1. Walmart cashiers wearing gloves?

   oops I bradyed again replied to Misstika's topic in Lounge

   I used to work retail and wished I had gloves! Money is filthy and people (especially some who don't seem to have great hygiene) will pull it out from unmentionable places. People would carry the dressing room number cards in their mouths before hand...

2. Outrageous Complaints

   oops I bradyed again replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Nursing

   Patient wanted to know if we had a hot tub they could use. Patient asked if I would go to a specific fast food restaurant and get a milkshake for them. (There is no fast food remotely near our hospital.) Patient was upset that I wouldn't feed them be...

3. Bathing and Showering Systems in Hospitals

   oops I bradyed again replied to Naser001's topic in General Nursing

   We don't have showers or bathrooms in our ICUs either. CHG or regular bed baths for everyone.

4. Critical thinking

   oops I bradyed again replied to kevinm23's topic in Student Assist

   Critical thinking is something you will continue to develop even after graduating from nursing school. How far along are you in your program? You can use the nursing process to help you think through issues. Each school teaches this differently, but ...

5. It will take me 7 years just for a bsn.

   oops I bradyed again replied to futurernmaybe's topic in General Students

   I don't think there is anything wrong with taking your time if that's your only option or suits your needs best! It took me about 3 years to finish my prereqs because I only took 1-2 classes every term in order to be able to afford it, maintain a 4.0...

6. Timetable for residency hiring

   oops I bradyed again replied to llg's topic in Job Hunt

   In my area it seems that most applications open in April/May, interviews and hiring decision take place in June/July, and new grads start their residencies in August.

7. Linfield Good Samaritan School of Nursing Review

   oops I bradyed again replied to guest1071140's topic in General Students

   I'm familiar with nursing programs in the Portland area and that's why I commented...so students/applicants won't expect any other program to be drastically different, better, or worse! Again, the information you and your classmates were unaware of b...

8. How long it takes to get License number?

   oops I bradyed again replied to Godscreature, LPN's topic in NCLEX

   I live in another state, but I received my license number 3 days after taking the NCLEX. You can always contact the BON to get an update.

9. Linfield Good Samaritan School of Nursing Review

   oops I bradyed again replied to guest1071140's topic in General Students

   With the exception of the dropout rate, it sounds like a typical nursing program.

10. Textbooks

    oops I bradyed again replied to chichimel's topic in Pre-Nursing

    See if you can get in touch with any students who are getting ready to graduate or recently graduated. I know in my program many students or new grads were willing to sell their books super cheap or even give them away.

11. drug testing for nursing school

    oops I bradyed again replied to Arizona2bnurse1's topic in Pre-Nursing

    We were drug tested as part of the admissions process before the first semester even started. It takes so much dedication and hard work to, not only get into nursing school, but also get through it. Why risk it all!?

12. Wishing to finish my prerequisites online

    oops I bradyed again replied to Natsmom2018's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I've never come across an accredited online A&P course and wouldn't recommend it anyway. Even if you excel academically, I just think A&P is one of those classes where it's important to get the full hands-on experience. How would you complete...

13. How far in advance do you get your class/clinical schedule?

    oops I bradyed again replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Students

    I don't remember exactly how long we had to wait for our clinical schedule each semester, but I do remember it was usually pretty short notice. Many of my classmates complained about not being able to plan work schedules or child care in advance.

14. Can med surg nurse go into ICU?

    oops I bradyed again replied to Guest1030824's topic in Critical

    I think it all depends on your hospital and area. Where I work, you can transition to the CVICU with only med surg experience, although I think PCU definitely helps! Nurses are trained on both days and nights during their orientation, but will ultima...

15. Operating Room RN

    oops I bradyed again replied to brilaneb's topic in Operating Room

    Do any hospitals in your area offer nurse internships for the OR? In my area that seems to be one of the only ways to get into the OR, unless you did your practicum in the OR as a student.
