2. RN to MD, has anyone done this?

   vanderth replied to Loux's topic in General Nursing

   I work have worked in the medical field for quite a while and I am also married to a surgeon. I have to say that I personally think that you would be looked upon as an asset to a medical school if you were previously a nurse. My OB-GYN did this exac...

3. Start nursing school with a newborn at home?

   vanderth replied to nurse2B444's topic in General Nursing

   I think it would be very challenging, however I think you should begin school as soon as possible. If you wait then you may not ever go to school at all. Buck up, know it is going to be rough but it isn't for forever. Education is so important and so...

4. Strep throat antibiotics??

   vanderth replied to CraftyLPN's topic in General Nursing

   I recently had strep throat and was prescribed Keflex. The only bad thing is that it really upset my stomach even when I ate with it. Hope this helps

5. Nursing student needing Help

   vanderth replied to tamabalj's topic in General Nursing

   I have to agree with all of the posts, although I think the first two are more appropriate. It isn't mean to tell someone that they have to come up with their own essay answers. The essays are how the admission panels get to know a person, therefore ...

   Hi, I have been conducting HIV research for the last five years so I had interaction with patients, nurses and physicians on quite a few levels. I think it didn't hurt that I am 38, which gives me quite a bit of life experience and I am also married ...

   Hi there, I am not a nurse yet, start school in January. However, I find that this situation can be applied to any profession. I think you should go for it. I think it would be impossible for them to stiff you for a long period and if it were me I wo...

10. My dream is turning out to be a nightmare!

    vanderth replied to dddduncan's topic in Colorado

    I have personally spoken to Children's, Denver Health, St. Joes, St. Anthony's, Swedish etc. I too was informed that nurses from DSN WILL NOT be considered for positions due to their accred status. I am not sure why people get so defensive about this...

11. My dream is turning out to be a nightmare!

    vanderth replied to dddduncan's topic in Colorado

    I understand your friend got hired at Children's and I think that is great. The hospitals are no longer hiring from DSN, meaning recently they decided they are no longer hiring from DSN. The reason that DSN is full is because it is very difficult to ...

    That sounds perfect Nick. Thank you. As far as the paperwork, I too am worried because I don't know how long the screening takes and we are suppose to be enrolled in classes by Dec 18. At least that is what my email said. I think they just take their...

    Hi Nick, Fb page sounds great. I am in. I did contact metro about the paperwork for the background/drug checks. They assured me with the literal term "no worries" that it would be in the mail in the next couple of weeks. The no worries thing bugged m...

    vanderth replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado

    Oh wow, 6 weeks. Well that should be a good time. LOL I live at Speer and Logan behind the 9 news building. Hopefully I will get some clinicals at Denver Health given I live so close. So if you got into Regis would you drop Metro? I mean even if you ...
