1. For RN Students working as CNA's!!

   QuestGAV replied to baldee's topic in General Nursing

   That's how it was for me. At least in CT, if you've completed and passed your first nursing clinical and are still enrolled you are eligible to work as a CNA.

2. The most horrible things instuctor's say...

   QuestGAV replied to CyndieRN2007's topic in New Nurse

   It's one thing to hold students accountable for their actions. It's another thing entirely to do so in a destructive way. In most of these stories, it seems like whatever message the instructor was trying to send was lost because the student fixated ...

3. Working full time and school

   QuestGAV replied to KatieM123's topic in General Students

   It'll be a significant load, no doubt, but it's doable if you're committed to it. You've obviously gone through a significant amount of schooling already so you know how much time you're going to have to spend studying & writing. It's the clinica...

4. Working full time and school

   QuestGAV replied to KatieM123's topic in General Students

   Do the programs you're looking at offer a part-time option? It would take longer to get your RN degree but it may be more practical if you want to keep that work schedule.

5. I have trouble admitting that I will be a nurse

   QuestGAV replied to flyingfish2u's topic in Male Students

   I'm proud that I'm going to be a nurse. I constantly get experienced nurses, teachers, and patients telling me that more men in nursing is a great thing. I think you have to know and be confident that what you're doing is intensely challenging on bot...

6. Do men use RN degree to get to bigger places?

   QuestGAV replied to npwannab's topic in Men

   I'm really looking forward to being a nurse, but I do plan on starting a nurse practitioner program in the not-too-distant-future. I'll still be a nurse though, it'd take a lobotomy to get that out of me!

7. bad ending of second night on my own, advice needed

   QuestGAV replied to hollyberry678's topic in New Nurse

   It sounds like you're starting off on a tough floor. There are quite a few things you're going to need to adjust to. That will take time, you can't expect it to happen all at once. Colleagues sometimes (always?) forget that they were new too once and...

8. quit after last 8th week of orientation. do i have to add this 2 my resume?

   QuestGAV replied to lilmaxine02's topic in General Nursing

   I'm far from an expert, but I think you also have to consider what leaving a two month blank period between the granting of your license and your interview with X-hospital looks like to them, that can raise more difficult questions and make you look ...

9. MORPHINE and Dying Patients

   QuestGAV replied to constantlylearning's topic in General Nursing

   One of the great experiences I have had as a student nurse is working with a hospice home care unit for my community nursing rotation. This amazing group of professionals (including nurses, social workers, spiritual counselors, and expressive arts th...

10. What's your story? Why did you take up nursing?

    QuestGAV replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'll use this post to introduce myself to this gigantic community. I had been going to a good private school studying computer science when I came to the realization that while the profession was challenging, it wasn't particularly interestin...
