  1. Knocked off my feet

    CBsMommy replied to redface's topic in General Nursing

    Have you looked into the Excelsior program? I don't know anything about it but I think they accept nursing classes as a transfer. If you go to the student tab and go to distance learning, there are...

  2. Typical Nursing School Behavior?

    CBsMommy replied to Striving2BG8's topic in General Students

    The intensity of the last semester of nursing school! I can't believe how quick people are to jump all over other people. We had a HUGE blow up today at school between some classmates (I just kept...

  3. 72 days left. How to stay motivated?

    CBsMommy replied to peanut2011's topic in General Students

    I still have 13 clinicals left. UGH - They suck this semester!!! I have 1 more test in Med-Surg - that I can miss over half the questions on and still be okay, thank goodness! Then on to Leadership,...

  4. Which one of you AN members posted this?

    CBsMommy replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like some of the conversations I have with my classmates who assure me they are going to go right out and find the job they want, at the hospital they want to work in. I just heard...

  5. what do you talk about at work?

    CBsMommy replied to nola1202's topic in General Nursing

    We usually have the same crew since we're the weekend shift but we talk about what's going on in the world, some about patients, a lot about what everyone did in nursing school and right after...

  6. Class smart vs. clinic smart

    CBsMommy replied to rock&run's topic in General Students

    I had this issue in the same spot in school that you are at now. I had an ER RN tell me, just take a breath and OWN IT. You can do this. So, before I did the procedure, which was a NG insertion, I...

  7. For Fun--Kudos 2 Me...The "toot your own horn" thread

    CBsMommy replied to tammy1974's topic in General Students

    I am so excited! I got a 90% on the hardest test of the entire program (per the instructors)! I only have one more med-surg test to go before graduation and I can miss over half the questions and...

  8. Just an observation (Clinical Tales of Woe)

    CBsMommy replied to Constantly Surprised's topic in General Students

    I have to respectfully disagree with the OP. Your post almost makes it sound like it's okay to treat people rudely because "people are just people". I understand where you are coming from however I...

  9. What Do You Think You Needed To Learn in School, But Didn't

    CBsMommy replied to xtxrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Aurora77 - I feel like I'm going to be a little lost after graduation. I really, really wish we had a preceptorship or capstone our senior year. I work at a hospital in a city up north in my state...

  10. What Do You Think You Needed To Learn in School, But Didn't

    CBsMommy replied to xtxrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is an interesting question and one that I think about all the time. Here's what I think schools need to work a little more on: 1. Integrating all of the different systems. We go through each...

  11. Now you can schedule APPOINTMENTS in the ER...????

    CBsMommy replied to mwboswell's topic in Emergency

    Ok. If you have time to schedule an appointment and relax at home, ER is not the place you should be

  12. VENT: Clinical Instructor for last clinical rotation

    CBsMommy posted a topic in General Students

    I had to vent!!!! This is my last clinical rotation in school and my CI has no idea! She had the nerve the other day to ask me what a normal temp was and what I considered a fever. Really? Did I...

  13. VENT: Clinical Instructor for last clinical rotation

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Students

    As to the first people who posted on this thread. I apologize. I didn't mean to come off sounding like I was entitled. It's hard to get the tone of the thread across on an internet forum but...

  14. VENT: Clinical Instructor for last clinical rotation

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Students

    Thanks NurseLoveJoy88 - You always have great words of wisdom. I am really trying to make the best of it. Maybe I'm just ready to be done with school and maybe that's my frustruation. I don't know....

  15. VENT: Clinical Instructor for last clinical rotation

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Students

    I thought about this too. I would hope that people would know what the fever range is by now but then we had someone last semester who didn't know the basic anatomy of the heart so anything is...

  16. VENT: Clinical Instructor for last clinical rotation

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Students

    I thought about this too and I am really hoping that this is what's going to happen. I just want to be challenged at the level of a new RN so I'm not clueless when walking into my first job. I don't...

  17. VENT: Clinical Instructor for last clinical rotation

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Students

    Yes, I understand there are people who don't know what they should know by now. I've already had a lengthy discussion with my CI and went over my background with her so she should know where I'm...

  18. VENT: Clinical Instructor for last clinical rotation

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Students

    Seas - As a student graduating in 13 weeks, I would prefer to have critical thinking type questions asked, not simple questions such as what temp I would consider a fever to be. I also have no idea...

  19. 2011 Graduates Put your hands up

    CBsMommy replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I left because the drive from my house to my hospital was 1.5 hours away and when we hit this Colorado winter, it's going to be a bear to get to that hospital, if I even can. I kind of treated it...

  20. New grad with job offer...but not excited...

    CBsMommy replied to april.rn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree. Take the job! I know that many new grads want hospital jobs but acute care is not all that it's cracked up to be! And it's better to have some experience under your belt in a year than be...

  21. Senior nursing students I just want to say.....

    CBsMommy replied to Unique87's topic in General Students

    I, too, have a bad case of senoritis! My countdown on my computer says that I have 98 days, 45 minutes and 26 seconds until our final, final grades are posted and we are officially nursing graduates!...

  22. A payroll card instead of a check???

    CBsMommy replied to fery632's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, my hospital has a method of paying with this as well. I was also skeptical at first but it really is just as good as having direct

  23. 2011 Graduates Put your hands up

    CBsMommy replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I graduate in December 2011. I just left my nursing externship position and hoping I didn't shoot myself in the foot as I am now VERY nervous about not being able to find a job after

  24. If you won the lottery would you still work in health care?

    CBsMommy replied to nola1202's topic in General Nursing

    I would volunteer in healthcare with the mentally ill (never enough resources) and work with the public education

  25. Who's graduating this semester?

    CBsMommy replied to TerpGal02's topic in General Students

    I graduate in December. It can't be here soon enough! Pinning on the
