    wannabecnl posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm in my second semester of nursing school and have already noted the differences in how I respond to various clinical areas (beyond just my assigned tasks). Specifically, I found that being in the...

  2. Best Thing About The OR?

    wannabecnl replied to redraider1977's topic in Operating Room

    I'm with you; I'm in school now and getting geared up to apply for an immersion site that will be my clinical "home" for all of next year (and, if history means anything, where I'm likely to get a job...

  3. Nursing Assistant drawing up and giving injections?

    wannabecnl replied to OBNurseWannabe's topic in General Nursing

    This was also the case in our previous pediatrician's office (which is in NH). The medical assistant gave all the vaccinations; I do not know who drew them up, though. She was really, really good at...

  4. Nurse Practitioner or Physician's Assistant?

    wannabecnl replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    Very, very true, Equus. Not every physician is a good diagnostician. We had a primary care physician whom we eventually left because he failed to diagnose three conditions, none of which were...

  7. UNH DEMN schedule

    wannabecnl replied to wannabecnl's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all the info! I am glad to hear about the fall schedule; I don't mind driving, but it will be nice to have it all on one day instead of two or three short days. You mentioned summer;...

  8. Do Cherokee scrubs shrink in the washer/dryer, and if so, how?

    wannabecnl posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm required to purchase Cherokee scrubs from www.meridys.com for nursing school and went to try them on at the store today. The clerk said they might shrink in the wash or dryer. Meridys has a...

    wannabecnl replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for posting a working link! I'm not sure why my link didn't work, but this is the chart I was trying to offer. I'm sure there are state-by-state regulatory differences as mentioned above,...

  11. Nurse Practitioner or Physician's Assistant?

    wannabecnl replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry about that. I have had it downloaded for a long time and didn't check the link. Does anyone know how to attach a PDF file or JPEG image from a local hard drive to a post on this site? I'm...

  13. What questions are asked at nursing school interviews?

    Be really prepared to tell them why you want to be in their program, and why they should want you there. Know what you want to do with it (I don't know what degree level it is, but it never hurts to...

  15. Anyone heard from UNH DEMN?

    wannabecnl posted a topic in General Nursing

    Was told at the interview that I "should know by Columbus Day". From Webcat, it looks like the list has made it to the grad office ("Waiting for Final Grad Review") but stalled there. Just...

  16. Anyone heard from UNH DEMN?

    wannabecnl replied to wannabecnl's topic in General Nursing

    I had told them I'd prefer the 2-year track but could do 3; it wasn't a deal-breaker, so I'm eager to see where I ended up. Yes, I plan to attend; this is the only school I applied to. How about you...

    wannabecnl replied to wannabecnl's topic in General Nursing

    wannabecnl replied to ldybugg24's topic in General Nursing

    I took A&P I and II and microbiology at Nashua Community in 2007-2008, and I was very happy with it. The professor I had for A&P is no longer teaching there, which could affect your...

  19. What would make you say "I could never do that"

    wannabecnl replied to PICNICRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is one of the best threads I've ever read. I am literally crying with laughter; you all are too funny. I'm hoping to hear from a nursing program this week, and this question has occurred to me...
