  1. Surgical Tech Or Rn?? Help!

    fromtheseaRN replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Nursing

    i had the same problem, and went for the RN (still in school). if you ever decide you want to take a break from OR, there are so many other avenues you can take if you are a RN, you are never stuck in...

  2. Planning advice needed

    fromtheseaRN replied to Whole Life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    exactly. nursing school is NOTHING like your pre-reqs. seriously, you have to put everything you have into it, and there is no reason to try to make it harder than it already is. i wish i had done it...

  3. trichomoniasis and metronidazole allergy?

    fromtheseaRN replied to fromtheseaRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    i think it's just a difference in terminology, we call it C&S here (culture and sensitivity). ABS here is a blood serum test that looks for syphilis antibodies (technically FTA-ABS). trich is a...

  4. trichomoniasis and metronidazole allergy?

    fromtheseaRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    i am a nursing student and i volunteer at a health clinic. last week we had a pt who had previously been treated for bacterial vaginosis with clindamycin 300mg bid x7 days. she came back and the...

  5. trichomoniasis and metronidazole allergy?

    fromtheseaRN replied to fromtheseaRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    hahahhaha! very punny! tindamax is tinidazole, so we were trying to get away from that because of her -azole

  6. trichomoniasis and metronidazole allergy?

    fromtheseaRN replied to fromtheseaRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    the only test i know called ABS is to test for syphillis, is this a different one? trich is diagnosed by viewing the protozoa under microscope, something that this free clinic doesn't have readily on...

  7. trichomoniasis and metronidazole allergy?

    fromtheseaRN replied to fromtheseaRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    a specimen was taken and sent to a lab, i haven't been back since then so i'm not sure what the results were. the NP went ahead and ordered the tinidazole in the meantime based on the infection not...

  8. SCC Block One Hazing

    fromtheseaRN replied to Bormio's topic in Arizona Nursing

    this is normal, at least in my case. i was surprised when i started how much lecture and theory it is, compared to how little skills. try to embrace it now- block one is super light compared to the...

  9. Just got my BSN, but I don't feel any smarter

    fromtheseaRN replied to Le-Lee_FNP's topic in General Nursing

    it's so nice to see a strong, positive post on an! thanks for

  10. SCC Block One Hazing

    fromtheseaRN replied to Bormio's topic in Arizona Nursing

    without specifics it's hard for me to assume what you experienced. at glendale you definitely have to go with the flow and be where you are supposed to be when you are supposed to be there, no...

  11. Going into Nursing; what are the benefits of going from RN to BSN?

    fromtheseaRN replied to Lhopk09's topic in General Nursing

    you can get your RN license with an associates or a bachelors degree. BSN offers you more education in research and management. it seems that employers do prefer bachelors degrees, but most do hire...

  12. vaccinations and tests needed for nursing school?

    fromtheseaRN replied to AmericanChai's topic in Arizona Nursing

    yes, a titer measures the antibodies to prove that you have had the vaccine. you have to get vaccinated, or get titers drawn to prove that you have been vaccinated

  13. Did anyone attend the Nursing Panel Discussion at GCC?

    fromtheseaRN replied to mom2twinz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    it's hard. really hard. but, if you want it bad enough, you'll be able to do it. good

  14. Pay rate

    fromtheseaRN replied to yelnikmcwawa's topic in Arizona Nursing

    i hate to take the bait, but seriously.... see the above quote? dorimar did answer your question. nobody, NOBODY, made any comment to you about the pay rate, they commented on how we should be making...

  15. Pay rate

    fromtheseaRN replied to yelnikmcwawa's topic in Arizona Nursing

    i think it's safe to assume that everyone here agrees with all that you said... but this wasn't the old argument of "don't be a nurse for money". dorimar raised the topic that nurses should make way...

  16. Why is there a nurse when you have a midwife with hospital birth?

    fromtheseaRN replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in Ob/Gyn

    thank you cayenne06 for the clarification- i have only had experience with midwives at several of my friend's homebirths, and was unaware of whether they had hospital privileges or

  17. SCC accelerated class schedule for classes

    fromtheseaRN replied to iversonmourning's topic in Arizona Nursing

    i don't go to scc, but i highly doubt these include your co-requisites. when you enter the program, mccdnp only schedules your actual nursing courses, it is up to you to schedule your own...

  18. Why is there a nurse when you have a midwife with hospital birth?

    fromtheseaRN replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in Ob/Gyn

    i'm guessing it was that hospital's policy? was she a midwife, but not a certified nurse midwife? here you can be a midwife, or a RN-midwife, so if she wasn't a RN midwife perhaps the hospital...

  19. Bio 202 via PCC

    fromtheseaRN replied to lilmac81's topic in Arizona Nursing

    i took 201 in person at phoenix college, and 202 online through phoenix college. although i finished 202 with a B, i really wish i had taken it in person- i do better with lecture and in-person...

  20. Was nursing really for me?

    fromtheseaRN replied to nativehunny's topic in General Nursing

    exactly what everyone else said: home health, school nursing, medical office, outpatient surgical center. there are many, many options available to

  21. How much will books and supplies cost for Nursing School?

    fromtheseaRN replied to bellabarbiegirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    the website price is accurate, however my school's bookstore had a box deal for all of the books at a discounted price. i think we saved about $150 or so. i had wanted to buy used to save more, but...

  22. Pay rate

    fromtheseaRN replied to yelnikmcwawa's topic in Arizona Nursing

    fwiw, from an outsider's perspective, dorimar's comment didn't appear to be doing any of those things.:) aside from that, i'd say that's a really good offer. i haven't heard of any new grad pay higher...

  23. morning sickness but not pregnant

    fromtheseaRN replied to ICU_RN_BSN's topic in General Nursing

    this happens to me also, i cannot remember a time when i wasn't nauseous in the morning. and the earlier i get up, the worse it is... which is a bummer when i have to get up at 4am for my clinicals. i...

  24. Which Maricopa CC has shortest wait list?

    fromtheseaRN replied to lilmac81's topic in Arizona Nursing

    yep, there are no wait lists at the universities. you must reapply each semester to be considered. also, the maricopa community colleges are at a 5-6 semester wait now (approx. 3 years). abvincent1,...

  25. IS IT POSSIBLE??

    fromtheseaRN replied to EILEEN456's topic in General Nursing

    there are rn-bsn online programs in my state. the only difference here between the associates and bachelors is the amount of lecture and research you complete. both programs have the same amount of...
