  1. drugs that need precaution...

    coast2coast replied to maiohmai's topic in General Nursing

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

    Pursue research! It's not a great career choice but it's an excellent experience to have for a few years. It will majorly sharpen your critical thinking skills and it's nice to have a break between...

  8. 2nd Semester RN student, thinking of going to LVN..Advice?

    coast2coast replied to Sammygrll's topic in General Students

    A few ideas ... First, you only have 2 weeks left. So now is not the time to make any big decisions - stick it out and try to keep your head above water. With that in mind - have a frank conversation...

    coast2coast replied to CrabbyPatty's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    A word of caution ... that doesn't look like a very reliable source to be getting information from. If you google the author of the article, Joseph M. Carver PhD, you will find that his medical...

  13. Nursing careers in Pharmacology?!

    coast2coast replied to ErinRN2B's topic in General Students

    If you really want an MS in pharmacology, do some major research into that now. You will need to take many more advanced science courses (& research experience) than your BSN

    coast2coast replied to EarthhAngel2013's topic in General Students

    coast2coast replied to OBplease's topic in General Students

    Immunology is a tough field so don't beat yourself if you're struggling to keep it all straight in your mind. First - it is very, very good that you understand things like humoral &...

  16. Relationships with Doctors

    coast2coast replied to G in Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I've seen some residents lose respect for nurses because they are being chased around by one or two MD-crazed RN's. They start getting silly pages and whenever they sit down to chart some...

    coast2coast replied to Bleanne00's topic in General Students

    First clarify whether you need vaccines or titers. Insurance will usually cover vaccines and often won't cover titers - so having insurance may or may not help you here. Either way, call your local...

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

    The BSN isn't "entirely different" from other majors BUT. Nursing programs are ridiculously competitive. Some schools have lottery systems to get in, some have merit systems, some have 3 -year wait...

  22. High glucose levels, everywhere!

    coast2coast replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    coast2coast replied to living on faith's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
