  1. Mountain of Student Loan Debt?

    mammac5 replied to marten's topic in General Students

    It's good you're asking questions here and looking for solid information to make a good decision. I would ask where are these hospitals reimubursing for BSN costs? We used to have some tuition...

  2. Quit after first day of orientation!

    mammac5 replied to FLg8r's topic in General Nursing

    ChuckE I was also informed during the first week of class that nursing students are not known for their senses of humor. Well. The instructor who said that was NOT

  3. texting at work

    mammac5 replied to questionsforall's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    When my kids were young they were very aware that if they called me at work I would ask them, 1) is it oozing like capillary blood or is there actual spurting more like arterial? and 2) are there...

  4. Quit after first day of orientation!

    mammac5 replied to FLg8r's topic in General Nursing

    Y'all may or may not agree with ChuckE's post, but can we all just agree that it was funny as heck? We have to remember to take nursing (and our responsibilities there) very seriously...but we don't...

  5. texting at work

    mammac5 replied to questionsforall's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think that, overall in our culture, there has been a shift concerning what is okay to do while at work. In the past I think employees had a very clear sense that one's time belonged to the employer...

  6. texting at work

    mammac5 replied to questionsforall's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm in nursing school. The texting annoys me only slightly less than the students using their laptops to "take notes" who area actually using them to shop or update their facebook pages during class....

  7. Quit after first day of orientation!

    mammac5 replied to FLg8r's topic in General Nursing

    I have to add a nod to how physically demanding nursing is. I am entering nursing as a "mature" adult but I am working hard to be as prepared as possible. I've been exercising for a few years and...

  8. First Semester Fundamentals Student -- Impossible to make an A?

    mammac5 replied to Anastasiak's topic in General Students

    I think this thread is interesting because I have NO IDEA what the grades of my fellow students are. Although we have one instructor (out of seveal) who posts stats after tests telling the average...

  9. Do Grades Matter? What Kind of Grades Did You Get?

    mammac5 replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Students

    Is an 80 acceptable at your school? I ask because it seems that different schools have different grading methods and standards. Look, if an 80 average is acceptable at your school and if you can...

  10. Ineffective tissue perfusion careplan

    mammac5 replied to llwallace's topic in General Students

    Do you have a care plan book to refer to? LIFESAVER! Try these: Ineffective Tissue Perfusion: Peripheral related to interruped venous flow secondary to prolonged immobility Then think about what...

  11. 1st year nursing student

    mammac5 replied to nursingstudentnikkic's topic in General Students

    Trust me when I say that any of us (new nursing students) who is not freaked out is either lying OR clueless. Some of the people in the program I'm in act all tough and like they have it all together...

  12. Unreasonable family members in the nursing home?

    mammac5 replied to TreehuggerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Although there will always be those who are completely unreasonable -- no matter what area of life we're looking at -- I think it's important to try to see the situation from the perspective of the...

  13. Vandy NMW/FNP applicant question

    mammac5 replied to MaineMan88's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am not an RN (yet) so I'm in the on-campus Pre-Specialty year right now. My courses this year are all "live" and then clinicals are held at area hospitals. The 2nd year of the program can be done...

  14. Vandy NMW/FNP applicant question

    mammac5 replied to MaineMan88's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey, Nate! Although I'm not in the program you're shooting for, I am a Vandy nursing student. Personally, I applied in January and was accepted in March. I have heard some others mention they were...
