  1. First Clinical

    Goldenatom replied to Goldenatom's topic in General Students

    It went well. It was a long term care facility and I was not quite prepared for my patients condition. Pretty much non-responsive and totally dependent. I got to do most of his care for the day. Bed...

    Goldenatom replied to Goldenatom's topic in General Students

  8. Pre-Nursing Volunteer

    Goldenatom replied to lhatee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was surprised that Georgetown put such an emphasis on volunteer experience. At University of Maryland they flat out said, "We don't care what you do before you enter our program." Having volunteered...

  9. 14 months and I should have never become a nurse

    Goldenatom replied to crazdmomof4's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not a nurse yet, but I often worry about this type of thing. I'm pretty calm under pressure, but its hard to imagine how I'll react under that kind of

  10. Cnl

    Goldenatom posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm currently applying to nursing programs in the DC-Baltimore area. I'm wondering if there is much of a difference between getting a BSN in nursing or getting a master's CNL degree. Both would take...
