That is a tough decision. I don't know what the right decision is for you but I was wondering if there are other options. Are there any LPN to RN programs near you or even an ADN program that perhaps you could start this year? I went the ADN route...

If she waits three months to get pregnant and is pregnant for 9 months...

It sounds like she either did not listen to what you asked her or misunderstood what you asked her.

Thanks everyone! I figured it was ok, and feel much better now. The Heparin is in pre-filled syringes and I just need to waste a portion to get the correct dose..

My grandmother was allowed to leave the hospital only if someone could give her heparin injections daily for a week. She asked me if I could do it and I said yes. A home health nurse had to watch me do it the first time and sign off on it. I feel ...

I have a few questions about resumes that I hope someone can help me with. The first one I feel silly asking but when do I refer to myself as "Jojo RN"? Do I put the "RN" on the header of my resume and also when I sign my name on the cover letter?...

I would have loved to work PRN in the healthcare field when I school, unfortunately nobody was hiring....

No problem! Of course you can PM me :) I attached the book as well as another resume packet and an interview one. EDIT, I guess the upload failed for the book, the file is too big I think...hmmm interview_guide.pdf resume_guide.pdf

A couple small things: You should list experience in reverse chronological order, so the most recent clinical you had should go first if you are going to list them individually. Also, you might try listing your clinical locations followed by a skill...

So, the GN residency program I am supposed to start wants to know what area I am interested in working in...the options that may be available are cardiac, neuro, medsurg, psych, and ortho. I have to send them my request via email. I'm having troub...

][]quote=llg;4408650]My problem with your latest version is that it sounds "contrived and artificial." There is no personalilty in it. It's a generic statement that sounds like it was written by an advertising agency, not a personal one. In the e...

]I am thinking it might be better to leave out cardiac all together now. I rotate onto all units and don't have to make an "official" choice until after 12 weeks, so why make a statement and possibly put my foot in my mouth later? They asked "wha...

Very good points that I had not considered! Thank you. Back to the drawing board!

That is seriously exactly what I was thinking but could not put into words! Thank you so much!

]My sister-in-law had to interview a nurse for a school project and (chose me). She had to develop 6 thought provoking questions on her own and one of the questions was - what does patient care mean to you? - For me patient care involves ]all aspect...

Looking for reviews and they seem to be scarce. Preferably looking for people who did the RN BSN route but ANYONE attending currently or that recently attended the school is welcome to reply :loveya: I am getting nervous that I can't find any info on...

Traffic is horrible. Sorry. Trips that might take 15 minutes during the night take more than an hour in the morning, early/mid afternoon, after 3 until it's dark. I would follow the local traffic advisory online for a couple of days to get a feel ...

I agree but I must say I have been able to pick out people I know based on their posts. If you find a post by a person in say PA, and you are from PA, you can go to their page and track all posts started by this person and piece together over many p...

RN's not LPN's? Wow that is a big difference. In MA the starting pay for a new grad at our local hospital is $30 for days.

The material you are speaking of is not what is important. It is using your ABC's/maslow, all the skills you learned in nursing school on how to determine priority, that is how you answer the question you do not know the answer too...JUST like on th...

Unfortunately, that is a college instituted decision. My college has HESI but you are not required to pass to graduate. Nice idea but it would probably be better time spent to petition your individual school and/or obtain evidence based data to ba...

If you already have a BS degree have you considered a direct entry BSN program? There are several and given you have a BS already, you would finish in two years or less with a BSN versus an ADN.

Is there an option for a post masters in phych? That might be more useful..All of the listing near me ask for a MSN. The few extra classes and extra money might not be necessary for the educato certr.

I think having someone read it is a good idea. If it is someone you don't know, even better. Then there will be strict honesty and no hurt feelings.

I started school with the Classic 2 sided Littman. I upgraded to the master cardiology this year and love it although I don't know if it really is any better for what I need it for. (it was a plus that it was on sale for $150 too) There is an attac...
