  1. Gender = advantage?

    Streamline2010 replied to Jack245's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I attended orientation at 4 schools. At the community colleges for ADRN, approx 22-25% of the people in the room were male. At the diploma RN, it was lower, say 5-10% but that school ran more than...

  2. Most new-grad GN/RN jobs filled by techs in St. Louis (2010)

    Streamline2010 replied to in2ICU's topic in General Students

    When you start as a new employee in homecare, do they send a "trainer" out with you for a while, or are you just on your own? And you must generally supply your own transportation, is that

  3. Have you heard of a school losing accreditation?

    Streamline2010 replied to Ted D's topic in General Students

    Thanks for all the replies. I was wondering the same. One program in a location I would have really liked to move to was in some kind of probation and improvement plan for it's accreditation, and...

  4. i was kicked out of nursing school

    Streamline2010 replied to student_nurse_11's topic in General Students

    Well. doing it and covering it up - Don't you thing that the patient could have been harmed twice, i.e. by the original mistake and then by the cover-up??"totally not fair =( " -- No, sorry....

  5. Is this the career of an RN?!

    Streamline2010 replied to DGDreamGirl's topic in General Students

    Any of my relatives who had home health or hospice nurses services, already had full-time caregivers at the house. The RN or LPN came, did only her RN or LPN job, and left. The routine care and...

  6. Most new-grad GN/RN jobs filled by techs in St. Louis (2010)

    Streamline2010 replied to in2ICU's topic in General Students

    Not only that, but it could spell end of WIA or TAA money for an adult. For example, there was on job for me (my skill set) in the town that I reside in, and a buyout-merger-RIF eliminated my job....

  8. Hesi A2 test scores for UT Health Science Center

    Streamline2010 replied to trishajlee's topic in Texas Nursing

    Exactly. That's how they (all of these preadmission tests) build bias into the tests in favor of those applicants who already have some health care experience or at least better-than-average...

  9. Help - How to approach science courses

    Streamline2010 replied to Phil313's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with that. Get the math, one or both chems out of the way. I took my nursing prereqs from 3 different schools, to cram them in on time. One school had A&P as a pre requisite for...

  10. HELP! RN-BSN or straight to BSN?

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

    Just be sure to choose your BSRN program carefully, so that it is vocationally oriented and offers adequate clinical and hands-on experience. I looked through the catalogs of several area colleges'...

  11. Is diploma RN any good, or is BSRN it?

    Streamline2010 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    All of these discussions of employers not hiring anything except BSRN really worry me. My question, and it's a big one, is will I find a nursing job straight out of school? If not, then it may not...

  12. New Grads We Have Hit A New Low...Work For FREE

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

    Just out of curiosity, what happens if you skip town before the 6 months are fulfilled? Do you get excommunicated? I think that's a very important question to ask. I mean, slaves can't be fired....

  13. Are nursing grads still having a hard time finding jobs?

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

    This is depressing. So, what do you all think is the average % of the graduating class that are finding full time employment soon after graduation? Is it 10%, 25%, 50%? If someone tells me that...

  14. How do the kidneys and nephrons work?

    Streamline2010 replied to peachmouse's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Are you in Europe? Americans have historically required that teachers must teach for their pay.

  15. Thinking of putting off A&P and just focusing on Transitions...sigh

    Streamline2010 replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Online Distance Learning

    What is a Transitions class? sorry, but I am not in actual nursing until

  16. Should I take chemistry?

    Streamline2010 replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yeah, if I had never seen chemistry before, I'd have struggled even harder with A&P. But there is much material in freshman chem that you'd never really need as a nurse (or as a chemical...

  17. Should I take chemistry?

    Streamline2010 replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    For which chemistry to take, I'd look at the BSN programs for many schools and see what degree of depth most of them want. Look at the online catalogs of the major universities. If the survey...

  18. Senior RN Student w/ Jealous Husband!!!

    Streamline2010 replied to mommalumps's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Oh, another thought: Some men are just jerks, and they become bitter and mean old-loser jerks when they hit middle-age. He might be baiting you to over-react so that he can call the cops on you....

  19. Senior RN Student w/ Jealous Husband!!!

    Streamline2010 replied to mommalumps's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How much is the NCLEX there? Can you sell plasma or something to raise the money, if you can't borrow it elsewhere? It sounds like you have your head on straight and you are capable. LOL! Did...

  22. A & P Help

    Streamline2010 replied to wannabeanurse2012's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hours of study. The way it's conventionally taught, A & P I is just constant memorization until the tail end of it. I used the companion web site for the textbook. And some of these, at one...

  23. Why don't programs take into consideration anything else?

    Streamline2010 replied to honeycakes55's topic in General Students

    If you just want to work as an LPN, vo-tech schools run 1-year full time programs and they might start two or three classes per year, and do not require biology as a prereq. It's just HS diploma and...

  24. The Nursing Math Thread

    Streamline2010 replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

    Another dimensional analysis or factor-label method link. I didn't read through this entire thread to see if it's already been posted. Also has a few practice problems in units conversions, which...

    Streamline2010 replied to Streamline2010's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Oh, come on, now! Act WHAT way???? I am sorry that you disagree with my assessment. For what it's worth, one CNA who is now laid off, one cousin of a nurse employed at Sharon, and one former...
