  1. Nursing School Patient Loads

    Student Mom to Three replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    By the 5th qtr of my ADN program (6qtrs total) we had a full load. I was on oncology and a full load was only 3-4 so I was lucky. Our rotations were five weeks long. My last quarter was in PACU and...

  2. OMG Say it correctly!

    Student Mom to Three replied to seanynjboy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I cannot stand "yers" instead of "yours"---my whole family is guilty of this! That is just lazy language. Had a bio prof who referred to proteins as

  3. Nursing School is the New Law School - Almost 2 years and still no job

    Student Mom to Three replied to RN003's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So, you must at least be getting interviews if you are hearing this, right? I am assuming that if you were "blacklisted" at the local hospitals because of your father (small town politics suck) that...

  4. Fluids in Moderate Sedation

    Student Mom to Three replied to cardinal14's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Civilian facility- we mostly do GA, with the occasional IV sedate. We treat the sedation the same as the GA and hang. We actually give lots of fluid. CRNA's feeling is that it helps with PONV and...

  5. Just curious.....

    Student Mom to Three posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I was reading the posts about the compositions required for RN- BSN and it got me wondering a bit.... I have an ADN (and a BS in psychology). I will only earn my BSN if forced because I am just...

  6. Health Insurance rates...

    Student Mom to Three replied to HippyDippyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Mine is a whopping $828 per month to cover my family.....and it isn't even all that great. Pretty high deductibles and co-pays. Kills me, but what am I supposed to

  7. Could someone of average IQ become an ADN nurse?

    Student Mom to Three replied to Weber's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Stanford-Binet. Just

  8. Any ADN-BSN programs without ridiculous papers?

    Student Mom to Three replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Go for it....50 pages that isn't just a bunch of BS and drivel? Can't

  9. Any ADN-BSN programs without ridiculous papers?

    Student Mom to Three replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Online Distance Learning

    6-8 pages on an emotion?? That's just busywork.

  10. ADN plus a previous 4 year degree

    Student Mom to Three replied to MN2LA's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think it depends on your specific degree. My bachelor's from 20+ years ago is Psych, so I could very easily find ways to make my previous education pertinent to whatever nursing position I applied...

  11. New grad career change and reentering the workforce after 10 years -

    Student Mom to Three replied to Blue Cat's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Congrats on making it through nursing school with kiddos.....not easy! I was in a similar position: BS in Psych with a pretty decent work history, quit work to stay home and raise kids for ten years...

  12. Is it feasible/realistic to be able to work as a school nurse well into my 60's?

    Student Mom to Three replied to bella201's topic in School

    My very first RN job (two weeks after passing NCLEX) was as a school nurse. I have an ADN. Clearly, the requirements vary by state, and likely by district. Check around a bit and good

  13. New graduate looking for any type of cover letter critique

    Student Mom to Three replied to ellenc23's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I hire RNs. I like a nice, complete cover letter that is tailored to my facility- so I think the length is fine. But, what I want to know is what you will SPECIFICALLY do for ME. I want to know...

  14. Kind of a rant, sorry!

    Student Mom to Three replied to MECO28's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I work in a free standing ASC. I consult anesthesia for any patient problems that aren't directly related to the surgery

  15. Please Critique my Resume (New Grad, RN) Thank You!

    Student Mom to Three replied to mlaineRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    No advice here...I am just shocked at your clinical hours. According to your resume you put in 48 clinical hours per week Nov 2011 through March 2012. Did I read that correctly?

  17. If you could pick your ideal job in nursing, what would it be?

    Student Mom to Three replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    This is easy! I would invent my own periop job. I would be with my patient as their pre-op RN, circulator and then recover them in PACU. That job would make me so stinkin' happy! Of course,...

  18. Frustrated in BSN program

    Student Mom to Three replied to JZ_RN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Of course they learn pathophysiology and pharmacology....maybe the classes just don't have those titles. In my program we went by systems....learn the cardiac/neuro/GI/whatever diseases appropriate...

  19. Frustrated in BSN program

    Student Mom to Three replied to JZ_RN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    "Are you taking pathophysiology yet? I don't see how learning the disease process wouldn't help a hospital nurse." She has an ADN.....she has had loads of pathophysiology. What exactly do you think...

  20. What kind of PSYCH disorder does this sound like?

    Student Mom to Three replied to paddler's topic in General Nursing

    Asperger's.

  21. Joined your ranks today!

    Student Mom to Three posted a topic in School

    Brand new school RN here! Actually, brand new RN. Earned my licensed a little less than a month ago and I start my new job next week. It is very part time in a small school district- only 15 hours...

  22. Need help defining research "key words" please!

    Student Mom to Three posted a topic in PACU

    Hello- I am a senior nursing student (in more ways than one!) and am doing some online research for a paper I need to write. Basically, I need to locate some research (actual experiment or...

  24. quick ND/STG question!

    Student Mom to Three replied to trauma_lama's topic in General Nursing

    I would also probably use pain as the diagnosis. I don't think that risk for activity intolerance is a NANDA approved diagnosis. Some courses/instructors don't require for diagnoses to be NANDA...

  25. Why cant I get an interview or at least a job?

    Student Mom to Three replied to ilove's topic in Nursing Career

    I would think that you would know if there is a problem with your credit history or criminal background. Is there something there that you think may be sending up a red flag to potential employers?...
