1. Poor RN professional conduct

   ATBStudent replied to Omgseriously's topic in NICU

   Tattling sounds pretty high school to me. How about "I appreciate you letting me in on the secret, but we've had this no eating and drinking rule for years and I don't think that it is appropriate to break that rule given the risk to patient safety....

2. Poor RN professional conduct

   ATBStudent replied to Omgseriously's topic in NICU

   This is silly. You've essentially created a divide in your unit. Experienced nurses vs new grads. There is literally nothing good that can come of this. The new grads will feel you are unapproachable, they won't ask questions, and then you'll get mad...

3. [POLL] is it a reason to NOT pursue nursing anymore?

   ATBStudent replied to ionelaitou's topic in General Students

   This is what I'm thinking. It would be a disservice to teach you to be a nurse in English when your career will require you to be a nurse in Korean. What I mean by this is that there is a large gap in vocabulary between medical personnel (like nurses...

4. Future RN wanting to be an Anesthesiologist

   ATBStudent replied to Jaquada's topic in Career Support

   Go to medical school if you want to be a doctor. Your nursing school pre-reqs will not be the same as your med school pre-reqs and by the time you start clinicals, you won't have time to finish everything you need for the MCAT. Doctors and nurses hav...

5. Nursing Program Question

   ATBStudent replied to BK21's topic in Pre-Nursing

   A BSN degree is 2 years of prerequisites and general education and 2 years in a nursing program. At my school, you started as a "pre-nursing" major and then in your sophomore year you applied for the nursing program. From what I've seen, none of the ...

6. A simple list of what nurses do on a regular basis.

   ATBStudent replied to RolandWilliamson's topic in Florida

   I have no idea how long it takes to become an LPN. But it sounds like you're gonna do pre reqs. LPN. The 2 years to be an RN. Then 1-3 years to go RN-BSN, 2+ years of critical care experience, 3 years of intense full time CRNA school and then 4 years...

7. How do CRNAs get treated by MDAs ?

   ATBStudent replied to april_tomorrow's topic in CRNA

   My Mom LOVES being a CRNA. She gets along fine with the Anesthesiologists and many of the MDs in the hospital request her specifically for their cases. I think you just came across a wonky thread - any intelligent MD understands the value of a good ...

8. Lost and confused. Would appreciate any advice!

   ATBStudent replied to e1234's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I was a lot like you. Top 7% in my high school and then just...tanked in college (as a bio major). Bad grades, depression...all of it. I will admit that the lowest my GPA ever got was 2.8 BUT some of those bad grades were nursing pre-reqs so...it was...

9. Just a rant rn-bsn

   ATBStudent replied to ChipNurse's topic in ADN/BSN

   I haven't even started my program yet and just to accept my seat (no tuition involved) is $700 dollars. Plus $50 for sending my transcripts and $65 to apply.... Add in the cost of books for my first semester $1000 and all the miscellaneous tasks to ...

10. Question About Change to DNP

    ATBStudent replied to JordanLeigh's topic in General Nursing

    From what I've seen. MSN and DNP programs require a BSN...maybe there's a MSN bridge since you have a prior degree...but DNP you will definitely need a BSN...along with several years of critical care experience...and most hospitals want BSNs for thos...

11. GPA to become a nurse?

    ATBStudent replied to Chabibeh's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I failed a class once and had an adviser tell me to change my major "biology" and that there was no way I could ever get into medical school whether it be nursing, respiratory therapy ect. So I told HIM that it was his job to build students up and te...

12. Feeling like a real idiot

    ATBStudent replied to 4mykids04's topic in NCLEX

    Maybe I'm off base. But your username is "4mykids" ... What are you teaching them by just...giving up. You did the hard part. You got through school...and now you're just going to quit...without even knowing what your results are? I'm sorry. I know ...

13. Nursing to Doctor

    ATBStudent replied to pre-unsure's topic in Career Support

    I think you're digging a bigger hole with that one. There are 7 nurses in my family and I guarantee you they will say they do make the biggest impact. They advocate, medicate, get meals, make them comfortable. Unless you're a surgeon, a Doctors impac...

14. Prescriptions and Drug Testing

    A few months

15. Prescriptions and Drug Testing

    ATBStudent posted a topic in General Students

    So I will be starting nursing school Fall 2014 and one of the requirements for the program is a drug and background test. A while back my physician thought that I may have a mild case of ADHD and prescribed Vyvanse to see if it would help. It didn't...
