  1. Did RNs Have To Practice Bathing Each Other In NS

    futurecnm replied to me-too's topic in General Students

    yes, we did, in swim suits. It was fine. our school does not allow injection or anything invasive to be done to each other. I would have liked to try doing it on another person (besides as pt) the...

  2. New ED nurses who "know it all"

    futurecnm replied to rnflie's topic in Emergency

    So, you truly believe no new grad can succeed in the ER right away? I am curious as I start in July as a new grad. I did precept there in school and unfortunately (and fortunately) this was my only...

  3. "And it's all going to be your fault"

    futurecnm replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    You do sound a bit jaded, that is coming from a new graduate. However, maybe you are taking it as a personal thing when people are just not always nice. I'm sure dr's are asked for medical advice a...

  4. Burning Of The Uniforms.....

    futurecnm replied to RheatherN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    for those who want to get rid of their uniforms, please consider donating them to incoming students. I wish someone would have done that for our class. Our class this year donated them and hopefully...

  5. Nursing too gross for me?

    futurecnm replied to Pennfan's topic in General Nursing

    you do a lot of the dirty work in nursing school, especially first semester!! You to total patient care through school, which means all of the above. Catheters are no big deal, nothing gross about...

  6. Mid cirricular HESI test

    futurecnm replied to suprmom's topic in General Students

    you have been in nursing school for a minute?? still confused.... we have mid HESI's and end of each year HESI's. We also had a pharm HESI. I am also a mom of 2 and wife so I know the stresses of...

  7. Mid cirricular HESI test

    futurecnm replied to suprmom's topic in General Students

    for a minute??? I'm assuming that is a typo. I just was surprised you found it easy. I have had 4 HESI tests and not one was easy in the least. and if you got 76% it must not have been too easy!!...

  8. Confused. Whether I should drop Anatomy

    futurecnm replied to ThePretender's topic in General Nursing

    Withdraw and don't take A&P again unless you are really serious about nursing. I wouldn't take it if you are not going into nursing and if you struggle with A&P you will struggle with

  9. Mid cirricular HESI test

    futurecnm replied to suprmom's topic in General Students

    are you sure you took a HESI test? They are far from easy questions!!! ANd you usually are not given a percentage score, you are given a number and a percentile ranking. 76% is typically not passing...

  10. HESI! how do you feel about the test? does it actually prepare us for the NCLEX?

    futurecnm replied to baceball6's topic in General Students

    900 is NOT equivalent to 90% correct. It may be 90th percentile of test takers but not 90% of questions right. i know this because we just took exit hesi and i got over 900 and definately did not get...

    futurecnm replied to Womanonajourney1983's topic in General Nursing

    I am a soon to be ADN graduate with a previous bachelors degree. like someone else said, there are many options. I looked into an accelerated program but it was so expensive that I just couldn't do...

  12. will anyone ever hire me

    futurecnm replied to isadoragag's topic in General Nursing

    Is that really ALL that she is failing you for?? Did you do anything else that was unsafe or wrong?? I find it really hard to believe that you would not pass clinical due to that. I personally would...

  13. ED Interview.

    futurecnm replied to wildmountainchild's topic in Emergency

    where are you in MN? I just got a ED new grad job through Allina. They seem to have a lot of open

  14. Is There a Nursing Shortage in MN?

    futurecnm replied to andpeggy's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think there is a big shortage. I am a soon to be new grad and do have a job lined up but more because I had some connections and precepted where I wanted to work. I know many students in my...

  15. Getting into North Hennipen's nursing program

    futurecnm replied to kmariew's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just finishing up NHCC night/weekend program this week. I had good grades going in, but had all my pre-reqs done before applying. I know for a fact that not everyone had a 4.0 going in, but it...

  16. Need Ideas for Guest Speaker at Graduation

    futurecnm replied to 3sodapop's topic in General Students

  17. Pinning HELP!!

    futurecnm replied to LUVtxNursing's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow, 40 is a lot. Ours were also pretty expensive 20 something for the cheapest all the way up to hundreds. Someone in our class also designed her own and a few of us bought that one as well it was...

  18. Pinning HELP!!

    futurecnm replied to LUVtxNursing's topic in First Year After Licensure

    our school and many other schools around here have RN on them, along with a school logo. so, maybe it depends on the school and where you are. and obviously it does not make you an RN, anyone who is...

  19. Has this happened to any of you? I'm shocked..

    futurecnm replied to Kellied1983's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would be really, really careful about disclosing any physical limitations. I believe hospitals can have their own requirements for each job. I think it probably scared them that you had that type...

  20. Pinning HELP!!

    futurecnm replied to LUVtxNursing's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't all pinning pins have "RN" on them? they are nursing pins and all our options had RN on them. Does your school not allow you to plan a pinning? We do not automatically have one, the graduating...

  21. career question

    futurecnm replied to Mogol's topic in General Nursing

    There are many options, which makes it sometimes easier to work while having small children. I know I want to do nursing because of all the alternate shifts, less daycare, and more opportunities to...

  22. L&D so hard to get into....

    futurecnm replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Do you have nursing experience? I think maybe it depends on the hospital and how in need they are of RN's. If they can be picky they probably choose those with experience. However, I would think once...

  23. differences in adn rn

    futurecnm replied to thralls01's topic in General Nursing

    No, you don't have to be an LPN first. You can get an associates degree or a bachelors degree and both sit for the NCLEX and then both get RN after passing. Some do LPN first and bridge to RN...

  24. My family can't believe nurses don't get breaks

    futurecnm replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    In clinical we are all required to take lunch break. Our instructor told us that if we do not have time to take lunch then "you have not planned your day well". It is law that RN's (and all employees...

  25. Need Advice- non supportive SO

    futurecnm replied to STA29's topic in General Nursing

    I want to say just go for it anyway, but it is really hard to get through nursing school without support from your closest family. I had some family who had the same type of opinion of nurses as your...
