Congratulations! And a well deserved one at that...! I know what a long, hard road nursing school is, the commitment and dedication, and the sacrifice you make to take on this endeavor. I hope that nursing is everything you want it to be! Good lu...

Hi...I am graduating on May 16...have my finals next week (fingers crossed)! I am starting a job at Ruby Memorial in June. I had 3 offers of employment in the area and chose to work at Ruby...I am pretty excited about it...although I am also very n...

MomofStudent...You are SO RIGHT. From my experience in nursing school, it seems as though a lot of my classmates are just expecting the flood gates to open and the jobs to come pouring out. It's tough out there!

Thought I would join in and say hi! I live in Fayette Co. Pennsylvania, but will be working in Morgantown starting on June first. I will be graduating from school in May and accepted a position at Ruby. I am excited but MUCHO nervous! Any advice ...

Hi, I am in S.W. Pennsylvania...I have interviewed at 3 hospitals and have been offered 2 jobs so far...one of them in Morgantown at Ruby. I still have another interview coming up next week at yet another hospital. I am so confused! LOL. Startin...

Not all of our boyfriends are physicists who can cover most of the bills. My husband works pretty hard, and right now he is covering our expenses too. I don't buy 300 dollar purses or get my hair and nails done on a monthly basis. As a matter of f...

Hi Everyone, I am hoping there is a l/d nurse here who can help me with a few questions. 1. Is it normal for a mom for contractions to cease immediately after a uterine rupture? if so, why does this happen? 2.What are the IMMEDIATE nursing interventi...

Hi Guys, I just found out today that I got an interview (at the hospital I've been trying and trying to get in at) for an externship this summer. This is so important to me. I have never been on a job interview this important before and I was wonde...

Yes, I have looked in my textbook, it does not have much in-depth information on the subject of uterine rupture. Just an overview. That is why I was asking for info!

Hi Everyone, I am doing nursing diagnosis and rationales for an OR experience that I had on Friday. The woman had surgery on her vulva for VIN and I am required to do 3 diagnosis and rationales. Here is what I have so far: 1. Acute pain related to...

Hi Everyone Currently I am a student in an ADN program, and we are doing our maternal/OB rotation right now. Our instructor gave us quite a few crossword puzzles to familiarize ourselves with some OB terms. I have them all done but I am missing 3 a...

Thanks everyone for helping me out! I knew I could count on you!

I am in my first semester of nursing school, and I am doing my clinical rotation at a smaller community hospital. The evening before clinicals, we all go to the hospital to pick up our patient assignments. Tonight, there were 3 of us sitting behi...

Wow...that's something to think about! I know we all have bad days....

Thanks for your response...I will let it go. For the most part the nurses on our unit are very helpful although very busy. This was just way past anything I had witnessed before and the reason it is bothering me so much is probably shock!

bump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone, I was hoping I could get some opinions on nursing school. I am attending a major university (Penn State) and so far I have racked up over 10,000.00 dollars in student loans. It takes me about 10 to 15 minutes to get to school from my hou...

Congrats! I am proud of you! Yes, it is a wonderful feeling when you are accepted into your program..it makes you feel like you are walking on air! The best of luck to you!!!! Lisa

Thanks to all of you for your opinions. I want to clarify that the program I am in at Penn State is also an ADN, the same as offered at cc. I love the fact that I am so close to my school now, but I guess if I really want to be an RN I wont mind trav...
