  2. Life-changing decision...and I'm stumped

    Nemhain replied to jonnysgirl's topic in Nursing Career

    You certainly don't have to work in Critical CAre or the ER to be a nurse and you definitely don't need to be "touchy-feely". However, the part where you stated that you "don't have an overwhelming...

  3. Should BSNs be paid more?

    Nemhain replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    NO. I'll have my BSN in about a year and a half, but I don't think I should be paid any more money than another RN if we are doing the SAME job. A Registered Nurse is a Registered

  4. Are online RN-to-BSN programs honored by all hospitals?

    Nemhain replied to Nurse212's topic in General Nursing

    In the case of online learning, completing a RN to BSN is usually a safe bet if the program is accredited. Lots of people do online completion programs. Actually, I have yet to see or hear of a...

  5. Trouble at 19

    Nemhain replied to AdamA's topic in Men in Nursing

    Usually, it would be a felony offense that would put you at jeopardy of not receiving a nursing license or getting hired. Even if the felony were a drug charge in certain instances that may slide if...

  6. Did anybody to go to a Maricopa Community College?

    Nemhain replied to PaSsIoN_4_NuRsInG's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Just curious...Is it a competitive process (for admissions) or is it first-come first served (after meeting the minimum requirements)?

  7. Should I or should I not BECOME A NURSE??!

    Nemhain replied to browsing's topic in Nursing Career

    I've read all of your posts and those of the other members. From what I've read, I gather that you're freaked out about the work of nursing school and VERY concerned about the money. Two or three...

  8. (almost) new grad has question about device used at potential hospital..

    Nemhain replied to funinsun's topic in Nursing Career

    This sounds like the system that is at the hospital where my friend works. No record or statistics are kept. The unit secretary can only see what patient's room the nurse is in; they don't have...

  9. I made my first med error today

    Nemhain replied to luvdancink's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just think of how much worse this could have turned out. I'd be worried if this didn't bother you. Yes, it was a mistake, but you're human. Judging by the impact this has had on you, I think...

  10. Dell Axim x50 or Tungsten T5? Handhelds, PDA's

    Nemhain replied to skislalom's topic in General Nursing

    I've got a T5 and I love it. Yes, there are more downloads for Palm software, but the essential nursing stuff like Epocrates, Pepid and Taber's all come in Axim friendly software too! I agree with...

  11. tips for taking vitals

    Nemhain replied to chicagrl72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Aaah yes...and that was MY problem my first semester!!!! :chuckle "Um, teacher, I can't seem to ever hear someone BP; I think I'm going deaf." Good

  12. Why don't nursing schools offer ICU electives?

    Nemhain replied to Roland's topic in MICU, SICU

    Because it would be logical and actually help a student out...at least that's why they would never do it at my

  13. Wondering why you can't get hired or promoted? Resume + Interview hints!

    Nemhain replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    GPA not meeting requirements????? I've never heard of a hospital wanting to know your GPA. Good Lord!!! I thought that once you're an RN that would be it; no more school stuff.

  16. which PDA should I buy??

    Nemhain replied to lccougar02's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Tungsten T5 by Palm is what I have (it's got tons of space!). I downloaded Epocrates Essentials and I'm very happy with it. PEPID is also good program. I also have Tabers Medical Dictionary, which...

  17. Seriously, this waitlist thing has to stop...

    Nemhain replied to tlackey's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I don't know what kind of school you are going to, but are there any other schools in your area that just require a minimum GPA to be on a waiting list? My school had a 2.25 minimum GPA to get on the...

  18. Attempting to get in the program is frustrating me

    Nemhain replied to GirlCalledJack's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know nursing school wait-lists can drive people nuts...just hang in there. Even though you just need a few science courses to get on the wait-list, I think it would be a good idea to get a few of...

  19. NCLEX California waiting game

    Nemhain replied to mygrils's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Is California different from other states? How come you all just can't sign on to the Pearson site and see your results? Aren't they supposed to be up there with in 48 hrs? My friend (she's not in...

  20. What have you learned about yourself/family while you've been in school?

    Nemhain replied to NorthernRose's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone sounds as though they've got great support systems! I'm so happy for you all. I've learned that I'm not nearly as tolerant of passive-aggressive behavior as I thought I was and that...

  21. sick of ADN vs BSN! like most of us have a choice anyway!

    Nemhain replied to okie2's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There aren't BSN programs around where I live either. The closest ones are more than 2 hours away and with the price of gas who would want to drive that distance? It's funny...one of my nursing...

    Thanks Tanker! St. Joe's is another one that I'm interested in! Does St. Joe's also have a good sign on bonus and pay for NGs?

  23. Epocrates

    Nemhain replied to Christian_SN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Actually, nursing school is the best time to have a PDA programs like the ones mentioned above. Seasoned nurses may not need a PDA, but they're great for new RNs. By the way, the full version of...

    Nemhain replied to Nemhain's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi Suzanne. Are there any specific areas that are especially good like the ED, ICU or L&D? ...or are they just good all around?
