I thought you said you had 3 tattoos? "I do." Ugh, your one of those!

CPM machines are bigger than these lil contraptions!

You know it's bad when the grim reaper gets new years off and the nurse has to do his job!

This may shock you but...2012 is over!

Hello everyone, I recently moved to this city and have been looking for a job for a couple of months now. I recently landed a few interviews : The one I am MOST interested in is in 2 weeks however the rest are scheduled from tomorrow on out. My ques...

Well, I'm done with the interview and they offered me the position on the spot! She told me I had until the end of the day to decide but at the end said well you have a week, I'm guessing since I didn't jump on it?? It may not be my preferred departm...

Those snap release ones is all i know lol. What works for me is the first thing you must do when you first open up the needle slide the catheter slightly up and then put it right back (these are know to kinda get stuck and not finding that out till y...

Nurse Intern! most hospitals have the position, most require you to be done with first year of nursing school, at my hospital i get to make my own schedule at anytime 24hrs a day...they know your a student, you practice what you learn and work on you...

I havent graduated yet however I had an interview for mother and baby unit for a nurse intern position, they pretty much interviewed me in the same fashion as they do to a new RN position because they said once you intern they give you a spot on the ...

I suggest, Texas Tech University, im here..i love it..moved here from way out of state just for this and i dont regret it! il be getting my bsn in may '11! they take over 150 students each program..look into it:stdnrsrck:

Oh come on people shes just asking for some articles! Here are a couple, feel free to look for more on http://www.nursingcenter.com, she will need to use sites such as web md and her pathophysiology textbooks from class to give her the disease descri...

Im not sure what your case will be but i was accepted into a nursing program and waitlisted in another, there were 15 of us on the aitlist and they were calling me repeatedly to offer me the spot, in the program i got into they had plenty of spots be...

stick to an accredited program!

you can definitely become an registered nurse by way of an associates degree, its the minumum requirement for becoming an R.N. Getting a BSN in nursing may be more appealing to employers and you can also move into administration and case managent wit...

Im currently in nursing school and my teacher makes us write care plans before seeing the patient too! it really bugs me, what really set me off was when she wanted me to write a discharge plan!!! before meeting the patient!??? WTH? i said no, sorry ...
