1. Does anyone use Marsh for liability coverage?

   heartnurse2be replied to mom2cka's topic in Post Graduate

   I can't agree more - for the higher levels when much of your work would be independent I would clarify exactly the settings for which their coverage is valid. I now have two policies which had to be separate to cover my working time and then my clini...

2. Does anyone use Marsh for liability coverage?

   heartnurse2be replied to mom2cka's topic in Post Graduate

   Our school would only accept Marsh for our ADN program and as I'm getting ready to start online BSN program I called to verify they would cover me the way I wanted, also wondered how they were so cheap so I just asked. Rep told me that they consider ...

3. ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor

   heartnurse2be replied to pipersjo's topic in New Nurse

   I think NCLEX is just a crap-shoot

4. New Grad Shifts Cancelled While in Orientation

   heartnurse2be replied to strengthcouragewisdm's topic in New Nurse

   I would definitely inquire about this, if you were told you wouldn't get called off then you shouldn't get called off. However I do know once on our floor a couple of new grads were put off for a week of two because we lost several nurses at once and...

5. ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor

   heartnurse2be replied to pipersjo's topic in New Nurse

   Perpetual I think you just made my point for me, but in a much more eloquent way - love it!

6. ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor

   heartnurse2be replied to pipersjo's topic in New Nurse

   I took the ATI comprehensive and scored 73% which gave me a 93% chance of passing NCLEX on the first try. Took it in 75 questions and passed. I have to say though that I HATE ATI. Our school paid for all of us to have the 4 day Live Review and I can'...

7. NEED HELP Understanding HEARTWAVES

   heartnurse2be replied to superdad08's topic in General Students

   By heartwaves do you mean interpreting rhythm strips?

8. What is collar length?

   heartnurse2be replied to mommy2three2's topic in General Students

   At our school collar length hair meant the top of the collar, anything below they expected to be put up. I don't think it's something to stress over, just if your hair falls in a questionable area ask your instructor - Mine was a little over my coll...

9. Starting Nursing 1 in 2 weeks and working full time

   heartnurse2be replied to KeithT66's topic in General Students

   IT WILL BE OKAY!!! I went to my school's orientation last year (am now in my second year of ADN program) and the head of the program actually said that students who work have only a 30-some percent chance of passing. Needless to say I went home and c...

10. Best student selection process?

    heartnurse2be replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    While body language may be a large part of communication, it like all other forms, is open to interpretation. I know that even my husband and I can look at a person and jump to two entirely different conclusions - in most cases both of us being wrong...

11. Would you work during nursing school if you didn't have to?

    heartnurse2be replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Now if I might throw my gripe out there from the other side of the coin - I work 70+ hours per week at 2 jobs, more if available - is this my choice? No, of course not, just part of my life at this point. I will be entering my 2nd year of an ADN prog...

12. Externship...not sure if I am making a mistake or not

    heartnurse2be replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    I agree with everyone else here -- smile, make the best of it, and move on. You'll get to be on the action end, you'll get to see why the 'bad' babies get that way - be it premature, drugs, or just bad luck - see the stabilization procedures first ha...

13. Nursing School and Working

    heartnurse2be replied to molse001's topic in General Students

    I responded to another poster with almost the exact same question, but I will post here as well. When I went to orientation for my program (full time days) the director of the program spoke to us and said that the students who worked had only a 37% c...

14. Is it possible to have a part-time job?

    heartnurse2be replied to QUEBEBRAN's topic in General Students

    When I went to my 1st year orientation one of the instructors stood at the podium and said that if any of the students worked they had only a 37% chance of passing - I promptly went home and cried my eyes out. Working for me is not an option, I simp...
