Hey there latenurse, I am actually a postpartum doula with Birth partners!! What a small world!!

Hey everyone, I have year left in my ADN program but the planner in me is already thinking ahead. After attending the NSNA conference and learning more about the Army Nirse Corps Reserves, an interest has been sparked in me. Although I am not a us c...

Hi Linda! Just wanted to say hi. I am almost finished with my first year at NVCC and am considering the reserves. I am also a permanent resident . I would be very interested in following you through your process!

Hey there guys! I am a freshman at NVCC in the nursing program!! Email meif you need any info :)

Where in CT do you live?? There are several programs out there that offer both ASN and BSN programs. I am in my second semester at Naugatuck Valley community college for my RN. Then there is Capital ASN St Josephs Bridgeport hospital school of nursi...

I guess it all depends on your school. We are allowed to make copies and are provided with the MAR with all pt info blacked out

Nope.but I work in the ED as a tech so I get a lot of time with that!

I agree with MarieDoreen, at least you know that all of the math is right!!! However in Nursing, leaving off labels can be a BIG MISTAKE and can be life or death. Good luck with the next test. It sounds like you will be fine! Just watch those labels!...

No, we are not required to be CNA's or take a course through the progam. Although I would think that our first semster deals mostly with all CNA skills.

In most of the situations where you have to clean up people, those people are in a bad part of their life. Either sick or just unable to do it for themselves. At that point I put myself in their situation and say that I hope there would be someone th...

So did you still go to school?? During orientation we had a section in our handbook about pregnancy. The only thing that was really said was that we needed to notify them ASAP and sign papers regarding clinicals and expoures etc.

Well I guess I cannot honestly answer that question. My daughters pregnancy wwas totally uneventful with no morning sickness whatsoever. BUT that is not to say that a 2nd prgnancy will not be any different. I was very lucky with my daughters pregnanc...

We are activly TTC right now. I will probably go on BC in the next 2 months as I would not want to have a child in the middle of school. Summer break would be nice though.

White pants here too blachhhh. But we get to wear nice comfy navy colored polo shirts and then a white lab coat.

Congrats!!!! I start my ED tech job in 2 weeks. I went in last week for a couple of hours to shadow a tech and it was funny how people just said "Watch your back". I dont have any desire to be involved in all of those politics. The tech that I worke...

Hey!! Congratulations!! I am startin gmy new job as an ED tech in 2 weeks!!! So excited!!! And it also sounds like we can do alot of what you can do!!! I must say I am NOT a CNA!! I am only an EMT I and they will teach me all of the other skills that...

I agree that working while in school will be hard but I know a lot of us belong to the "work because we have to" club. I think it ihelps to have a supportive family!!! My husband is very supportive and so is my family. They told me that anytime I nee...

Working working working :) Oh yeah and getting all of my stuff set for nursing school. I also am just finishing up my EMT IV class.

I will be working 3 12's, 3rd shift. But the nights never preceed class of clinical.

I am currently in my EMT-I class and the main component is starting IVs. I have been doing rotations in the local ED and it is challenging!! I feel HORRIBLE when I miss however SO thrilled when I have a succesful stick! I have heard that IVs are just...

I most hospitals once your appliacation is received the application is then forwarded to the corresponding manager. Call the HR dept and see what they sat. They may say wait or give you contact info.

When does your semester officially start?? Are you done with orientation?? My semester officially starts August 25th. I cannot wait!!! We already had our nursing orientation in June and have started some of my summer readings. I also took my nursing...

I just got a loan through Education One at 4.65% deferred just like a stafford loan.

In my 2year ADM program we will have med surg shared with OB in the spring.
