    Hello to all! I am a second semester junior nursing student looking for nursing experience and I have just been offered a CNA-type job (official title of mental health worker) per diem in a local...

  2. Per diem in a psychiatric hospital

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in Psychiatric

    Tell me about classroom orientation. My recruiter told me that because I'm a nursing student and have my CNA, the 8 hour a day x 5 days classroom orientation will be mainly review for me. What did...

    pinkiepie_RN replied to moomoo111's topic in General Students

    How often are you taking this test? It may be that you're stressing out more and more about it each consecutive time you take the test. I took the Growth and Development ERI in Fundamentals last...

  7. case study on a diabetic question

    pinkiepie_RN replied to studentmumof4's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Opioids and NSAIDs are both analgesics, though they have different actions and properties. Hope this helps. BTW, I don't think littlenurse27 was out of line with her remark about plagiarism....

  8. Want become a nurse, but have a fear

    pinkiepie_RN replied to Coleman21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The closest I've been to a dead body was the cat we had to dissect in Anatomy and I made my lab partners touch it. I know in medical school they study pathology with real dead human cadavers, but...

  9. Hospital job with no experience???

    pinkiepie_RN replied to bpo93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're looking to shadow, I don't think most hospitals have "programs" for shadowing. Just ask a nurse and have her talk to her manager to get the okay. As for finding jobs, check out local...

  13. Medical Abbr font?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah I got it, I just didn't grasp that Character Map was a program external to MS Word. I thought I could just insert it like a special symbol. I'll keep playing around with it.

  14. Instructors: do you ever get used to being the enemy?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Well I'm a student and I just browsed this thread out of curiosity. I think if you want to connect with the students, then you should probably post something like this on the student board. That...

  15. Fundraising ideas needed...

    pinkiepie_RN replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    pinkiepie_RN replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    pinkiepie_RN replied to ilovematt48's topic in General Students

    pinkiepie_RN replied to durkadurk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Let me just say that I got into nursing school with a 3.2 cumulative GPA (can't remember what my pre-req GPA was) and was 1 out of 75 students chosen out of 250. I did have to write an essay...
