    clearblue3 replied to clearblue3's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the replies! I think I will sign up to volunteer and hope for the best!! :-) I am glad that it (or working as a CNA/tech) helped some of you get a job! A job at the end of all of this...

  2. work or volunteer while in school?

    clearblue3 posted a topic in General Students

    Hi! I am in nursing school and am wondering whether anyone has an opionion on whether it would be more beneficial to my future job search to work while in school or volunteer at the small hospital...

  3. work or volunteer while in school?

    clearblue3 replied to clearblue3's topic in General Students

    I will have to look more into the externships! I would do a CNA/tech job, but my CNA license ran out, and I really don't want to go back and get recertified. I could go take my LPN boards at this...

  4. work or volunteer while in school?

    clearblue3 replied to clearblue3's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the advice!! I wish that we had more nurse extern positions around here! I am by Madison, WI. so the big Madison hospitals have programs but I am pretty sure they are reserved for BSN...

  5. What is the hardest subject in the nursing curriculum, in your opinion?

    clearblue3 replied to DichloroacetateAl's topic in General Students

    I think it completely depends on the school and the instructor. I am in the third semester of the nursing program and so far the most difficult classes it seems have been mental health and CHA 1 (the...

    clearblue3 replied to BrittRN2B14's topic in General Students

  8. Flu Shots anyone?

    clearblue3 replied to sauconyrunner's topic in General Nursing

    I know some that will get a flu shot if it is a single dose--without thimerosal. I am not sure how much more expensive those are or how many would be persuaded by

  9. Advice for new nursing students!

    clearblue3 replied to BrittRN2B14's topic in General Students

    Don't be afraid to ask lots of questions! Some concepts can be complicated or confusing and sometimes the textbook can have way more information than you need to know as an RN (at least ours do). If...

  10. Any homeschooling nursing students?

    clearblue3 replied to Melseal's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the encouragement and the website link!! And I wanted to pass on what I just read on another post...the advice was to find a place to study away from home! It is difficult (especially...

  11. Any homeschooling nursing students?

    clearblue3 replied to Melseal's topic in General Students

    It sounds like you are pretty organized! We are homeschooling but mine are 4 and 7 and one on the way :-) So we haven't been at it that long...still trying to figure out what works best and they...

  14. Herzing University FNP online?

    clearblue3 replied to MecoNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No, not that bad I suppose! I had no idea what a program like that cost! I was just confused since I thought you were saying not go to Herzing because $38,000 seemed too high, but I think I misread...

  15. Herzing University FNP online?

    clearblue3 replied to MecoNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    $60,000 for your DNP?? Wow!! or is that a typo? I noticed you said "only?" I have always wondered how much a DNP

  16. Herzing University FNP online?

    clearblue3 replied to MecoNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi! Which Herzing are you looking at? If you search "Herzing" you will find some opinions. I know the one in Madison, WI does not have a good reputation for their RN program. I am not sure if it...

  17. Nursing classes are easy...

    clearblue3 replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Definitely more difficult than I thought it would be! I am at a tech school right now to get my ADN, and I feel like it is definitely more difficult than when I got my BS at a large university! :-)...

  18. BSN right after ADN?

    clearblue3 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all! I am wondering if doing an RN to BSN program right after my ADN program would be a mistake or not. I would not be able to work at the same time which is what i worry about so I would just be...

  19. What is the hardest course you have ever taken and why?

    clearblue3 replied to ginna121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought calculus 1 & 2 were my hardest courses...before nursing school that is! Now my most difficult course has been Med/Surg 2. My brain is tired just thinking about it :-) Kind of like AP...

  20. Opinions please asap

    clearblue3 replied to promote.health's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Only if you can take your family with you. 2 years old is too young to understand why you are suddenly gone all of the time. And I can't imagine missing out on those precious years. Just my opinion...

  21. Nursing exams - testing your patience

    clearblue3 replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Wow! I can't imagine having to wait that long for results! We go through the answers as soon as everyone is done taking them. Then they run the scantrons later...but you pretty much know what you...

  22. Fluid And Electrolytes!!!!

    clearblue3 replied to TruDivaRN's topic in General Students

    You are both right! Calcium and Magnesium are both inversely proportionate to Phosphorus because Ca and Mg tend to be low or high

  23. take time off?

    clearblue3 replied to clearblue3's topic in General Nursing

    I thought I remembered you working in corrections! No, I haven't had Deb at all...I haven't heard of her so maybe she isn't teaching in BD anymore?? Did you have Maggie at all? She is phenomenal in...

  24. take time off?

    clearblue3 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Would it be career suicide to stop at the LPN point in my program if I couldn't work as an LPN for several years? Does not getting a job right away pretty much mean your career is over? I am...

    clearblue3 replied to clearblue3's topic in General Nursing

    Hi chevyv! Things are pretty good at MPTC. I can't remember how long ago you were there, but people have said that things have really changed in the last couple of years. I guess they made the...
