  1. Choosing a speciality for my senior practicum

    I am worried about this too. I've work on the same floor that I did my med-surg 1 clinical on and by shear luck, I'm on the same floor for med-surg 2. I definitely don't want to precept here. I...
  2. Tattoo Piercings cover up help?

    One of my classmates has a nose ring and she did the clear stud gizmo for our first semester. She eventually let it close up because she figured she wouldn't ever be able to wear it in the clinical...
  3. How do I get to a certain specialty in the hospital?

    Does the hospital have a periop program? Our hospital here offers a 6 month program that guarantees you a job if you pass. The catch is that the student signs a 2 year contract agreeing to work in...
  4. Interesting question. I don't have an answer for you but you might want to try asking in the "specialty" area to see if any experienced dialysis nurses can help you.
  5. Pre nursing vs nursing which one is more difficult?

    Yep, I could have but the very first thread listed in this forum is about care plans. I also put a child through high school and college but encouraging him to look stuff up on his own and by not...
  6. FINALLY

    WooooHOOOO!!! Very exciting and congratulations! Ya know, I'd be ok taking the NCLEX that close after graduating I think. I mean, the info is fresh, you are motivated and you can take it again....
  7. Pre nursing vs nursing which one is more difficult?

    Again, SEARCH is your friend on this site. Google is a good place to look
  8. Hardest Part of NS?

    Search is your friend here. We have been talking about this very topic a lot lately. There is even a pretty recent thread - maybe just a day or two
  9. Pre nursing vs nursing which one is more difficult?

    Have you heard the phrase, "Nurses eat their young"? The same applies to nursing teachers. To me, patho and pharm have been my two hardest classes by far. I did well in those classes but I worked...
  10. First day of work...BAD trainer...question.....

    I say let it be. The CN already knows about this tech I'm guessing and now you can make sure you don't do as she does. I'm a tech right now too on a floor that has a reputation of having some lazy...
  11. Clinicals on the unit you work on?

    Did you miss the part that I wrote that my clinical teacher got me this job and our clinical teachers placed us for the next semester? Did you also miss the part that I mentioned that no one has ever...
  12. Clinicals on the unit you work on?

    My middle name is Worry so I can't help but worry about this little situation. I took a job last semester on a family practice unit in the hospital that is within walking distance (almost) from my...
  13. Second nightshift completed

    What do you consider a "night shift"? Are you talking about 3-11 or 7p-7a? You do seem like you are not giving yourself enough time to adjust. Two shifts and you are already complaining? You...
  14. how many uniforms to buy?

    I have two sets but I bought one from a graduating senior so I saved a little. I didn't need two sets my first or second semester but I'll have clinicals 2x per week and will need the extra set so...
  15. Talk me down from the ledge (2nd edition)

    I can TOTALLY relate! I'm a tech right now and about to start my senior year of NS. When I have patients page me 4x in a 2 minute period to turn their lights off that he/she can control from the bed...
  16. does this sound right?

    I'm sure the school's website could better answer that question than we can. Every school is
  17. Any tips for running a great study group?

    Every group dynamic is different but what works for MY group is that we all take a chapter or concept or whatever and we teach that to each other. We HAVE to study independently before we meet so we...
  18. Med Surg and Patho

    I did very well in med-surg but I worked my rear end off! I study best with a group but I have to do my own reading and practice questions before we get together to study. I have to be held...
  19. nursing research class

    Think "Evidence-Based Practice." I think the teacher is looking for some practice or nursing intervention that is supported by some research. As in, they used to do it one way but now they do it...
  20. I need some major advice!

    First of all, Welcome! You are asking the same questions many of us have had in the past. I would suggest that you pour through these boards, especially this forum, and dig into the posts about LPN...
  21. ATTN People looking for info on specific programs

    worthy of a little bumpity
  22. Which one to take 1st?

    I'd say biology first. Biology is a pre-req for all the schools around here anyway. I think biology is just a good, basic, starter science class.
  23. What's wrong

    I would get with your teachers to analyze what types of questions you are missing and why. Are you reading the questions wrong? Are you interacting with your test questions? By that I mean are you...
  24. A Typical Week at Nursing School?

    Do a search on this same topic. It has been discussed quite a
  25. Tornado Evacutation

    I know exactly what you mean. I live less than 2 miles from the hospital and am definitely on that "list" of people to call that can make it in easily. And yes, tornadoes are scary! They can...
