  1. How Many Letters Of Recommendation Do You Have?

    delilas replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Nursing

    I have a letter of recommendation from one of our lead instructors, one from a boss in the world of "before nursing" that has been handy once, and everything else is

  2. Do I need to add these things to my online application?

    delilas replied to lalalalexi's topic in General Nursing

    If the job you want is particularly something you want, I think it would be worth the effort to get those things. Once you have them scanned and on your computer, you can attach them to each resume,...

  3. Advice about working in the Emergency Room

    delilas replied to cacnkrm's topic in Emergency

    It is fun, and you will inevitably learn a lot. If you're looking just to be involved and around new and exciting situations, it doesn't matter if you're cleaning poo or doing cath removal - you'll...

  4. RN to BSN or BSN

    delilas replied to ricefortheelephant's topic in General Nursing

    I'm doing LPN to RN, and then RN to BSN. My rationale? The majority of the RN to BSN is theory classes, and at all the local schools here, can be taken online. So I can take a job in nursing while...

  5. HELP- MY PHOTO on a Poster - YIKES!!!

    delilas replied to Mbshil's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats!! I agree with all of the above - make sure its not a light color that will wash you out in "hospital" lighting. I did hobby photography for a few years, and always liked dark, rich colors...

  6. HESI exam A2 admissions test !

    delilas replied to Ava82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The best resource is the HESI book itself. Yes, its 30 some odd dollars. But it does a much better job of outlining the questions, rationales, and types of things to know than ANY online "resource" I...

  7. Should nurses with long hair be required to wear it up?

    delilas replied to dura_mater's topic in General Nursing

    My school still requires this and inspects us daily, and I honestly can't imagine ever changing this - I like it this way. I saw a teacher's long ponytail fall off her back and into the stool of the...

  8. Ohio BON

    delilas replied to skitzie's topic in General Nursing

    sure - just email me at

  9. What Advice Would you give your Self as Nurse when you Were a Student?

    delilas replied to bebexoxo's topic in General Nursing

    To jump in and experience everything I could. I am trying so hard to do this now going through RN school, but in LPN, I was so worried about hurting someone or not doing something right, I never...

  10. when will I lean this ob stuff

    delilas replied to reddellrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You can't just 'get it' without someone helping you out. I'm going for OB when I finish my RN, and even though I got a great hands-on clinical, I can't yet immediately tell you how dilated a patient...

  11. Ohio BON

    delilas replied to skitzie's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on what for. An investigation for license fraud, for example, is going to be far different than an investigation into impaired nursing. I think this sums up the majority of their...

  12. How much free water/fluid do you count 1/2 cup applesauce as?

    delilas replied to yogastudentRN's topic in General Nursing

    In my schooling, we've always counted things like applesauce and jello as full liquids, so my answer would be 4 ounces as

  13. from ltc to ob

    delilas replied to madfowl's topic in Ob/Gyn

    From what I saw (keep in mind, just a small hospital in ohio) the ob techs were usually present for deliveries and made sure all the instruments were ready - they set up the field, they were the ones...

  14. Identifying yourself as an RN when flying commercial

    delilas replied to RelloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not an RN, but in the past as EMT and LPN, I've stopped at three car accidents and assisted on an airplane once. I have no problem with people knowing I'm a nurse; on long plane rides, I'd welcome...

  15. LVN that wants to Intern to get Experience

    delilas replied to dapter's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Ohio, so I can't really speak for Cali, but I know when I was looking at internships around here, there were none for CNAs or LPNs - every single one was geared towards RNs with a BSN. I...

  16. should I quit my job for school

    delilas replied to crystalchen's topic in General Nursing

    Granted, like I said above, I'm not going for NP and have not been in your position. But at least you have SOME experience as an RN - there are NPs who go straight through and don't do any work...

  17. How does a new grad LPN get "experience"?

    delilas replied to animal1993's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I think your willingness to work even the bad shifts to get your foot in the door will set you apart. Apply to the jobs anyway, especially if they "prefer" experience or want less than two years. Also...

  18. Rets or Hondros for RN or is there another?? HESI LPN test

    delilas replied to valariemccoy's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm not sure what you mean by Rets, but I know some people refer to Bohecker that way, and I really strongly advise anyone to stay away from Bohecker (They just changed their name this week too, not...

  19. 4 or 5 years for basic RN?????

    delilas replied to Chanelle's topic in Ohio Nursing

    If you're in Marion look at Tri Rivers, but honestly, your best bet may be to drive down to Westerville. DONT go to Bohecker. They lost their accreditation for a short time last year and also recently...

  20. should I quit my job for school

    delilas replied to crystalchen's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with tobes - if you can financially afford it, then definitely. Don't burn out in a job you don't enjoy with difficult classes. I'm not going any further than my BSN (for now, anyway), but I...

  21. Failed from clinical

    delilas replied to pnlm_a's topic in General Nursing

    Most schools have a grievance procedure - check your handbook for the chain to follow, and get on it quickly. Most require something like: speak with the individual involved (teacher), then go to...

  22. Student applying to positions that state "experience preferred"

    delilas replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Nursing

    It never hurts to try! CNA's in my area have a fairly decent turnover, and there is a lot of new people graduating, so I can't imagine all places - especially long term care - require experience. It's...

  23. Advice on What to do for Fall 2010

    delilas replied to starmickey03's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above. Here, the RN to BSN bridge program is only 14 months, and and ADN is 18 months, so combined, I can see how it could be 3 years. Use schools with accelerated schedules - my...

  24. elsevier dot com

    delilas replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    I use this with all of my nursing school books; it has a review for each chapter in most books, as well as vocabulary review. But not all books on there are free; some require you to purchase the...

  25. Help...I CAN'T fail nursing school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    delilas replied to Ecpi Raleigh 07/09's topic in General Nursing

    So 9 people out of 20 didn't put in the time and effort. I was a student advocate until recently at my school, and I can't tell you how many times students came to me about "unfair teachers" and how...
