  1. Typical Clinical Day/Time Management

    NurseMaybeBaby replied to hydra10134's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    We do pre-clinical before, so I have already looked up the patho and all of the meds. And any surgeries or procedures. We arrive at 6:30. From there I try and get my hands on the MAR to make sure...

  2. Physical Assessment Help!

    NurseMaybeBaby replied to scharette's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Pretty much what PP said. I start with AAO, check eyes and mouth. Then I move to heart sounds and lung sounds. Palpate radial pulses and check capillary refills. Then ROM with arms. Then bowel sounds...

  3. 2nd degree student, having financial aid issues--anyone else?

    NurseMaybeBaby posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm a second bachelor's degree student, married with two children. Because I have a degree already, I'm having a very difficult time with financial aid. I got a financial aid suspension letter in the...

  4. 2nd degree student, having financial aid issues--anyone else?

    NurseMaybeBaby replied to NurseMaybeBaby's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Update: I was denied even though everyone else in my class was approved, even those who have exceeded the 60 hour maximum. I called and spoke to the Director and she pulled the 60 hour max thing on...

    NurseMaybeBaby replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

  6. SELU Traditional Program

    NurseMaybeBaby replied to floridadarling's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Name tag from bookstore, I think it was $8. Nursing school shirt, $20 Then you need khakis, a belt and closed toe shoes. These are for the community lab and for your standardized patient in the...

  7. SELU Traditional Program

    NurseMaybeBaby replied to floridadarling's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I just finished my first semester. I'm in the accelerated program and we go in summers. It was tough, I'm not gonna lie. But 100% doable, you just HAVE to stay on top of it. From what I gather,...

  8. New job, accelerated nursing program, AHHHH!

    NurseMaybeBaby posted a topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I found out two weeks ago that I was accepted into SELU's accelerated nursing program-yayy! The same day I had an interview for an ER Tech job at Ochsner. Well, today I was offered the job and I had...

  9. BRCC Pre-nursing students READ

    NurseMaybeBaby replied to dmyles's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Ok, this post confuses me. First of all, there is NO way your sister had a 3.85 and didn't get into SLU. Either she didn't have a 3.85 or she didn't have all of the requirements that she needed. I...

  10. Starting as an ER Tech, what do you nurses want from me?

    NurseMaybeBaby replied to NurseMaybeBaby's topic in Emergency

  11. 2nd degree student, having financial aid issues--anyone else?

    NurseMaybeBaby replied to NurseMaybeBaby's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  12. low gpa - bsn or asn?

    NurseMaybeBaby replied to gogodice's topic in General Students

    I'm in an accelerated BSN program, I got in with a 3.6. They look only at the required classed to get in. My cumulative was a 2.6 (ouch). I worked my butt off to get it up to that. I am pursuing a...

  13. 2nd degree student, having financial aid issues--anyone else?

    NurseMaybeBaby replied to NurseMaybeBaby's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Oh no:crying2:, I'm sorry to hear this. I know some schools can put you on a payment plan. That wouldn't be an option for me, cause I won't have the money then either! Good luck to you, this really...

  14. 2nd degree student, having financial aid issues--anyone else?

    NurseMaybeBaby replied to NurseMaybeBaby's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks, I hope you are right! I'm going to be over the 60 hour limit. I really don't need the stress of worrying about paying for all this up front.

    Record the lectures. Listen to them before the next lecture and take more notes. You do miss things you didn't realize. Ask questions to clarify. I did this and it helps a TON. good

  17. Community College? You must be stupid.

    NurseMaybeBaby replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    Well, I actually read this entire thread, and now my head is spinning. I have nothing against CCs, but I chose a 4 year university because of the market. I'm hoping that having a BSN may help me find...

  20. What is your WORST ER story?

    NurseMaybeBaby posted a topic in Emergency

    I'm currently a nursing student, who just started a job as an ER Tech this week. I have NO previous medical experience in the medical field at all. My first day, I got there around 7 am. It was...

  22. SELU spring 2012

    NurseMaybeBaby replied to RN2B12's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I'm really not sure, because I thought you went with the catalog requirement for the year you entered the university. Meaning the students just starting this semester would be the first ones having to...

  23. What is your WORST ER story?

    NurseMaybeBaby replied to NurseMaybeBaby's topic in Emergency

    Thank you everyone. It's been a few weeks and I have seen a few more deaths. It's not really getting "easier", but I'm learning how to handle it. I absolutely LOVE my job and I have no doubt that I've...

    NurseMaybeBaby replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    I see your dilemma, but I would absolutely do something. That poor child could end up severely ill or even dead someday. You are going to lose a lot more sleep over that situation than you will this...
