  1. Where to start?

    Tanya - I don't mean to be rude, but I am well aware of the problems new grads are facing. It's the exact reason for my post. I think you would have to live under a rock not to know that. I want to...
  2. Nurse pay vs. cost of living

    In addition to what has already been stated, there is a huge difference between rent and mortgage prices. We were looking into renting when we moved here but we ended up living with my mom for 15...
  3. NVCC Cost and Pre-requisites

    Your question is going to be very hard to answer without knowing what you've already taken. Are you planning on moving to VA or are you going to pay out of state tuition throughout the program?...

    Thanks for the advice. I am definitely going to start calling around and working on my resume asap! I had no idea I needed to start looking this
  5. Operation Job Before Graduation!

    I would like to piggy back on the original post if I may. :) I already live here in the area and will be graduating from NOVA in May. I have no idea when or where to start looking for a job but from...
  6. NVCC RN v GMU accelerated BSN RN

    I'm a nursing student at NVCC and just wanted to point out that Inova would not offer a nursing scholarship (The Carolyn R. MacLane - Inova Nursing Scholarship) to ADN students if they weren't willing...
  7. Pregnancy: best during nursing school or as a new hire?

    What a hard decision to make. I went through this same dilemma, except with my second child. You can even read through my old posts about it. Long story short we chose to have a baby during the summer...
  8. i originally posted this in the oncology section (where i am doing clinicals), but haven't received a response yet. for my nursing management course i need to interview a charge nurse (preferably...
  9. HELP - I need to interview a charge nurse!!

    Sorry but if anybody can still elaborate I would greatly appreciate it. I need more for question #2. After the charge nurse delegates tasks/assignments what does the charge nurse do? I'm assuming it's...

  11. HELP - I need to interview a charge nurse!!

    That does help. You said the CNA's do "chems" what is
  12. RN Work schedules for INOVA

    What are the shifts for the new grads? Are the shifts permanent or does your schedule constantly change? How long do you have to work as a nurse before you can land a 7am-7pm shift? Is that even...
  13. NOVA Fall 2010 Traditional or 2+1 anyone??

    Yeah, as of right now the plan is after graduating the traditional program and passing the NCLEX next year (God willing), that I will start working towards an RN to BSN bridge program as soon as...
  14. NOVA Fall 2010 Traditional or 2+1 anyone??

    Guaranteed to GMU's school of nursing, but guaranteed spot in a program? I've heard that even the momentum students had to meet specific requirements to go directly into the nursing program at GMU....
  15. NVCC Online Nursing Program

    Well, this post of mine is very old. I didn't apply to the online nursing program because I found out too late that I needed to take CHM 101. I am now in the Traditional program less than 3 weeks away...
  16. NVCC Online Nursing Program

    For those of you attending NVCCs nursing program; What are your thoughts on their online program? I am seriously considering applying for it rather than the traditional program. I have taken several...
  17. NOVA Fall 2010 Traditional or 2+1 anyone??

    That doesn't even make sense. You submitted your application or your checklist? You can't even submit your application without completing the TEAS, because they won't approve your checklist without...
  18. Choosing the Infusion Set

    I have the Henke's Med-Math book (6th edition). It provides vague guidelines as to making decisions regarding which IV tubing to choose. States to Use Microdrip When: IV is to be administered over a...
  19. NAS 161 & 162 at the same time

    Histown, that is VERY impressive. Most people can't even pull of an A in one or both. I didn't do it and frankly I wouldn't recommend it. Especially considering I know nothing about you or what you...
  20. Working in Psych while Pregnant

    I going to be doing my psych rotation during Spring semester and I want to know if there is anything I should know in advance. I know nothing about psych nursing. I will be somewhere between 20 and 36...
  21. Pregnant

    I don't see any reason why you should feel like you have to wait. My only concern would be whether or not you were to deliver during the term (as opposed to between semesters). I am 11 weeks pregnant...
  22. Working in Psych while Pregnant

    Thank you all for your responses. I WILL be visibly pregnant and believe me, my teachers that don't already know will be very surprised when we return from winter break! ChildPsych-I actually read...
  23. How would you write a nursing diagnosis for a patient who didn't seek treatment after a cancer diagnosis? Basically my patient was diagnosed with breast cancer and a year later was admitted to the...

  25. Can anyone tell me about the nova nursing schedule?

    You're very welcome. I am an idiot though and I have another correction to make. Our discussion on Mondays is actually from 1-3. I am not sure if anyone really cares or if it makes a difference but I...
