  1. Degree in the arts vs. degree in nursing

    cmw6v8 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

    I think a BSN is a very valuable degree. Especially considering that if you did choose bio or psych instead of nursing, you would pretty much have to go on to grad school to do anything with those...

  2. Becoming a Tutor

    cmw6v8 replied to JustKeepSmiling's topic in General Students

    Well, although I may be a bit skeptical about the amount of business you'd be able to drum up tutoring independently, there is probably very little risk in trying. You need to advertise what you can...

  3. Reading Nursing Fundamentals prior to NS?

    cmw6v8 replied to Strwbrywne's topic in General Students

    I kind of glossed over my P&P Fundamentals book before school started. It was interesting and exciting to see what we'd be learning, but I don't think it really helped me in any way academically,...

  4. Best makeup for clinicals?

    cmw6v8 replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    My skin has a tendency to be on the oily side too. I personally love Bare Minerals--it's been great for me. You might try using a really gentle cleanser like Cetaphil--many dermatologists recommend...

  5. after all the horor stories.. here's a good one.

    cmw6v8 replied to paramed1's topic in General Students

    I also like my nursing instructors. I see a lot of my fellow students bashing one particular instructor in our program, and the reasons they appear to not like her are silly, in my opinion. A lot of...

  6. How to handle clients who get upset when performing VS

    cmw6v8 replied to Becca Thomas, SN's topic in General Students

    I would just educate them before doing it: "I need to take your blood pressure, you might feel a little tightness in your arm for just a few seconds but it will go away quickly." I'm not sure what you...

  7. Tips from you morning people! :/

    cmw6v8 replied to NICURN2013's topic in General Students

    Well, I was going to suggest coffee... :) For me when I have awful early morning wake-up calls, I try to plan something for the morning to look forward to. For me it's my coffee...I love it. I know...

  8. While Warning About Fat, U.S. (Government) Pushes Cheese Sales

    cmw6v8 replied to GM2RN's topic in General Nursing

    I've read so many conflicting--and convincing--studies about the benefits/risks of saturated fat in dairy products. Some say it's bad for your heart, others say it's not....but here's what I think:...

  10. Listen up future Nurses. I have some news...

    cmw6v8 replied to Nurse-One's topic in General Students

    This can be said for college students with any major--finding a job right now is tough for all new grads. You have given some good advice, and while it's absolutely a great idea to avoid debt if...

  12. How many hours a week are you in class, lab or clinical?

    cmw6v8 replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    I'm in a BSN program, this is my first semester of nursing coursework. My nursing classes only take up about 9 hours of week, and my clinical this semester is only 4 hours (one day a week). So my...

  13. Can your employer call you back after you called off sick and demand you come in??

    cmw6v8 replied to princessnurse1's topic in General Nursing

    Not to mention that not only are we already working in a screwed up health care system, why not go ahead and contribute to the problem by driving up health care costs with unnecessary urgent/ER visits...

  14. Attending my first conference

    cmw6v8 replied to flyingchange's topic in General Nursing

    I've never attended a nursing or health care conference (second career student here) but I've attended plenty in other fields. Generally all you really need to bring are business cards for...

  15. How can I feel less nervous about starting nursing school?

    cmw6v8 replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    I also have a degree in another area and no experience in health care before I started my nursing program. I was really nervous too...but luckily my program starts us off slow. Our first semester we...

    cmw6v8 replied to Noob_to_Nursing's topic in General Students

  18. Annoyed- Surgical Tech does NOT equal Nurse!

    cmw6v8 replied to Sue Damones's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience with my own family and friends, it seems like people who aren't familiar with the health care field just assume that anyone who wears scrubs is a nurse and anyone with a lab coat is a...

  19. what should I start to get RN job

    cmw6v8 replied to smilelee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sorry to break it to you, but right now in this economy, most people looking for work, no matter what career, are having to apply for WAY more than 2 jobs before they get an interview. You will need...

  20. Should I take bagels first day of work?

    cmw6v8 replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's up to you! I personally wouldn't do it but I'm usually very reserved when I'm in a new work environment. I would prefer to get a feel for the culture of the place. I would be afraid...

  21. ...best jobs while in nursing school.

    cmw6v8 replied to brotherbear's topic in General Students

    Right now I work as a diet clerk in the dietary office at a hospital. I like the job because I'm interested in nutrition, and it has pretty good hours. I work the dinner shift (4-7 p.m.) two nights a...

  22. Is there any shy and quiet people like me?

    cmw6v8 replied to EduardoLugo's topic in General Students

    Have you ever had your hearing checked? It's possible you could have a hearing impairment. If you were getting As & Bs, you obviously aren't dumb. Nursing classes are very tough, even for the best...

  24. What jobs are there for a BS nursing degree but no license?

    cmw6v8 replied to jcutler's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In my state at least, you can work as a "Graduate Nurse" for 6 months after you graduate. Basically gives you time to pass

  25. HIPAA

    cmw6v8 replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    Hm, I see your point but I feel like the abbreviation isn't as important as knowing what it stands for (hopefully if you asked them they would know) and more importantly, what it means. In the grand...
