  1. advice on failing a class

    oops I bradyed again replied to SN2432's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure what kind of advice you're looking for. I don't think your instructor was trying to be negative. She was giving you realistic information about your academic standing so you will...

  2. Jack of all trades nurse

    oops I bradyed again replied to al3x117's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely agree with this! It probably depends on the hospital, but where I work the med/surg and ICU units are all very specialized. That's why float pool is so awesome, you get to learn a little...

  3. What would you do

    oops I bradyed again replied to iwannabeanursee's topic in General Students

    Even more concerning is that Haldol has a black box warning and is not approved for use in patients with dementia because there is an increased risk for death. From you what you describe, it sounds...

  4. What would you do

    oops I bradyed again replied to iwannabeanursee's topic in General Students

    Have you talked to anyone about your concerns? Have they given you an explanation on why they think these meds are the best choices for this

  5. Schools with not a lot of prereqs for ABSN

    oops I bradyed again replied to tarahlee's topic in General Students

    To answer the question, as far as I know all the nursing programs in my area require at least A&P, statistics, psych, and microbiology. As PPs have mentioned some of these classes have their own...

  6. Schools with not a lot of prereqs for ABSN

    oops I bradyed again replied to tarahlee's topic in General Students

    YES!! This is exactly what I did before taking my pre-reqs. I am really kind of shocked at the number of adults who come to this forum and expect strangers to do their preparation and research for...

  7. Jack of all trades nurse

    oops I bradyed again replied to al3x117's topic in General Nursing

    There's probably not one position where you will get to see and do everything, but I think float pool and the ED will give you the most variety! Our medicine unit also gets a good mixture of diagnoses...

  8. Received all C's in science pre requisites

    oops I bradyed again replied to Cedes21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It probably depends on how competitive it is to get into nursing programs in your area. You should talk to an advisor at your school and see what they think. Where I live, the nursing programs are...

  9. What would you do

    oops I bradyed again replied to iwannabeanursee's topic in General Students

    No, I would not give any elderly patient a benzo for insomnia. Xanax is on the Beers list and increases falls in older adults. Melatonin and trazadone are more appropriate medications to help older...

  10. ADN prereqs

    oops I bradyed again replied to bbentley0717's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As far as I know, there are no shortened or accelerated ADN programs. If you contact advisors from schools in your area they should have a better idea of what's available where you

  11. Should I work as a SNT before applying for a nurse extern position this summer?

    oops I bradyed again replied to ninavous's topic in General Students

    If you really want the externship position I think you should try and become an SNT. This will give them the opportunity to see your work ethic, get to know you, and decide if you are a good fit for...

  12. Is there a relationship between SpO2 or BP and hemoglobin?

    oops I bradyed again replied to nickthenurse2b_'s topic in General Students

    You cannot assume a patient's hemoglobin levels based on their SpO2 reading. SpO2 is specifically measuring how much oxygen hemoglobin are currently carrying. Because hemoglobin can only carry so much...

  13. Online course for Microbiology & Microbiology Lab?

    oops I bradyed again replied to clintrs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took online Microbiology at Lake Superior College. I live nowhere near there, but it was the only online micro class I could find over the summer. You will need access to a microscope and will have...

  14. ICU as New Grad

    oops I bradyed again replied to Cokerbear7's topic in General Students

    The schools' websites should list the minimum GPA requirements, as well as the average GPA of students who have been accepted in the past. If you can't find this information online talk to an advisor...

  15. Question about drug testing at LIU nursing program.

    oops I bradyed again replied to arthur123's topic in School, College Programs

    My program only drug tested us when we were first admitted. We do not have to complete yearly drug tests or tests for each clinical

  16. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    oops I bradyed again replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    You say you are well aware of what you're getting yourself into, but are you really? Have you worked in healthcare before? Many people don't realize just how small the healthcare world really is until...

  17. Can getting one F grade on your gpa ruin your chances into getting into nursing school?

    oops I bradyed again replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Students

    When I applied to nursing school I had 2 Fs on my transcript from about 5 years earlier. On one of my nursing school applications I was able to explain why I received Fs, what I learned from it, and...

  18. Failing A&P 2

    oops I bradyed again replied to Huck618's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CNA experience is valuable, but it does not mean you are automatically capable of being a nurse. The roles may seem very similar, however nursing requires much more critical thinking, attention,...

  19. Is there another career path that I could take?

    oops I bradyed again replied to briannad's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you mean you don't think you can handle the bedside part of nursing school, or nursing school in general? If you mean in general, just know that any program for a healthcare profession (especially...

  20. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    oops I bradyed again replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    Having completed an EMT, CNA, and (almost) BSN program, as well as working in a variety of healthcare settings, I am unaware of anyone who has even tried to challenge the vaccine requirements. My...

  21. Electrolytes--keeping abnormalities straight

    oops I bradyed again replied to LipStickFigure's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Simply memorizing the signs and symptoms of these electrolyte imbalances will not get you very far. You need to understand why the imbalances are causing the signs and symptoms, and in order to do...

  22. Which Nursing School should I look at?

    oops I bradyed again replied to nrussell34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I were you I would cast a wide net (apply to all the schools you can) and tough out city life for a few years if you have to. I think by limiting yourself to colleges that are only in rural areas...

  23. Which Nursing School should I look at?

    oops I bradyed again replied to nrussell34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you don't mind me asking, why aren't you interested in any schools in the Portland

  24. Any CNA's out there?

    oops I bradyed again replied to Jtingle44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my area, most people take CNA 1 at the community college and it lasts 3 months. 5 months sounds a little long to me, but maybe that's the norm for where you live. Usually you are required to have a...

  25. Any CNA's out there?

    oops I bradyed again replied to Jtingle44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My CNA 1 class was 1 month and my CNA 2 class was 1 week. They were accelerated classes so I had to attend about 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and could not miss any class or clinical time. Yes, I...
