   Hello All, I'm starting to apply for my first nursing job as an RN and I was wondering what things you would suggest looking for in the job requirements, etc. Thanks!

3. Nursing Grading Scale

   2018nursewi replied to guest517's topic in Pre-Nursing

   This is actually easier than the other programs I'm familiar with. A "C" is 80-84 for us, and we need a C in all courses to continue on. So far in my cohort of 35 students, 13 have failed a semester.

4. Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

   2018nursewi replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   I don't feel that Klone is forcing her opinion down your throat, I just think this is a topic very important to her. I'm getting the feeling you're feeling trapped by the lack of evidence in your favor. I understand that is your opinion on the topi...

   For those of you that work in peds in clinics - could you describe a typical day? Same for those in a hospital. I want to work in pediatrics, but I think the clinic setting would be a better fit for me. Thanks!

9. Med-Surg New Grad

   2018nursewi posted a topic in General Specialties

   I will be graduating in May and am starting to look at jobs. I've heard many people say new grads should start out in med-surg, but I don't know that that is what I want to do. Is it a bad idea for me to start out in OBGYN, where I really want to w...

10. Refusing to change/toilet pts

    2018nursewi replied to ShockMe's topic in General Nursing

    I work as a CNA and currently am in nursing school, and I cannot think of a time at my facility when the nurse asked me to do something (toilet or change a patient) and I felt as though she should do it herself. On my psych unit we have one nurse to...

    Thank you for your input! Is it wrong to be intimidated by med/surg? Its a little scary to imagine myself thrown into it using alllll of my skills (many not performed on things other than the education manikins) right away - even though I know that...
