  4. I'll be a new student Jan '05. Any tips?

    nursbee04 replied to foqus's topic in General Nursing

  6. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

    nursbee04 replied to Brian's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Let me clarify what an ADN is: First you do your general/core requirements (anat & phys, micro, english, chemistry, prob & stat, finite math, history, electives). This takes most people two...

    nursbee04 replied to Clarvina Streisand's topic in General Nursing

    nursbee04 replied to FutureNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I was wondering the same

  9. CNA for BSN

    nursbee04 replied to FutureNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I am in an ADN program, and we don't require CNA. In fact, I don't think I've ever heard of any program that requires it around here. I began working as a nurse tech (like a CNA but I do assessments,...

    nursbee04 replied to reyna's topic in General Nursing

  12. IL Supreme Court Rules Only Nurses Can Testify on the Standard of Care for Nurses

    nursbee04 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That's true, doctors can be kind, but when is the last time you saw a physician turn/change/give pericare to a patient? Is that something else they refrain from "bragging" about constantly? Peeps,...

  14. Low Down on Nursing Education

    nursbee04 replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, I read this at least a couple of times to make sure you are saying what I think you are...Initially it really ticked me off, but now I think its kind of sad. All I can say is no wonder there is...

  15. Learning Injections on EACH OTHER

    nursbee04 replied to kbeachworth's topic in General Nursing

    We were given a choice to refuse, but most of us did practice on each other. For IM we just gave a shot in the deltoid, you all probably won't do all the IM sites (at least I hope not). I gave a...

  16. My teacher humiliated me in front of the class

    nursbee04 replied to twintoo's topic in General Students

    Don't let yourself be stepped on because of this one incident. You just have to learn when to stand up for yourself and when to be quiet. Calling out your instructor in front of the group is...

  18. Chi Eta Phi?

    nursbee04 replied to LuvaNurse04's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think anyone was saying that it counts more if it comes from an organization. A good deed is a good deed, whether or not it has a name attached to it. Organizations can sometimes just...

  19. Cheating In School

    nursbee04 replied to cokie's topic in General Nursing

    nursbee04 replied to vaughanmk's topic in General Students

    I'm in medsurg right now, and we have our clinicals on Saturdays, from 6:45am to 6:00pm, then we do post conference. This goes all semester. I'm pretty sure its the same amount for peds and psych,...

    nursbee04 replied to Rootbear76's topic in General Students
