  1. Finals are coming!

    pinkiepie_RN replied to krenee's topic in General Students

    I have the psych ERI on Wednesday and then 40% of my psych nursing grade is going to be determined on Thursday - 25% on the final and 15% on a psychopharmacology exam. After that, I have a research...

  2. Anyone work in Towson?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to healinghands201's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Do you work in the peds department? Just curious, because I might be getting a nursing student position there

  3. Anyone work in Towson?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to healinghands201's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I work as a tech at Sheppard Pratt and they have two geriatrics units where patients might have some medical problems too, but all patients are "medically cleared" before they're admitted to the...

  4. what will you be doing over the break?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    Working on a mood stabilizers education plan for my peers, a "serious" teaching plan for the psych patients, starting the studying required for my psych drug test and final, antagonizing the...

  5. Leading a mental health class.

    pinkiepie_RN replied to jbjints's topic in General Students

    Check to see if there are handouts available for this group and if possible, ask those at the mental health center how the group is typically run. I have helped run coping skills groups before as a...

  6. Anyone out there in pediatrics?

    pinkiepie_RN posted a topic in Maryland Nursing

    I've got a couple of questions relating to jobs in the peds field in the Baltimore area. I'm interested in working at Hopkins or UMMC when I graduate and hopefully I'll get my senior practicum at one...

  7. I'd just like to remind some of y'all...

    pinkiepie_RN replied to Bortaz's topic in General Students

    Well I'm taking my preceptorship over winter break, but I never thought of it like that. I'm a May grad too! It is nearly

  8. Class Question

    pinkiepie_RN replied to meikee02's topic in General Students

    I don't think it should matter which day you take it on. I know my assignment load was different for each class and if I had a test in both of them during the same week, so what? And ditto to the...

  9. How far do you drive to nursing school?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to WSnurse2b's topic in General Students

    I used to live on campus and now live about 3 miles from campus, about a 10 minute drive in traffic and between 5-45 minutes to find a parking space depending on the time of day. I drive 45 minutes...

  10. My clinical instructor infuriates me!!

    pinkiepie_RN replied to jenawade25's topic in General Students

    One thing I can say to this that I rarely ever hear on this forum is something like the clinical experience I had last quarter. I had the complete opposite of this instructor type: a pushover. She...

  11. What Does Your Grade Consist Of?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to mike1973's topic in General Students

    In most of my classes, although clinical itself is pass/fail, there are typically projects assigned in clinical such as teaching plans or case studies that are graded and part of our final grade....

  12. Crohns and ulcerative colitis...

    pinkiepie_RN replied to DN08's topic in General Students

    Yeah that! I think that's the best explanation I've heard so

  13. Towson University

    pinkiepie_RN replied to Unique87's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I go to Towson University and feel that it's a fine school. Those rankings are for graduate school anyway and Towson doesn't have a very big graduate program, which might account for its ranking....

  14. How long will it take me to complete these courses?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to Weber's topic in General Students

    http://www.towson.edu/nursing/undergraduate/basic/freshsophcourse_sequence.asp This is what my college recommended for pre-reqs. It took about 2

  15. ultrasound vs nursing?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to 2bnursesim22's topic in General Students

    Are you taking clinicals yet? I know nursing school is hard and sometimes it's not fun, but do you want to be a nurse. I'd still like to hear why you want to be a nurse. Every time I fell down and...

  16. ultrasound vs nursing?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to 2bnursesim22's topic in General Students

    Make a pros and cons list if you have to for yourself. But think about it before quitting. Shadow a nurse. Do you like nursing, at least the idea of it? Do you find your classes stimulating and...

  17. 15 and 30 minute safety checks

    pinkiepie_RN replied to Apexx's topic in Psychiatric

    15 minute checks include pts location, activity, time, and initials of person who is documenting. 30 minute checks include pts location, time, and initials. Locations also sorta include activities...

  18. ultrasound vs nursing?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to 2bnursesim22's topic in General Students

    If I remember correctly, you were posting here a few months ago saying that you were considering radiology vs. nursing. IMHO, they're two completely different fields, although both health related....

  19. OB clinicals for males

    pinkiepie_RN replied to NursingIs4CoolPeople's topic in General Students

    There was a guy in my OB rotation and the only adaptation my instructor really made is that she asked all the potential patients if they were ok with having a male nursing student work with them, and...

  20. Goals for student externship

    pinkiepie_RN posted a topic in General Students

    I'm applying for a student nurse residency (externship) at University of Maryland Medical Center for this upcoming summer. I've got several questions and I'm hoping you all can help me out here. I...

  21. Goals for student externship

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Students

  22. Disgusted With School

    pinkiepie_RN replied to Knok_Turn_Al's topic in General Students

    What does this care plan cover? I know for each semester we had to do a case study, which was basically a big care plan (at least 25-30 pages) and it covered medications, patho, and nursing...

  23. What age is Child Psych?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to Shell5's topic in Psychiatric

  24. Does any one know

    pinkiepie_RN replied to blynn9173's topic in General Students

    Well I know "APE to MAN" for the heart sounds, if that helps. Aortic, pulmonary, Erb's point, Tricuspid,

  25. How quickly we forget

    pinkiepie_RN replied to lemonaidangel's topic in General Students

    I too am a senior and I find myself totally relating to what you have to say. Juniors come through where I work and they're scared out of their minds! Apparently at least 5 people failed junior...
