1. RN to MD

   Born 2 B In OB replied to StudentRNTX's topic in General Students

   I'm not sure if you have your degree yet or not; however, if you do or if you're not far from it, stick with the nursing! Medical schools look for diversity - not just in skin color, but in educational backgrounds. All things equal, they would quit...

   Good luck to you! Are you going for the ADN? I am starting nursing school in the Fall too! Fortunately, I already have a degree and ALL my credits will transfer!!! Yahooooo!!! So, I am looking forward to starting the nursing classes right awa...

3. Nursing Assistant - How?

   Born 2 B In OB replied to Born 2 B In OB's topic in Career Support

   Thank you so much for your replies! I checked with a local hospital and was offered to be trained as a CNA! Unfortunately, the shift was too difficult to manage at this point in my life so I declined the position and took a part-time endoscopy posi...

4. Are summer classes worth it?

   Born 2 B In OB replied to teresab_2000's topic in General Nursing

   Go for it! Although I have never taken a summer class, I graduated with a degree in biology (I DO know A&P!) and have many friends that swore by summer classes. Since you've done well in A&PI, then you shouldn't have any trouble with the su...

5. BSN minimum requirement

   Born 2 B In OB replied to Lburns's topic in General Nursing

   I am SO glad I've decided to go into nursing after earning my BS in biology education. Seems that nursing has similar problems as education does! Seriously, I really am glad that I've chosen to go into nursing because I have a "change the world"...

7. Demerol, YUCK!

   Born 2 B In OB replied to kewlnurse's topic in General Nursing

   Another thought on pain management... Think about infants that have surgical procedures done without the use of pain meds (i.e. circumcision, etc.). This is a perfect example of experiencing pain but not remembering it; however, we do know that infa...

9. Swans?

   Born 2 B In OB replied to Born 2 B In OB's topic in General Nursing

   Cute story, Moonshadeau! I'll have to remember that! As for the swan job, I still don't know what it is, but I do know that it is unrelated to Swan-Ganz catheters.

10. Swans?

    Born 2 B In OB replied to Born 2 B In OB's topic in General Nursing

    I still don't know what a "swan" is - besides the beautiful, long-necked bird and I'm definitely sure I'm not going to train for that... I'll let you know what a swan is if/when I find out what it is. Thanks for trying - and the humor.

11. Swans?

    Born 2 B In OB posted a topic in General Nursing

    I plan on going to nursing school in the fall, but trying to get some clinical experience now. I've decided the CNA route may be right for me and interviewed for CNA training at a local hospital. However, the interviewer brought up swan training as...

14. CNA Wanna Be?

    Born 2 B In OB posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm going back to school in the Fall to, hopefully, obtain my BSN... I'm very excited; however, until then, I'd like to get some clinical experience. I've been thinking about the CNA field... So, how does one become a CNA? (I live in Kentucky.) W...

    Born 2 B In OB posted a topic in Career Support

    I am going back to school in the fall to get my BSN... wish me luck! Although I have a degree in biology education, I would like some hospital experience before graduation. Do you have any suggestions as to what kind of work I could do? What a...
