1. HELP,HELP,HELP,HELP,HELP--student nurse in distress

   2banurse replied to prairiegirl's topic in Nursing Career

   These are the stories I love to hear...hearing about phobias of sticking needles and winding up becoming a specialist in just that. Thank you,

2. About to Quit Before I even get there :(

   2banurse replied to prairiegirl's topic in General Nursing

   Hi Laura, I have to agree with many of the posts that have been posted. I, too, worry about the stresses of nursing school and also have some of the self-doubt you have. About whether or not you...

3. Dealing with doctors.....

   2banurse replied to fourbirds4me's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I definitely don't think you did anything wrong. I know as a patient I would definitely appreciate your being there versus the doctor. I think his acting out like he is his problem. You did...

4. Feeling Overwhelmed!

   2banurse replied to Ang00's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Of course you feel overwhelmed...it is new for you, but before you know it, you will be precepting a new nurse and you'll be sharing your experiences. And like you said, the doctor was a...

5. Elderly patients: First name or Mr/Mrs?

   2banurse replied to laurasc's topic in General Nursing

   It is such a reflex but I would feel uncomfortable not saying Mr. or Mrs. ____. I still call my best friend's parents by Mr. and Mrs. although I've known them for almost 40 years. I actually cringe...

6. So discouraged over A&P, ready to give up nursing plans

   2banurse replied to evi's topic in General Students

   Hi Evi, as a returning student I felt the same way and I always do during the first week or so of class. I honestly feel that it is a way for the professors to let some students know that they are...

7. Love NICU, hate med-surg?

   2banurse replied to KarenAR's topic in NICU, Neonatal

   I think that until you really start working as a nurse, not doing your clinicals, you will not get the full experience. If med-surg is not for you, it's not for you. Since you have said that you did...

8. "The View" insults nursing

   2banurse replied to SandySummers's topic in General Nursing

   Although I definitely don't agree with the View and its depiction of nursing, I don't think that it will have an effect on those wanting to become nurses. Those that really want to become a nurse...

9. my first venipuncture

   2banurse replied to ava'smomRN's topic in General Students

   Yesterday, I had to go myself for blood work and I was totally amazed at the phlebotomist who took my blood. She did it so fast (and absolutely no bruising at all). For me, I thought it was a great...

10. Radiology Nurse Question

    2banurse replied to nograd's topic in Radiology

    Hi dianah, I too, would like to thank you. I've always been interested in radiology, and should I be accepted into the ADN program, this is the route I wish to go. Thank you for giving a clearer view...

11. Columbia vs. SUNY Stoneybrook - Does name matter?

    2banurse replied to talldollNYC's topic in General Students

    You are a Godsend, -jt, thank you very much. I was going by what I saw on both the NYU Medical Center and Mount Sinai Hospital Websites, both of which seemed to emphasize BSN. Thanks, again,

12. Malpractice Insurance: Having your own policy is a NECESSITY

    2banurse replied to -jt's topic in General Students

    Great advice cyberkat, it is amazing how expensive it can be for legal fees.

13. Has anyone taken English classes online?

    2banurse replied to ctyler98's topic in General Students

    I haven't taken any online classes myself, I need to be physically present. However, if this is for a English Comp class, it'll pretty much be comprised of a lot of writing, essays, a paper, etc. It...

14. Columbia vs. SUNY Stoneybrook - Does name matter?

    2banurse replied to talldollNYC's topic in General Students

    -jt, first thank you for the information which is most appreciated. Second, is it possible to get a position in one of the NYC hospitals if you receive your RN through an ADN program, or is a BSN a...

15. Columbia vs. SUNY Stoneybrook - Does name matter?

    2banurse replied to talldollNYC's topic in General Students

    Well, it is my intention that when I finish my RN, I will move back up to NY (I can't wait!). The thing is, to work in Manhattan, most hospitals require a BSN. I myself am trying to decide if I...
