Hi everyone, It seems like the public health area isn't a very popular one to post at, but I thought I'd throw a few questions out there anyway. I'm currently beginning an honors BSN program. For honors we have to pick an area of concentration and ...

Hi Everyone! I'm graduating in December of this year (yipeeeeee!!!!) and am seriously looking to move to the Boulder/Longmont/Loveland/Fort Collins area. I've read about Longmont United Hospital and it sounds absolutely wonderful. It seems like the...

I just got done watching tonight's final presidential debate and I had to vent my frustrations somewhere. I think my family and friends are tired of listening to me :) I am very upset that the issue of environmental policy was not mentioned in the ...

Being an employee of a Ministry Health clinic, I would definitely recommend looking into one of their hospitals or clinics. I know there are some in your area. Check out their website (you'll have to search for it...I can't recall it off hand). Goo...

Being a senior nursing student at UWEC, I have had plenty of experience at both :) I have had clinicals on the med/telemetry and OB & nursery units at Luther. I honestly like the environment at Luther much better than Sacred Heart. The RN's and...

I disagree with a lot of the posts here telling you to not share this information. Everyone is looking at this as a "negative" bit of information to share. If asked a question like "What sets you apart from other students who may be applying?" or "...

Thanks for the link! I was wondering if anyone had heard anything good or bad about this school/professors/students, etc. Has anyone worked with students from this school? Heard any rumors? Thanks again!

I'm finishing up my BSN in Wisconsin right now and have been looking at moving out to Colorado when I graduate next December. Do you know anything about the University of Colorado - Colorado Springs and their graduate programs? Sounds intriguing......

Practice, practice, practice! The more you practice, the more natural you will become at performing your assessment. In our program, we were testing on physical assessment by videotaping an exam on another classmate...we even had to do breast exam...

Okay, I just had to look in my Mosby's drug guide after reading this. I have the 2003 (5th) edition and I guess the editors decided that wasn't an important nursing consideration anymore...I didn't see it mentioned anywhere...weird...

Hi Guys! I need your help on something! I just found out that we get to pre-register and choose our clinical settings for the next three semesters (this spring will be a first semester junior in my BSN program). Anyway, I have four choices...Neuro,...

Thanks for your opinions everyone! This actually won't be my first clinical. We start this semester working in acute care in a few weeks. Surgery/oncology sounds the most interesting to me...I'm just afraid that it might be a more difficult place...

Unequaledbeauty, Your career plan is absolutely my dream! I am working towards my BSN right now, too. At first I had planned on getting a biology degree and then going to med school, but I decided that I had more options with a nursing degree. Any...

A&P was very hard, but also very interesting. This was actually the only class I have ever gotten a B in in my life...but I also got mono in the middle of the semester, so that might have something to do with it. Is your class just one semester...

Hi Everyone, I am currently a BSN student and I also plan on minoring in American Indian Studies. I've always been very interested in Native Americans and would like to work for a reservation as either a private tribal hire or through the government...

Thanks a lot for your replies wolfox and fiestynurse! I'm actually planning on going on to graduate school to become a family health nurse practitioner. They have a very good program here at Eau Claire. Do you think there is much of a market for F...

I also hear the same things that all of you do. I'm a 20 year old sophomore in a BSN program. I had originally gone to school to follow a pre-med program, but decided last year that the philosophies of nursing agreed much more with my own. My forme...
