  1. H1N1 vaccine & clinical

    ybq2008 replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in General Students

    I got the vaccine last week. I had similar concerns, but at the end of it all, I didn't want to make my patients sick in the clinical setting. H1N1 is really spreading here, so I'm sure I've already...

  2. ATI at the end of each semester...

    ybq2008 replied to OrthoFNP's topic in General Students

    We had our ATI exams last week. I found that the unproctored study exams were more difficult than the actual exam. Our grading structure was the same a s the previous poster; 1-60%, 2-70%, 3-80%,...

  3. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    ybq2008 replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Kelayy, My undergraduate GPA wasn't as competitive and I was worried about my chances when I applied too. I had strong GRE scores, recommendations, and a great personal statement as well. Although my...

  4. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    ybq2008 replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I have a classmate who has a great pep talk about making the UNC/Duke decision. I'll see if I can get him to post here. I'd say, even with the additional expense of 10K, Duke is very worth it. My...

  5. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    ybq2008 replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I was just browsing the board and I came across this thread :) I was in your exact position this time last year and now I'm wrapping up my first semester in the ABSN program! My recommendations are as...

  6. My 1st Post - Starting BSN program next month... having doubts..

    ybq2008 replied to Lools's topic in General Students

    Having butterflies about starting nursing school is completely normal. I felt the same way a few weeks before school started for me this past fall. Unfortunately, you're the only one who knows if this...

  7. Nurses with tattoos, is it acceptable?

    ybq2008 replied to sweetlyn_violet's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in nursing school and we practice skills on classmates. I've seen several tattoos. You should be okay, as long as they're covered of course

  8. No nursing jobs in 2012 ???

    ybq2008 replied to rawoysteraddict's topic in General Nursing

    This is a scary thread. I don't know if projecting the job outlook is realistic or constructive. :sofahider

  9. Duke MSN program

    ybq2008 replied to pandapixie's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm an ABSN student at Duke and I completely agree with Tammy. My goal is to pursue the DNP when I graduate next year and I have been told it is very competitive, even as an internal applicant. I...

  10. To join or not to join a Professional Nursing Organization...

    ybq2008 replied to **All Heart RN**'s topic in General Nursing

  11. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    ybq2008 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    UUgggh. That's all I can tactfully say right now,

  12. Fellow student is....a little stinky

    ybq2008 replied to wants2BRN's topic in General Students

    I don't think that person meant anything offensive by that. But what she mentioned is a fact; some cultures place less of an emphasis on bathing. Ironically enough, I'm in my first semester of nursing...

  13. I got hired on the spot!!!

    ybq2008 replied to aromarn's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations! You've worked hard and you're finally seeing the fruits of your labor. I totally agree with this. I had a "dream job" a couple of years ago that turned out to be a nightmare. God...

  14. Med school for experienced CRNA?

    ybq2008 replied to SpouseofChicagoCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    There aren't really any shortcuts to med school that I'm aware of... If your wife is satisfied in her career, she may benefit more from working on her ability to stand up to disrespectful colleagues....

  15. Soooo. . . Am I Hired??

    ybq2008 replied to kemkem's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone's responses have been very supportive and encouraging :) I would also like to add something a little different. Be careful with on the spot hiring like that. I have seen multiple times in the...

  16. Advice about two undergraduate degrees

    ybq2008 replied to Weeezy's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say, get the degree if you think it will always nag at you. You're only 5 courses away, I think that would nag at me too. The master's programs in the US will be here when you're finished and as...

  17. I dont care what part of the United States you live in!!!

    ybq2008 replied to SDA3694's topic in General Nursing

    I'm from Oklahoma City, so it's great to hear the job market is good there. I may move home after NS

  18. How to report my boss

    ybq2008 replied to Angela.RN2B's topic in General Nursing

    Why are you so hostile? You're making it hard to see your point in posting on this

  19. How to report my boss

    ybq2008 replied to Angela.RN2B's topic in General Nursing

    If you had read my post carefully, you would have seen that I did not imply that. I simply mentioned that this site is full of helpful and well-intentioned people with a valid point; as well as those...

  20. How to report my boss

    ybq2008 replied to Angela.RN2B's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP, I've had a similar experience in non-nursing positions. Being disrespected, harassed, and sabotaged for being young, competent, and black. Some find it threating, and depending on where...

  23. Going back to school for a nursing degree. Good idea?

    ybq2008 replied to Ted D's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't say that's the case. To the OP: I was accepted into an accelerated BSN program at a very competitive and high ranked university. My undergraduate grads were not very competitive, but I had...

    ybq2008 replied to WoofyMutt80's topic in General Nursing

    My point in posting was to provide some insight. You can feel/think however you choose, I simply posted to share some potential reasoning. Half of the problem with cultural sensitivity in this country...

    ybq2008 replied to WoofyMutt80's topic in General Nursing

    I want to start off by saying that I understand your frustration, and I'm sorry you're having a hard time finding a job. I had similar issues earlier this year, so I can definitely empathize. Your...
