I know ppl from several different nursing schools in the region and every school feeds their students that "hospitals prefer our students over other schools" line. Whatever. And everyone considers their school to be the toughest program. Bottom li...

It is now free ($10 one time deposit) for tulane employees to park in the garages...and there seems to always be plenty of spaces. hs2005, I just started on abdominal transplant there. I can let you know how it is in a few weeks. But if you have ...

Too bad CA isn't in the nurse licensure compact or your CA license would be good in MS too. Check with the Mississippi Board of Nursing http://www.msbn.state.ms.us/ for details. This comes from a section of our textbook: " When [foreign] nurses m...

There are plenty of RN jobs at Forrest General, even if you don't see them posted online. Its big so there are many positions beyond floor nurses you can look into. Most hospitals in the area are always needing nurses, and you won't have a problem ...

Ya'll study the conversions: mg to g, tsp to cups, mL to oz, gr to g, ect. on that handout!!!! Know the differnce between the sign for drams and ounce (look similar). This was our material for the first dosage test and will ALWAYS come up on tests...

Choose JD!! I'm not meaning to offend any USM grads (b/c I know there are good nurses from there) but our teachers tell us horror stories about the mistakes USM students make in clinicals. I don't think this means the students are stupid but that t...

I've gotten flyers from state convention and our college job fair and that seems to be the starting pay state wide- $18.50. I'm sure there's a night and weekend differential and you also have to consider benefits but it's still very low compared to ...

...just need one more post LOL... i wonder how many new positions the new hospital will be accepting?

Wow I wish we had a choice in locations. Luckily I'm going into my final semster and so far I have been put at the closest location. However we only have one hospital this semester to go to and its over an hour away. Getting up at 4am is not my st...

I'm in an ADN program. First semester starts with the history of nursing, then rules and responsibilites (HIPPA ect.), therapuetic communication, physical assessment, wounds/pressure ulcers/drains (dressing changes), urinary elimination (foley caths...

I think it depends on what level you are at. Micro definitely applied to med-surg, but Human Growth and Development was huge in Peds.

ahhh! don't remind me....well i don't want it to start but then again i can't wait unitl december to be finished!!

hi ang, (some new rule says i gotta have so many posts before i can PM ppl now so i'm working on it!) H.R. at Forrest General told us during orientation that their motto is "soon", and to answer anyone that asks about renovations, new buildings/ tec...

Go with a Littman but don't go spending all that money on one of the fancy ones just yet. There were so many that dropped/failed out the first semester, so just in case nursing doesn't end up being for you, buy a cheaper one and then go for the card...

Advice: The first week they are going to try to scare you by giving you hundreds of pages to read and a test. DON'T GET INTIMIDATED! It gets easier, but that 1st day you need to go home and get to reading. I'd tell you the chapters to start readi...

I just wanted to say hi. I'm going to be starting 4th semester of ADN at PRCC and just wanted to wish you good luck and let you know if you need any advice or have questions feel free to ask me!

So I assume you've taken A&P 1 and 2? If so, and you have a 4.0 than that's a big plus for you. I'm at PRCC and they go by a point system for getting in. Most points come from your GPA and ACT score. So the 18 may have been the thing holding ...

I'm in the RN program there now. The PN/LPN is a 3 semester program. I'm not 100% sure but I think you start in the fall and go through the end of the summer. I know they're in class all day, like 9-3. FYI, the RN (ADN) program is 4 semesters, yo...
