  1. Nurse Extern

    Congrats to you! The positions are not easy to come by. I have to drive over an hour for mine but it will be well worth it when I graduate this
  2. Success is all in your attitude! If you believe you can do it, you will. If you believe you will fail, you will. If you think positive, you will receive positive. This is something that I've...
  3. 3rd Semester: DONE.

    I'm also done with my 3rd semester (insert sigh of relief here). Advanced pharm, med-surg and psych. On to the final and what I hear is the easiest semester! Med-surg III and leadership. Can't...
  4. 2 year ADN program here as well and we learned to do them in second semester. Once we checked off in lab, we were allowed to do them during clinicals. Good
  5. TMI

    I would've given them a funny look and just said TMI! They would've received the hint!
  6. Finshed Final exam today ! One more semester to GO !!

    You know that's true!!! I'm happy for the summer break
  7. Finshed Final exam today ! One more semester to GO !!

    Congrats! We don't take our last final until Monday and I am still waiting for grades to be posted in our Pharmacology class (hopefully sometime today). I can't wait to get third semester behind me...
  8. This thread is really old but since people are still looking at it... I graduate in December with my ADN and I was hired at a hospital that is working toward magnet status with the promise of a...
  9. Turned down job..did I do the right thing?

    I don't see that you had another choice really. Unless you wanted to have your baby and come right back to work (which I would never suggest). Only you can know if you did the right thing. For me,...
  10. 100% on my exam and it wasn't exciting... :(

    Congrats on your 100%! That is an awesome thing in nursing school and you should be proud of yourself! I would feel the same way if I was in your shoes right now however if you know that you did not...
  11. Senior Practicum DONE! Next stop, GRADUATION!

    Congrats! I also remember reading your posts before starting school and look how far you've come! Do you remember some of your posts? And, thank you, I started school one semester behind you and...
  12. Need help to convince parents!

    The only reason I am going for my ADN first is because it's cheaper. The BSN program would have been faster (in my area there was no waitlist for the BSN) and gives people more options after...
  13. I made it!!!! I am a nursing Graduate!!!

    Congrats! I wish I could post the same! Hurry up
  14. School -- Over it.

    I am right there with you. Same graduation month. I am sick of my classmates, the drama, the assignments, the instructors, clinicals, you name it. In fact, two weeks ago I swore that I was quitting...
  15. I would get the book titled Test Success. It talks all about nursing tests and gives you very helpful hints on how to choose the right answer based on the question. It also provides study tips. Good...
  16. Not to mention that if this baby did have a heart problem, as you alluded to in your last post, getting the HR correct is ESSENTIAL to the well-being of the patient. I think if I were your CI, I would...
  17. I say go ahead and burn the bridges. I would pull that girl aside and tell her to knock it off. Don't mince words. You are not in school to make friends, you are there to learn. Is this girl so...
  18. How long for test grades?

    How long does it take your professors to post the grades for your tests? We took a test yesterday and it looks like we will have to wait all weekend, AGAIN. This makes me
  19. I've often wondered this too. Why are some patients allowed to act the way they do? I'm all for "customer service" and will get people (even family members) something to drink, whatever. But when it...
  20. How long for test grades?

    I'm right there with you! I don't get test anxiety either. It's the post test anxiety that kills
  21. Why is it everyone's favorite?

    I don't get the draw towards mom/baby either. Hated the rotation (in fact, it was my worst). Love the ER but I also like the relationship with my patients and I like to watch the recovery. LOVE,...
  22. How long for test grades?

    They've posted ours on the same day or at least within 24, which I love too and I've been used to. The previous test it took them a week and a half to get posted. I just hate waiting the weekend!...
  23. I go to the movies by myself, usually really bad scary movies. The last movie that I saw was Piranha 3D and IT
  24. Acceptable Behavior?

    Acceptable, no. I wouldn't have said anything about it either. Also, isolation precautions is to protect you and the other patients you come into contact with. If a patient is on contact...
  25. Certs to set you apart from the pack?

    Don't take ACLS or PALS until after med-surg and I wouldn't take an EKG class until you are accepted into nursing school. Just my 2
