As a recent grad I am ready to start applying for some jobs, however I am wondering about many hospitals' online application process. Is this the most professional way to go about this? Should I really copy and paste my resume, or fax one in? Better ...

Wow, some of you guys are really letting some underlying bitterness spew forth.......maybe you need a little sexy in your lives?

It has something to do with the fact that there are special loans your parents (rather than yourself) can take out for your schooling if you are in certain programs

Let's see...I think Jbudd covered a lot....maybe a family member acted in a way that made you realize you need to treat them differently? Maybe you did have an epihpany, like...working on such a floor might have caused you to change your view on life...

I usually get the mid-class lazies. After studying hard for the first batch of grades I tend to burn out a little...then after seeing my non-perfect grades I buck up and study hard for the last tests/skills

I used to feel the same way reading these posts! Dont worry, though. It's not as scary as you think its going to be, and you pick up on things quickly!

I assumed (by being told during orientation) that as students we are not to chart on the pts chart, that was for the primary nurse. I thought we would have our own papers to be recording our findings. So, I go to my first clinical today and am told t...

Why are you the most awful clinical instructor I could have ever asked for???

If you are unable to assess a certain area, you should be able to document something like "unable to assess due to confusion," just dont leave it blank!

Don't get down on yourself! I'm sure most students make mistakes, you are learning after all. I have found personally that if I am scared I am going to do a poor job, I usually do. You just have to take a deep breath, tell yourself you can do it and ...

Yes! My husband and I are currently living with my family so we can afford my schooling. I have a very-part time postition as an aide. I feel like I can't go on living with the fam anymore, so I have been looking for a different job that I can work i...

a whirlpool tub! I just can't imagine how relaxing life would be if you took a whirlpool bath every day.

Unless they are high during clinicals, absolutely nothing.

I definitely wouldn't bring a teachers edition to class or show it to any of my fellow students, but I'd definitely be looking over it at home!

So, I've been begrudgingly working through my pre-clinical dosage calculation class without a calculator, as required. It has me wondering, I know as nurses we wont always be able to use a calculator, but is it true that we will NEVER use them??? Tha...

"no she did not: schizophrenic pt on psyche ward says he can walk on water: nursing student pours a glass of water on floor and told him to go ahead " hahahahaha That's hilarious I once asked a patient who had a double mastectomy in the past where he...

No! Absolutely not, how embarrassing! I think the instructor needs to make the decision on whether or not her odor is too foul. If she thinks it is, she can make the necessary actions. It's easier coming from an authority figure than from your peers.

I start my RN clinicals in January at the Lancaster campus! I didn't know the PDA was required. Yikes, nursing is expensive.

I TOTALLY feel your pain. I am pre-nursing, awaiting my letter, and am scared to death that I will fall to depression during my clinicals, and that it will be my undoing.

I am pretty set on child/adolescent psych, but I wont know for sure till after clinical rotations. I think labor and delivery would be awesome, but I know I'd just cry every time the baby comes out.

Yay! Me too. I am finishing up my application this week. Exciting, isnt it?

Thank God this semester's over!!!! Micro-B A&P2-A English(comp2)-A Comparative Religion-A Self Defense-A

In order to get into our nursing program, we have to complete a dosage calculations test. Does anybody have any idea what kind of questions are covered on such tests?

I work in a retirement home on a locked unit. The activities department is mediocre to say the least, and a lot of our residents spend a great deal of time each day sitting in their rooms or in the hall not doing much. There are a couple of activity-...
