  1. To be completely honest you will not find out if you are 'cut out' for nursing until you have graduated and are working on the floor! However you have seen a glimpse of nursing with your CNA experience and seem to have enjoyed it. I would encourage y...
  2. online rn to bsn chamberlain college

    Thanks seasoned....I'm finished :) Robbind I feel that all of the coursework was very straightforward. Each class uses a grading rubric that is easy to follow. There were many weeks when all I did was make two substantial postings and I got full cred...
  3. maybe I wasn't being nice.....

    medsurg nurses at my facility are not required to have ACLS certification! BLS yes, but the advanced stuff is done by the code team 99% of the time at my hospital (even though I am a medsurg nurse that is ACLS certified). Also rapid response would no...
  4. 2 job offers... now what???

  5. online rn to bsn chamberlain college

    I have less than a month until I complete my BSN with Chamberlain and it has been a great experience! I would suggest this option to any of my RN friends. For me the money was a huge concern...as you mentioned seasoned, 15000 is alot and without any ...
  6. opinion about nsu shreveport vs panola in carthage...

    hmm...I haven't really heard anything about the shreveport/bossier hospitals giving preference to NSU grads....I would really want to speak with the specific hospitals before I factor that into which school I attended! I will say that my graduating ...
  7. no regular schedule

    Well I guess i'm not the only one with a lousy schedule! The schedules are posted for a month (new schedule is only put up 1-2 days before it starts!) I really dislike this current schedule..I work 8hr night shifts 5 days a week and somehow I have ma...
  8. There is not really a place to work that is 'best'...although I would strongly suggest you start looking at your local colleges that offer programs (also don't forget to go to the state board of nursing to see what that schools pass rate is..you don'...
  9. Hi Jahost, I think it is great to ask questions to get a better idea of whether or not this field is a good fit for you! My biggest suggestion would be to get your CNA license and work a few hours a week, or shadowing a nurse for a day. Although bein...
  10. Where do you put your STUFF

    I try to stay organized (not always successful:) I started out carrying EVERYTHING know to nurses in my pockets :) but now I have come up with a fairly good system for my pockets. first of all I have a badge that clips on with a retractable string. i...
  11. Please use some common sense on Facebook.

    I don't know anyone personally, although the hospital i work at sent out an e-mail stating we should not log into our facebook accounts at work....or comment on anything regarding work. Apparently at one of our sister hospitals a nurse was fired for ...
  12. First few weeks/month as a new grad - check in

  13. Nursing student and new mom considering the Air Force

    Ok, so I don't really have the answers to all your questions....but I am also considering joining the air force (after my rn-bsn is completed). If I joined I would be facing similar situations since I plan on starting a family in the next few years. ...
  14. Hheeeelllpp! Tryin to decide when to take the nclex

    I took my NCLEX at 2p, it works better for me since my mind doesn't wake up until at least 10a! I guess you need decide when you are most focused and alert...and honestly a week will probably not matter much if you have already been studying (could e...
  15. Questions about math for meds...

    Took the NCLEX yesterday...I only had one question but it told me not to enter the units and it also told me exactly where to round to (two decimals was what I got). Bet they are all pretty straightforward like that. Hope that helps some.
