  1. Note-taking tips

    cmw6v8 replied to ErinRN2B's topic in General Students

    on my mac it's an option under project gallery...ah well just saw that you found

  2. Note-taking tips

    cmw6v8 replied to ErinRN2B's topic in General Students

    I still can't decide whether I want to use a notebook or my laptop for note taking. I think I'd rather use my laptop because it will keep me more organized. Also, in MS Word there is a "Notebook"...

  3. Adjusting to a new schedule

    cmw6v8 replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    I'm going to have to wake up by 6 for my classes on Monday/Wednesday, and by 5 if I want to squeeze in a workout on those days. Other than caffeine, nutrition and exercise help me stay energized....

  4. DNP vs MD

    cmw6v8 replied to healthstar's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    These MDs are probably just jealous that DNPs get to do much of what they do, without the headache of being responsible for the paperwork tunnels of billing and insurance, etc. plus they still get to...

  5. I'm sure this has been said.. MA's calling themselves Nurses

    cmw6v8 replied to AprilN's topic in General Nursing

    This is a complicated issue. Historically, a "nurse" could even just be a babysitter or a nanny. We use the term "nursing" to refer to a breastfeeding mother and to someone who provides health care......

  6. BSN after MSN anyone?

    cmw6v8 replied to 777RN's topic in General Students

    I would expect that you would be just fine. I can't think of any reason why any employer would require you to have a BSN when you already have an MSN. As long as it's an accredited program...and I...

  7. what the heck do you wear to a Nursing School interview?

    cmw6v8 replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Students

    For the ABSN program I interviewed for, I wore a suit (black pants, black blazer and a button-down blouse). Most other people there were wearing suits as well. You might opt for something other than...

  8. ADN to RN-BSN vs. accelerated BSN & Columbia College vs. MU

    cmw6v8 replied to midmo's topic in General Nursing

    I took my pre-reqs at Columbia College and really enjoyed the coursework and the instructors I had there...not sure about the nursing courses though. I would honestly apply to more than one program,...

  9. Students- I need your input please

    cmw6v8 replied to JDougRN's topic in General Students

    I haven't started clinicals yet but I'll let you know what I appreciate from instructors and also trainers I've had in work situations, along with what I hope to get in my clinical experience. I like...

  10. Quitting job to go to nursing school

    cmw6v8 replied to 2bnurseskip's topic in General Students

    I'm in the same boat, but without kids. My husband works full-time but doesn't make a whole lot, so money is going to be very tight. We just bought our home two years ago, about four months before I...

  11. Accelerated 2nd Degree BSN w/ No Prior Nursing Educational Background

    cmw6v8 replied to smarino27's topic in General Students

    I'm in a similar boat--my 1st degree is journalism and I'm starting a traditional BSN program in a few weeks. I also had NO science background or clinical experience. I applied to an ABSN program and...

  12. What would you spend more money on?

    cmw6v8 replied to sch1109's topic in General Students

    My program fee includes a $75 Littman stethoscope, so I didn't have much choice in the matter as far as that went. I am a big believer in good shoes, but honestly for my first semester coming up I...

  13. What are health related programs that are < competitive than Nursing ? Need a career!

    cmw6v8 replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Students

    When I was researching these kinds of programs before I chose nursing, it still seems like any and all of them are going to be pretty competitive, in general. You will need good grades to get into any...

  14. Should I just lie?

    cmw6v8 replied to grateful2010's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure if this has been suggested yet, but you could also contact the nurse recruiters at different hospitals and try and get an informational interview with them so you can explain your situation...

  15. Can we get rid of the sugar in nursing?

    cmw6v8 replied to Nurse Joey's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just a student here, but I agree...I don't have a syrupy sweet personality, although I am kind and compassionate. I think professionalism and balance is key. I'm sure I will have patients who need...

  16. Immunization Records

    cmw6v8 replied to tisgemuh's topic in General Students

    Depends on what our school needs. Would certainly seem easier to do it with your pediatrician if he has all your records right there. My school required us to show proof of varicella vaccination or...

  17. Please help me choose a direction in nursing

    cmw6v8 replied to jpdills's topic in General Nursing

    Others have given good advice...I'm in a similar situation, switching from journalism to nursing. I'm starting a traditional BSN program this fall. It took me just over a year to complete my pre-reqs....

  18. Electives...Easy A or something I'll ACTUALLY use!???

    cmw6v8 replied to tammy1974's topic in General Students

    Definitely take something you'll use, otherwise it's a waste of your money. Plus, typically even elective classes that are useful are going to be a bit easier, at least that's been my experience. If...

  19. Can you take labs separately?

    cmw6v8 replied to boohill's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have seen students who didn't get into the lab portion because it was full at my college take the lecture and then take the lab separately during the next session, but it's ok to do it that way...

  20. Honors BSN unable to find job. Can the college be sued?

    cmw6v8 replied to Tankweti's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it's the college's responsibility to inform students about how hard it could be to find a job. That's preliminary research that students should do before choosing a career, not to...

  21. What is your opinion on this matter?

    cmw6v8 replied to happy2learn's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely support your stance on this issue and I would encourage you to get involved with the cause and fight for the money to stay at the hospital. I don't know how funds are appropriated in your...

  22. How hard is college level Chemistry?

    cmw6v8 replied to marilynmom's topic in General Students

    I never took chemistry in high school and never took ANY math or advanced science in college (got my requirements out of the way in high school thanks to dual credit classes) when I went for my first...

  23. Listing Credentials After Name

    cmw6v8 replied to Summaboy's topic in General Nursing

    What other marketing tools are you going to use other than business cards? For business cards, I would keep it brief and maybe not spell out nursing or psychology (I would definitely list BSN and...

  24. Need a little clinical advice

    cmw6v8 replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Students

    "I don't want to sell myself short or miss any opportunities" I would definitely lead with this--it shows that you are taking initiative to get the most out of your clinical and not just complaining...

  25. Literature needed to put Nursing School into prespective

    cmw6v8 replied to krazykchan's topic in General Students

    I'm in the same boat, and I've also been in your fiance's shoes as well. I don't know of any literature to point out to you, but I did want to share a bit of my experience. A few years ago my husband...
