  1. My final Practicum is in the ED...suggestions?

    SAHMStudent replied to malestudentnurse's topic in General Students

    Nothing to suggest from experience...soooo jealous though. When I observed in the ER a few times last semester, I just looked at the board, found nurses who needed help, and did anything and...

  2. Do you actually READ your nursing books or just skim?

    SAHMStudent replied to starmickey03's topic in General Students

    I only skim in desperate time-crunch situations. I wish I was a more effective textbook reader. I take copious notes and highlight often. I also tab pages with the sideboxes for quick reference when...

    SAHMStudent posted a topic in General Students

    So classes start this week, and I have serious butterflies. No, make that giant Luna moths trying to beat their way out. I am wayyyy more nervous than I have been any other semester, and I've been...

  4. HELP!! My husband is killing my study schedule...

    SAHMStudent replied to ginmarada's topic in General Students

    One more thought for you. Find out what your husband's commitment level to your nursing dream is. After three semesters with a similar attitude from DH (I want to to achieve your goals/you really...

  5. Calvert Memorial/ Civista or St. Mary's Hospital?

    SAHMStudent posted a topic in Maryland Nursing

    Anyone know anything about any of these hospitals other than the PR on their websites? I'd love to work in a decent trauma center (so far still my first choice after 3 semesters of nursing...

  6. What CPR is best?

    SAHMStudent posted a topic in Emergency

    I need to renew my CPR (expires in Jan) and I am wondering which one is best. I understand that some ER's will give you on the job ACLS or PALS, but if I can do it on my own this summer I will. Will...

  7. What CPR is best?

    SAHMStudent replied to SAHMStudent's topic in Emergency

    Hmmm....ok I have basic for healthcare providers as required by my school, but was thinking that I could save myself some time when I graduate by renewing now. I thought that I could sub in ACLS for...

  9. Interested in the VA

    SAHMStudent posted a topic in Government, Military

    Hi, I'm looking for more information about opportunitie in the VA. I have tried looking on their website, but am confused as to what the titles mean (I understand what a clinic is of course and a...

  10. Interested in the VA

    SAHMStudent replied to SAHMStudent's topic in Government, Military

    The time lag actually works for my time line (want to increase my family) so I have no problem with the slow grind of govt. paperwork. But that brings up my second question; Better to be in a civilian...

  11. Interested in the VA

    SAHMStudent replied to SAHMStudent's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks! Why couldn't I find that? Grrr...is this part of a test to see if you're smart enough to be hired?

  12. A quiz to help you choose your nursing specialty...

    SAHMStudent replied to SoulShine75's topic in General Students

    I wonder how many of the "matches" are made because the quiz taker already has an area in mind, and is either subconsciously or consciously thinking about that area while answering questions. The...

  13. Nurses-Read this and respond to Dr. Ablow

    SAHMStudent replied to GilaRRT's topic in General Nursing

    I know I am just a naive nursing student, but I am truly saddened by this article. I guess I have not had the exposure to the seamy underbelly of medicine that is backbiting and infighting amongst...

  14. where does one begin?

    SAHMStudent replied to audacia's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am finding the Saunders NCLEX prep book to be very helpful during school. I use it to quiz myself to prep for tests, or as a way to read quickly about an upcoming topic I did not read thoroughly...

    SAHMStudent replied to JakeF's topic in General Students

    okay...thanks for the link. I *thought* might have been it, but didn't want to insult anyone by inferring they were like

  16. Filipino Cultural Conflict

    SAHMStudent replied to JakeF's topic in General Students

    I've never heard of the CRAB mentality..can you explain this to me? There are a lot of Filipino's in my area and so far, all the Filipino RN's I've followed have been great. Or would this not be...

    SAHMStudent replied to mommymandy's topic in General Students

    Wouldn't you also love to know where all the players in this mini-drama ended up? Did the OP pass her boards? Did the idiot student pass? Did they get jobs and kill anyone.....dun dun

  18. Nursing Student...final clinical rotation before graduation

    SAHMStudent replied to lubdubmyjob's topic in General Students

    lol. Think of it this way....when you first started as a server you were probably given less than 5 tables at a time, could barely get your act together to not **** off your co-workers and customers,...

  19. How long did it take you to find a job after graduation?

    SAHMStudent replied to Unique87's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I can't get a tech job or even volunteer this summer (I'll be helping with the family business), so I feel behind the ball. The tips about getting a head start are great. Looks like that's my only...

  20. What purpose does the HESI test serve?

    SAHMStudent replied to fencikboy's topic in General Students

    My school (to it's detriment IMO) does not have admission tests. My program uses 6 core classes GPA and overall GPA as well as completed co-reqs in determining entrance. I have been told that the...

  21. GPA & Life -somethings gotta give

    SAHMStudent posted a topic in General Students

    I responded to the post below about nursing school GPA, and thought more about my response. I think this merits it's own thread. I started NS with a 3.7 GPA and have watched it slowly sink towards a...

    SAHMStudent replied to spritez's topic in General Students

    Wrapping up my third semester and once again, I am mere points away from an A in more than one class. I entered nursing school with a 3.7, and have been slowly sinking thanks to one B after another....

    SAHMStudent replied to CanadianORNurse's topic in General Nursing

    As a student, I do not yet have the experience of working in a hospital to be very specific. But as a former professional, and a manager, I can say what I would do. Make sure that you have followed...

  24. PGCC Spring 2011

    SAHMStudent replied to mizzmonick19's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I can't imagine that they really look very hard at residence to be honest. It's all by core GPA (A&P 1&2, Micro, Mat 135? or higher or stats, Psy 101, Eng 101) then overall GPA, then by...

  25. Do you ever sit and wonder.....?
