Hi all!! I need some advice. I recently got offered a great job with a big hospital system that I am really excited to work for. I already put in my notice at my current employer, so this situation has me nervous. I am a fairly new nurse ...

Does anyone know what an accountable care unit is? I see a job posting near me, but I've never heard of this before and a Google search just gives a very vague answer. It doesn't explain what kinds of patients are there, like is it just like med/surg...

Hi! I know this post is old, but did you wind up moving? If so, where are you working at? Do you like it? I just moved to Columbia and I've been in outpatient but I miss the bedside. Considering going back, but I know nothing about the hospitals here...

So I'm having a question come up from a parent regarding IHPs. Their student recently turned 18, so the parent is not sure if they can sign the IHP for their student. I can't find a clear answer regarding this and I am a brand new school nurse. What ...

Sure! I’ll PM you my email!

I got the great news yesterday that I got accepted to my ADN program of choice and I start in January! I'm so excited and thought I'd share it here :)

Sorry, just so I understand correctly, how are you getting to 17 points with a 70 on the teas?

Sure! I had 10 points overall I believe. I’m now going into 4th semester, which is OB and Peds. I took the TEAS test to get in and I believe my score was an 84 or an 85.

Hey there! I’m a third semester ADN student in Myrtle Beach. I’m currently looking into Greenville Memorial Hospitals Residency program. I’ve been researching their website of course and also trying to read through Glassdoor and similar sites, but th...

My school uses PrepU and I haven’t noticed many major discrepancies like the one you posted here. However, all questions are customized to your textbook, so we probably use two different textbooks and your textbook probably got the short end of the s...

I really, really, really, really hope this is sarcasm

I really can’t believe you want your grade overturned because you were late *twice*, used your cell phone in the wrong area, and had patient complaints. We get sent home from clinical if we even have our cell phones on our person, being late twice is...

My varicella and MMR came back negative. I had to get a booster of each. However, from what you’ve stated it sounds like you have to complete the series again. I’m sure though that there is some kind of form to say you’ll adhere to the dosing schedul...

Hey there! I’m just a student so I can’t say anything about getting the license, but I do live in Myrtle, so I can answer some general questions about jobs and such. Office jobs-including insurance companies-are basically nonexistent here. There are ...

HGTC has an LPN-RN bridge that is completely points based. It’s a 3 semester program.

So, to start out, I’m about 3/4 of the way done with my first semester of my ADN program. Yesterday, I had to miss clinical for a new job orientation and I had to turn in my clinical paperwork from the prior week. This is where I made my major, gian...

So I looked into Direct Entry MSN programs before settling on getting my ADN then transitioning to BSN and eventually MSN. What I learned that “not expensive” and “Direct Entry MSN” do not go in the same sentence. Ever. If you want to go the direct e...

Hey Dom! You'll probably get a better response if you make your own thread about this in the students section or in the NY (?) nursing thread. Hope I helped ?

Okay, I agree that everyone's experience is going to be different. However, I don't agree with anyone that's telling you to shut up about how you perceive nursing school. Sure, don't go bragging to everyone in your class about how easy it is, but tha...

If I were you, I’d make your clinical instructor aware whether your classmates agree to give you rides or not. Crap happens and rides can fall through at the last second. Better to make your instructor aware now than show up late one day because your...

No, they most certainly can't kick you out for wearing hearing aids. That would be a form of discrimination. As long as you live in the US, you're 100% protected against things like that. I'd contact your schools disability services if I were you.

At my orientation last week, my instructors said that a 77 (our lowest passing grade) is our new A.... kind of scary lol

My favorite lunch to bring to school is a chicken salad sandwich on whole wheat bread. I just get canned chicken (one 12 oz can of Walmart brand is 1.50 and makes 3 sandwiches) and light mayo. I’m on weight watchers and it’s only 5 points. I also lik...

MUSC has a great ABSN program. Or you can go to a community college for your ADN and then later on do an RN-BSN. Coastal Carolina up here in Conway has a very good RN-BSN program. Good luck! ETA: Whatever you do, I'd really stay in state. We have so ...

As someone with the name Angel, I am thoroughly offended (kidding)
