3. University of Wisconsin- Madison for RN to BSN??

   rafv replied to lyndseym's topic in General Students

   I have heard great things about UW Madison and contacted admissions for information. I was told that the online RN to BSN program is only for residents of Wisconsin (I'm in Illinois).... Looking for a program, too. Any suggestions are welcome! Than...

5. T minus 39 days til nursing school starts!!!!

   rafv replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

   I wish that we did not have summers off. Gives me time to realize how much I hate nursing school. I don't hate the career choice; just the school aspect. One more semester and then on to nclex. Cannot wait!

6. Phlebotomy Class Worth It?

   rafv replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

   Absolutely boosts confidence, though, to have the phlebotomy experience. I say go for it! How can extra knowledge and experience hurt? Good luck!

7. Starting Nursing classes in the Fall...

   rafv replied to doxielover304's topic in General Students

   1) Cardiology: tests were completely unrelated to the lecture content, in my opinion. Content itself was good. 2) I admit to being a slacker when it comes to studying. I pay attention in class, review the night before for maybe 30 minutes, and that ...

8. Care plan help. Vomiting

   rafv replied to hawksrn2014's topic in Student Assist

   Just because he was NPO does not mean he wouldn't be getting fluids.... Good luck to you. I absolutely hate care plans!

9. Any "tools" you love?

   rafv replied to rafv's topic in General Students

   I can certainly see how that's true! The rotations I thought I'd love (OB/peds), I absolutely did not enjoy. Liked med surg but am loving cadiac so far. We'll see.... Still have oncology and neuro & psych to do.... :)

10. Reconstitution math

    rafv replied to Jessiey416's topic in General Students

    Haven't done reconstitution yet, either, but wouldn't it be 500mg/8ml = 62.5mg/ml? Then for 100mg, divide by 62.5mg/ml and get 1.6ml? Did this without a calculator in front of me and without having done it yet in class, but seems reasonable, no? C...

12. Any "tools" you love?

    rafv replied to rafv's topic in General Students

    Dah doh, how do you like ccu? How long were you in med surg? Which do you like better? I know, off on a tangent... Sorry.

13. Nursing school not for me?

    rafv replied to Mcriss8's topic in General Students

    Hi there! I would estimate that at least 85% of my entire class has at one time or another doubted his or her decision. A friend of mine and I debate returning at the start of each semester! Into semester three of four now, and that hasn't changed...

14. Volunteering Job problems. I would really like some advice.

    rafv replied to futuresctRN's topic in General Students

    I am so sorry for you! While I have not been in your position, I can most definitely say your experience is not what it is supposed to be. I would be very candid with the coordinator, and I would make sure to communicate clearly your expectations a...

15. Class of 2013 stand up:-)

    rafv replied to BBRANRN2013's topic in General Students

    December 13, 2013. I actually like school (second career, so had been out of school for some time before returning). I think I'll miss it (well, not all of it!). Graduation will be here before we know it!
