Looking for any RN programs that take less than 2 years to complete (16,18,20-month etc)

Nurse Magnolia replied to heartheart09's topic in General Students

Check out UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing. It's a diploma program and it's 16 months. It is really difficult, but I love that I get a TON of clinical hours. They also have agreements with many...
What Does A Graduate Nurse Do?

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

I am graduating in April and I've already decided that I am not starting work until I take the NCLEX. I plan to take it right away though but not start work until July after I've spent a little bit...
Transfer Student? Nursing School?

Nurse Magnolia replied to lauren9763's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

Depends on the nursing school. Many, if not most, require you to start in the program as a freshman. Some allow transfers or change of majors - but you should definitely look into the programs you...
Nurses Eat Their Young

Nurse Magnolia replied to Dairian's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

I'm a nursing student and I've encountered one or two grumpy nurses on clinical but I've not seen any bullying (I'm almost done with school). Now, here on AN...that's another
Need strategies for dealing with my kryptonite

Hi all, I am a nursing student who will graduate in April. I am a casual PCT but between nursing school and my job I have yet to experience anything that just grossed me out so that I had to step out....
Dealing with Students in Clinicals: What would you like to see?

Nurse Magnolia replied to bsf312's topic in General Nursing

I appreciate your perspective. I was going in to check on my patient as we are required to do first thing. My patient was a 2 week old infant. When I got yo the door expecting to gown up, the night...
Dealing with Students in Clinicals: What would you like to see?

Nurse Magnolia replied to bsf312's topic in General Nursing

So how would you take it that within the first 5 minutes of me being there a nurse said loudly "I hate students" after I asked her, very nicely, for clarity on an isolation order that was on his...
Dealing with Students in Clinicals: What would you like to see?

Nurse Magnolia replied to bsf312's topic in General Nursing

I am in my second to last semester of nursing school and I will tell you I have not quite figured out what makes some nurses not like students and others love them. I've had both kinds of nurses and...
NICU nurse certifications

Hi all, I will graduate nursing school in April. I have very much enjoyed my women's health and neonatal rotations and am considering trying to get a job in a NICU when I graduate. It's not unheard...
Have you done this ?

Nurse Magnolia replied to Flossy73's topic in General Nursing

I am a current nursing student (Graduating in April) and I had a nurse say in front of me, at the nurses desk, within earshot of the folks walking the hall, physicians and family members, that her...
Worried sick that I may have caught MRSA?

Nurse Magnolia replied to 8Lovenursing8's topic in General Nursing

I don't know - at our hospital they don't even put any contact precautions on MRSA patients. Just standard precautions. So I wouldn't worry. I WOULD however (and I say this as a person with a...
What You Need To Know About Older Nurses: Myths and Realities

Nurse Magnolia replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

I am 46 years old and will graduate nursing school this April. I have a bachelors degree in IT so I sure do know my technology. The only problems I've had in nursing school at my age is RN's on the...
NICU nurse certifications

Nurse Magnolia replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in NICU, Neonatal

Older Student, Unprofessional Nurse During Clinical

Nurse Magnolia replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in General Students

I didn't say nor think that they were 'bad nurses'. Somehow in the ensuing 9 pages of comments my original post and subsequent replies have been lost in translation. All I've ever said is that I...
Older Student, Unprofessional Nurse During Clinical

Nurse Magnolia replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in General Students

With all due respect RubyVee, 5 years ago I was on this forum attempting to gain information about going back to school in nursing. I asked a few feeler questions about the profession and was...

A PRIVATE CONVERSATION at the nurses desk where visitors, families and other support staff were around? Want a private conversation, go to the nurses lounge and have at
Older Student, Unprofessional Nurse During Clinical

Nurse Magnolia replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in General Students

Like the poster cut me some slack? In this case, I would've told my children to determine whether or not to chime in by the old adage; Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary? If anyone of those...
Older Student, Unprofessional Nurse During Clinical

Nurse Magnolia replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in General Students

Well aren't you a special kind of ugly. Because it was my first post on the forum and I was introducing myself. Not sure why you'd jump in with a rude comment that had nothing to do with my question...
Older Student, Unprofessional Nurse During Clinical

Nurse Magnolia replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in General Students

Agree with everything you said. I do not expect nurses to not vent about their patients. I expect that *I* will vent as well. It was the tone, location and vitriol included that was alarming to
Older Student, Unprofessional Nurse During Clinical

Nurse Magnolia replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in General Students

Hmmmm....Ok. I'll take this advice and file it with the rest, however if people "strongly dislike me" because I don't want to be subjected to their misery, name calling and general meanness about the...
Older Student, Unprofessional Nurse During Clinical

Nurse Magnolia replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in General Students

Don't take this the wrong way, but I certainly hope I don't feel any differently later on. I don't expect to because I'm not 20. I've been around a few blocks. But, if I do, it's time to go into a...
Older Student, Unprofessional Nurse During Clinical

Nurse Magnolia replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in General Students

I've tried to explain that I don't think I was being judgmental as much as I was looking to see if this was the norm in how nurses feel. I WAS really surprised at the comments, not because I am a new...
Older Student, Unprofessional Nurse During Clinical

Nurse Magnolia replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in General Students

And I totally understand that. I am aware that I need to work on getting thicker skin. In school we had to do personality tests to see what "color" we were. It was no surprise to me that I'm a...
