  1. Experience > than BSN? Or Vice versa?

    SAHMStudent replied to SAHMStudent's topic in General Nursing

    I may well end up doing that very thing. I have a few co-reqs/pre-reqs (depending on the program) for RN-BSN/RN-MSN left to do, and I can do some online, or just do one a semester, or over the summer....

  2. RN residencies?

    SAHMStudent replied to want2banrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think they used to call them Diploma Programs I've talked to many nurses (quite a few of my professors, who did the Diploma thing when your choices were MRS., teacher or RN, then went on for BSN,...

  3. What stinks about new grad resumes

    SAHMStudent replied to SAHMStudent's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Go to the Region tab and find the state in which the college you are referencing is in. Post it there.

  4. What stinks about new grad resumes

    SAHMStudent posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Why does resume writing make me feel so inadequate? Never felt badly about my skills, the fact that I've been a SAHM and student for the last 2-3 years, employment gap, employer references are all...

  5. List of most commonly prescibed meds, please

    SAHMStudent replied to Stcroix's topic in General Nursing

    That's an excellent list, and a good idea to get get ahead of the game. I would recommend when you make your med cards you pay attention to the Nursing Diagnoses, and Nursing Implications and Pt....

  6. HR becoming pickier?

    SAHMStudent replied to want2banrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think the more likely, and even easier criteria with which to select a pool of applicants is ASN vs. BSN. I am not trying to start a debate here, but if HR is being "picky" and "choosy", then this...

  7. What stinks about new grad resumes

    SAHMStudent replied to SAHMStudent's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Areas where I can answer in a sentence are ok- but boxes where you check yes or no are what get me. Some apps have a place to explain, others don't. My cover letter is fine. I am happy with it. And I...

  8. How come people portray nursing so negatively on here?

    SAHMStudent replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    I think you may end up being one of the disillusioned To me, this is backwards. Job security is not as "secure" as you think it is, and if you read many of the posts on here, people are fearful of...

  9. Evolve HESI/tests/case studies

    SAHMStudent posted a topic in General Students

    My school participates with Evolve, the website put out by Elsevier. It costs us $70 a semester, and we have to do case studies and practice tests. The school is still trying to figure out how they...

  10. VENT: 2 Points away from getting an A

    SAHMStudent replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Students

    I'm nearing the end of my final semester, and so feel I have a small nugget of advice. Let it go. It took me 3.5 semesters to do this and I am the nicest mommy and wife I have been in a long time. I...

  11. Help Me Write My Ethics Paper =) By Giving Me Stories About Your Ethical Conflicts!!

    SAHMStudent replied to crshield's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    rofl at this. Not only at the OP but the suggestions to make up the whole paper. I know this is not the exact definition of Irony, but this is certainly in the arena. Also a little sad and

  12. Board of Nursing NCLEX application process

    SAHMStudent replied to Almost_there09's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Does your program not give you any direction or support on this matter? Check, because this may be already in the works for you. My school facilitates apps, background checks etc. Doesn't do them for...

    SAHMStudent replied to HealerWoman's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for posting this question! I often wondered this

  14. Gender/Race info on applications - to answer or not to answer?

    SAHMStudent replied to R!XTER's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm surprised this is even on an application. Maybe coming from a different field, in the private sector, I have NEVER seen this on an app. Is this due to govt. reimbursement? Actually shocked this is...

  15. What to do when you have two answers left on an exam?

    SAHMStudent replied to AllThingsPink's topic in General Students

    SOMEtimes, it may be, which one of these things just doesn't belong, which one of these things is not like the other ones? *singing in my head*. When you look at the answers and they seem similar,...

  16. Im in my final year- and incompetent.

    SAHMStudent replied to LR_C's topic in General Students

    I completely empathize. I just had this conversation with my husband the other night. I started crying I was so depressed. I feel like my brain is empty. Like I have no recall button, and even sitting...

  17. Can anyone become a nurse? When do I give up on being a nurse?

    SAHMStudent replied to satyadhi's topic in General Students

    I think there is a lot of pressure to continue in NS even when you have serious doubts that this is the career for you. It sounds like in your case you really love nursing, and it's your passion. It...

  18. can you make it all the way through nursing school on dishonesty alone?

    SAHMStudent replied to Desire2Learn's topic in General Students

    When I personally talk about "letting it go", I mean the anger over the cheaters. I mean serious, bad mojo anger. Not healthy for me. NS is stressful enough. I'm assuming that's what mi vida loca...

  19. can you make it all the way through nursing school on dishonesty alone?

    SAHMStudent replied to Desire2Learn's topic in General Students

    No, you are totally right about letting things go. It's a learning curve for me on that one. I really hope that with age comes a little wisdom.. and

  20. can you make it all the way through nursing school on dishonesty alone?

    SAHMStudent replied to Desire2Learn's topic in General Students

    I do know what you mean about not letting it get to me. BUT the cheating has been so bad at one time, I literally could not concentrate on an exam, because the whispers, the page turning and lifting...

  21. can you make it all the way through nursing school on dishonesty alone?

    SAHMStudent replied to Desire2Learn's topic in General Students

    I'm in my final semester and there are plenty of cheaters all around me! I have point blank turned them in, had profs see the cheating and yet, here they are, sitting in class next to me. Yeah, yeah,...

  22. Do you know how to find all the pulses?

    SAHMStudent replied to queenjulie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    the pedal pulse has been my enemy. Finally got it with help from my FF hubs. Make a "c" with your fingers and your thumb on the hand opposite the foot you want to check the pulse on (left hand right...

  23. Irish Travellers

    SAHMStudent replied to cjar107013's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I dont' think I'll be as helpful as madwife, but I did have experiences of a sort with the Travellers. I lived in Ireland off and on as a child, and my parents live there now. I only remember seeing...

  24. New Grads - where is there a nursing glut?

    SAHMStudent replied to spudbunny's topic in First Year After Licensure

    hahahahahaha...I was about to think this person was cra-a-aazy when I read this post, then realized it was still one of the 2008 posts. The times have def. changed. Competition is stiff here in the...

    SAHMStudent replied to MaresRN2B's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Anyone else notice that there are variances amongst schools and their requirements for the HESI? Each school has a different passing score, and some allow walking but no diploma, others disallow...
