  1. Nursing Shortage?

    foreverLaur replied to mboulis's topic in Ohio Nursing

    If you want it - do it. I'm a nursing student in Columbus, OH and there are jobs here if you look hard enough

  2. question:flat foot any advice

    foreverLaur replied to tishluvnc's topic in General Nursing

    I also have flat feet that cause me problems and will need to have reconstructive surgery on one of my feet before I am 30. It is a chronic problem. I have seen four orthopaedic surgeons. I had...

  3. Toradol use in L&D

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So how, as nursers, do we know when it is OK to "ignore" black box warnings and when it is something we should really be concerned about? The drug guides just list all the

  4. Problems with verifying my past employment

    foreverLaur replied to kerussll's topic in General Nursing

    I feel your pain. I put a college internship in business on mine and the large nationwide company doesn't verify employment for interns as they don't consider us "employees." I lost a job over it...

  5. PA work under an NP

    foreverLaur replied to Birdbr's topic in General Nursing

    No. NPs and PAs are both mid-level providers. The best analogy I can come up with is it being like requiring an associate degree RN to work under a bachelors degree RN. In the end, PAs and NPs do...

  6. Pain: prioritized #1 or not?

    foreverLaur replied to SN_glee's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Agree with the above poster about Maslow's - that is always drilled into our head in nursing school!! ABCs, then think

  7. 2nd degree student, having financial aid issues--anyone else?

    foreverLaur replied to NurseMaybeBaby's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Same situation!! I also have a previous bachelors degree and was banned from financial aid initially. They granted me 30 credit hours to finish my degree from a petition I submitted and a course list...

  8. My Guide To Making The Grade And Maintaining Your Sanity

    foreverLaur replied to Tree525's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    As much as I appreciate the advice, some of it doesn't apply to me. We just had an exam review for my first OB test (2nd quarter of nursing school ADN program). I would say a sold 30%-40% of the...

  9. Volunteering in Maternity and PP-what do I need to know?

    foreverLaur replied to MadameFreckles's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Moms love to talk and tell their stories. I'm doing my clinical on a postpartum floor now and that's what I have really noticed. The nurses don't have time to sit and listen to their stories,...

  10. Clinical Post Conference

    foreverLaur replied to lansgrl123's topic in General Students

    The hospital I am doing my clinical at does that. Each nurse does bedside reporting and then everyone meets in the conference room for huddle and each nurse gives a quick run down on his or her...

  11. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    foreverLaur replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You aren't the first person I have heard that from. I have never spoken with a RN who did a RN-BSN program and found it useful. They ALL said it was a big waste of time and

  12. starting clinicals this fall

    foreverLaur replied to Piper17's topic in General Students

    I was very nervous when I had my first clinical, but the words just end up coming naturally. Your fellow students are very supportive and your instructor should also be very supportive. I never felt...

  13. Looking for $$ for school...

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in General Students

    I don't qualify for a Pell Grant because I already have a bachelors degree. I am contingent at the hospital so I do not qualify for any benefits (including tuition reimbursement). It is also a...

  14. Looking for $$ for school...

    foreverLaur posted a topic in General Students

    I'm having a hard time finding legitiate scholarships to help out with nursing school. My full-time job wouldn't let me go part-time so I have a PRN job only. My family is helping me out some, but...

  15. Clinical Post Conference

    foreverLaur replied to lansgrl123's topic in General Students

    I am a current nursing student who is not a fan of post-conference. We do it the last hour of clinical. Personally, I don't really care to sit around and talk about our feelings about the day. I...

  16. Why does anyone go into nursing?

    foreverLaur replied to guineapiglover2011's topic in General Students

    Hospitals oddly make me happy. Doing my job, even as a student nurse, brings me a satisfaction that I cannot explain. $60,000 a year or so is fantastic for a 2 year degree. Yes, starting salary is...

  17. How do go from ADN to MSN.. Skip BSN? what?

    foreverLaur replied to Enza's topic in General Nursing

    There are two ways you can get your answer. We can Google for you and tell you or you can Google it yourself. It is probably time you start learning to do some things on your own. This is a forum...

  18. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    foreverLaur replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Really? My ADN program as the exact same science coursework (independent, not integrated into nursing classes) than all the are BSN programs and the RN-BSN programs all require that coursework to be...

  19. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    foreverLaur replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    IMO, a nurse got did an ADN then RN-BSN should be equal to a nurse that just did a

  20. ****** off at CSCC

    foreverLaur replied to notallwhowander's topic in Ohio Nursing

    The 100 textbook I used a lot (Health & Physical Assessment). You definitely need it for lab more than anything. You will also want the Handbook of Nursing Diagnosis (which I think they list as...

  21. ****** off at CSCC

    foreverLaur replied to notallwhowander's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I found lecture very valuable - something I didn't in undergrad. However, they typically record lectures and post them on BlackBoard so if you know you will listen to them later, you can skip...

  22. Hondros

    foreverLaur replied to jessc16's topic in Ohio Nursing

    It depends on whether or not they get their National League of Nursing Accreditation. It also varies by school. Since they are pretty new, some schools will accept transfer credits, some won't, some...

  23. ****** off at CSCC

    foreverLaur replied to notallwhowander's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Likely the content is very similar, but the page numbers will be very different. It will be your responsibility to figure out where you need to read in your book. IMO, if you attend the lectures and...

  24. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    foreverLaur replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It is quite common for ADN programs to be similar to BSN programs where the programs are in the same city. My ADN program shares curriculum, books, tests, and professors when the major 4 year...

  25. AAS RN vs. bachelors RN

    foreverLaur replied to Enza's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    They have been saying BSN will be the minimum requirement for RNs since at least the 70s and there are still a ton of ADN prepared RNs. It would only hurt the already existing nursing shortage by...
