  1. Pre Reqs for nursing

    racquetmom replied to adruiz01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To answer some of your questions: Is your mom or dad still alive to ask if you had immunizations as a child as well as what illnesses you had such as chicken pox. I had to have titers drawn to...

  2. New Grad RN need not apply

    racquetmom replied to ohyeah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    RNLIMB2B (I think was the name) just posted they got a job after 5 months searching in PACU and OR. They said they never thought they would start in a place like that....how can that be....you need...

  3. Struggles with finding a nursing job....

    racquetmom replied to ohyeah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Maybe you should have done some research prior to going to school if you wanted a position in acute care right out the gate. I certainly wouldn't want a new grad taking care of me while in acute...

  4. What do you wish you were told on the first day?

    racquetmom replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    What kind of school is this? There are numerous posts on here where one maybe two tardys and you are out of the program. Is this accurate that the person is late every single clinical for two...

  5. Interview questions - What did you ask the interviewer?

    racquetmom replied to LaurainLA's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My point is you can google and quickly find out if the hospital is JCAHO certified and has nothing to do with settling. There are many candidates so you want to be the prepared one. Asking simply for...

  6. Rate my chances? Please?

    racquetmom replied to Ashley.'s topic in Post Graduate Students

    Well, noone is responding so did you do a search on allnurses for your topic and maybe you can find older postings of people who went through programs. Also, I would think your GRE is an important...

  7. Working and nursing school...

    racquetmom replied to Blueroses91's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree and I don't see how you study working 11-7 as my clinicals are 6:30a-3:30p (working to 7a or even 3p is not an option in this program at least for clinical days)so by the time you drive home...

  8. So frustrating!

    racquetmom replied to SchoolNurseChristine's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That would be freaky. You were half way through so are you glad as now you can reivew some things that maybe you were unsure of at the time taking the test or are you feeling......I just wanted it...

  9. Anyone every do a Peer Interview?

    racquetmom replied to RossayRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have been in peer interviews before, but not for nursing job (I am nursing student). Basically, the same thing you just went through except with co-workers or team members. They will ask questions...

    racquetmom replied to ChrissyLove123's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am not sure how you are figuring this out, but use dimensional analysis Your last line doesn't equal your x=84:confused: Also, if I follow your last line you would multiply 0.5g X 0.06g divide by...

  11. TEST TOMORROW!! Need Help Desperately!!! Calculating Flow Rate

    racquetmom replied to ChrissyLove123's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Step I: I get 10mg/kg/min because 100kg multiply by 0.1mg = 10mg then you need to convert to mg/hr and multiply by 60 (60 minutes per hour). 10mg/min X 60min/hr = 600 mg/hr as the min. cross each...

  12. Do they look at high school transcipts??

  13. Interview questions - What did you ask the interviewer?

    racquetmom replied to LaurainLA's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You really should know all those answers walking into the interview by going on the webpage and learning everything you can about the company. Most sites even tell you about benefits and tuition...

  14. Your desired specialty

    racquetmom replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is an older post of what KimGau is talking about. You have to have a BSN and then attend a RNFA program in order to become a CRNFA.

  15. Would ADHD disqualify me from nursing school

    racquetmom replied to CheckSix's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know some friends who had young kids on medicine for ADHD, but for you to get dx and a rx in college . It seems like you are totally surprised by this dx and never had it discussed before. Did you...

  16. Finding a job... should I be worried?

    racquetmom replied to css62's topic in General Students

    My comment is that this is a nursing forum so everything is related to such. If you were to go on engineering forum or teacher forum you would be reading the same concerns about finishing school and...

  17. Math book?

    racquetmom replied to nethmzd's topic in General Students

    Our school is using the calculate with confidence as emtoh17 stated and I had picked up medical dosing made incredibly easy for practice. Program hasn't started yet that is why I could run through...

  18. A-BSNorMSN Does undergrad university matter?

    Traditional BSN or accelerated BSN is undergraduate

  19. I just need advice..

    racquetmom replied to Jessicaeileen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check with your university to see what the typical gpa for them is and how many students selected. You may find it is just as difficult if not more. Also, the BSN program will have more pre-req...

  20. Incoming GPA for ADN programs?

    racquetmom replied to Mideast100's topic in General Students

  21. Which Volunteering Positions?

    racquetmom replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's never a good idea as they can check and if found out you will be fried. As happy2learn pointed out typically 4-6 months to even a year because it takes time to be trained which costs money so...

  22. I just ordered a Zuca bag for school

    racquetmom replied to JackieBRCC's topic in General Students

    I just want to point out when I was carrying my micro book, micro lab material, notebook, lunch....my instructor was on my case everyday about getting that load off my back and a few others too she...

  23. Devastated.

    racquetmom replied to sayang87's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I find this to be really odd. I worked for a home health (not recently) and there was no way we ever hired new grads. Very strict on number of years experience as you are alone at the home with no...

  24. Is there really "stability"?

    racquetmom replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, I agree with a lot of negativity out there. This website if full of wonderful information, tips, advice, and negativity. It is a place where people can vent because maybe friends and family...
