  1. Failed... Want to transfer to a new school. Please Help!

    SummerGarden replied to Butterfly83's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Experience is the best teacher not books. Try getting a job at the hospital or a facility that works with patients. I have experience working for two facilities before entering nursing school and so...

    SummerGarden replied to italianrn07's topic in General Nursing

    SummerGarden replied to kane77's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Yes! Plus, networking. Good

  4. MBA/MHA degree

    SummerGarden replied to kane77's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Are these people hiring managers that are willing to take you without experience? Otherwise, don't believe the HYPE! Advanced degrees mean nothing without work experience. MBAs start at the bottom...

  5. Stop The Title Madness

    SummerGarden replied to INFIDEL's topic in General Nursing

    No, you won't because it is not correct. The ADN is replaced by the BSN, which is then replaced by the MSN. Thus once you have the MSN you are only Katie MSN, RN, ACNP. The only time people list AS...

  6. Summer Job

    SummerGarden replied to Angela09studnurse's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I work two jobs in the summer to include being a Nurse Extern full-time. If you cannot be a Nurse extern, try becoming a CNA at the local hospital. Whatever you do, don't spend the summer without...

  7. How Much in Student Loans Do YOU Have?

    SummerGarden replied to Brookes1129's topic in General Students

  8. Whats been the hardest/easiest nursing course for you?

    SummerGarden replied to moncj66's topic in General Students

  9. Does your facility acknowledge "National Nurses Week?"

    SummerGarden replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yes. My hospital is announcing it over the intercom all week several times each day. They also gave out free snacks and massages earlier in the week. On the other hand, no one knew that May 8 was...

  10. Do You Have To Work Med-surg??

    SummerGarden replied to nursingisforme's topic in General Nursing

  12. is this nursing to you?

    SummerGarden replied to RNFROMTHEHILL's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it is NURSING! Being an MDS coordinator while still retaining the title "Nurse" is similar to an Engineer who no longer designs bridges or works on the construction site but acts as a consultant...

  13. Im messy person,will I be not so good nurse?

    SummerGarden replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    Having a messy car or house (assuming there are not critters living in the mess) may not be too bad, but that is totally different then being unorganized while performing the duties of a nurse. I...

  14. Starting over in nursing

    SummerGarden replied to jennah's topic in General Nursing

  18. How many people who start NS finish?

    SummerGarden replied to BillyMan's topic in General Students

    OP, when you see stats on here in general they are only for Nursing School. MORE people drop from pre-reqs and co-reqs... but it is hard to get stats. Nursing Schools do not compile or follow stats...

  19. I seem to know less the most

    SummerGarden replied to Javeed's topic in General Students

  21. What will you contribute to your nursing school?

    SummerGarden replied to CNAinNeb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    op: i agree with the above poster, not many get through nursing school without affecting those around them so this is a good question to ask soon to be student nurses. i personally work two jobs (pt...

  22. L and D Job Concerns

    SummerGarden replied to zahryia's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oddly, the things most people complain about are the reasons why I love L&D except the part of not eating until I am about to pass out (it almost happened today)!!! Oh, and some of the beds can...

    SummerGarden replied to frankyonc's topic in General Nursing

    I have some stupid chemo questions too... are you referring to a VAD that is peripheral too? Or no? Can a VAD be peripheral? I have not started my Med-Surg II rotation yet.
