  1. Class with labs during pregnancy?

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

    It's probably safer to take a chemistry lab than to do clinical time in a hospital. At least you are only exposed to known chemicals and other students, not MRSA, chicken pox, and God knows what else...

  2. PDA's, iPods, and all the tech gadgets...

    jov replied to DesertRain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Technology, per se, is wildly inefficient. The best use of it to process redundant data. Hardly nursing school

  3. Help w/ head injury pt

    jov replied to luv2shopp85's topic in General Students

    good question, daytonite! the first tip off is: "i waited until 2 days before i go back to school to do my maxi map/care plan and now i'm kicking myself big time." nuff said. the second tip off is...

  4. PDA's, iPods, and all the tech gadgets...

    jov replied to DesertRain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    one thing you will discover the older you get, the more you will notice that technology does NOT save time or

  5. Delaying Children until after nursing school.

    jov replied to mydee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not so sure. Remember that 1 out of 6 couples goes through some sort of infertility. All your good nutrition, exercising, etc. won't be but a drop in the bucket if your husband has a low sperm...

  6. Help w/ head injury pt

    jov replied to luv2shopp85's topic in General Students

    Since it is allowed, I am going to disagree here. The poster has written a lot of DATA in the original "care plan" but the very fundamental bones of nursing is using nursing diagnoses instead of...

  7. Help w/ head injury pt

    jov replied to luv2shopp85's topic in General Students

    um...I could be wrong but it appears you are asking US to do YOUR care plan? the best I could recommend is to see your instructor

  11. Staring into the abyss of education

    jov replied to fiveofpeep's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No. Actually, at age 47, I find myself disappointed that by the time I get my NP, I will only have 10 years left to work in the field to become an expert. Don't get too excited about getting out of...

  12. how old can your credits be?

    jov replied to pruneo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It does depend on the school. I had A&P that was 20 years old. The nursing counselor said if I felt I needed to refresh my skills to get up to speed, that was up to me but was not required by the...

  13. Pinning ceremonies...

    jov replied to MsBruiser's topic in Male Nursing Students

    jb2u, this thread follows the idea that the men LIKE the idea of a pinning ceremony, but DISLIKE the idea of a feminized pinning

  17. Anyone see tonights "ER" Episode?

    jov replied to RNstudentBrian's topic in Men in Nursing

  18. What to do for RN/EMT-P?

    jov replied to tater.jake's topic in Men in Nursing

    in regards to your question, "is it necessary to have a bsn to be a flight nurse," i don't have the specific answer but i would like to strongly recommend that you go for the bsn. you won't be a...

  19. Ob And Peds

    jov replied to beanny's topic in General Students

    actually, beanny, the people who had the advantage in our ob and peds class were the ones that already had kids...maybe you could take that

  20. "How to" notecard ?

    jov replied to ibmaryann's topic in General Students

    I would only use notecards for that dry information that HAS to be memorized. Otherwise I rely on understanding concepts to pass the more advanced classes. The people who were failing in our Med/Surg...

  21. Advantages/Disadvantages being a male in nursing

    jov replied to wannabFNP's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I believe this to be the case at our school. Out of 1000 applicants, 70 got in. We have 2 males that are right up with the rest of the class and 4 others that are marginal, consistently barely passing...

    jov replied to MsBruiser's topic in Male Nursing Students

  23. AAS vs. BSN

    jov replied to LWildman's topic in General Students

    Dear OP, being as you are only 21, you might want to try to look further down the road than just your next nursing job. Having a BSN will not only look great on your resume but will make you...
