    ShelbyP replied to birdie22's topic in General Nursing

    Go, but be smart about going. Be open to the possibility of coming back (early) for a great job. I believe you are still eligible for a ticket through STA travel, a student travel company. I have...

  2. OB Project Help!

    ShelbyP replied to shellie12's topic in General Nursing

    In my nutrition class (a pre-req for the nursing program), I read some statistics about weight and obesity in America. Apparently, a number of childbearing-aged women are overweight and there are some...

  3. Wedding Band Tattoo

    ShelbyP replied to Ddestiny's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure if anyone has a problem, you could always throw on a plain solid band over it...even if it just costs a couple bucks and you only wear it for work, clinicals, what have you. In my program...

    ShelbyP replied to OnaTrek's topic in General Nursing

    I took developmental psych (through the lifespan) entirely on-line last summer through Foothill College (Los Altos, CA). I thought it was pretty easy and took a lot less time than if I had taken the...

    ShelbyP replied to rnto?'s topic in General Nursing

  7. Bachelor's RN or Masters?

    ShelbyP replied to NursieN's topic in General Nursing

    From the research I've done, you will need time in the field before being accepted to an associate's to master's bridge program. On the other hand, you will be able to get your bachelor's right away...

  9. Canadian New Grad Looking for work in San Jose CA-HELP

    ShelbyP replied to monlee's topic in General Nursing

  10. Will "doula" on a resume hurt me?

    ShelbyP replied to bluemorningglory's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The job of a nurse, in my opinion, is to advocate for her patient. The more educated you are, the more you've seen, the more you know of both the medical and non-medical approach, the better you will...

  11. SF State or Dominican University of California for nursing?

    ShelbyP replied to CollegeGirl22's topic in California Nursing

    You can look up past statistics about NCLEX pass-rates at both schools. If you are a hard-worker and study for the NCLEX, I'm sure you'll pass after an education at either university. I would base...

    ShelbyP replied to guiltysins's topic in Ob/Gyn
