivial, but I'd like to sell my dictionary ...
  13. Changes in language

    I'll be honest... I'm 25 and I don't really know what a transistor radio is. The only Transistor I know is a videogame.
  14. Changes in language

    Google, as in "Google it" to search for something Vlogging YouTube Netflix Streaming (for movies/music) If I think of more I'll add in
  15. Cheaters.... What is our responsibility?

    I agree with the PPs about not worrying about the cheaters. IF they manage to make it into NS, the kinds of questions they will be faced with (and if your school is smart) the setup for testing won't allow for cheating. Even so, it wouldn't be possib...
