  1. New grad-still wondering when to hold certain meds!

    coast2coast replied to RockinNurse's topic in General Nursing

    A good name for a terrible game ! OP, I like the Davis drug guide. My other suggestion would be to start making notes of the meds you've seen during the day. Categorize them into how they effect...

  2. Looking for Feedback

    coast2coast replied to SBarn's topic in General Nursing

    You've gotten some good advice so far. I just wanted to add to please tread carefully around this incident. If they are threatening your group member with expulsion (which seems harsh for a...

  3. application: type or handwritten??

    coast2coast replied to SC APRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    so the two words "see attached" do not fit in the reply box? Sounds like the app isn't working right - have you contacted the

  4. application: type or handwritten??

    coast2coast replied to SC APRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is there a stated character/word limit? Type it on a computer (it IS 2010), and write "see attached" in the space they give

  5. Would you cut your hair for your career?

    coast2coast replied to Claritee's topic in General Nursing

    I would say nothing and see what happens - especially since this is your natural hair and you say that it looks inconspicuous. It looks professional enough for interviews, correct? If they ask you to...

  6. shoes for flat feet

    coast2coast replied to dixiebelleRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've got the same problems you do. Dankso's feel like concrete torture chambers to me, so I've been living in the Asics 3020's I usually run in. They are the gel line, about $120/pair - the level...

  7. Jobs in LA

    coast2coast replied to RNewbie's topic in Nursing Career

    The job market in california is terrible right now. It would be very unwise to simply to move to LA (From MS, yes?) with no concrete plans. Do you know anyone there? Do you have any type of support...

  8. Suggestions needed for New Nurse and MD Rounds

    coast2coast replied to clhankin67's topic in Case Management

    Exactly what I was thinking. Some people just don't know when to shut their mouths - I have a wonderful cousin with a chronic case "verbal diarrhea." Have (another?) conversation with her about...

  9. just had to share

    coast2coast replied to pedspnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Honestly it sounds like a comment that could have been totally

  10. Anyone think 4 classes for $2000 is alot?

    coast2coast replied to okiedokie123's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ooooh yeah it's possible. Unfortunately. You don't want to know how much grad credits can cost ... I don't know what the expected price difference is with a community

  11. clinical/grading system

    coast2coast replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

    I realize you think that you are being mistreated, but ... 30 objectives? That sounds like a lot of detail. They have told you what the expectations are ahead of time, and you should prepare...

  12. Anyone think 4 classes for $2000 is alot?

    coast2coast replied to okiedokie123's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If these are standard 3-credit undergraduate courses, from a reputable school, $2000 is DIRT CHEAP! I paid closer to $500/credit for some of mine. Are you sure it isn't $2000/class ? :) Even if...

  13. Ausculate the aptm

    coast2coast replied to avery0603's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    wasn't taught erbs in my class - instructor said it was old-fashioned and no longer used. hmm. at A&P S2 is louder. T&M, S1 is

  14. Pinning Song

    coast2coast replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Students

    If somebody played Miley Cyrus at my graduation, I would probably start killing people.

  15. Is anyone in the *Accelerated* MSN program?

    coast2coast replied to xInspiredx's topic in General Students

    nurse2033 meant what school are you at? Programs vary wildly and hearing about my accelerated program could be totally irrelevant to

  16. Do you need to take the exact class?

    coast2coast replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing schools tend to be VERY strict about prerequisites. To give you an idea ... I had an entire degree in psychology and I still had to take Lifespan (what you are calling human development) just...

  17. Need advice on what to do.

    coast2coast replied to mrlo's topic in Nursing Career

    I just wanted to say that I was admitted to a couple 2nd degree programs and did not have any trouble w/ credit from previous courses. Don't overlook these programs, they are probably closest to what...

  18. How do you make the statement "I want to help people." sound not so cliché?

    coast2coast replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Exactly what I was going to say. Tell them a story about yourself - what you used to and why you want to switch to nursing to fulfill the goal of helping

  19. Part-time LPN program-Is it worth it?

    coast2coast replied to laski's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess it depends on whether you need to bring in income in the next few years or not. If you do ... perhaps the LPN/bridging route is the right way to go. If not, honestly it's much simpler to do...

  20. psychology

    coast2coast replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    psychology is straight memorization. anybody can teach it and anybody can learn it. all it takes is

  21. Part-time LPN program-Is it worth it?

    coast2coast replied to laski's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Given how much education you already have, you might also consider doing a direct entry program that allows for de-celeration. There are a number of these that are 2-3 years long if you go full...

  22. NG jobless for 8 months, is there hope?

    coast2coast replied to violet_violet's topic in General Nursing

    If the post is referring to Hoag Irvine, I believe they piggybacked magnet status off of an existing location: Hoag Hospital Not sure how that works but Hoag is new and did receive magnet status....

  23. Experienced nurses: What do student nurses do that drives you nuts?

    coast2coast replied to aem31's topic in General Nursing

    Gotta watch out for the feral ones - they bite. Then you have to get shots, they send the head off for testing

  24. No sat score, no admissions! Non-traditional student

    coast2coast replied to Angelfire3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think this guy ... :anbd: ... sums up the RIDICULOUS bureaucracy of nursing school. Good luck figuring this all

  25. Classmate making me feel uncomfortable.

    coast2coast replied to agua's topic in General Students

    *&^%$#@!!. I got yelled at the last time I cussed on AN, so that's the best I can do in response to this. Please be careful around this guy! Like, really careful. If he's really as off as you...
