The worst incident I have dealt with changed my career path. In clinicals I could hear the homeless,double amputee that I was assigned to yelling for me. I went in the room and he had dug out his own impaction! It was everywhere and he was wiping ...

My computer is in the shop to fix a problem with the monitor. If anyone else that has received the notes from me could send this student the pharm notes, it would be appreciated. If you do not recieve them, get a Pharmacology in Nursing book (any w...

I have a sheet that I use to give report from; as the shift progresses I add info to the sheet so that it is complete for each pt before the end of the shift. Here is the basic info that is needed for report: Name age Dx secondary Dx Wgt last BM (or...

Love this thread! I am finishing my 3 mth orientation on a Peds floor next week. I hated, hated my first 3 wks because the preceptor used my mistakes as fodder for laughs from other nurses. I was then switched to nights with a new preceptor and ha...

Send me a personal email to my "private messages" and I will send you the copies of the notes for pharm

Toby4 you have given wonderful advice. I would like to add one more: attitude. If you enjoy the learning and the clinicals and come each day with the right attitude you will be able to make it through. I think that those who make it know that they...

Your best bet would be the areas of Mandeville and Covington which are (as we say) "above the lake" meaning above Lake Ponchartrain. They are bedroom communities, mostly upper middle class, and fairly safe. It would be a longer commute to the airpo...

You do not need a Biology degree to get into an Accelerated program, so find another field that you are interested in. Just make sure that you include the prereqs for the Accelerated program you choose.

ThrowEdNurse said it right, Nursing school will be your whole life. I finished this summer and have copies of the pharm notes if you want them. There are a lot, but this class weeds out those who just do not understand what this program takes. Sen...

Where do you want to go to school? NO,Baton Rouge? Do you have a college degree? If so there are the accelerated programs. Do you want to go for a 4 yr degree? or 2 yr degree? D

Actually I just graduated from the Olol/Tulane program and they gave us $600.00 a mth (per Uncle Sam, considered a bonus so depending upon dependents, your pay check could be 390.00 - 520.00). For that we had to sign a contract to work for 2 yrs. I...

Jess I would like to find out how you feel now? Brand New and feeling sooo dumb, RN

KINSEY, send me a private message with a personal email address and I will send you a set. Just be aware that it is a lot of info which is good, because it will give you an example of what your brain will have to absorb to pass this program.

There is a difference between Algiers Point and the City area called Algiers. One is getto but the other is up and coming with charm. However if you are looking for cheaper places to live, the suburbs of Metarie and Kenner have some still decently pr...

Please send me a private message with your email address and I will send you the notes.

I just graduated from Tulane/OLOL and I am from the Houma area. There has been a long wait for LE Fletcher CC to open their nurse program so the waiting list is probably pretty long. I took some classes there and confusion on the part of the admin....

I just graduated from a accelerated program in NO. I have been looking at jobs at certain hospitals but have found that there is a reluctance to hire new grads. However I know that some of my classmates have gotten on with hospitals other than Tula...

I understand, these were concerns that I/we had when we first started the progrm. Yes it is hard, very hard. We started with 42 and graduated 23. The BR accelerated program has the same ratio. It is so hard to lose people during the year. Those ...

I really don't think that I want to put my GPA out there for all to see. I am sure you understand that. Lets say that it was high enough for me to get into the program, although I understand that is not the major criteria for admission. As for stud...

It is better not to put your personal email address on the web site. I did that when I first started on here and a more experienced person taught me how to send private messages. I will pass it on to you. click on my name on the blog and you will see...

I will send you the notes, but there are a lot of them. Please send me a private message with a personal web address and I will get them to you, Donna
