    Infusion RN for new grad with lots of IV experience prior to RN school

    SoldierNurse22 replied to RunBabyRN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Some of the things you'll see in Infusion nursing won't follow you to OB, and I can't imagine you'll see too many central lines unless the patient has severe hyperemesis, but they're good skills to...

    Infusion RN for new grad with lots of IV experience prior to RN school

    SoldierNurse22 replied to RunBabyRN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    If the recruiter said no, then it's no. They have the most up-to-date info, not the website. You'll be fortunate to get in at all the way things are

    SoldierNurse22 replied to Oedgar's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    SoldierNurse22 replied to JNursee's topic in General Nursing

    If I could, I'd love to go to different countries for months at a time and live amongst that nation's various populations. Fully blend in as much as possible, if you will. Dress as they dress, learn...

    ROTC nurse?

    SoldierNurse22 replied to Aejin Joo's topic in Nursing Career

    It's either LTC or LDAC, then. Tell her not to worry. The training nowadays is nothing like it used to be, and frequently the heat category will prevent cadets from training most of the day. I'm not...

    Useful to know another language?

    Even if you're not fluent, some knowledge of a patient's native tongue can be extremely useful in building rapport. Not necessarily a resume item, but something to think

    Are we needed?

    SoldierNurse22 replied to Joshhelpingothers's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm not sure what your sex has to do with your employment as a nurse. Search "nursing shortage" on AN to look at what male and female nurses are currently saying about the job

    Why are hospital television documentaries okay?

    SoldierNurse22 replied to Semolina's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Our society is an increasingly frivolous creature, rabid with the concept of quick fame and fortune with minimal effort. There's no such thing as bad press anymore, much less dignity or propriety....

    Future RN wanting to be an Anesthesiologist

    SoldierNurse22 replied to Jaquada's topic in Nursing Career

    Perhaps I'm missing something here, but if you're going for your MD, why not do pre-med in bio or something similar instead of nursing? You lose the extra semester of pre-reqs as well as the cost of...
