1. 2 year waiting list 4 nursing program....

   Forevermomof5 replied to ShellyMichele's topic in General Students

   Hi....Michele, you are just a little too far north! I'm down here in Las Vegas and we don't have that same problem. I am going into my last semester in January but when I applied, I got in a semester EARLY! From what I hear, it's still not too bad ...

2. Class of 2004 check in

   Forevermomof5 replied to RNIAM's topic in General Students

   Yea....I qualify!!! I can't believe that so many years of school and now I'm finally going to graduate in something! I will also be done in the middle of May - 6 weeks after I'm due with my 6th baby! Our classes are only 8 weeks long so in 2 weeks ...

3. Pregnant in Nursing School

   Forevermomof5 replied to RNin2005's topic in General Students

   Hey, I guess I never thought about it that I will need to change my name!!! I had my first clinical day today back to school this semester and it was difficult. In the middle of our hospital tour, I had to immediately excuse myself to go toss som...

4. Pregnant in Nursing School

   Forevermomof5 replied to RNin2005's topic in General Students

   Hey, congrats! I am also pregnant, due the first week of April. I am currently in nursing school and set to graduate in May. This past week I told my instructors that I am pregnant and although they think I'm crazy (this is my 6th child) they are m...

   I love that quote! I am going to use that from now on - it's so true!! Thanks, Karen

6. Psych Rotation

   Forevermomof5 replied to Love-A-Nurse's topic in General Students

   I stand corrected! What the real shame is that as a nursing student, I NEVER saw any of that. If the field of psych nursing wants to get more students to enjoy and possibly want to go into that field, you would think that we would participate more ...

7. Microbiology

   Forevermomof5 replied to camkib's topic in General Students

   I'm not sure about anyone else's program, but I haven't used any information from my microbiololgy class in my nursing program. To me it seems to be another money maker for the colleges to require this class. The one thing that Micro did teach me wa...

8. Nurse Apprentices

   Forevermomof5 posted a topic in General Students

   I was just wondering how many nursing students have taken the opportunity to work as a nurse apprentice. In Nevada you can start working after you have completed your first semester. Is it the same everywhere else? I worked on a med-surg floor sinc...

9. Psych Rotation

   Forevermomof5 replied to Love-A-Nurse's topic in General Students

   I know that everyone has their own niche that they find in nursing but I can say without a doubt that psych nursing is not mine!!! Every day I went through that rotation I thought I wanted to jump out of the highest window I could find. I never real...

10. Bsn prerequisites and doing ADN program

    Forevermomof5 replied to giftedRN's topic in General Students

    Our communtiy project starts off with everyone picking a group of 5-6 people and then picking an area of Las Vegas. During our first semester we assess our target area and do a huge paper on demographics, what the problems in our area are, etc. In ...

11. Bsn prerequisites and doing ADN program

    Forevermomof5 replied to giftedRN's topic in General Students

    What I would give for only 2 semesters of a community project! We started our community project last fall (1st semester) and we will finish it next spring (4th semester). It is absolutely the biggest time waster. We also do a preceptorship. Ours i...

12. Bsn prerequisites and doing ADN program

    Forevermomof5 replied to giftedRN's topic in General Students

    Well I have to say something here. In Las Vegas (I'm not speaking for other states or programs) the ADN program is far better than the BSN. I could have chosen to go to either program and I chose the ADN. In our school, we do MORE clinicals than th...

13. What speciatly do you plan on entering?

    Forevermomof5 replied to marilynmom's topic in General Students

    Hi...it's been awhile since I've posted. While reading this thread I was surprised to not see more people saying that they'd like to be in L&D. It seems like where we are, that's everyone's goal. Personally, I like critical care or oncology. A...

14. Med Surg/Psych??

    Forevermomof5 replied to ksrn2004's topic in General Students

    Hi....Well I completely disagree with the other posts. I am currently in Psych right now and I had med-surg the first 8 weeks of this semester. I wouldn't have changed it for the world. Med-Surg is definately more difficult for lecture and clinica...

15. Nurse Externs

    Forevermomof5 replied to NurseDixie's topic in General Students

    HI!!! Here in Las Vegas they call a nurse extern a Nurse Apprentice and just like an apprentice in other professions we are under the supervision and care of a licensed person. Here at the hospital that I work at I can do everything except hang blo...
