3. Am I wasting my time going for my ADN?

   ARCTX85 replied to ashleylynne's topic in Pre-Nursing

   An established RN friend of mine advised me that I wise in pursuing my BSN because a healthcare system in my current state (Maryland) is having their ADN RNs go back for their BSNs or get let go. Why not go for the projected need, you know? Here's s...

4. Worried about my nursing supplies!?

   ARCTX85 replied to Randi156's topic in General Students

   First of all, congratu-freaking-lations! haha That is just so exciting. Secondly, those people are going to realize sooner or later what is important and that they can't isolate someone for having nice things. That is so petty it's not even funny. Re...

7. Pre reqs for nursing !!! HELP

   ARCTX85 replied to Agreen911's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My first round, I wasn't majoring in nursing either. It was actually criminal justice. That's a shame it's taking you another semester longer though.

   ARCTX85 replied to Hargrove86's topic in Maryland

   Hey there, I have a couple of questions for you- 1) Are you in the BSN program? Or are you RN-BSN? 2) What's the typical cost per semester (provided you're not a campus resident)? I'm trying to get through the rest of my pre-reqs and trying to prepar...

10. Handling rude or dishonest patients

    ARCTX85 replied to wildlaurel's topic in Emergency

    I agree with Nurseclm and MahzieLPN- I'm pretty sure that any other nurse/physician/tech that goes in there will pick up on the pt's behavior. Especially when they work with you all the time and know your quality of work. Furthermore, I understand th...

11. Can you imagine having Spiderman as a patient?

    ARCTX85 replied to Brian's topic in Rock

    Seems like just trying to assess and chart Spiderman could end up leaving you with getting scheduled for a psych-eval. hahaha

13. Using a white (dry erase) board to study

    ARCTX85 replied to IndyElmer's topic in General Students

    Something else that I did for a pharmacology research article, was to take those transparent sheet slip covers, use one for each paper, and then put it all in a binder. It works great to highlight and draw over the top of the paper and then erase lat...

14. Using a white (dry erase) board to study

    ARCTX85 replied to IndyElmer's topic in General Students

    I love using white boards, especially for diagraming different aspects of a topic. It's been really useful for my 12-Lead EKG course in diagraming the hexoaxial plane. There are so many different views of the heart with using EKGs, it only makes sens...
