    CindyJRN replied to Nursecathy123ca's topic in Online Distance Learning

  10. Is medsurg a necessity for a new grad?

    CindyJRN replied to bigislandgyrl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think med surg will give anyone beneficial skills needed in all units of nursing. I think it is great when people get internships in certain designations, but the hands on skills of med surg will...

    CindyJRN replied to Nursecathy123ca's topic in Online Distance Learning

  17. HELP... I am Grade obsessed

    CindyJRN replied to JoniL&DRN's topic in General Students

    I accept my obsessiveness and move on! But to be fair, being an "adult" learner is different--failure is not an option. It is different to be paying out of one's own pocket and if you are like me,...

  18. Professional online nursing students, Please give your opinions here!!!!

    CindyJRN replied to txspadequeenRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

  21. Just Curious........

    Gee, I am boring. The only paid employment I have ever had is nursing. LPN at age 19, RN (AD) at 31 and now BSN student with my eyes set on MSN. I wonder if I would be any good at anything...

  24. do new RNs always get the night shift??

    CindyJRN replied to amyrae76's topic in General Nursing

    I can't imagine doing this, even if it meant doing 8 hour shifts! It is exhausting enough doing the 3 12's in a row every other Fri/Sat/Sun, and I usually spend Mondays "recovering"!!! How do you...

  25. do new RNs always get the night shift??

    CindyJRN replied to amyrae76's topic in General Nursing

    Amyrae, I think it is reflective of "newly hired nurses", not just necessarily new graduates. Have you been inquiring about orientation and/or internships? At my hospital, new grads have a mandatory...
