  1. What is the maximum number of patients per nurse?

    ranidays replied to Info(RN)matics's topic in Medical-Surgical

    These ratios are TERRIFYING oh my gosh. I work on a 38 bed med/surg unit (focus on nephrology/urology pts and we take vents from ICU) in a mid-sized hospital in ND. Our ratios are 3-4:1 on days and...

  3. Things You Know Now (And Wish You'd Known Then!)

    ranidays replied to x_factor's topic in General Students

    Some of these may have already been stated, but this is my list :) 1. As many people on here have already said, nursing school is EXPENSIVE. Let's just say when I first started nursing school (now in...

  4. Do you remember???

    ranidays replied to K nurse-one-day's topic in General Students

    I was terrified when I received my letter... they straight out told us at an information meeting that if we got in, it would be in a big brown envelope, and if we didn't it would just be a...

  5. Nursing School Must Haves??

    ranidays replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

    A planner, preferably a giant one because you'll take up lots of space:lol2: I personally LOOOOOOOOVE sticky notes. I'm obsessed. If it's not on a sticky note somewhere visible, I'll forget. I'm so...

  7. 700 pages of reading, per week, for one class

    ranidays replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Students

    I really get a kick out of how some professors think the excessive reading assigned is actually DOABLE. I have a prof this upcoming semester who seems pretty hardcore, but I don't think she'd do that...

  8. Help with a Health Promotion Project

    ranidays replied to plumstethoscope's topic in General Students

    We just did a project like this too! We didn't have to do an actual presentation, we just did poster boards and set them up in clusters for people in the nursing/pharmacy building to come check out...

  9. What color are your school uniforms?

    ranidays replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    We haven't actually gotten our uniforms yet, but I've seen a pic. White scrub top with the school logo, green scrub pants, lab coat. I was pleasantly surprised though, I was worried they would do...

  10. Did your nursing program require letters of recommendation?

    ranidays replied to Ted D's topic in General Students

    My BSN program required two reference letters, which was basically a sheet with a checklist on it, rating the student 1 to 5 (1 being bad, 5 being superb) on our qualities, such as compassion,...

  12. For all of you that have gotten accepted already

    ranidays replied to amandabrown23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our minimum for both cumulative GPA and the GPA of the prereqs was 3.0, but the dean of the nursing school straight up told me that they really only look into your app if you have higher than a 3.6 in...

  13. Does anyone go to a school where the TEAS/Hesi isn't required?

    ranidays posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was just curious because I've been reading a LOT of threads that talk about taking these tests. I didn't even KNOW what they were until I googled them! My BSN program just required a minimum 3.0...

    ranidays replied to Hoping2BeStudent2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. Taking A&P I Fall 2009?

    ranidays replied to Hoping2BeStudent2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking A&P I with lab this fall, also. I am already in the program, however. Our school just says you have to take a certain amount of science prereqs before you get in, so I had Chem,...

    ranidays replied to itsa307's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
