:welcome: I just thought it would be interesting to see what schools everyone attended for nursing. This is open to everyone all the way from hospitals that grant diplomas in nursing to large universities that issue Ph.D's. Also, would you recommend...

When you come to work for your shift, what is your routine from the time you walk in to the time you leave? :monkeydance:

I live in Boston now and just as Capejaz posted Eastern Mass is very expensive. However, some of the best hospitals in the state as well as the country are located in Boston. You always have an option of living in surrounding towns of Boston like Qui...

Hello Again, I was curious to see if anyone took the CLEP exams in place of their pre-reqs? If so, were the exams hard, which subjects did you take them in? And did the schools you applied to take them?

Wow, thanks everyone for you help and input! It was greatly appreciated!! :)

Hello Everyone, I was wondering if anyone attended Queens University of Charlotte for nursing? What was the program like as far as admissions, classes, NCLEX passing rate etc.

It definitely varies from state to state. In the state that I'm in you need to have a certificate or an associates degree in medical assisting to work in a hospital for obvious reasons. However, those requirements do not carry over into private pract...

The hospital that I work at has 2 private rooms on all med/surg floors. The ICU and maternity floors has all private rooms as well. I just think that not having private rooms a lot of times HIPAA regulations are comprimised. Not to mention space is c...

wow, these are great!!

Hello Everyone! I have a question regarding the NICU and PICU. I know that if a baby at complications during the delivery or has an abnormality at birth they are admitted to the NICU. But at what point is a newborn admitted into the PICU for a seriou...

Oh okay!! Thanks everyone it seems like every hospital varies in some way or another. Great answers to my question though

I just need to vent and hopefully some of you great nurses out there can help me! I am currently a nursing student in my junior year enrolled in a BSN program. And over the past summer I worked as a student nurse/PCA at a very prominent hospital in t...

Does anyone know who is typically above a nurse manager, like who is her boss?

Thank you very much Jill48 for your sympathy, I do appreciate it greatly.

I wanted to ask, when I get licensed etc. or apply to other jobs am I obligated to inform them of this incident? Because obviously it will be looked down upon greatly thus making it harder for me to find employment as a new grad next year. (

Thank you everyone for your support, its very comforting to to know others are behind me.

I somewhat attempted the lawyer thing. But when I consulted with them and was told everything I had to gather (i.e. paperwork, statements etc.) the hospital was less than willing to help me obviously. The literally threw every lawyer at me with legal...

Congrats to you!!!!!!!!! Good Luck with everything, your going to do great!!! :balloons: :balloons: :balloons: :balloons: :balloons:

Hello to all! I've read a post on Suzanne's plan and I still have no idea on who she is, what it does, how it works, how much it cost etc? I am very lost. I mean I have yet to take the NCLEX but who knows in the future I may need it. Do you have to f...

Thank you so much for this posting! Although its not from my school A&P info stays the same! lol

Hello to all! First off, I am new to this site and this is my first post! So this is partially to say hello and partly to ask a question to the RN's out there.. As a nursing student I have discovered theres quite a few formulas and numerical things t...

I'm a nursing student who worked at a PCA and I think it has to be the time where I helped a nurse wheel a deased person to the morgue. And anything of and or relating to C-Diff, can't quite get over that its, pretty disturbing c-diff that is... lol

I'm completely with you! But you definitely shouldn't give up. This should only reinforce everything you've been doing so far. You were one of the incredible people who were fighting for this little one, that's what the nursing profession is about. A...
