    Alikatz replied to Pneumothorax's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  2. Backing out of RN school

    Alikatz replied to rgodfrey's topic in General Students

    It's too bad that you had such a terrible experience at your school. As others have said, not all schools are like that. I am glad that the school I attended was absolutely wonderful, tough, had...

    Alikatz replied to mitral's topic in General Students

    "Then again, when I was in school, a chronically ill kid didn't go to public school or get medical treatments while there" Yup. Same here. However, while the nurse you shadowed told you that while...

  5. Last semester but.. I Hate Nursing!

    Alikatz replied to mitral's topic in General Students

    Don't think that is the case at all, at least my post wasn't geared towards that lol. There are so many different aspects of nursing and so many different types I think it's all wonderful! I think...

  6. Last semester but.. I Hate Nursing!

    Alikatz replied to mitral's topic in General Students

    "Sure, a school nurse will face emergencies that require first aid (basic EMT skills), but you cannot argue that the daily activities of a school nurse are as volitile as those of inpatient nurses."...

  9. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    Alikatz replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Please STOP talking while the instructor is talking, it's incredibly RUDE! I moved to the front so that it was easier to hear the instructor and engage in related information/conversation while she is...

  10. Senioritis

    Alikatz replied to commonsense's topic in General Students

    Nope, you're not alone. I have 3 more weeks left of classes and 4 more clinicals! I have also been waiting a day or two before exams to study because of 'senioritis'. There's just no energy left....

  11. Counting Respirations

    Alikatz replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Students

  13. What field of nursing do you want to go in and why?

    Alikatz replied to aghols12's topic in General Students

    I have to say after being fully involved with 40 births in my Labor and Delivery student internship, that is my main passion hands down. I feel like I truly fit there and it makes me so happy. I...

  14. Lobe Piercings

    Alikatz replied to Sarah96's topic in General Students

  16. too soon to list job on resume?

    Alikatz replied to fromtheseaRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well, you are working right now, so I think putting your current job first would make the most sense. Put the clinical experience in it's own category (like you said you did) underneath it.

    "1. Are you attending your pinning ceremony? 2. What are you required to wear? 3. Does your school have graduation in addition to pinning? 4. Did you buy your school's pin? If so, how much did it...

    Alikatz replied to heatherxnicole's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was able to do my ACLS, so have BLS and ACLS on my resume. My school offered it though. I will do any other certifications required for a position through that department.

  19. Certifications

    Alikatz replied to heatherxnicole's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I totally agree! The department you end up working in will set you up with getting their required certifications. Don't worry about getting them before applying.

  20. Has anyone attended Suny Delhi's online RN-BSN program?

    Alikatz replied to libra.rn's topic in Online Distance Learning

  24. Embarrassed for Having Good Grades?

    Alikatz replied to •M♥J•'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a similar problem as you too! I tend to be an A student and whenever we got our tests back all my friends would snark over "oh she's extremely smart" "or ew how'd you get that grade" or "man I...
