    jeepgirl replied to chico's topic in General Nursing

    my school weighed pre-reqs more heavily. they had a points system. you got points for the grades you had in the pre reqs, the number of them you already had completed, you ACT scores, etc... most...

  2. Female Nursing Students Dont like me !

    jeepgirl replied to earthlovers123's topic in General Nursing

    I think you're wrong. I think men are just as good at being nurses as women. Actually, the best nurses I have ever worked with are men. They have a knack for being professional even the hardest of...

    jeepgirl replied to Ruby Vee's topic in MICU, SICU

  4. Taking time off after nursing school

  6. Taking time off after nursing school

    jeepgirl replied to Heath82371's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should go ahead, go to school, and get a job after graduation. Many places will train you for 3-4 months after graduation, full time and then place you on "over hire." In other words,...

    jeepgirl replied to Heartfelt4Newborns's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Has anyone suggested getting a mirror yet? I totally misunderstood my anatomy whenever I first started getting my visits from aunt flo... it is not even funny. The slimfits are great. Try those at...

  8. How to become an OB nurse.

    jeepgirl replied to Kasie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    ADN nurses are just as qualified to become OB nurses. However, in some areas of the country there is no shortage of OB nurses... so it gets a bit competitive. A BSN might give you a competitive edge....

  9. Swaddling...arms out or in???

    jeepgirl replied to USA987's topic in Ob/Gyn

    From what I have seen, this is true. It is so much harder to get an inexperienced baby to latch on if it is so hungry it has started to cry. We always teach our mom's the signs of hunger right away....

    jeepgirl replied to jenjen22's topic in Nursing Career

    jeepgirl replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Pat, The three year old comment was made by a poster on a thread I was discussing and getting so hot over. I see now that I was jumping between two threads on this forum that reference and spoke about...

  15. NP's and docs

    jeepgirl replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    They like PA's. Because, in their statements, they say that they know how to be "subservient." They have mastered the same priniciples as a three year old. be subservient, and get what you want. NP's,...

  17. Relative goes to Hospital Admin and states that you stole narcotics!

    jeepgirl replied to Tessaprn's topic in General Nursing

    You'd better file and charge him. That is SO wrong. No judge will look badly at you, the victim, for protecting your rights. It will look worse not to press charges... I mean, what are you doing by...

    jeepgirl replied to chilloutrelax's topic in Ob/Gyn

  23. afraid I hurt Pt w/injection

    jeepgirl replied to chilloutrelax's topic in Ob/Gyn

    did you not check off the med with an instructor / licensed nurse? if so, i think that would be a major problem. if the flash happened AFTER you started to inject, that is something you could not...
