  1. Life after RN school dismissal

    tma0312 replied to Milehighchick's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see why they would need a letter of good standing from the previous RN programs, unless you listed these schools on your transcript. A letter from the LPN school should be sufficient. What if...

  2. Evidence Based Practice

    tma0312 replied to VAJenny's topic in General Nursing

    I sometimes hit luck using CINAHL, but I also had an incredibly difficult time. I know paying for these things isn't ideal; however, there is a site that is only around $3 a month. I wish I could...

  3. Do I need to get a Lap Top for school?

    tma0312 replied to Gen2Nurse's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    having a laptop does not mean you will be competent in using electronic charting. These are institution specific programs that do not mean you *have* to have a laptop anymore than you need a desktop...

  4. Do I need to get a Lap Top for school?

    tma0312 replied to Gen2Nurse's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    We would have anywhere from 1-3 typed assignments/reports/projects each semester, none of which necessitated me having to bring my computer to school. If it was a group project either the work was...

  5. Calling any Watts School of Nursing Students!!!

    tma0312 replied to kellmoiselle's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    You need to get *ALL* white sneakers (must have laces- no "clogs" etc) and just dress appropriately for mount olive classes- you can wear jeans,

  6. HIPAA violation by another student

    tma0312 replied to Dianacabana's topic in General Students

    i agree with jolie. It is JUST an EKG, but obviously this person was fishing through her medical record without permission. What if there was other sensitive information in it? Now this fellow student...

  7. Do I need to get a Lap Top for school?

    tma0312 replied to Gen2Nurse's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I, personally, never liked typing my notes...I fussed too much about how the notes were getting formatted in Word and making it so I could comprehend them later rather than focusing on the information...

  8. what is the best way to review f&e?

    tma0312 replied to mzjennx's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    it sounds dumb, but when I was in school, our instructor made us draw pictures of what a person would look like with each of the imbalances, kind of like those silly illustrations you get in "fluids...

    tma0312 replied to kellmoiselle's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Mind you, those new "scrubs" are still nothing special! The fabric is very thick and the pants never look right, but oh well...atleast they have made some progress! Yes, the dresses were...

  12. telemetry nursing organizations

    tma0312 posted a topic in Cardiac

    Quick question, are there any typical nursing organizations that cardiac stepdown / telemetry nurses join? It seems that joining the med-surg one doesn't really apply for telemetry nurses. Thanks...

  13. Calling any Watts School of Nursing Students!!!

    tma0312 replied to kellmoiselle's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    mainly specialty units- only two that i know of in my class of twenty are going to med-surg. Everyone else is critical care gems at Durham Regional, PACU, pediatrics, or women's health, OR, or some...

  14. Calling any Watts School of Nursing Students!!!

    tma0312 replied to kellmoiselle's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    yep, i'll be staying in the area. Hospitals were extremely receptive to students from there. 90% of us had jobs or plenty of interviews 6months before even graduating. Unless a unit was full, nearly...

    tma0312 replied to exquisite20's topic in General Nursing

    I got accepted back in 2003 in highschool and was automatically enrolled into nursing even as a freshman...I had a guaranteed spot b/c of a full scholarship. But things may have changed. The GPA...

    tma0312 replied to JeseBJeans's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    thats funny, because I got a printout from my instructors that contains a breakdown of NCLEX questions based on topics. its something like 30pages long. maybe i'm

  20. HESI Exit Exam

    tma0312 replied to JeseBJeans's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I probably shouldn't be one to give advice, since I got an 1100 on HESI last week with minimal amounts of studying, but one book I found particularly helpful throughout nursing school is the NCLEX...

  21. Job Shadowing

    tma0312 replied to Nursey Face's topic in General Nursing

    why not shadow at a different facility? Most of the hospitals in my area allow RN's and soon-to-be new grads shadow before even
