1. Nursing school with a GED.

   PediRN2B2006 replied to desireef's topic in General Nursing

   Go for it! A GED will not stand in your way at all. I have a GED, started at the local community college, got accepted to a very competitive BSN program, was asked to join Sigma Theta Tau, and graduated Magna Cum Laude.

2. What Constitutes a Criminal Background??

   PediRN2B2006 replied to Katydidit34's topic in Texas

   I don't think that will be a problem at all with you finding a ob. However, I would submit a declatory order NOW to the BNE, so that you can get all cleared with them. If you wait for them to find it, you may experience a big delay in being cleared t...

3. Preparing for TWU nursing school

   PediRN2B2006 replied to goliath738's topic in Texas

   Congratulations! I am a Senior II (only 7 weeks until graduation - whewww!!) at TWU. My advice is to get an NCLEX review book and a HESI review guide. Nursing school tests are like no tests you have ever taken before and you will need lots of practic...

4. UT Southwestern (St.Paul)

   PediRN2B2006 posted a topic in Texas

   Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of St. Paul Hospital in Dallas? They are under the UT Southwestern umbrella. I am considering doing a new grad internship there.

5. TWU question

   PediRN2B2006 replied to futurenurse85's topic in Texas

   You can take both your women's studies and multicultural while you are in the upper division nursing program. I took my multicultural the summer before Junior I and my womens studies online the summer after Junior II. Unfortunately, TWU is about the ...

6. Advice for New BSN Student Going to First Clinical?

   PediRN2B2006 replied to wanna-be-nurse's topic in General Students

   Expect the unexpected. No matter how prepared you are, something will throw you for a loop. That's ok, just all a part of the learning experience and you just start going with the flow after a while. Best of luck! I was just as nervous as you. Now, o...

7. oncology nursing and pregnancy

   PediRN2B2006 posted a topic in Oncology

   I only have one more semester in nursing school and am very interested in going into pediatric hem/onc. However, I would like to have another baby in the next few years. Should I wait until I am done with childbearing, or is it safe to go into now?

8. RN's vs. Students @ clinicals

   PediRN2B2006 replied to NJNursing's topic in General Students

   "That which doesn't kill us makes us stronger." I have had days in clinical in which I wish the floor would open up and swallow me because the nurses treated us so bad. However, I always remind myself that these nurses are often overworked and overwh...

9. Psych test! I could flunk the whole semester!

   PediRN2B2006 replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in General Students

   I know how you feel. I am usually an A or very high B student. Our final exam was awful. The average grade was 68! Luckily they curved and gave us some points. I ended up barely making a B! I was never so nervous in my life awaiting for grades to be ...

10. 8-4:30 Job/5:30 to 11 Nursing Prog:Doable?:3Fulltime Employed/Evening ADN Program

    PediRN2B2006 replied to rainswhisper,RN's topic in General Students

    Just keep in mind that nursing school is a whole different ball game. I am going into my last semester in a BSN program and I look back on those days of taking A&P and micro and miss them. It takes me twice as long to study for nursing classes as...

11. MA saying she's "the same as an RN"

    PediRN2B2006 replied to RedSox33RN's topic in General Students

    I am about to start my last semester in a BSN program. I worked as a MA for almost seven years. Trust me, there is no comparison! I knew a lot about obstetrics and gynecology only because this is the type of office I worked in. I completed a 10 month...

12. Im 32-should I have recieved mmr vaccination

    PediRN2B2006 replied to Krissyone's topic in General Students

    The same thing happened to me. I did not have my immunization records. I had no insurance at the time and the titers were pretty expensive. I was advised by student health services just to get another MMR, because it would not hurt. It cost me $10 at...

13. Another semester down...4 more to go. What about you?

    PediRN2B2006 replied to SoulShine75's topic in General Students

    Yes, me too! Only 5 months and 5 days until graduation! But, who's counting!:wink2:

14. The Inconsistencies Are Driving Me Insane !!!

    PediRN2B2006 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    Oh, I soooo understand what you are saying. In my BSN program, they go in detail about a disease/ condition so well that we feel we can diagnose better than most physicians. Then, they have a few little blurbs about nursing care at the end. And the ...

15. How can nursing education be improved?

    PediRN2B2006 posted a topic in General Students

    As a nursing student in my next to last semester in school, I feel ill prepared for the career that lies ahead of me. It seems to me that my school cares much more about keeping a high NCLEX pass rate than it does in producing capable and caring nurs...
