hello everyone! does anybody know of a website where you can download nursing skills videos for free? all of the websites i've browsed are asking for fees. thanks in advance!:wink2::bowingpur

Hello everyone! I just graduated last April from my BSN, and just took the NLE for the local boards last June 6-7. What should I take next, CGFNS or NCLEX? What are the qualifications for both to be able to take the exams? What are the procedures? Sh...

I agree with the others. You have to be proficient on both sexes. In the real hospital setting, you can't choose which gender to assess. :)

bsn junior here! a second courser and wishing that i should have decided on taking nursing sooner!! good luck and God Bless!!!:xmas_smilies_daz:

hi there! i'm 42 and a bsn junior. so, i'd be graduating at 43. in between my store, two kids (ages 10 and 14), and nursing school, i still was able to get an average of 1.75 for this semester (that's between 90-94 GPA). age doesn't stop you from doi...

:biere:i'm a bsn junior and i'm 42 years old. most of my classmates are half my age. its really not that hard as i thought it would be. the person who is at the top of my batch is a 40 year old single mother (she's juggling her bsn studies with her b...

:angryfirepressure, pressure, pressure!!! it's what makes or breaks a man!! behind all these, just remember .... "a diamond is just a chunk of coal that made good under pressure!!!"

some think that it is a weakness or not masculine for men to cry. i totally disagree with this premise, being human, we are capable of emotion. it is just culture or our upbringing which dictates or has inculcated into our minds that men (specially t...

at bambang in manila (just alight at the bambang lrt station). there are lots of stores selling medical supplies and ready-made scrub suits with different colors and sizes there.

yes this was also the instruction given to us by our clinical instructors, once the patient gets to know that you are counting their respiration, they do try to regulate their breathing pattern.

i agree with NurseguyFL. most of the registered straight guy nurses i know thrive on pressure at er and icu. probably because guys have more knack on the technical side with the use of all the medical equipment than females. some guy nurses i know en...

a second courser here and it will take me 2 years to finish BSN. welcome to the club!:biere:

:caduceus:i'm 41, a father of 2 kids, and now a junior BSN. you are never too old to learn. learning is a continuous process. GO FOR IT!!

:smokin:i'm 41, a father of two, previously worked as a pharmaceutical representative for a multinational company and now a 3rd year BSN student. learning is a continuous process, it doesn't stop or slow down with age!!!:pumpiron:

i worked as a pharmaceutical representative for 15 years. i was exposed to clinics and hospitals mainly for pharmaceutical promotions. never in my life did i have in mind of actually becoming a frontline healthcare worker. 4 years ago i rushed my mom...

the school i'm in gives recognition for academic excellence for garnering the highest averages in the major subjects (PHC I & II along with their respective RLEs, Anatomy & Physiology, N100, STS, MedTerm, Nutri & MicroPara).

pinoy 3rd year nursing student here from lucena city!!! this actually is my 3rd course (if you would count my masters as another course). anyway, hope to know more of you all and hope to be working out there with you...

BSN is actually my third course (AB Sociology at UST and took up Masters in Management Technology at DLSU Lipa). well... the school i'm in also require us to attend sportsfests and acquaintance parties with the same threat of 1-7 ( 1 absence equivale...

:wink2: i'm on my third year at Calayan Educational Foundation (BSN). finished AB Sociology at the University of Santo Tomas. took up Masters in Management Technology at De la Salle Lipa.

i agree with seno on "There are more nursing schools now and so many nursing graduates. These schools have become mere diploma mills," Seno said. ever since there was an increase in demand for nurses in the States and in other countries abroad, there...

i currently am a third year nursing student... but a "third courser. i have finished A.B. Sociology and took up Master in Mnagement Technology. When it was time for our first day at clinicals, i thought that my age, experience of having been in marke...

i was on duty at the e.r. once when we received a 2 year old female child with hematomas and cigarrette burns on her legs, back and forearms. having two kids myself, my heart really went for that child. she was brought in by her grandmother. having l...

:chuckle i am a student nurse myself and have noticed also that SOME student doctors are snobbish and rude. probably their rudeness and snobbishness is a defence mechanism; they are afraid of committing mistakes due to their lack of experience:wink2:...

i haven't had any problems so far with the patients that i have handled, in fact, most of them are grateful because they have extra hands to care for them. although some new students have "the shakes" when confronted with a complicated case or a diff...

:pumpiron:yeah, some may think that having a beard may be somewhat unprofessional; some say it doesn't. i think what matters most are your competencies in doing your duties, bearded or not. still... in a profession comprised predominantly by women, ...
