Are your clincial grades figured into your overall grade? How many hours a week do you spend in class, just nursing class. I really need to know so thanks so much to all willing to take time to answer.
I just found out that the place where I'm doing my externship will be paying the new male nurses more money than they will for their female hires. Is this happening everywhere are just in the south?When questioned they have a lame reason stating male...
Glad to hear you like my home town, Baptist used to been a great training place for nurses, sounds like maybe they still are.Sometimes I think I'd like to move back but we've been in a small town for so long now I'm not sure I'd like big city living ...
I think nursing caps should be worn and white uniforms as well, what happened to those student nurse uniforms, I know most don't agree but it has really gotten to the point that a nurse looks like a housekeeper in most places around here, untill late...
Was feeling a little down until I came here to see what you were up to, wonderful light hearted feelings now!!! Thanks for the laughs!!! I'm one of those over the hill nursing students and for now my pockets are pretty empty, clinicals start in a fe...
:) My great Aunt told me your only "old" when you tell yourself you are!She was in her ninities and still baking christmas cookies for the whole neighborhood, she is dearly missed but her wisdom lives on! I'm 53 and will turn 54 shortly after starti...
To all you "GUYS" out there, welcome to nursing, hopeing more of you come on board, your needed for far more than back strength!!! I know lots of men who would have made wounderful nurses had the ranks moved away from the preset ideal that it was a w...
Loads of good advise here, boils down to what is most important to you! My husband didn't want to help with children so I put off nursing until they were grown, I'm going to be another 50s plus graduate but I'm okay with it and so are the younger stu...
Hi, northeast conner of Ms. here, the little town known a few years back as the place to sneak off to and get married! Attending ADN classes at Northeast, at least when they start back up in Jan.. Glad to meet everyone!!:)
Thank you so-oooo much for sharing your note and thoughts! As a student nurse it has ment more to me than you can ever know! We are hearing far to much negative stuff about nursing, hope more will share some of the positive--- you have tons of studen...
Sorry to butt in here with a question but as a student things like this really leave me wondering if at my age ( 53) I should continue going to school, I'm being taught that it is the RN who is responsible for everything and everyone ! We are told th...
To Sandy from Sandy, my hometown is Nashville,at least it's where I was born and then spent my teen years. Still have family there and don't get back as often as I'd like, it has really grown fast the past few years. I'm in a not so large town in no...
My LD clinical started out awful because we were there on a slow day, myself and another fellow student spent most of the day sitting in their break room wishing we had brought books to study , really!! Just about 1hr. before we were to leave our ins...
You may find new nurses scared to do lots of things because it is being drilled into us that any action we take may send us straight into court. Don't say it this way charting. some times it leaves us feeling like we're lieing about everything just t...
Babe going to her cornor on this one ,except for two things, 1st. some timrs in typing so fast spelling mistakes just happen, the head often works faster than the fingers, 2nd. I'd like to know results of nursing shortages in other countries so keep ...
Canoehead thanks for the point about using your fingers at babies head, sounds great, hope I can remember it when in clinicals if I get a chance to put it to work! Last time I got to watch a C-S and it was great. Thanks again for the pointer!
You have gotten some great advise here! My instructor told me about what you've read here, no time for yourself and no sleep sets you up for failing. It has been proven that to much time at the study table is as bad as no time so give yourself those ...
