  1. Help please - need a nursing watch w/ a small wrist band

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

    Hi all :) Okay so my back story is that I got into N.S. and I'm hopefully (fingers crossed) get accepted into a CNA training program which will lead to a CNA position. Given all this I decided to buy...

  3. Hand washing

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to newlife21's topic in General Nursing

    I watched a CNA training video on how to do proper hand washing. I'm not a CNA yet, but as a volunteer I try to always do proper hand washing. Interestingly, I had my hands analyzed for germs under...

  7. university of detroit Mercy second degree program

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to creativetype2007's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah Madonna is 35 a year when I calculated it out. That was a year or so ago. It takes alot of hoops to jump through to get into the actual nursing program too. Honestly, its amazing they get so many...

  8. university of detroit Mercy second degree program

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to creativetype2007's topic in General Nursing

    Oh and as far as competitive GPA maybe playing a factor - I doubt it. The average GPA when I was coming in for traditional BSN was around a 3.5. So it was moderately competitive but no where near as...

  9. university of detroit Mercy second degree program

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to creativetype2007's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't go to U of D Mercy or Madonna (I really really wanted to go to either one!!) b/c of how expensive they were. I agree with Jennifer - it was probably due to money for most people. Thats what...

  10. Phi Theta Kappa - Haven't we all been invited?

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to SDChargersGirl#31's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The GPA required to get in and to say in depends on the College in my experience. At my old college it was 3.8 to get in and 3.5 to stay in. It was big deal though - a lot of people joined and it was...

  11. Phi Theta Kappa - Haven't we all been invited?

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to SDChargersGirl#31's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Agree, agree, agree!!!! Everything you said is exactly what I was going to say! To the OP: Join PTK - you'll reap the benefits in a lot of ways - I know I certainly have! Congratulations on being...

  12. Has anyone read/heard of the book "Thinking as a Nurse" by B. A. Scott?

    hearts895, RN BSN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone has ever read or heard of the book Thinking as a Nurse by Bruce Austin Scott. If so, do you think it would be a good book for a new nursing student to read? Is it too...

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

    Do you or anyone else recommend I read any additional books before nursing school

  16. Dealing with delusional patients

    hearts895, RN BSN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone, :) First a disclaimer: I'm just a volunteer (& nursing student) - not yet a nurse. And I don't mean "delusional" in a rude way - just in a clincal way. As a volunteer in the ED, I...

  17. Dealing with delusional patients

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

    Thank you for your advice everyone. I really appreciate hearing from nurses who have more experience with these sorts of things. In the future I think I will approach patients at first with a polite,...

  18. Advice for my friend re: GPA

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

    She still has a chance. She should repeat her classes and get As to wipe away her Bs and raise her GPA. Generally, the nursing school will look at the highest grade in the class. They are also going...

  20. Has Feminism Abandoned Nurses?

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

    I only cited those shows, because I was admitting that sometimes society does acknowledge "lower-level" jobs. I'm not debating that nursing is gross/dirty at times and that those shows don't have...

  21. has your school done fund raisers? Need ideas to help pay for pinning ceremony

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to avidhunter3's topic in General Students

    It is embroidered in one of the upper corners on the front. For the embroidery, it has a stethoscope in the "shape" of a heart - and it says (as I recall, cause I don't own one yet) in a semi circle...

  22. has your school done fund raisers? Need ideas to help pay for pinning ceremony

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to avidhunter3's topic in General Students

    Your welcome :) I hope your fundraising goes great!! Here is one last idea I forgot to mention: T-shirts, sweats, and track jackets are sold by my SNA as well and they are very, very popular. The...

  23. Does it make a difference in new grad hiring? BSN or ASN?

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to red.tm's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just wanted to wish you luck and say how wrong it is to me that hospitals show preference to BSN students over ADN students. Not right at all - esp. given that ADN students tend to get more hands...

  24. Has Feminism Abandoned Nurses?

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

    I personally believe that most of the power inequalities in the workplace tend to be based on money and status. Sadly, in some ways society doesn't seem to always adequately reward those who work hard...

  25. has your school done fund raisers? Need ideas to help pay for pinning ceremony

    hearts895, RN BSN replied to avidhunter3's topic in General Students

    I forgot to mention that my current school's SNA puts on a annual Nurses Ball - its basically a fun dance for all the nursing students. We all dress up - usually in a theme color like purple or...
