  1. BSN is a joke

    JROregon replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with Ruby Vee, you can either do the work to get the BSN or not. You can do it cheaply through a WGU type program and take a bunch of credits at once or do it through a more expensive program...

  2. Encouragement needed - Frustrated and insulted by hourly rates

    JROregon replied to kemansha1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In my area, hospital nurses start at $34/hour. In the bigger metro areas, a little higher but the bigger city hospitals require a BSN. The local hospitals usually only hire new grads if they have been...

  3. Stuck in clinic as a new grad?

    JROregon replied to tenderfootjoe's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    How will you find out if you don't apply for that hospital job and go through the interview process? I applied for 3 different hospital jobs, after working in a clinic for a year, and got the job I...

  4. Failed BSN Program Junior Year

    JROregon replied to BanannaFish's topic in General Students

    BanannaFish, I wouldn't give up on your dreams. While I have seen nursing students fail out and even fail twice and are done with it. I have also seen those who failed out come back and do a...

  6. suggestions for urgent care nurse?

    JROregon replied to plainfieldguy's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Urgent care is very task oriented and you'll be trained on just about everything because there is really a little bit of everything. You will want to be able to talk about being a multi-tasker and...

  7. Testing out of A&P

    JROregon replied to beccaboo322's topic in General Students

    How does one get accepted into a nursing school without having taken A&P? Is this one of those schools that you pay 100 grand ahead of time and they accept everyone who can pay? I don't mean to...

  8. Help! New nurse with questions!

    JROregon replied to calliemarie30's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Agree with the posters saying think non-hospital. The Legacy, Providence, and OHSU systems will all be wanting BSNs. If you don't mind a long commute, you might be able to find a hospital position at...

  9. What states need nurses the most?

    JROregon replied to themoderngiant's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I grew up in a suburb in the SF Bay Area and now live in a semi-rural area. Rural means you may have a 30 minute to hour drive before you get to the nearest Walmart. Rural means your nearest neighbor...

  10. Help!!! Where to begin to start nursing school

    JROregon replied to Mrs Clegg's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So most of this will depend on which college/university you will want to attend at the end of active duty. A good start will be a writing/composition class, math at the college algebra level, biology...

  11. Accepted and Looking for Advise!

    JROregon replied to country73's topic in General Students

    You will be buying bunkloads of books in no time. Here's what I would spend a little cash on. I would get yourself one of the newest N-CLEX guides to see what you'll be tested on when you're done with...

  12. Tell me about your first day of nursing school

    JROregon replied to ♑ Capricorn ♑'s topic in General Students

    Really, 28 questions. I don't even remember the 1st day. I do remember the 1st 2 weeks being the most stressful as none of us know the schedule until we showed up on the first day. We were thrown a...

  13. How to pick yourself up from a bad test score...

    JROregon replied to Java Mama's topic in General Students

    Know your pathophys. Know your most important lab values. Just as important, know what your role is as the nurse. What assessments will you be doing for what conditions? What symptoms are you going to...

  14. Test strategies I've learned

    JROregon replied to rbrandnew's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm not sure why an honor student that dropped out of nursing school was a motivator to write all this. All of the people coming into nursing school (at least at my school) were on the honor roll and...

  15. Was this a HIPPA violation?

    JROregon replied to Sammy19's topic in General Students

    Or, if you go back to the same hospital tomorrow, working on another floor, and decide to look up your friend's chart electronically. Since she is not your patient, you cannot look at her

  16. OB nursing...I just don't get it.

    JROregon replied to i<3u's topic in General Students

    We had OB/peds stuff in the first year and it was so general, it was kind of a yawner. Still, I studied and did pretty good. The high risk OB in the second year is what was really interesting because...

  19. What is with all the crying?

    JROregon replied to Rick68fl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Rick68, I am female and I don't get all the crying either. Although when we have lectures on babies and kids with serious problems, I get a little sad. We don't all fit the

  20. New student need help

    JROregon replied to Furturenurse100's topic in General Students

    I couldn't have said it better than Esme12. There isn't much you can study or prepare for right now. I don't know what classes you have taken up to now and how quickly the BSN students jump into care...

  21. How hard is it to get into nursing program?

    JROregon replied to lauren201's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The smart people figure out that they might need a little help with those science classes and will take the pre-A&P class or take their A&P classes over. Some of us need to "ramp up" a little...

  22. Cirrhosis

    JROregon replied to vegas2000's topic in General Students

    Agreed, asterixis is just a late sign. The varices, if they rupture, can cause your patient to bleed to death. Flapping hands won't hurt anybody :

    JROregon replied to futurenurse1248's topic in General Students

    I'm going to a community college and I can tell you that they don't care how I did in high school : ) However, most of us knew that we needed straight As in the core pre-requisite classes to be...
