  2. Anyone else feel like they haven't praticed enough skills?

    pinkiepie_RN posted a topic in General Students

    Okay guys, this may sound like a silly question but here goes anyway. I'm learning why people recommend doing a year of med/surg after graduation: time management, perfecting skills, etc. I'm a...

  3. Anyone else feel like they haven't praticed enough skills?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Students

    Heh, I'll tell you what I'm supposed to be doing in the second half (the nursing part) of my BS program...only 1 semester of med surg and the rest is specialty training that I may not ever use! I...

  4. Anyone else feel like they haven't praticed enough skills?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Students

    Ahh yes, I keep forgetting that between this semester I'm approaching and my final semester I have a preceptorship. I'm really excited about getting that in. I know at work I keep begging to start...

  5. Anyone else feel like they haven't praticed enough skills?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Students

    As far as going to open lab, we only had that during semester one. I'm entering semester three of four and I will graduate with a BS in nursing. Skills are learned first semester and then that's it....

  6. Shift to the right

    pinkiepie_RN replied to s_le2006's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That's what I learned to be the definition of "shift to the right" when I took med-surg last semester. I think that's really all I was told to know and I don't even remember being tested on it....

  7. Question about nursing school

    pinkiepie_RN replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I'll second everyone else. I only ever dissected a cat and being a cat person, I would have almost rather worked with a human cadaver. There's something really eerie about working with a cat...

  8. What is your stress relief during nursing school?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to mzjennx's topic in General Students

    Definitely agree with this statement. I also have pet rats, and they make lovely stress relievers when they're not scratching lol. Reading magazines like Cosmo and Glamour also are good stress...

  9. getting up early

    pinkiepie_RN replied to shrimpchips's topic in General Students

    I feel lucky in that I've been granted the option of having 3-11 clinicals this semester instead of 7-3 clinicals. That said, I've been working 7-3 with some alternating 3-11 shifts in for good...

  10. Sex and Nursing School

    pinkiepie_RN replied to motyandproudofit's topic in General Students

    Well this is where I say that sometimes I'm glad I'm in a semi-long distance relationship. My significant other of 4 years lives about 75 miles (1.5 hours in a car) away from me when I'm here at...

  12. Interview questions for a tech position

    pinkiepie_RN posted a topic in Emergency

    I know posts about interview questions come up alot, but I feel I have a different situation than most. I am a senior level nursing student and will be interviewing for a job as a tech in the...

  13. Pediatrics

    pinkiepie_RN posted a topic in Maryland Nursing

    Hi guys! I have recently had the revelation that I want to go into pediatric nursing when I graduate in May 2009. I have to stay in Maryland as I have the HRSA scholarship, but that's okay. I like...

  14. Pediatrics

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thanks and I'll cross my fingers that nursing school counts as experience! Before I saw and inquired about this job posting I had no idea that the peds dept included the ER. I knew that peds was in...

  15. Pediatrics

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thanks! I actually got a call and have an interview all lined up for two weeks from now with the director of Peds at GBMC. I will definitely look into the orientation programs and keep my mind

  16. A&P I Online BCCC

    pinkiepie_RN replied to Fallon's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I don't know about the online versions but I took A&P II there two summers ago. Both my lab and lecture instructors had very very thick African accents and sometimes it was hard to understand...

    pinkiepie_RN replied to gab.rielle's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I go to Towson and will be a senior in their nursing program in the fall. PM me if I can be of any assistance to you. I really like the program and know RNs who think nurses that come out of my...

  18. Medical Terminology quiz preparation

    pinkiepie_RN replied to Aaronsmom06's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Your school didn't offer you a study guide or practice questions of any sort? I'm also located in Maryland at Towson University *waves* and while we have to pass a medication dosage exam at the...

  19. New Student: Please Help( I would really appreciate it)

    pinkiepie_RN replied to Readytohelppeople's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There is a study guide with practice questions from ERI, the people who make the NET. I know my school had copies of the book on loan for us to study with before we took the

  20. transfer from another nursing program? help!

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pe5322's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Are you saying that because one school accepted you and others rejected you that you feel the one that accepted you is not as good of a program as the others? That doesn't make much sense and I...

  21. Facility handles codes???

    pinkiepie_RN replied to aloevera's topic in Psychiatric

    In the facility I work at, behavioral codes are called "code greens" or staff calls. A code is called and a pager goes off on each of the units calling and asking for more help. The charge delegates...

  22. What kind of lunch box do you have?

    pinkiepie_RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've recently gotten into packing my lunch at work (I'm a nurse tech, but I think this is applicable across the board) and have been just sticking everything in a plastic bag and hoping it's ok in the...
