  1. Thinking of leaving acute care

    anurseatlast replied to MarBug7's topic in Nursing Career

    MarBug, I have never worked in a hospital setting as a nurse (I did many years ago as a CNA). I knew before I went to school that I did not want to work in the hospital. Perhaps some day I will...

  2. How's Omaha?

    anurseatlast replied to TESC'10's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on getting accepted! Since you have a little while until you start, I would focus on reviewing A&P. The more you understand that, the easier it will be to understand pathophysiology which...

  3. Nursing Skills you've used outside of work

    anurseatlast replied to sergel02's topic in General Nursing

    Therapeutic communication comes in handy with my 26 yr old daughter but I have to not be too obvious or she says, "Cut it out Mom and talk like a real person." Hmmm. Must have tried it on her too...

  5. Maybe relocating to Nebraska/ Clarkson College

    anurseatlast replied to confusedstudent_88's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with everything Me-er-than me said. Omaha is a great place to live. Has made various top city lists lately. It is a very friendly city with lots to do but not too big. Don't know where you...

  6. Did you attend an Accelerated BSN program?

    anurseatlast replied to GradStudent2012's topic in General Nursing

    i absolutely would do it again. it was intense but i loved it almost every day. it was a great challenge. one of the things i liked was that you are only focusing on nursing, not english, math, etc....

    anurseatlast replied to anurseatlast's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No. I work for a non-profit public health agency. Our program is similar to Nurse-Family in many ways. Ours is a holistic multi-disciplinary team approach with each mom having both a nurse and a...

    Thanks Colleen. I currently work with teen moms in their homes and helping moms figure out breastfeeding is one of the joys of my job. I am fortunate to be backed up by some great IBCLCs who can give...

  13. Albumin Reaction

    anurseatlast replied to jesskidding's topic in General Nursing

    So are all people who are allergic to sulfa also allergic to lasix or is there just an increased risk of a reaction? What is the connection between sulfa and lasix? Maybe something every nurse should...

  14. Most useful items to pack-medical mission

    anurseatlast replied to JustJen's topic in Emergency

    If you will be wearing a skirt, biker shorts will prevent chafing when it is so hot. Packing clothes for each day in an XL ziplock is helpful and bags will come in handy. Slip on shoes and a...

    anurseatlast replied to zandra's topic in Ob/Gyn

    With my second baby, I was 10cm and +4 when I got to the labor room (no, not on purpose). the nurse kept telling me not to push. At that point, I didn't care if I pushed her out on the bed and it was...

    anurseatlast replied to loveishope's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a new grad, I applied with a health care system here numerous times for a wide variety of jobs. They were hiring many nurses. I could never get beyond the online application which included...

  17. Passing narcs with the med tech?

    anurseatlast replied to Glina's topic in General Nursing

    In Nebraska, I think Medication Aides only take a 1 week course. Most are CNA but that doesn't teach them anything about medications. I would definitely NOT want my parent in a facility that used med...

  18. Second career?

    anurseatlast replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    How about home health? When I was in nursing school, I worked as a nursing assistant but they had RNs too. I just told them what days and times I was available. Some short visits or you might be able...

    anurseatlast replied to reesedatdude's topic in General Students

    I went back to school decades after high school. I did fine in all my pre-req classes studying on my own. Each person has their own way of learning. Do what works best for you. If you decide to do a...

  23. For those who don't wear scrubs, what do you wear to work?

    anurseatlast replied to cbcle's topic in General Nursing

    I work in the community, not in a hospital. I can wear business casual but usually wear scrubs. They are made to stand up to repeated washing and are comfortable for sitting on the floor at clients'...

  24. Nursing while nursing, can it be done??

    anurseatlast replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    Remember it is only a week of full-time. You and your baby will survive. Pump as much as you can this weekend - before you go to bed, while the baby nurses on the other side, first thing in the...

  25. Get married during nursing school??

    anurseatlast replied to rileysaunt's topic in General Students

    I would ask my dad if he would be willing to contirbute whatever of the 20K you do NOT spend on the wedding to helping you finish school. You could do a decent wedding for way less than that. That...
