1. What did you think Nursing was About?

   BearWayne replied to Justhere's topic in General Nursing

   That's what I thought nursing was about. I'm a little older than SharonH and I wonder if it has something to do with how nurses were portrayed in the media when we were kids.... I sure got straightened out my first semester of nursing school.... Nurs...

2. Kaplan Qbank: Worth it?

   BearWayne replied to resilientnurse's topic in NCLEX

   I have the Saunders book & CD, access to the NCSBN website that my school purchased for me, and the Kaplan on-line course that I purchased myself. I feel that the difficulty of the Saunders questions is not at the appropriate level (too easy). Th...

   Hi Sunnydaydream! Congratulations on graduation and on your new position! I too am a new grad (graduated on 12/12) and I too have accepted a position in a bone marrow transplant unit. I think it's a phenomenal opportunity and there will be SO much t...

4. KSU students! What do you think of the KSU BSN program?

   BearWayne replied to Mr_D's topic in Georgia

   For the record, it is Kennesaw State University. I will be graduating in Dec. 2007. I am a non-accelerated student, and it is difficult. I did not work, I am a 40-something student preparing for a second career. I did very well grade-wise once I figu...

5. I'm getting a student!

   BearWayne replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

   A couple things--don't give your students the option of saying "no" to doing a procedure--get them in there and have them do it. The other thing, if you have down time, talk about your experiences as a nurse. As a student, I love to hear from experie...

   I am 42 and will be 43 when I graduate. It's never too late to follow your passion! Since you have a Bachelor's degree, there are some schools that offer programs for people who already have a degree. I am at Kennesaw State, and they have an accelle...

7. Panama City??

   BearWayne replied to CJ777's topic in Florida

   Hi PHM, I appreciate your replies...... still somewhat undecided as to what to do because I love PCB so much, and the people there are so friendly. I still think I'll stay in Atlanta & get a couple years experience then decide what to do. I will ...

8. RV's anyone???

   BearWayne replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in Travel

   I am a nursing student, but I have owned a 5th wheel for about 3 years now. Bought it used--it was 10 years old at the time but in great shape. It's not one I would want to live in, but it's great for weekend and week-long getaways. I now know what ...

9. Panama City??

   BearWayne replied to CJ777's topic in Florida

   Hi PHM and Cammie, I am a BSN student in Atlanta and I was planning to move to Panama City after I graduate. But then I saw another posting by PHM about pay rates there and decided that I can't afford to do that. I am familiar enough with Bay County...
