  1. 8 month old baby dies because iv line could not be accessed

    Justanotherday replied to ibnkoomson's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in a pediatric ER during clinicals, the hospital used Hylenex when they could not access a vein for fluid replacement so I was able to see a baby with this in her back. The children's...

  2. Wife, mother of 5 and want to go to nursing school. How hard is it

    Justanotherday replied to Mrs.YayaLozada's topic in General Students

    I also have five children, and my advice would be not to be in a hurry and enjoy them. For me, I have had to take prereqs for the past two years just to apply to my nursing program. If you do also,...

  3. Spanish for Nurses

    Justanotherday replied to nursejacquelina's topic in General Nursing

    I have been trying to teach myself Spanish, too. I use Visual Link Spanish. It is a computer program with three levels. Level I gets you speaking everyday sentences in about 10 minutes and makes...

  4. How long until I can get my GPA up?

    Justanotherday replied to Ethsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am assuming all these classes are just to get into nursing school? My community college has about 12 prereqs specifically to enter their nursing program, and they *only* count those classes in your...

  5. Spanish class or Rosetta?

    Justanotherday replied to OBplease's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just wanted to recommend Visual Link Spanish. It is a computer program, and they offer three levels. The first one really gets you speaking in simple, everyday sentences, which is helpful to...

  6. Moms to small children that are in nursing school?

    Justanotherday replied to Devie06's topic in General Students

    Well, I am going to give the opposite advice from all the "supermoms" on here (I don't mean that in a bad way, you know, just the ones who seem to "do it all". I get it that some moms *have* to do it...

  7. Hardest Prerequisite

    Justanotherday replied to tiffjh2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Pottery. Yep. I thought for sure it was going to keep me out of nursing school, I was so bad at it I thought I was going to have to repeat

  8. 54 year old sahm, am I nuts to think I want this?

    Justanotherday replied to cathyn518's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have run into several 50-ish prenursing students at my school. I say it's now or never, why not do

  9. fun: what does this photo say to you?

    Justanotherday replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I hate it when I have Krazy Glue on my fingers and I go to scratch my

  10. Becoming a nurse at 40?

    Justanotherday replied to corinda's topic in General Students

    I will be 46 when I become an RN. I have older children, and my youngest are 6 and 9 which we homeschool. They are a big part of why I chose nursing. Right now I work retail because there aren't...

  11. Worried about fall schedule....

    Justanotherday replied to MyGranniePanties's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does your school not offer summer classes? I am about to finish a five week class and start another at mine. Seems like you could knock out the Algebra, Nutrition, or Sociology this summer to...

  12. Frederick Community College?

    Justanotherday replied to jenniepaige's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I haven't checked in here in a while! But my spring semester went well and I just started a five week summer class. I met a nursing student from FCC last summer who said she went into the program...

  13. Books...Yowza

    Justanotherday replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Did you look on Amazon, too? Have you looked in to renting textooks? Bookrenter.com is one

  14. My bright idea....

    Justanotherday replied to janedoe29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wonder if the director of a crisis pregnancy center in your area might have some

  15. Language or Experience?

    Justanotherday replied to thmpr's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I was thinking too. Eventually the new hire will be an experienced nurse and bilingual, which is an asset to the hospital. The patients and their families will appreciate her,

  16. Frederick Community College?

    Justanotherday replied to jenniepaige's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I am done with my classes as of this past Tuesday and am already enjoying my down time. Funny, Dr. Mason will often insert comments like, "I wish they wouldn't do it this way, but..." so I guess...

  17. PLEASE HELP I need Brutal Honesty!!!!

    Justanotherday replied to Wyllowdaemon's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking something in home health might be a good fit, too. I see a lot of Craigslist ads in my area looking for people who are

  18. Summer Prerequisites?

    Justanotherday replied to Nurse.Wannabe's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Pretty much everything is offered at Frederick Community College over the summer, as either a 5 week class or an 8 week. The 5 week ones are great, you can do two back-to-back along with an 8 week...

  19. How are you going to spend your Thanksgiving break?

    Justanotherday replied to BelleNscrubs04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not much of a break here. Working on my last research paper for my English class, conference with my teacher tomorrow to critique the paper, then I will need to revise it. Then work on my take home...

  20. Critique my plan!

    Justanotherday replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Biology this past spring, and am now in A & P this fall. I was worried about the summer gap, but honestly it all came right back to me. The first three chapters we did in A & P were...

  21. A&P HELP!!

    Justanotherday replied to jellybean321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking A & P I and English 101 this semester and it is very doable. From the other prenursing students I have talked to at my school, Sociology was pretty easy (I am going to take it as a...

  22. Critique my plan!

    Justanotherday replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It may be better to do your Intro to Soc. and Psychology in the summer term because they are easier, and the A&P II in the longer fall semester. My school offers them as five week summer classes,...

  23. Emerg Volunteer

    Justanotherday replied to flyingchange's topic in Emergency

    I volunteer in our emergency room, and we are not allowed to ask patients why they are there. I do make phone calls for them (if they ask) to let a friend or family member know they are there, get...

  24. I need free money for school any ideas?

    Justanotherday replied to jolie bebe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My classes and books are covered completely by a Pell grant. Have you completed a FAFSA? Your school's website should be able to direct

  25. Critique my plan!

    Justanotherday replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Had you already had some college, so those are the only classes you need to take to get into your program? My school also requires English 101 & 102, Art, Human Growth & Development, math, a...
