  1. First paper due and still have no clue

    ok2bme replied to downy's topic in General Students

    Yuck! That's a lot of stuff, but at least it's not busywork, it actually sounds applicable to nursing school and practice. It sounds like you're on the right track, and just need some direction with...

  2. BSN Programs

    ok2bme replied to Serena71's topic in General Students

    Every BSN program I researched requires about 2 years of pre-requisites. Here are the classes required for my program (Texas A&M): -2 English courses -2 History courses -1 Chemistry with lab -2...

  3. role of nursing diagnosis versus doctor diagnosis?

    ok2bme replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing diagnoses are a great teaching tool. But that's where they should stay. In the clinical setting, I find them embarrassing to our profession..they are either: 1) written by fruity space cadets,...

  4. Does anyone else find nursing school... easy?

    ok2bme replied to Guerilla04's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I went to an accelerated BSN program and I found it easier than my first degree. In nursing school, I crammed 12 hours for each test, bs'd a lot of care plans, treated clinical like a job, and...

  5. Religion and Nursing

    ok2bme replied to tryingpatsy's topic in General Nursing

    [color=#48d1cc]1. what do you classify your religion as? agnostic 2. has it ever effected your work? sure, i think it allows me to be non-judgmental and open-minded with pts, as i respect and consider...

  6. I can't hear a thing!

    ok2bme replied to Sprouts's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  7. How many of you are on prescription drugs for anxiety, depression, mental health?

    ok2bme replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    I'm on Anafranil for OCD and bulimia..I don't think nursing has anything to do with my condition and medication

  8. RN or radiology technician

    ok2bme replied to aya123's topic in General Students

    If I could do it all over again..I'd be a diagnostic medical sonographer. Relative to RNs, they get at least as much pay, more autonomy, 1:1 patient interaction, better job prospects, less poop,...

  9. What is the Diff LVN and RN!!! help!

    ok2bme replied to ladybugme!'s topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations!! I live in Texas too, and I agree that LVN's and RN's are essentially indistinguishable. There is one big difference though..the pay! Expect to get about half of RN's even though you...

  10. Stethoscope colors...HELP!

    ok2bme replied to oguesswhat's topic in General Nursing

    well i'm a purple freak but out of the colors you listed i'd pick ciel blue..but it's up to you, have fun with it! with so many institutions mandating scrub colors (navy, bleh) it's one of the few...

  11. "technician" dispensing meds under RN's licence (??)

    ok2bme replied to laurasc's topic in General Nursing

    I always thought Med Techs were a great addition to healthcare..they get specialty training and take care of most of the PO's, very efficient in LTC, lets the nurses focus on assessments such. But I...

  12. Ready to go MD... but actually chose nursing!

    ok2bme replied to lovepink88's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I would have gone the med school route..you have a great opportunity, one many dream about but don't have the potential and/or drive to pursue. I hope you re-consider. Best of

  13. Does being a nurse tech help with finding a job?

    ok2bme replied to caramello's topic in General Students

    It will absolutely make you more competitive. It is considered relevant clinical experience, and it also looks good that you can juggle work with nursing school, some hospitals even give differentials...

  14. Failed 2 fundamentals tests!!!

    ok2bme replied to ohmylove's topic in General Students

    Are they HESI tests/standardized tests? If so, forget the book and lecture notes, okay not completely..but focus on NCLEX study books, I loved the big maroon Hogan book and the blue Saunders one. This...

  15. regretting nursing school??

    ok2bme replied to Val_998's topic in General Students

    Me too..I saw nursing as a way to get to nyc. Having already had a degree, I impulsively applied to accelerated BSN programs, graduated last August. Turns out the economy sucks for nurses in nyc..the...

  16. help! NZ nurse would like go to U.S.A

    ok2bme replied to lazzybee.a's topic in International Nursing

    Yes definitely consider to going to school there! I've already graduated..so it will only be feasible for me to move there once I get a year of experience, (I hopefully start this January), then I'll...

    ok2bme replied to Dramaangel621's topic in First Year After Licensure

    con[color=yellow]gratulations! do you mind sharing some of the questions they asked

  20. Question for other BSN Students

    ok2bme replied to SnoopysAunt's topic in General Students

    :icon_roll I think these comments are condescending and I agree with the OP. My BS in microbiology at Texas A&M had extremely high expectations, and it was much more challenging than my...

  21. NON-Nurses Giving Shots in MD Offices

    ok2bme replied to nyforlove's topic in General Nursing

    :icon_roll Get over it. Many Medical Assistants have 1-2 years of education, if not an associates degree, something not even required for Nurses. In many states they are licensed and authorized to to...

  22. Enjoyable Depression

    ok2bme replied to markuskristian's topic in General Nursing

    This is interesting but in my opinion no it's possible to enjoy depression or even be comfortable with it as the status quo. If either of these do occur in a pt, I think s/he would no longer fulfill...

  25. WOW!!!!!!!!!

    ok2bme replied to mRpeNa's topic in Psychiatric

    I agree..2 days is not nearly enough, but I am hearing this more and more from nursing students. Their programs are obsessed with Med/Surg and specialty clinicals, especially non-medical ones are...
