    hearts895, RN BSN replied to Teresag_CNS's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm brave & smart, if I do say so myself lol, and I'm not afraid to enter. Maybe I'm viewing nursing wrong, but speaking as someone who is entering nursing school, I always thought that one of the...

  2. Did your Nursing counselor give you hope you will get in and you did? (or didnt)

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

  8. HESI during Nursing school?

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to ghurricane's topic in General Nursing

    Our school makes us do a HESI for the end of each semester. I have heard of plenty of schools that don't do HESI's at all. I have no insight as to why/why not schools decide to have HESIs - I'm too...

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

    I could be wrong but I think they were trying to test for bacterial disease by sort of incubating/encouraging bacterial growth in a patient's GYN sample on a type of blood agar plate. Could be wrong...

  13. List of supplies to buy for a new Nursing Student

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to hearts895, RN BSN's topic in General Students

    Thanks for all the advice everyone! I looked up the nursing clipboards and they looked great, as did the clipboards that you can store things in. Does any one have a preference for bandage scissors?...

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to JustYouWait's topic in General Students

  18. How Do You Feel About Hospital Volunteers?

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to Justanotherday's topic in General Nursing

    Thats my plan; I'm going to be super nice (of course!) and I'm very eager to learn, but a main thing I'm hoping to do is sort of "network" so that when CNA/Nurse Tech. position opens up, I may have a...

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to ChervRN's topic in General Students

  22. Would this be considered cheating?

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to computer101's topic in General Students

    I don't know what I think about it. My reason being the teacher gave back the tests. To my mind, if a teacher gives back the test, its pretty much your "property." You can do what you like with it. If...

  23. What exactly do some people think nursing is all about???

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to LoveMyDaughters's topic in General Students

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to computer101's topic in General Students
