  1. what to expect at open houses

    MisterSimba replied to monkeysarecute's topic in California Nursing

    Are you referring to the one at Hoag, by any chance? If so, I'm going to that as well! Not sure what to expect

  2. Students in Delivery Room

    MisterSimba replied to cali_rusk's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You already answered your own question: "...these are students who I have a friendship/relationship with and I am thinking I do not want them to be in there...." Maybe if there was a nursing student...

  3. Evidence Based Paper--need help!

    MisterSimba replied to coolpeachmoy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I remember my first month of nursing school very well, probably because it wasn't too long ago! Take a deep breath and try to relax. You have a lot of resources available. Ask your instructor for...

  4. Suggestions for an eager student!

    MisterSimba replied to AZnursingstudent04's topic in General Nursing

    I think the problem is that nurses aren't given the choice to have a student with them for the day, so some of the nurses that don't want to work with students take their misery out on them. In an...

  5. Are nurses allowed to recommend doctors??

    MisterSimba replied to KSU-SN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see why you wouldn't be able to recommend a doctor. I know I would, but I would be very discrete about it. Just make sure you give your feedback verbally, via a phone call or in person. Never...

  6. Basic question, almost ashamed to ask

    MisterSimba replied to questioneverything's topic in General Nursing

    It's not a silly question at all! It generally means turning or shifting the patient by placing a pillow or a couple of pillows under their right or left side. You're redistributing their weight to...

  7. Advice, please!

    MisterSimba posted a topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi everyone! I could really use some advice! I recently applied for a new grad job at UNC Children's Hospital, and was asked to interview. I applied for an oncology floor, and was asked to interview...

  8. New Grad Nursing Programs

    MisterSimba posted a topic in Pediatric

    Hi everyone! I am a nursing student in San Diego and am about to graduate at the end of July. I have my heart set on starting out in pediatrics, but have been looking all over the country and am not...

    MisterSimba posted a topic in California Nursing

    I want to take a phlebotomy/IV certification class before I start nursing school. Anyone know of any good programs in southern

  10. IPhone NCLEX apps-any good ones?

    MisterSimba replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, Mosby's has several "NCLEX-RN Review" apps that are great! They have the following: - Medical-Surgical - Mental Health - Women's Health -

  11. CHOC interview

    MisterSimba replied to Acosmo27's topic in California Nursing

    I applied for a Med/Surg position on May 14th and my application is still being reviewed. I'm really hoping to at least get an interview because it'll be good practice. Still keeping my fingers...

  13. Advice needed

    MisterSimba replied to becky5438's topic in General Students

    Do the reading when you can, but if you don't have time to do all of the reading for every class, just focus on chapter summaries and/or use the books as a reference for things that were unclear...

  14. Why don't employers start lowering wages for nurses?

    MisterSimba replied to hcer4507's topic in General Nursing

    I worked at a daycare for $12/hour, then as a nanny for $15/hour. Where I live, nurses generally get paid about $70,000/year. I'm in a private accelerated program, and by the time I'm done next...

  15. I can't even believe that this recall even made the news....

    MisterSimba replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    No, it's not just you! Common sense is apparently not so common! Why would anyone put a crib close enough to where a baby could reach the cord? And if there's no other place to put a crib except by a...

  16. New grad with no clinical skills

    MisterSimba replied to malone2192's topic in General Nursing

    I recently finished my first semester of nursing school, and have done all the skills you mentioned, except for discontinuing an IV. We haven't done IV's yet - that starts second semester, when we...

  17. Tuition Reimbursement Programs

    MisterSimba posted a topic in California Nursing

    I will be starting nursing school on May 11th (wooohooo!!!) at Azuza Pacific University's San Diego campus. It's an accelerated 15-month BSN program so I will be in class or clinicals all week and...

  18. Disturbed Energy Field

    MisterSimba replied to avatar78's topic in General Students

    I completely agree with you there. Sorry, I guess I didn't make that clear in my post. I don't see how "blocked chakra/energy field" could make its way onto a medical chart or be used as a diagnosis...

  19. Disturbed Energy Field

    MisterSimba replied to avatar78's topic in General Students

    Thank you, Daytonite! :heartbeat While I completely agree with the fact that there is no scientific evidence to prove the existence of energy fields and chakras, etc, I do believe that alternative...

    MisterSimba replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    MisterSimba replied to 2bnurse_it's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    MisterSimba replied to nmh586's topic in California Nursing

    Yes, congratulations to you!!! That is a HUGE accomplishment, since you were one of 50 people out of 400+ applicants to be accepted! That's amazing! I wonder if a mass e-mail was sent out to all the...
