  1. Maybe, you should take a review
  2. RN Nurse VS Pharmacist

    I think pharmacists have it easier than nurses. Nursing is stressful and physically demanding. Plus, you are exposed to more danger as a nurse as
  3. I got hired on the spot!!!

    Congratulations on your new job. I hope I'll get to experience the "getting hired on the spot" once I graduate. That would be so awesome!! Thank you for sharing your success story. It is nice to hear...
  4. Sorry to hear about your situation. Right now is just difficult to find work period. At my school, the May 09 graduated class is also having a tough time finding jobs. This is actually the first time...
  5. I wouldn't take it if I were
  6. Not properly trained for ER?????

    Many graduated students from my school went right into ER. One is now a clinical instructor. I think it's doable. Of course, as a new grad, anything is going to be difficult no matter where you go....
  7. Nursing school stress

    Everyone is my class is so stressed out. It's just insane. We're in the second semester of an ADN program by the way. Med-surg is much harder than the fundamental stuff (it just couldn't compare!!)....
  8. RN with a Master's Degree; what is the salary, etc?

    I think the main factor (among many) for $$ is the year (and type) of experience you
  9. 25K sign on bonus

    LOL.....I've never heard of such
  10. Worried about instructors

    Our theory professors were there during orientation and we met all of our clinical instructors second day of class. Though, I wouldn't assume that because they weren't there, they didn't commit to...
  11. Starting/ Going back on August 24th...

    Good luck everyone!! I'm also going back to school next week. It seems like ages since my last semester
  12. 1st med pass did not go so well...

    Sorry to hear that. For us, we would first look at the MAR (to just get an idea about what meds will be given), then we'd go do vital signs/head-to-toe assessment. Then, we'd look up lab values and...
  13. Metal Penis??

    Wow, that's really interesting. Did it look like just a regular member? I was just wondering cause no one noticed it until you got to the MRI,
  14. I too consider C as a failing grade (sorry). Maybe, I am a competitive person/student, I don't know. I just try my very best and earn my A in the classes I take. I know my strengths and weaknesses....
  15. Recommendation letter

    Normally, you should give the recommenders at least 2 weeks (very minimum) to compose LOR's. Are they aware that there is a deadline? If so, I'd say give them one more
  16. Grades- do instructors round up?

    Not at my school either. My very close friend just failed a class (74.87%). They told us that it wouldn't matter if you have 74.99%. That is not 75% and hence not a passing
  17. I think you can get most clinic jobs as a new
  18. Med school after nursing?

    I think you should first do some research on nursing as a profession. From your post, it seemed to be that you had a very limited understanding of what nursing is. I'd suggest volunteering in a...
  19. Nursing and Pre Med

    It is very possible and I'm sure people are doing it (or have done it). Depending on your school, you might be able to squeeze in some Bio/Chem/Physics/Math classes during Summer. Basically, you need...
  20. When you are in NS do you do anything during the summer?

    At my school we have a 2-month break for Summer. I can't imagine going through the program without any break. I'd insane for sure!! So, for my Summer, I'm going overseas. I just want to relax and get...
  21. Gay male nurse stereotype?

    We have 10 male students (out of 48 in the class) and there are only 2 gay men among us guys. They never try to hide it. Everyone knows and we all are cool with that. Nobody cares really. Both of them...
  22. most difficult part of nursing school?

    I completely agree with so many of you here. I hate... 1) 5 choices/question, choose the best answer or select all that apply!! 2) many long chapters you need to read (some of them are really...
  23. Students that cheat

    I would turn her in if I had a concrete evidence. It's not fair to other students and it's surely not fair to the future patients. We need to protect our profession. Cheating should never be tolerated...
  24. Physical Assessment

    I am in the same boat! We had 1 lecture for vital signs and 1 lecture for head-to-toe assessment and that was it. We got to practice only 2 times in the skill lab and now we are expected to be able to...
  25. Great story! I really admire you, OP. You did a great job and even helped your friend out. Thanks for sharing! I'll be starting my first clinical this Thurs. Hopefully, it won't be too
