  1. Questions: Designing a new nursing program

    justme1972 replied to bookwormom's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Sorry, I realized I didn't fully answer your question. You can actually be admitted to our program directly out of high school...the pre-reqs are all high school level. Most other nursing programs has...

  2. Questions: Designing a new nursing program

    justme1972 replied to bookwormom's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    So far, I haven't heard any of my classmates complain about it, then again and this seems to be par for the course at most nursing schools. We are highly encouraged to utilize summers to get these...

  3. Questions: Designing a new nursing program

    justme1972 replied to bookwormom's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I'm not an instructor, but a student, but I thought I would at least share what our ADN program requires for pre-reqs. They require the following before applying to the program: 1. High school level...

  4. Career Fair attire? conserative? professional?

    justme1972 replied to bisson's topic in General Nursing

    You can never go wrong with a suit, plain and simple. It shows effort, it shows you want the job. A suit isn't a suit without a jacket. You can put it on in the parking lot before you go in. I can't...

  5. Comfortable Shoes

    justme1972 replied to NTB08's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    If you are on a budget, I like the Skechers "croc" version...I think the style is called "cali"...they are slimmer on the foot, are made out of the same antimicrobial material as crocs...and I have...

  6. do you ever just wanna yell..."Would you SHUT UP already???"

    justme1972 replied to coltsgrl's topic in General Students

    As an older student...I have noticed that the "will you just shut up" looks usually come from the younger students. The beauty of being an older student...is we don't really care if the question we...

  7. Infuriating Responses To Questions

    justme1972 replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    Yup....I usually take it as a sign that they don't answer because they don't know...99% of the time this is the case. Very rarely it's because I have sometimes proven, that there is a such thing, as a...

  8. Breast Feeding and Contractions Questions

    justme1972 replied to Emily Suzanne's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm a student...so I'll reason with a 'student' mentality. With question one, a new mother may not be able to pump every 2 to 3 hours depending on her job. However, I know that breast milk can be...

  9. This is killing me! Is there a possibility I passed????

    justme1972 replied to go43ah's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Can we get an update? I hope it's

  10. Fundal Measurement - Postpartum

    justme1972 replied to Yayamaya's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Great information has been posted. I did have something very unusual happen this summer that an OB said he had only seen twice in 7 years. We had a Mom that had a c-section (scheduled) and when we...

  11. What is the biggest piece of advice you have for nursing students?

    justme1972 replied to ton343's topic in General Nursing

    For a new nursing student: If you approach the major of nursing like any other class...you'll be in for a huge surprise. Nursing school takes time, but it's not so hard that it's anywhere near...

  12. Missing narcs. Being blamed!

    justme1972 replied to ryny143's topic in General Nursing

    I'm seeing your situation as you accepted the shipment, logged it into the book but DELIVERED the narcs to the floor to the LPN...and that is where they disappeared. Is this correct? Then the problem...

  13. Men and nursing school admission

    justme1972 replied to GoDawgs!'s topic in Men in Nursing

    In my state, I go to a public community college and neither race nor gender is used as part of the admissions process. However, our school does receive scholarship opportunities that do have...

  14. hep B...they're req'd to give it to us, are they req'd to give us the proof?

    justme1972 replied to coltsgrl's topic in General Nursing

    If it's an employer, they should pay for the titers, not you. Personally, I don't care what the literature says, doubling up on vaccines is dangerous...no way would I take another one if I had already...

  15. Joke: What did they call the medical student...

    justme1972 posted a topic in Nursing Humor

    What did they call the medical student that graduated at the bottom of his class?

  16. Child Restraint During Induction ?

    justme1972 replied to OR male nurse's topic in Operating Room

    Can't say that I have...and hope that I never do. I wasn't suggesting that the parents stay for the entire induction or the surgery. I did have the opportunity this summer (I'm a student) to observe 3...

  17. I think I crossed the line

    justme1972 replied to beachbum3's topic in General Nursing

    I would do an incident report telling the patient that he had a MRSA infected wound. Someone that is unlicensed should not be discussing test results with the patient b/c they are not qualified to...

  19. Being an HIV positive nurse

    justme1972 replied to piddlepong's topic in Men in Nursing

    Yes, I have. For whatever reason, I'm thinking that the USA is one of them. The only reason I posted this, is because I could have sworn I read this

  20. Who here actually uses percussion when doing assessments?

    justme1972 replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

    Ok...I had to throw this out there...b/c it's funny. When we first started our class this summer, we were having trouble getting the "flow" of how we were supposed to do it. So someone asked our...

  21. Who here actually uses percussion when doing assessments?

    justme1972 replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

    We have a ACNP for an instructor in our health assessment class that I finished this summer. She was a cardiac nurse for 8 years before she got her NP. She said that she uses percussion on every...

    justme1972 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have a general question. One of my sisters has been dating a guy for a little over a year. She is a recent college graduate, but he is a bit older...36 years old. All my sister has ever wanted in...

  23. Radiation and sterility in males

  24. Is the RN liable for other's actions???????

    justme1972 replied to nursemate19's topic in General Nursing

    This comment is in no way to slam MA's in general, because I am sure there are very knowledgeable and valuable ones out there. However. Some of them have just enough knowledge to be dangerous. As an...

  25. Is the RN liable for other's actions???????

    justme1972 replied to nursemate19's topic in General Nursing

    See, this is what I would be worried about too. I wonder if she could call the BON and ask them...she wouldn't need to give away the name of the
