  1. What Does A Graduate Nurse Do?

    Future-NurseRedHeart posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hello, I am about to graduate nursing school. I'm beginning transitions next week, and I applied for an GN/RN position on the same floor I'm doing my transitions. I don't plan on taking my NCLEX...

  2. What Does A Graduate Nurse Do?

    Future-NurseRedHeart replied to Future-NurseRedHeart's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just don't understand the responsibilities, and I can work as a GN as long as I pass my NCLEX within a year... And I do not plan on waiting that

  3. What Does A Graduate Nurse Do?

    Future-NurseRedHeart replied to Future-NurseRedHeart's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, I am aware that a GN doesn't have their license. I was just asking what their job duties are compared to an RN. And I am waiting a bit to take my NCLEX because I'm in an accelerated program,...

    Future-NurseRedHeart replied to Egonza57's topic in General Students

    Future-NurseRedHeart posted a topic in General Students

  6. Not Studying & Passing NS

    Future-NurseRedHeart posted a topic in General Students

    Hi, everyone. I'm almost done with my 1st semester, I joined my classmates on an FB group and I realized everyone studies so much more than me. They have a bunch of note cards, study 5 hours a day,...

    Future-NurseRedHeart replied to Future-NurseRedHeart's topic in General Students

  9. Not Studying & Passing NS

    Future-NurseRedHeart replied to Future-NurseRedHeart's topic in General Students

    I'm in an accelerated program so we're 3 months in doing med administration, NG tubes, foleys, injections, wound care, etc. Being a CNA didn't do much because we finished all of the CNA stuff in a a...

  10. NOC Shift & Your Health

    Future-NurseRedHeart posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, everyone! I'm a NOC shift CNA. I have been doing research on what shift I'd like to do when I finish nursing school, and I think I'd like to keep working overnights, but I have read that it's bad...

    Future-NurseRedHeart posted a topic in General Students

    Hi, everyone. I am in a full time accelerated nursing program (16-month entry level diploma RN) and I also work as a CNA. I find that I'm beginning to lose the motivation to study and put effort into...

  13. Is There EBP Behind Two-Step Blood Pressures?

    Future-NurseRedHeart posted a topic in General Students

    My school has recently changed the way we take blood pressure from the normal, one step method so now we take a two step. If you're unfamiliar with two-step, I know my clinical instructors were,...

  14. Just another "no friends in nursing school" rant

    Future-NurseRedHeart replied to prettywishes's topic in General Students

    I'm in my second month of school as well, and I don't have friends. I have people I work with in clinical and lab but other than that, we barely talk. I don't think I will make friends either, I'm...

  15. Is There EBP Behind Two-Step Blood Pressures?

    Future-NurseRedHeart replied to Future-NurseRedHeart's topic in General Students

    For underinflating, I've always been told that if we hear a sound immediately upon releasing the cuff, we should close the valve pump it again while already inflated rather than completely deflating...

    Future-NurseRedHeart posted a topic in General Students

  17. Young mom of 3 considering CNA

    Future-NurseRedHeart replied to SAHMX3's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    $9-$15 is what I've seen in my job search. Being a CNA is exhausting, no way I could be a CNA and have kids, props to

  18. I hated being a CNA, will this mean I'll hate being a nurse?

    Future-NurseRedHeart replied to TinyLilly's topic in General Nursing

    You might or might not, nurses do some of the work as a CNA but they can do so much more than that. I'll be starting my nursing classes in fall, I'm not much a fan of being a CNA, but I know I'll love...
