  4. Mind Boggling - Not going to graduation?

    JeanettePNP replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    No recognition=no job. I hate that the world works this way, but the fact is that unacknowledged achievements, even if they're appreciated between you and G-d, won't help you advance your

  5. Mind Boggling - Not going to graduation?

    JeanettePNP replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    My school held separate graduation and award ceremonies. It said on the invitation that family members of students who were receiving awards were welcome to attend. Well, how were we to know if we...

    JeanettePNP replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    I'm starting psych rotation today so I'll let you know how that goes. OB--Depending on your clinical site, you'll probably rotate through L&D, triage, postpartum, nursery and NICU, if you're...

  7. Anyone who didnt have enough time on NCLEX???

    JeanettePNP replied to atea2012's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I thought you had 6 hours to complete the NCLEX? No way could I sit for a test for six solid hours. If I got the full 265 questions I'd probably be answering questions randomly at that

  10. What is the job market like for Nursing right now?

    JeanettePNP replied to wally12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. Just curious...Do nurses hate Birth Plans?

    JeanettePNP replied to chnc1024's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is part of the problem... in many cities you just don't have that many options to have the birth you want. There may be no birthing center, or no midwives that practice homebirth, etc. etc. So...

  12. part-time accelerated programs

    JeanettePNP replied to smallwonders07's topic in General Students

    Right. Depends on the program. It's best to find out what the time commitment will be before enrolling in a program, so you'll know if you can hold down a job at the same time. I worked all through my...

  13. part-time accelerated programs

    JeanettePNP replied to smallwonders07's topic in General Students

  14. At what age did you decide on nursing?

    JeanettePNP replied to Wan2BRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started to think about nursing when I was about 32. I'm 36 now and about to graduate with a BSN. I used to freak out over blood or any injuries--now I'm the first person to come running and saying...

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Pediatric

    Let's say you fed a baby and they coughed up the whole feeding. (Not vomiting, just had a coughing fit and the feeding came back up.) How long would you wait to

  18. What is the upstate NY job market like?

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm graduating in August. From what I hear, it takes until October to get the Approval to Test. If I want to move north, does it make sense to just plan a move for September and then worry about the...

  19. What is so difficult about nursing school?

    JeanettePNP replied to zbb13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the others that nursing school isn't THAT hard. Yes, you'll have to work hard and use time management skills. And you have to learn how to read NCLEX style questions. (Actually way too...

  20. What is the upstate NY job market like?

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in New York Nursing

    Clinicals are for learning, first and foremost. It's a big world out there; the hospital where you did your clinicals isn't' always the best match for you, career-wise. Good luck to you in your career...

    JeanettePNP replied to SlightlyMental_RN's topic in General Nursing

    With pleasure! First off I'll say that natural pain relief measures are very individualized--what works for me might not work for someone else. Through trial and error I've learned what I need during...

  23. Home birth in NY?

    JeanettePNP replied to mree's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When I use the term "lay midwife" I mean a midwife who has no credentials whatsoever. A certified public midwife has education and training in midwifery. I don't believe it's necessary to go the CNM...

  24. Home birth in NY?

    JeanettePNP replied to mree's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think it's true what you heard, that homebirth is generally looked down upon and discouraged. In addition to the reasons that other posters gave, many doctors/nurses have a skewed view of homebirth...
