  2. RN to BSN online

    EDRN-2010 replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    This school sounds almost too good to be true. According to their catalog not only can you complete the program in 2 semesters..BUT TWO SUMMER sessions?! So you could graduate in May with an ADN,...

  3. somethign to help prevent scarring

    EDRN-2010 replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    My PT gave me this trick once that might be similar to your hydrogel. He had strips of sticky silicone that the hospital used with chest leads that they were going to throw out due to getting new...

  4. Tips? Hope to work on unit...

    EDRN-2010 replied to EDRN-2010's topic in General Nursing

    That is a pretty neat little book! The report sheet I made was kind of hospital specific - the right column lists the items we must document Q4H and Q2H, like the first section I would do at the...

    EDRN-2010 replied to zuzi's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  6. Tips? Hope to work on unit...

    EDRN-2010 replied to EDRN-2010's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! You bring up a good point, I can't fit 2 of those on 1 sheet let alone 4! Maybe if I took off the left column with my am shift report info and other data and I could probably use both sides...

    EDRN-2010 replied to crazylilkelly's topic in General Nursing

    When I company has a drug testing program, it is often handled by an independant agency (this was my job in my life before nursing) The company (hospital) when signing up with this agency will provide...

  8. My Fear of needlesticks

    EDRN-2010 replied to mrsharris81's topic in General Nursing

    The suggested use for these gloves is listed as "Electronics assembly, light industrial, light waste handling." The pair that states sharps removal, turtleskin multiguard gloves, definetly wouldn't...

  9. salary vs hourly...FT vs PT....what to expect in pay??

    EDRN-2010 replied to georgiapeachNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So basically, you are getting paid less than $30 an hour. I'm not a NP but that is not right. Maybe the MD doesn't realize he is paying you so little, maybe he does, either way you should lay out...

  10. Worried

    EDRN-2010 replied to Nightingale11's topic in General Students

    It is difficult to memorize things and actually remember them when you are not actively using them in your day to day practice. I took pharm fairly early in my prereq classes and honestly didn't learn...

  12. Anyone at all willing to give any input? Please

    EDRN-2010 replied to FutrNurse123's topic in General Students

    I had a 1.5 GPA from my first year of college 10 years ago for the very same reason as you. I did a fresh start with the college (they wipe out your bad grades and give you a fresh start) and plugged...

  13. When to apply for jobs? May 2010 grad

    EDRN-2010 replied to SarahLovesNovember's topic in General Nursing

    The application doesn't say to list clinical, I just feel it is important to list because it is the only medical experience that I have and the rotations I chose were some of the most challenging...

  14. PLEASE HELP!!! so embarassed about sweating!

    EDRN-2010 replied to Bumashes's topic in General Nursing

    That is a pretty serious procedure with many risks. They are cutting nerves in your throacic cavity. A last resort I guess. I opted away from this, but to each there own. I suffered from...

  15. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    EDRN-2010 replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think like 6000 people have agreed that the pearsonview trick works. It is a computerized test, the results are sent to pearsonview immediately so of course it will know, the 48 hr thing is just a...

  16. When to apply for jobs? May 2010 grad

    EDRN-2010 replied to SarahLovesNovember's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital's system does not allow you to add sections. HR told me that their system does not have a spot for clinical rotations to be listed. I wasn't going to argue with the woman but she came...

    EDRN-2010 replied to Megan Laura's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Don't drive yourself nuts over the long weekend. Do the pearsonview trick. No sense in worrying for days. Good luck and keep posted! BTW, the exam stops at many different number 75, 79, 234, 258,

  18. When to apply for jobs? May 2010 grad

    EDRN-2010 replied to SarahLovesNovember's topic in General Nursing

    I think (at least where I live) that the new grad market has changed alot in the last few years. I have friends that graduated 3 and 4 years ago that said they began applying for hospital positions...

  19. Is it Possible to pass Exams Just by doing Lots of Practice Questions?

    EDRN-2010 replied to Felicia327's topic in General Students

    We ONLY get multiple choice questions on our exams with the exception of the 5 math problems on each exam. The exams have 100 questions (we get 4 each term) and each counts as 22.5% of our grade....

    EDRN-2010 replied to brittany_micah's topic in General Students

  23. Do You Have To Memorize Generic Names for Meds?

    EDRN-2010 replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Students

    I find knowing the generic names is far more useful than the brand names. Many classes of drugs have similar endings in their names - like beta blockers end in "olol" The NCLEx gives you both generic...
