  1. What's In A Name Badge?

    Ive seen it go both ways. Funny enough, no one has told me I'm wrong for my badge saying RN, BSN, OCN (also what I do in emails and official documents). I am proud of my BSN. It means I made it and can rest easy From trying to get bare minimum in the...
  2. I knew I wanted to be in pediatric oncology. It's what got me into nursing school in the first place. I had five pediatric patients in nursing school clinicals and it was the best thing ever. However, once I graduated, I just couldn't get into Peds O...
  3. ADN-BSN Programs

    I got my BSN through WGU. Very challenging, but worth it. However, while WGU does have a MSN, there are no grades attached to courses. It is competencies. So it may hurt your GPA and chances of getting into a competitive FNP program. You can always a...
  4. What is your dream unit?

    I currently work in half of my dream job, lol. Adult oncology. But my complete dream job is Peds Onco at St. Jude's Children's research hospital. However, I would dig any major children's hospital around the country for a Peds Hem/Onco position. slow...
  5. Why don't you just read the chart?

    I ask where the IV is if it's a new patient to me because A: how many times have I seen an IV pulled out??! B: the chart is about 50% incorrect when it comes to IV site, gauge, and orientation. Sorry, but I want accuracy. It's not that hard to tell m...
  6. Now THAT'S a lab result

    BP 287/154. Alive. Diagnosis: stroke pt. And no BP meds in over a year... Pt still trending 180's/110's during NOC shift. Lowest was 160's/100's. Doc didn't want the BP to come down too fast.
  7. Now THAT'S a lab result

    WBC over 221. AML. Leukopheresis the next day, came down to 60. Then D-Dimer went to over 11, and the doctor was like "this is ok. Very sick pt. Continue current tx and chemo." I gave three units of FFP to them too! Incalculable INR - dying breast ca...
  8. Public's lack of knowledge about what nursing actually is

    I'm glad my mom is a nurse, and even though she went to the big University in my school's town, and that's where she got her Bachelor's of Nursing, oh, 30+ years ago, she was 110% okay with me going to the community college and getting my Associates ...
  9. Oncology Nursing Vent

    As someone who desperately wants to work as a Ped Onc Nurse - it's literally my dream. Oncology and children have been my passion since my sister's BFF died from a rare cancer - I understand how you feel in so many ways. I was disheartened when I did...
  10. "Throwing Out" questions on a test

    My teachers do stastitical analysis of every test for both campuses in the program, and do further review of questions as a faculty when the percentage of answering correctly is below a certain percentage - like, 40% as a whole. It doesn't mean we wi...
  11. Unbelievable exam question

    Some teachers don't want to admit they made a faulty test question. I thankfully have had wonderful teachers who know they wrote an off question - even a CLICKER question during the lecture - when half the class starts arguing it, lol. I tend to just...
  12. What is the one thing that turns your stomach?

    I can't do sputum - sometimes not even my OWN - and fecal matter just... isn't cool. Sometimes farts and burps gross me out - probably from experience with my dad *ugh*. I can do just about anything else.
  13. Normal nursing grades..

    When I see a post on facebook from a classmate, or on tumblr, about "I got a B on the test :(" or what not - I kind of raise an eyebrow. People who freak out over a B make me weary, honestly. 4.0 are kind of hard to keep up. And one of my one classma...
  14. What Nursing school are you in? Show your pride!

    Walla Walla CC 2nd year nursing student - ADN program. Just gained my LPN this summer, next up: RN!
  15. I'm going into my 2nd year of a fantastic ADN program, just went through summer school for my LPN. My school uses angel, which is basically an online classroom, which helps supplement and communicate out of school - our lectures and lab and clinical...
