  1. Do you ever sit and wonder.....?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Students

    OMG!!! Same student I was talking about in the OP STILL cannot get it. I just don't get it. We have been talking about Protonix and Geodon every week since January. She still cannot pronounce it...

  2. Will I ever become a CRNA?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to oopymoss's topic in General Students

    What exactly do you think a BSN

  3. New to AL....NCLEX question...

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to NurseRachie28's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Not a foreign student. I thought about it after I posted but this student had a psych theory class but no clinical hours. This student is in my clinical class and I think she said that the...

  4. Thinking about nursing as a second degree, some advice

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to Ronn's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Not sure where in AL you are but I'm at UAH getting a BSRN. I also had a degree but lacked the chemistry, A&P, etc. I could have gone to get the ADN but I would have spent the same amount of...

  5. New to AL....NCLEX question...

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to NurseRachie28's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I'm at UAH and we have a student in your same shoes. She went to a school in a state that didn't require any psych coursework. She graduated from her school but never took the NCLEX either. She is...

  6. I feel like I don't know anything

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to sarah38's topic in General Students

    I know a lot of students feel this way. I have been very lucky with my clinical teachers so far. BUT.... I think a lot of what I get to do as a student is because I am assertive in doing things for...

  7. Professor Ratings

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to AllSmiles225's topic in General Students

    In my experience, the reviews for upper level classes are usually pretty accurate. It seems to me that the teachers of the lower level classes tend to get ripped pretty hard by immature freshman...

  8. Nursing School Must Haves??

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

    Yeah, we can't use laptops in 2 of our 3 classes this year either. We are all so pi$$ed!!! They are saying that students in the past were playing on FB, games, etc so they don't allow them....

  9. Nursing School Must Haves??

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

    I use a Mom Agenda as my planner. It is a larger planner but it does have a lot of room for all kinds of stuff. momagenda.com is the website. It has spots for 3 kids' activities plus my own space...

  10. ATTN People looking for info on specific programs

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to TheSquire's topic in General Students

    I agree. A lot of good info is getting buried by people posting school-specific questions and such here. I'm all about helping one another but I think those questions will get more replies on the...

  11. Low GPA & Second Degree BSN?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to starasia00's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    oh, I meant to add that my first round in school was about 15+ years ago. My GPA did follow me but I was able to raise it enough to be guaranteed a spot in the program. If your biology degree is 10...

  12. Low GPA & Second Degree BSN?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to starasia00's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I didn't have a stellar GPA myself. I didn't have a science degree so I had to take anatomy and phys, a micro biology class for nursing students - Infection and Immunity. My point is that you may be...

  13. when to start applying for RN job?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to RossayRN's topic in General Students

    Around here, you can apply for jobs about a month before your graduation date. If you get an interview they will ask your NCLEX date. There is usually at least a month between when you actually get...

  14. need help forming a priority nursing diagnosis

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to ron3000's topic in General Students

    Both of the above are GREAT answers. We were always told to remember the ABCs, Maslow's and to be mindful of the patho of any disease for a dx. In my opinion, knowing the patho of a disease has been...

  15. NSNA National Conference in Orlando

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to bonestAx's topic in General Students

    I am really on the fence about going. I start a job on the 5th (orientation) and my daughter is playing a soccer tournament the ending weekend of the conference. I *could* make it happen but it...

  16. What the heck is up with nursing school tests??!!

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    I'll try to answer. I'm in a BSN program and we take about 15 hours per semester plus clinicals on top of that so my total hours equal about 28 hours. In our first semester we take pathophysiology,...

  17. LPN pay rate at a DRs office? Huntsville, AL

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to Nurseandwife's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I hear ya! That is the ONE thing that attracts me to a doc's office. I'm at UAH and will graduate next May and I am not looking forward to the RN hours. It does make a doc's office very attractive...

  18. What the heck is up with nursing school tests??!!

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    We ALL have to cram from time to time and there will always be one or two tests that we just don't have adequate time to study for. I have found that the best way to take a test is to interact with...

  19. Hesi exit RN HELP

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to r&r10's topic in General Students

    Try doing a search on this topic on this board. We talked about the same subject fairly recently. My school requires a HESI exit exam before you can graduate but we also take at least one per...

  20. LPN pay rate at a DRs office? Huntsville, AL

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to Nurseandwife's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I'm guessing you might make in the $12-14 range as an LPN in a doc's office working part-time. Most offices are closed one day a week so that can cut into your hours too. I know that some doctors...

  21. fourth year clinical placements; what has the most skills?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to LR_C's topic in General Students

    I don't have first hand knowledge but some of my friends that are seniors doing their precept clinicals rave about ICU/MICU. A lot of students really pull for the ER too because you will see a little...

  22. Do I really need a BSN?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to latebloomer74's topic in General Students

    In my area, most BSNs are getting jobs much easier than the ADNs. There are several students in my BSN program that have degrees in biology too. Another thing to consider is the time for each...

  23. Exit HESI

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to blynn9173's topic in General Students

    We have to take six HESI exams by the time we graduate. We must pass the exit HESI with an 850 (or maybe 900) to graduate. Our benchmark score on all the other HESIs are 850. Our teachers base a...

  24. Do you ever sit and wonder.....?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Students

    Don't misunderstand, I am no where close to knowing everything. I just get frustrated with the people that don't pay attention and just don't "get it" and the teacher has to take time to explain the...

  25. I fainted today in the ICU!

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to aismail3's topic in General Students

    Are you talking about ME? I nearly passed out a few weeks ago attempting my first IV. I felt it coming on and excused myself to the nurses' station. It had happened once before a few weeks before...
