    Rednights replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    I saw one CABG for like an hour, I got at the right time and they let me stand above the patient as they began attach the graft to fix the LAD. But yes, OR nurse is very very different ... I came out...

  6. Can a shy person become a good nurse?

    Rednights replied to DaynaDawn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The problem with most of examples here is that people claim to be shy and then immediately say how confident or how they are in their element when they get to work. Or people say you'll be more...

  7. stationary or mobile, advice

    Rednights replied to Andrew12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Buy a ---- good --- battery life laptop. Mine last a measly 3 hours, it drives me insane in class because there's not a plug in site. As said before, desktops (good ones) are for

  8. Quite Asian guy thinking of a degree in nursing

    Rednights replied to chith's topic in Men in Nursing

    Quiet nature? You'll be talking constantly as a nurse to physicians, other nurses, your patients and their family members ... you are a hub of information. You can't just sit there and stare at them...

  9. How do you know what level (1,2,3) you are for ATI tests?

    Rednights replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Students

    E-V-E-R-Y question CAN BE TRACED BACK to the book WORD FOR WORD. These are what the focus reviews do. ATI questions DO NOT go out what is written their books. You think a question came out of nowhere?...

  10. I just got a 60 on my first AP! lab practical, which was bones.... How do you study?

    Rednights replied to TrinaCNA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  12. Male Nursing Students

    Rednights replied to Ram1802h's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Let's get real here, there are nursing jobs available ... for nurses with EXPERIENCE. At this point and time, new grads =/= nurse, not matter what test you passed or what those two letters at the end...

  13. statistics!!

    Rednights replied to labrador4122's topic in General Students

    Glad NS doesn't require us to take Calculus, then I think we'd have a legit concern to complain, yes I know OP is not complaining. Statistics is by far one of the "easiest" math classes they make us...

  14. Kaplan QBank

    Rednights replied to Qka's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think so? ... like 50-100 off I guess. I don't mind, they have a high percentage rate of passing and if you do fail you get free remediation and whatnot .... hopefully to which I don't have to take...

  15. Kaplan QBank

    Rednights replied to Qka's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Eh, my entire class is required to take it. Why it's not billed in my tuition is beyond my understanding. FYI, the profs note when you start getting around 60% off the qbank questions you are ready...

  16. RN- associates or bachelors degree?

    Rednights replied to golfergirl17's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Some people here are going to say if you are going to be a staff nurse or whatever for the rest of your life, it is okay to be go for the ASN. However, assuming you are young, don't have kids or any...

    Rednights replied to s13a29's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Looks like you looking like a biker is an issue. No one cares about your weight and height, on the contrary is you look "strong" the nurses love you ... well the CNAs do

    Rednights replied to kgh3's topic in General Students

  20. How many times did you have to take A & P to get your "A" grade?

    Rednights replied to pipsi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got a B and called it a day. I was already accepted into the program as a freshman, I was never in your situation to strive for perfect GPAs like most students

  21. With all these nursing students, do you see the job market drying up?

    Rednights replied to Faro's topic in First Year After Licensure

    New grads don't dry up the market, money does. It's the single thing that controls whether hospitals can afford to take risk on new grads again as it does cost 150-300k per new grad training. So cross...

  22. What do you think about Ebooks?

    Rednights replied to SL2014's topic in General Students
