  1. Colorado New Grads- Do you have jobs?

    Work in Progress replied to Work in Progress's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I am a Nurse Intern at Denver Health and I am hoping that will help. I have not heard much about the December graduating class at my school. Out of curiosity, where did you go to

  2. I am so over nursing school... can I just have my degree already?

    Work in Progress replied to Work in Progress's topic in General Students

    Hehe, not so worried about the NCLEX... I am more worried about finding a

  3. I am so over nursing school... can I just have my degree already?

    Work in Progress replied to Work in Progress's topic in General Students

    That is true. I have had those nightmare instructors before, so it is good to have a break. I just wish I had something to keep me busy so I didn't sit and ruminate on how tired I am of school! It...

  4. Things I Find Gross=Weird

    Work in Progress replied to sj73201's topic in General Students

    Even if things bother you, you will get used to it. My fear and disgust at phlegm doesn't stop me from being a great nursing student. I don't show it on my face, I do what needs to be done...

  5. Informal Critical Care Clinical Rotation Survey

    Work in Progress replied to TheSquire's topic in General Students

    I am in a ABSN program and we had one day of ICU observation during our Med/Surg II rotation. That was it. You can get ICU for your senior practicum, but they are in high demand and rare to come

  6. Things I Find Gross=Weird

    Work in Progress replied to sj73201's topic in General Students

    Don't worry, everyone has something that seriously grosses them out in nursing. You are lucky that yours is something like spiders which you are unlikely to see very often (unless you do home health...

  7. Ethical Dilemmas in L&D Nursing

    Work in Progress posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am a student graduating in May 2010 and I am currently in my ethics and legal issues class. Our final assignment is to write a bioethical paper about a specific case (fictional or true) of an...

  8. Tell me about nursing school... (again)

    Work in Progress replied to magn1jes's topic in General Students

    It really depends on your time management and your learning style. I am going into my final semester and I had a baby halfway through nursing school. He will be 13 months old when I graduate, and I...

  9. Ethical Dilemmas in L&D Nursing

    Work in Progress replied to Work in Progress's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you. These are all excellent ideas. I have thought about doing the circumcision issue and patient education. I don't think I would be able to write a very objective paper, however because I am...

  10. Pregnancy during nursing school

    Work in Progress replied to rookie9's topic in General Students

    I know that the biological clock can be pretty persistent once it gets going! It is hard to ignore. I didn't ignore it, and I was pregnant after my first semester of an ABSN. I now have a 5 month...

  11. does nursing seem boring?

    Work in Progress replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    I have to agree with you that a lot of nursing specialties bore the crap out of me. I also work on a Med/Surg and Tele floor as a Nurse Intern. I follow nurses and help out with what I can, and I...

  12. Ideas to honor student at graduation who passed away

    Work in Progress replied to Ferwhat's topic in General Students

    I didn't have this happen in nursing school, but in high school one of our classmates died in a car accident. We each placed a yellow rose on a chair reserved for her (yellow was her favorite color)...

  13. Is anyone else suffering from senior-itis?

    Work in Progress posted a topic in General Students

    I have always been a fairly motivated and organized person. I have never had a problem getting my work done or studying for a test. This semester, however, it is taking all of my willpower to even...

  14. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    Work in Progress replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I am also currently enrolled there. It is very competitive, as stated above. At my orientation they told us that for each of us that were there, 10 other people were denied admission. It is an...

  15. Need advice re: expectations during clinicals

    Work in Progress replied to Patricia1101's topic in General Students

    I have to say that every clinical, every instructor and even every individual day have different levels of expectations. The instructor is probably intimidating and makes you nervous, I know I get...

  16. Any Encouragement or Advice?

    Work in Progress replied to kmt22773's topic in General Students

    There is never a right time to jump into nursing school. I know when I started I was freaked out about the financial aspect as well, but I think you have to just commit to it and make it work. Once...

  17. Where should I do my Senior Practicum?

    Work in Progress replied to dance2it101's topic in General Students

    Any practicum you get will probably be useful, and anything Peds would be great, but have you thought about adding L&D or mom/baby to the list? I think those would be a good supplement to NICU....

  18. Should I get a job as a CNA while in school?

    Work in Progress replied to mmccool719's topic in General Students

    I think that being a CNA has given me a huge advantage over other students. The nurses and doctors let me watch anything interesting on the floor. I am now a nurse intern, so my scope of practice...

  19. Nursing students!What has been the hardest part of NURSING school?!

    Work in Progress replied to anon321d's topic in General Students

    I have to say that the hardest part for me has been finances. I am in an accelerated program, which makes it next to impossible to work full time. I have gotten the loans and such that I need, but I...

  20. Working during Accelerated BSN?

    Work in Progress replied to zerocoolz's topic in General Students

    I don't know how busy a 12 month ABSN program would be, but I am in an 18 month program and I have worked the whole time. When I was in clinicals 4 days a week and class one day a week I worked one...

  21. Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

    Work in Progress replied to cradlecrewer's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just read all 18 pages of this thread and I found it interesting as a nursing student about to enter my OB clinical and as a woman expecting her first child (completely uncomplicated pregnancy). I...

  22. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    Work in Progress replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    My goals are small at first... Move into an apartment or house that is above ground. We have been in basement apartments for 4 years and I just can't take the gloom much longer. Purchasing decent...

  23. Pregnant during clinicals - Would you switch rotations if you could?

    Work in Progress replied to elle_RN's topic in General Students

    Well, only you can decide what is going to work for you and your situation is a bit different than mine. I did, however, complete my Med/Surg 1 rotation between weeks 16 and 20 of my pregnancy as...

  24. anyone actually get good grades in nursing school?

    Work in Progress replied to moonbunnie's topic in General Students

    Hello and don't fret... I am a 4.0 and I am halfway through, find out what your teacher expects, do the work and DON'T WORRY. A lot of my classmates that are having issues are having a hard time with...

  25. CNA job making me almost want to give up Nursing

    Work in Progress replied to AZMOMO2's topic in General Students

    I had the same concern about CNA work ruining my ambition to be a nurse. And there are days that I have wondered... but I have found since clinicals the real reason I will like being an RN over being...
