1. Surgical Nurse??

   HealingHands327 replied to militarytonursing's topic in General Nursing

   I'm currently a student nurse in the OR learning how to scrub. The best way is to go ahead and do nursing, and while in nursing school, apply for externship in the OR. Check your local hospitals if...

2. WHY do we need more nurses

   HealingHands327 replied to getinfall's topic in General Nursing

   I would have to disagree. Many men would still not do nursing. It's not a clean job like computers where u get to sit at a desk all day. So I disagree with you. There's enough drawbacks to nursing...

4. Should i become a CNA

   HealingHands327 replied to ryan4me's topic in General Nursing

   I say get another job until you at least are in nursing school where you can then get an extern position. As an extern, you can do more registered nursing stuff other then just basic care such as...

5. I was slapped by a doctor!

   HealingHands327 replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

   Bah what you got were peanuts in my opinion. What did you get? a 1-2 dollar raise to keep you quiet? You had a chance to make a significant change for women, particularly in nursing, but you chose to...

   Hey there ! I went to PCC for my gen eds, but didn't get accepted into their program. Got accepted to State instead. My friend is doing her nursing at PCC and has shared to me that her instructors are...

7. New Grad Straight To OR

   HealingHands327 replied to AOx4's topic in General Nursing

   The problem isn't really the experience. It's whether or not the hospital wants to train you to work in the OR or not. OR nursing is very different from any other floor nursing, thus it costs a grip...

8. racist comment

   HealingHands327 replied to XXl-cool's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   It's not really a racist comment. It's more a combination of stereotypes, and misinformation. These people who bring up these topics are probably seeking out an answer to their frustration, and...

9. Im 42 year old male and just about to begin Nursing

   HealingHands327 replied to ready2beAnurse's topic in General Nursing

   Get ready to spend 4-5 years on prerequisites and nursing classes. Oh, if you don't get high grades, get ready to be put on a lottery / waiting list that can take another year or two. I got denied by...

10. Just want to be a nurse =)

    HealingHands327 replied to FutureRN718's topic in General Nursing

    What are the grades for your prerequisites? Have you tried applying to a BSN program? The failing grades for Bachelors are lower at this level, hence a better chance for the student to pass. The...

11. why cant I get hired?

    HealingHands327 replied to hpizzle789's topic in General Nursing

    Try calling the employer and find out what the reason was. Sometimes they will tell you why you were not hired. I thought military people are considered

    Are you talking about getting into nursing school? I got 6 !! rejection letters from community colleges, most of which used lottery, and a few waiting lists. I got in the same year into a state Univ...

13. ADN or BSN

    HealingHands327 replied to LV2BME's topic in General Nursing

    I had the same problem. For me when it came down to it I was desperate to get into any program, even though I had a 3.75 pre nursing GPA. It's so impacted, many schools are resorting to using ATI as...

14. Writing Dean of Nursing.........

    HealingHands327 replied to StressQT23's topic in General Nursing

    I think the concern is patient safety (it's too bad the instructors couldn't voice their feelings better). If the instructors have to wear a device just so you can hear them properly, I am concerned...

15. Picking a progam

    HealingHands327 replied to ddthemedic's topic in General Nursing

    I would bite the bullet and do 1yr of the 2hr drive thing and get it over with. RNs get significantly more than LPNs and plus you will have to go back to get your RN again, which is a total drag. If...
