   jead1 replied to achurley's topic in General Students

   I'm a senior in nursing school who could really use some help so I've decided to apply for scholarships. I never apply because all the scholarships available at my nursing school are GPA specific. You have to have an minimum GPA of 3.0 and I don't. I...

   jead1 replied to sirI's topic in Neurological

   I know that this post is years old (6 years to be exact) which is why I'm attempting to "revive" it if you will. I am a senior in nursing school and I have no idea what my "niche" is. I don't know what specialty I want to do. So far in nursing school...

8. Nurses who work on the stroke unit

   jead1 replied to jead1's topic in Rehabilitation

   Is it hard work due to the high level of PHYSICAL assistance that the patients require? I really don't mind assisting people at all. My uncle had a stroke and when he was in rehab, he had some amazing nurses and he also had some very lazy and uncerta...

    jead1 posted a topic in Rehabilitation

    Is stroke nursing considered critical care? I am considering my options for summer jobs and I think I want to work on the stroke unit. However, I don't want to work critical care. When I say critical care, I mean atmospheres/pressure like the ICU, CC...

    jead1 replied to springybaybee's topic in Cardiac

    Hmm, I understand. Thanks for the clarification. Do you think a "women's surgical unit" would be fast paced? Is that critical or acute care?

    jead1 replied to springybaybee's topic in Cardiac

    I'm sure I'll find my niche. I just don't work well under really fast paced environments. I get nervous. When you say mother/baby you mean labor and delivery right?

15. switching into PCU

    jead1 replied to springybaybee's topic in Cardiac
