  1. How to survive 1st year of nursing school

    lemidora posted a topic in General Students

    Well, I just finished my first year of nursing school and decided I'd share some insights on how to survive this oh-so-feared first year. Please feel free to contribute from your experiences! :)...

  2. Mount Royal Nursing program

    lemidora replied to Beebop25's topic in International Nursing

    iluvoranges, both of the 1100 gned courses are fairly easy. I took 1102 and found it interesting and easy. I heard 1101 was a piece of cake as well. Any gned you take will have papers and assignments...

  3. Athabasca courses?

    lemidora replied to Daisy_08's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I took the globalization course through them (one of my school's gen. ed requirements) in the summer as I wanted an easier course load during the semester. I didn't find it too bad. The syllabus was...

  4. Reports between nurses and CNAs

    lemidora replied to Cuddleswithpuddles's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am starting as an NA on an acute care burn unit in a couple of weeks and the unit manager has told me that she likes for nurses and NA's to have a mini meeting at the beginning of the shift to...

  5. Palliative care clinical- how to deal with...

    lemidora posted a topic in General Students

    Hey guys! So I am finally here. I'm finally starting clinicals in a week. Exciting, right? One problem- palliative care unit is the one thing that scares me to death. It's not the idea of patients...

    Thanks everyone for the advice! Makes me feel less nervous about the upcoming semester

  7. Mount Royal Nursing program

    lemidora replied to Beebop25's topic in International Nursing

    It's not possible to request the times for your clinicals. All clinicals have set days- for example, you first round (nurs 1214) will be on mondays, your second round (nurs 2114) will either be...

  8. Mount Royal Nursing program

    lemidora replied to Beebop25's topic in International Nursing

    Yes, you can take general courses over the summer to lighten things up during the year but I should warn you that there is a lot of people that like to do that so you could be out of luck if you're at...

  9. So, we don't learn how to do IVs in nursing school?

    lemidora replied to i<3u's topic in General Students

    In my program they get us to start practicing IVs in lab on mannequins in the second year and then we're allowed to do them on patients at the end of third

  10. Just how difficult is nursing school?

    lemidora replied to michele742's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is as difficult as you let it be. If you freak out over every assignment and test, school won't be kind to you. If you put in the effort, you'll be just fine. It sounds like you know...

  11. Job application- Alberta Health Service website.

    lemidora replied to MissMcCoy's topic in Canada

    Thanks, I'll definitely keep that in mind! (Here's hoping I never actually have to act on it). Until then... back to my

  12. Job application- Alberta Health Service website.

    lemidora replied to MissMcCoy's topic in Canada

    It was at Foothills where I was told that. I was definitely taken aback that staff could openly say that. I'm not trying to be disrespectful or anything, but just want to put it out there that it...

  13. Job application- Alberta Health Service website.

    lemidora replied to MissMcCoy's topic in Canada

    "Getting a job through the website is the ONLY way to be hired by AHS, internal applicant or not." janfrn, I realize that you have a lot of experience and know way more than some little second year...

  14. Job application- Alberta Health Service website.

    lemidora replied to MissMcCoy's topic in Canada

    You are honestly the first person I've heard that from. Maybe there's hope for the rest of us

  15. Job application- Alberta Health Service website.

    lemidora replied to MissMcCoy's topic in Canada

    Are you an internal applicant? If not, then you are probably out of luck. I have been applying for a year now and the only kind of response I've gotten are emails saying that "due to unforeseen...

    lemidora posted a topic in International Nursing

    Hey everyone! I wanted to get your guys' opinion on the topic of CRNE prep guides. I'm in my second year of nursing school right now and I was wondering if it's a smart idea to get Mosby's and...

  17. Buying CRNE prep guides early on in the program

    lemidora replied to lemidora's topic in International Nursing

    That's a great idea! It never even crossed my mind to borrow the ones from the library. Thanks! I really like the program so far. Not going to lie- first year was a bit of a drag because I didn't have...

  18. Starting nursing program next month.... am I ready?

    lemidora replied to cccormier's topic in International Nursing

    Ditto on time management and not having to read every single page you're assigned. What I did for my nursing classes in first year is get together with a group of people and divide up the work. Every...

  23. Positive tb test!

    lemidora replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

    Don't get worried before you get your x-ray results. A doc told me once that the tb test has a higher chance of turning out to be a false positive the older you are. Another explanation could be that...

    lemidora replied to lemidora's topic in International Nursing

    You can also ask your instructors if they know of any volunteer opportunities within hospitals because a lot of times they have way better insight into these kinds of things. Another thing you can do...
