  1. online nursing degree

    krenee replied to Mcqueen040105's topic in General Nursing

    Well our school offered an online program, but it only involved online lectures, not lab! Lab still had to be done on campus each week. And of course clinicals were done at the

  2. online nursing degree

    krenee replied to Mcqueen040105's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, check locally. Our local community college does offer an online nursing program - but you would still have to go to the school for lab once a week and you would have to be local to do your...

  3. Exuse me while I gloat...just a little

    krenee replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely not gloating, congratulations!!!! I am very happy for you and I hope you love your new job!

  4. did i screw my self out of this job?

    krenee replied to erin01's topic in General Nursing

    I think if they wouldn't consider you they wouldn't have agreed to the interview. So I'd say your chances are just fine. Good

  5. Any Good Books to Read Before Nursing School?

    krenee replied to fadedstars34's topic in General Students

    I read a book, I think it was called "How to Survive Nursing School (and maybe even love it)" or something along those lines. You can google it and I'm sure you will find it. Good

  6. Studying for the final!

    krenee posted a topic in General Students

    So in three days, I take my last final and I'm finished with nursing school . However, all I feel like doing at this moment is eating junk food . I'm sick of studying and feeling so burned out! But I...

  7. INOVA nurse recruiter (need contact info)

    krenee replied to AnnaC's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Potomac would be convenient for you but I don't know if they're hiring new grads. I have the info for the nurse recruitor there if you're

  8. Nursing concentration: ER

    krenee replied to Narges's topic in Emergency

    This is probably not helpful, but weren't you given some instruction on that? I never heard of being asked to write a paper where you aren't told what should be included! It's usually part of the...

  9. Has anyone here ever taken an anatomy class online?

    krenee replied to emily_ganshert's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure every program is different - I took one that was online & had a "weekend lab" where we went for one weekend (all day Saturday, all day Sunday). Otherwise, there were just exams that we...

  10. Preceptorship not going well

    krenee posted a topic in General Students

    I am SO upset! If you had asked me yesterday I would have said everything was fine . . . my preceptor is, honestly, hard to read. I couldn't say if she liked me or not, but I thought we were getting...

  11. What's one thing you want your preceptor/teacher to know?

    krenee replied to lilla_fjaril's topic in General Students

    They need to set the tone, they need to lead. They shouldn't expect us to go in knowing what we need to learn - that's why we're there, because we *don't* know. Tell us what the expectations are. We...

  12. Physician Assistants questions

    krenee replied to WKredz5's topic in General Nursing

    Sure, the salary difference is big between an RN and a PA. Like I said, the PA has a lot more schooling. You can also consider becoming an NP, which is a nurse, but also has a lot more...

  13. Physician Assistants questions

    krenee replied to WKredz5's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know a ton about it - but it's closer to being a Nurse Practitioner than an RN. It's a Master's degree program possibly with some additional training, not sure . . . but you can get an RN...

  14. NOVA-Medical campus?

    krenee replied to mscgirl09's topic in Virginia Nursing

    That's a good point - I recommend taking all the co-reqs you can before starting the nursing program. Especially if you're going to have to work while you're in nursing school. You have to put in...

  15. Having a hard time...

    krenee replied to O2BNRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a nurse yet (although I graduate in less than 6 weeks) and I have seen things that are devastating to the people involved (the patient and their families). There is a weird "detachment" that...

  16. NVCC-NUR Enrollment question

    krenee replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

    First year we had lecture on Mondays, second year it is Thursdays. Again, everything is subject to change, and I know they are changing many things. I am a traditional student who waited until the...

  17. How are things with your home life while in school?

    krenee replied to j_audrey's topic in General Students

    I think if your husband is worried you will leave him because you can support yourself, you have bigger issues. I can't recommend counseling strongly enough! If he won't go, go without him. I am...

  18. The Case Against Breastfeeding

    krenee replied to EffJay's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, I agree with the above poster (whose username I don't wish to attempt to reproduce!). As a medical professional, the point is that breastfeeding IS best. Teaching new moms that is not wrong,...

  19. Question to those getting Associates in Nursing

    krenee replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

    I agree with that - it depends on so many things but I have been lucky enough to NOT have to work while in NS and I think that makes a huge difference. Also my kids are school age. I think if you...

  20. What should I know?

    krenee posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I am starting a preceptorship in the NICU in 2 days . . . I am going to graduate in 9 weeks, and I am hoping to work in the NICU, in this hospital, so I want to make a good impression! I was...

  21. Question to those getting Associates in Nursing

    krenee replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

    Well, if you have a nanny I don't see what the problem would be . . . I have three kids about the ages of yours and no nanny (or any other kind of "help") and I have done very well & will graduate...

  22. Do you think removing an NG tube is "killing someone"?

    krenee replied to krenee's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you - that's exactly how it was! I was just thinking, cool, I can remove the NG tube, and I would have if the nurse hadn't wanted to do it herself . . . then I started thinking afterwards about...

  23. Starting out in an area you aren't interested in

    krenee replied to krenee's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I am the OP, and thank you all for your many responses! I really didn't mean to sound so narrow-minded or that I'm not open to learning other things. It's just been an interesting process . . ....

  24. Starting out in an area you aren't interested in

    krenee posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just wondering if others have had this type of experience. I really want to be a nursery resource nurse - well I'm not sure if that's what it's called in all hospitals, but the nurse who goes to the...

  25. Starting out in an area you aren't interested in

    krenee replied to krenee's topic in General Nursing

    I am sure the position exists in the hospital where I did my OB rotation . . . I suppose it may *not* exist in every hospital. You have some good points. I am not worried about job security overall,...
