  1. Are nurses allowed to wear "doctor-like" lab coats?

    Streamline2010 replied to lalalalexi's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    In the business world, it's said that if you want to move up, dress like the next rung up. So, push the limits to dress like a "professional" instead of casual. I think nurses looked more...

  2. Which pre-nursing classes did you find the most useful?

    Streamline2010 replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    Yes, but all the hard work happens the first time you take it. Even if they change the textbook and add things to the re-take, it will not be nearly as much effort as learning that subject material...

  3. where in WV?DH and i had planned

    Streamline2010 replied to glitterygirl's topic in General Nursing

    First, please use correct capitalization and punctuation and write like an adult, if you want to be considered for nursing school. I am serious. There are many displaced adult workers with college...

  4. Is there really a nursing shortage? I am starting to think not.

    Streamline2010 replied to sc0628's topic in First Year After Licensure

    coming from an engineering background to nursing, that $60k to $100k figure blows my mind. and i keep seeing that thought presented over and over here, how new nurses still need so much training to...

  5. New Student Rant!!!

    Streamline2010 replied to mater44's topic in General Students

    That would annoy me, too, mater44. I think part of being an adult returning to school is that you see just how many stupid things they (all schools, not just nursing) do. And they frequently get...

  6. Which pre-nursing classes did you find the most useful?

    Streamline2010 replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    Anatomy and Physiology -- retake b/c the school requires it Microbiology -- I'd retake that one because MRSA and other superbugs change the picture, somewhat. I used a lot of...

  7. Clients? Are they no longer patients?

    Streamline2010 replied to bassadict69's topic in General Students

    "Client" is a better deal for the book publishers, who crank out new their editions every 4.87 months now. Before, when they were called "patients," the auto-spellcheckers would let "patience" slide...

  8. Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

    Streamline2010 replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Well, I'm a nursing student, legally, and I'm not currently in nursing school. I applied and was accepted 7 months ago to a school in an area that's not near my current home. But I am a transfer...

  9. What is so hard about A&P 1?

    Streamline2010 replied to Miwila's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For whatever reason, Latin just didn't stick in my brain well. For me, it would have been helpful to have perhaps taken a non-required basic human structures class first. For those still in high...

  10. BSN now or later?

    Streamline2010 replied to haleyb0324's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Apply to the BSN program, because there are many new grads not finding jobs. There are few finding jobs straight out of nursing. If you find a job, then you can either start the BSN or cancel out....

  11. Charting Bloopers

    Streamline2010 replied to AHarri66's topic in Nursing Humor

    I know that's an old post, but ROTFL! Ditto for Old factory hallucinations : Oh, they are the WORST! All that incessant clanking, and molten metal flows like lava, and dust, and rust,...

  12. Help me PLEASE!!

    Streamline2010 replied to gina9525's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with that. Why are you afraid of math & sci? You just go over and over it until it does sink in. Many people take one glance at the problems and panic. Math is the easiest thing in...

  13. Change in BSN requirements

    Streamline2010 replied to texan's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hey. :-) Thanks for the history lesson, DoGoodThenGo and

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

    Streamline2010 replied to DaddyO's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I didn't "generalize" that ADRN has more clinicals vs. BSN. Note that I said "I actually looked at some traditional 4-yr BSRN degrees, and they were SO heavily padded..." Not that ALL of them are....

  15. Get an A.D.N but already got A.S.?

    Streamline2010 replied to DarkBluePhoenix's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should be able to transfer them in. Maybe not if the school doesn't think it was an equivalent class, or not if your credits are from years ago and the school has an arbitrary expiration date,...

  16. Anatomy and Physiology I and II - drop out rate

    Streamline2010 replied to Elizabeth 123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P I & II at a local community college that is a popular place for diploma RN candidates to take prerequisites, and the college also offers it's own associate degree RN program. So,...

  17. Not a caregiver type, but considering nursing?

    Streamline2010 replied to wide-eyed's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think too much of the selfless servitude demanded of nurses has been shaped by the fact that historically, it's a woman's profession. And Lord knows how much gratis servitude men and society as a...

  18. question

    Streamline2010 replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also, colleges require a certain GPA to allow you to transfer in, or sometimes before you can change campuses within that same institution. Check whether 2.5 is high enough. Sometimes you have to...

  19. ADN lower than BSN????

    Streamline2010 replied to litebrightgirl's topic in LPN to RN

    I think they are only looking down on it because the job market it tight, there are hiring freezes and layoffs, and canceled expansion plans, and mandatory overtime, and still new grads from colleges...

  20. pre reqs

    Streamline2010 replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, I had a decent income until that contract job ended, so I would not have qualified for any aid. I did one to two classes per semester while working, so I just slid some other class in there and...

  21. Average cost of Second Degree BSN?

    Streamline2010 replied to RunawayN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look up the One Stops online website for your state. That's the Unemployment Office. Look for their WIA/TAA provider list that should be online, and see if the school that has the program is on the...

  22. Have any "romantic" relationships developed in your nursing program?

    Streamline2010 replied to mell260's topic in General Students

    Unless I suddenly find myself morphing from heterosexual childless urban professional single female into a lesbian Cougar who dates 19-year-old single moms with toddlers in tow, no, I don't expect to...

  23. NLN-RN Pre-entrance exam...Did I get a good study guide??

    Streamline2010 replied to affffraidofamericans's topic in General Students

    HESI and NLN PAX are really similar. I looked at TEAS exam study questions, too. I took both HESI and PAX and did very well on them. Search here on HESI and see what people recommended. I typed a...

  24. pre reqs

    Streamline2010 replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks. I tried to condense it into an easy recipe, lol. I went through all of that, evaluating time and cost for various health career options, since I am a career changer and I want to make sure...

  25. help

    Streamline2010 replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might not have to read it cover to cover. Often, but not always, the first and last sentence of a paragraph are the meat. To be a fluent and efficient reader, you have to read much. If you are...
