  1. Getting Frustrated w/ Classmates

    futurecnm replied to Kathyz's topic in General Students

    I'd probably say I'd forward them to them over email. I wouldn't give them out to anyone. I wouldn't have a problem sharing though, they won't have the benefit of having typed them and learned them...

  2. Advice? New student to be....

    futurecnm replied to nurseontheway's topic in General Nursing

    I am in my 2nd year of an associates degree RN program. I have a 7 yr old boy and 5 yr old girl. Fortunately I am able to stay at home with them while I go to school. Can't imagine working full...

  3. does anyone ever put job offers on their resume?

    futurecnm replied to holdensjane's topic in Nursing Career

    No, this is not appropriate...it may come across as bragging and a job offer is not considered

  5. Best Scrubs for Fatties

    futurecnm replied to peds4now's topic in General Nursing

    I also have to chime in that you aren't fat by any means. You might not be where you want to be weightwise but that isn't fat for your height. I'd like to lose about 15 lb also, so good luck! i am...

  6. RNs-Doctors, Mother/Baby Vs. L&D, and other Questions

    futurecnm replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have been thinking about an internship. (which may be crazy since that would add another day to my schedule) I really, really admire my OB and would love to work/learn under her and her nurses. She...

  7. Nursing Programme in less than 2 years anywhere in the U.S.A.??

    futurecnm replied to gobejo's topic in General Nursing

    If you have a bachelors degree you can apply for an accel. bachelors program, usually 18 months. however, there still are probably some pre-reqs you would need to finish

  8. preceptor gifts

    futurecnm posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am finishing up my summer internship next week. I have had 3 preceptors during the summer, and would love to get them a nice gift that doesn't cost too much. I have had 2 main ones and 1 that filled...

  9. RNs-Doctors, Mother/Baby Vs. L&D, and other Questions

    futurecnm replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am an AD student, one year left yay! I, too, went into nursing after having my 2 kids and thinking I wanted to do OB, possibly CNM one day. However, after my first year I have SO many other...

  10. IUD Pregnancies

    futurecnm replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is pretty harsh, don't ya think? I think birth control is a very personal choice and each type has it's pros/cons. do you have some research that shows that IUD's allow the conceptual process to...

  11. Is this unprofessional?

    futurecnm replied to Emma123's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think that a dressy outfit is more appropriate. I have changed in a restroom many times when I am going from one place to the next. I don't think it is appropriate to wear such casual dress to an...

  12. Sticky situation to work as an LNA after passing Nclex-RN

    futurecnm replied to lna2rn's topic in General Nursing

    Someone in IA told me that you aren't allowed to work as a NA after passing boards. I am not sure of this though, and not sure if this is the case in every state or

  13. Which path is better to become a nurse?

    futurecnm replied to SparklyGirl's topic in General Nursing

    I also have a Bach of engineering and am now a nursing student doing an associates 2 yr program. My reasons for going this route were money (like $19K cheaper than the accel. program) and my family....

    i worked in hospice/pall care one day for clincals and most of the meds were crushed and put into food for the pts. it was very common on that floor. i have not heard about it being a violation or...

  15. LVN or RN and more

    futurecnm replied to Brandi8's topic in General Nursing

    Go for RN if you want OB, but be prepared that you may change your mind many times in nursing school which area you are most interested in. I went into it wanting OB also (as did over half of my...

  16. So Depressed!!!

    futurecnm replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that is too bad. I'm sorry you don't have any options for childcare. Do you have night classes you can take? I know sometimes it is easier to find childcare in the evenings. I took all my...

  17. night shift and dogs

    futurecnm replied to adnstudent2007's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how big your dogs are, or if you have a kennel they use in the home, but that is what we do with our dog whenever we are gone. She gets too nervous alone in the house to be left out....

  18. Is this career right for me? Sharing some thoughts!

    futurecnm replied to EnduringFaith's topic in General Nursing

    Only you can determine the correct path for yourself. If you are starting out not sure, then maybe you already know it isn't for you. I would not start a nursing program if you are unsure or if you...

    futurecnm replied to ldarav7's topic in General Nursing

    it is very overwhelming at first. Don't give up. YOu can do anything you set your mind

  20. HOURS of Nursing Jobs

    futurecnm replied to googs's topic in General Nursing

    I think it would be tough to find these hours as a new grad. I don't know any new grads who get straight days around here. They may get rotating day/nights/evenings but not only days. I am in the...

  21. Time for a change........

    futurecnm replied to longtime nrs's topic in General Nursing

    I would say to keep your license if at all possible, like others said you never know what may come up in the future and you may be glad you kept it. There are some non-bedside type jobs that still may...

  22. Med Surge

    futurecnm replied to Deee23's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what you mean by makes or breaks you, I hadn't heard that. Med-surg is where most students start clinicals because it is general adult acute care. You will see a lot of different types...

  23. how to deal with anxiety

    futurecnm replied to august07's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure almost every nurse feels some anxiety from time to time, but I don't think everyone has "attacks". As a student I've had lots of anxiety but never what I'd call an anxiety

  24. Nervous about Clincals

    futurecnm replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't have any experience before clinicals either, and I got through my first year last week! It sounds as though we had a bit more practice than you did on doing vitals, we had to test out with...

  25. LPN to RN through testing?

    futurecnm replied to mc3's topic in General Nursing

    People in accelerated programs do go to clinical like the rest of us in nursing school. It is a very intense program that covers all the info that is in a 2 year program, just condensed into 18...
