3. Teching while in Nursing School?

   UDM2010 replied to mandileanne's topic in General Nursing

   Working as a tech is great experience but I do agree with not letting work interfere with your school work. In the program I graduated from during the summers we had to do co-op pt & ft. During the school year I worked contingent (1 sat, 1 sun &a...

5. How easy is it to get the job of choice right after graduating nursing school?

   UDM2010 replied to smithjen's topic in New Nurse

   I guess I am very fortunate, my love is OB and ER and I was offered both. I went with OB because it is harder to get into. I guess what helped is that I worked in the ER as a student nurse and I went and got my ACLS before I even got my license. With...

8. Where is your heart at?

   UDM2010 replied to Mom23kiddos's topic in New Nurse

9. precepting GN's

   UDM2010 replied to newwavegirl89's topic in General Nursing

   When hired as a GN you still cannot push meds until you are licensed so what harm could it cause? It is the same as being a tech, but you are being trained into the RN role for when you pass your boards.

11. BSN Required...what does this mean for the 2yr ADN programs ?

    UDM2010 replied to DaddyO's topic in ADN/BSN

    i totally agree with you, we had lot's of clinical practice and was also required to do summer coops in an approved facility in order to graduate. bsn requires more theory which truly helps the nurse to understand the "why" behind your actions. plus ...
