  1. Hawaii Pacific University Nursing School

    ohgreat replied to jpeters84's topic in General Nursing

    As a current student at HPU, I would not recommend attendance here. As jpeters said, its a decent education, but the program is WAYYY too unorganized and will be the source of extreme frustration....

    ohgreat replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    I did compressions on a code a few weeks ago in clinical. When I heard there was a code coming in, I asked the nurse I was assigned to if it was ok for me to participate. It was definitely an...

    ohgreat replied to Leddle's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hi leddle, I am a nursing student in my last semester and I also got my EMT cert before getting into nursing school. Actually, the only reason I got my EMT was because I wanted to become a paramedic....

    ohgreat replied to fleurafor's topic in General Students

    Hang in there fleurafor. As some have said, nursing school is a different beast. Tests in other majors ask you to choose the one correct answer from four incorrect choices. Tests in nursing school,...

  9. Daytonite has passed away...

    ohgreat replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    This is very disheartening. She has had such an impact on my learning as a nursing student. Many times more helpful than my actual professors. I wish I could have thanked her for her support and...

  12. experience nurses please help me!!

    ohgreat replied to thongvo89's topic in General Nursing

    My nursing class is ~20% male and I have seen male CNAs before, what does gender have to do with it? Also, Google is a great tool in finding phone numbers for local hospitals. Maybe the HR department...

  13. Is it ever appropriate to tell someone...

    ohgreat replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    The example of your experiences with people in ministry is a whole other discussion which I actually have some strong biases towards (I founded a successful ministry for the homeless with my church a...

  14. scared of nursing

    ohgreat replied to girlgirl4's topic in General Students

    I think that's awesome! And though I may be a naive nursing student myself, I believe that every successful career started with an interest. I may not know you very well, but I think that if you could...

  15. experience nurses please help me!!

    ohgreat replied to thongvo89's topic in General Nursing

    The only way to truly know if you will enjoy nursing is if you try it out. I have read four of your previous posts regarding your concerns going into nursing and while I think it is good that you are...

  16. scared of nursing

    ohgreat replied to girlgirl4's topic in General Students

    ohgreat replied to GingerSue's topic in General Students

    In my experience at clinical, contact precautions were taken with patients who were under special orders (there was an indicator/sign placed on the door and on the chart of the patient). This often...

  18. Study groups

    ohgreat replied to ORRocksRN's topic in General Students

    Of course it's possible. And if you make it a little while longer, you will be living evidence! If you want to join a study group, I'd say go for it. Ask the study groups you know of if they would let...

  19. Is it ever appropriate to tell someone...

    ohgreat replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    I was thinking more along the lines of in-hospital jobs. (i.e. OR, ED, PACU, etc.) There's more to nursing than the idea of being at the bedside of your patients for an extended period of time. And...

  20. Is it ever appropriate to tell someone...

    ohgreat replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    You don't necessarily need to like people as much as anyone else to enter the field of nursing. There are areas of work with limited one-on-one communication or patient interaction. Also, I've...

  24. Told I won't get in to nursing school

    ohgreat replied to dfj22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Apply to other schools as well as the program at your school! Even with that GPA you can get into nursing school somewhere. Just do some digging. If you don't want to be an RN bad enough to apply to...

  25. Waitlisted for Anatomy...

    ohgreat replied to esunada's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would definitely e-mail each professor AND show up to class on the first day and see if you can snag someone's seat who didn't show up. At my previous school, this is how a person in your situation...
