  1. Have you made good friends while in Nursing School?

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to PreStudent101's topic in General Students

    I made some great friends in the program and I have at least 3 classmates that I'm very close with and I can say will actually be dear friends for the long term, even when I move back home. I'm pretty...

  2. Anyone here Accepted for NMU's BSN program for Fall '10 or already in

    hearts895, RN BSN posted a topic in General Students

    I know this is a little known school, but I was just accepted for Northern Michigan University's BSN program. Is anyone else on here a student there - besides my friend Hypersaurus SN I'm so excited...

  3. Junior fit scrub pants

    hearts895, RN BSN posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Hi All, I'm going to be starting N.S. this fall and hopefully (fingers crossed) a CNA training session or hospital care aide position this fall. As a volunteer, I have to wear a scrub top. I look kind...

  4. Some crazy/funny things that patients did.

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

  5. IS Gluttony a Disease or Choice?

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    Its a primarily a choice the same way any other addiction is a choice. IMHO. Some people compulsively eat, some smoke, some drink, some get obsessed with something else (appearances, video games,...

  6. Doors to patient rooms: open or closed?

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

    At the hospital I work for, 90% of the time they are open, but there are exceptions allowed as per pt. preference, or for reasons like isolation or comfort measures (close to death etc.) Usually...

  7. Anyone here Accepted for NMU's BSN program for Fall '10 or already in

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

    I know exactly how you feel - I came up here from WA state, not knowing anything about Marquette, or really MI, in general. I had two weeks to get settled and find an apt. It was pretty scary and...

  8. Thoughts on St. Joseph Medical Center? Does a new grad have chance for job there?

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to hearts895, RN BSN's topic in Washington Nursing

    Wow that is so great to hear! Thank you very much for sharing! :) This may sound really cheesy/sappy, but I have always gotten a really good feeling off of everything I've seen about the Franciscan...

  9. Thoughts on St. Joseph Medical Center? Does a new grad have chance for job there?

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to hearts895, RN BSN's topic in Washington Nursing

    The fact that it is unionized is one of my biggest reasons for being so interested. I come from a strongly pro-union family, and I know that in nursing there can sometimes be issues with upper...

  10. Anyone here Accepted for NMU's BSN program for Fall '10 or already in

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

    Your could look at the Ridgeview apt.'s in Marquette. The pros with them are: Nice, reasonably quiet, and not too far from campus. The cons are: rather expensive, and they only allow dogs up to a...

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

    Hi :) Hypersaurus SN - my fellow NMU nursing student :) - gave you excellent, concise info about NMU. Everything she said is correct. Assuming most of your pre-reqs are done, and you only have a...

  12. Some people should just stay quiet!!!

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to StephRN08's topic in General Nursing

    Rude lady I agree! I wear a breast cancer ribbon badge holder, because it is my right to, according to hospital code. It would have upset me, but I suppose I would have bit my tongue. I suppose an...

  13. is nursing supposed to be sad?

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

    I agree. Nursing school is hard and stressful. There is subtle competition, and if your big on achievement like many nursing students are, there is added pressure. No one wants to do bad or look like...

  14. Is my GPA and Teas test score competitive enough for BSN?

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to NursingKid's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd try and retake the TEAS as long as a worse score wouldn't be looked at by the schools your applying to. Good

  15. Thoughts on St. Joseph Medical Center? Does a new grad have chance for job there?

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to hearts895, RN BSN's topic in Washington Nursing

    Hi :) Congrats on getting a job at St. Joes and passing the NCLEX. I'm a nursing student going to school in MI who would LOVE to come back home to WA state and get a job at St. Joes. The critical...

  16. Followed MD Order--Now Do I Look Incompetent?

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

    I'm just a nursing student and a care aide at the local hospital, but in my experience there is scarcely anytime my hospital would keep at pt. in the ICU just because they are on heavy meds and out of...

  17. Posting pictures to facebook

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

    Whoa!! Can you say major HIPPA violation! Some people must have a career death wish! Although, are you sure that this person was in no way a family member or friend of the birth mother

  18. inappropriate work attire

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

    Your co-worker sounds icky and unprofessional on all accounts but 1. An affair has nothing to do with work, so you have technically have no right/reason to expose it or do anything else related to it....

  19. Unit Secretary

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to weluv3's topic in General Nursing

    Volunteer on a busy floor that is short staffed for CNAs and Unit Clerks. Thats what I did and I landed a job as a CNA at the hospital. Be a super enthusiastic, busy volunteer. Talk to the nurses and...

  20. nursin school/vent

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

    Agreed - NS is hard for me too, but it has to be. I have said many times to my family & others, it has to be like boot camp because they really are transforming a student from a civilian into a...

  23. Patient sitters for 11-7

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to Salt-of-the-earth's topic in General Nursing

    As a sitter/CNA for a hospital, I have to echo these thoughts. Its stressful to be just completely "forgotten," especially since you are not allowed to leave the pt. to get help or ask to be relieved...

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to Brian's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  25. How competitive are CC's?

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How competitive are CC's? My simple, one word answer: Extremely!!! In my experience, as competitive - and usually more so - than University BSN programs. Sorry to say, its the hard truth in my...
