  1. Charting... tips

    Kaychell replied to violet_violet's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you SO much CheyFire. You're post is incredibly helpful!! I've been wondering about do's and don'ts of

  2. Night Shift Pros and Cons

    Kaychell replied to Kaychell's topic in General Nursing

    I've never been bothered by getting up early. In fact I'm up at 5:45 right now since I have an hour drive to NS. I'm just concerned that night shift will be all that is available in our small town...

  3. Paying for priority

    Kaychell replied to HamsterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thinking about this, wouldn't this policy open the hospital up for a lawsuit? I mean if you have 2 or 3 big donors in and your nurses and docs are all tangled up with them and you have a regular Joe...

  4. Ratted out a co-worker and now feel guilty

    Kaychell replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Ditch the guilt. You did the right thing, you worked hard to obtain your license, it would be crappy if you lost it because of someone else's

  5. Paying for priority

    Kaychell replied to HamsterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't agree with that at all. That's

  6. Night Shift Pros and Cons

    Kaychell replied to Kaychell's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in a home health office as the office coordinator and it's something that's appealing to me. I like the m-f hours (8-4), weekends off, the autonomy of being out of the office and taking care...

  7. icky question....but

    Kaychell replied to glitterygirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Student loans are paying for my

  8. Prioritizing patients

    Kaychell replied to obfuscate's topic in General Nursing

    Some of those are REALLY obvious...this shouldn't that hard for you. Go through your nursing process and the

  9. Is nursing the way to go?

    Kaychell replied to live.love.laugh's topic in General Students

    No one can tell you what the economy will be like when you graduate. I'll graduate in 2 years with an ADN and I'm nervous expecially since we live in a small town, BUT I have no idea what the economy...

  10. Is it realistic that I'll make 80-100,000 thousand after I graduate with associates.

    Kaychell replied to Awright162's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the BSN arguement applies to all places. Around here, one of the ADN programs is much more competitive than one of the BSN programs. The ADN program I'm in puts out some REALLY REALLY...

  11. Should I be concerned/

    Kaychell replied to milksteak's topic in General Students

    A friend of mine who went thru an ADN program had this happen. She said it's very common to graduate with half or less of your original class. She said there were 50 of them when she started and only...

  12. Being a mom in school

    Kaychell replied to frogkicker's topic in General Students

    I would say the majority of the people in my class are parents. We even have grandparents! I think everyone has some sort of "disadvantage", but I don't anyone has to view it as such. My kids motivate...

  13. Poll: Healthcare Experience Before Nursing School?

    Kaychell replied to nursein2012's topic in General Students

    I have no direct patient care experience. Prior to entering nursing school, I was the office coordinator at a hospital for a year. However, while doing my pre-reqs prior to any of my work experience,...

  14. ADN or BSN

    Kaychell replied to tainya's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went with an ADN an opted to drive 72 miles one way rather than going with the BSN available in my own town. BSN/ADN pay rates are the same here so that had no effect on my decision. The ADN program...

  15. Overweight Nurse?

    Kaychell replied to MissKatie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a first year NS and obese. I have lost 22 pounds this year (I started in January at 248) and have about 50 to go before I'm happy with where I'll be. I went to my PCP in July before school started...

  16. Why did you get into nursing?

    Kaychell replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

    When I first did my pre-reqs, I was in it to help people and to really make a difference. Then life took me down a completely different road. Now, as I'm coming back into nursing (I'm a 1st yr NS),...

  17. Is it realistic that I'll make 80-100,000 thousand after I graduate with associates.

    Kaychell replied to Awright162's topic in General Nursing

    I think it depends on where you live and where you work. Around here BSN and ADN's make about the same. The real difference is if you're in management or not around here. I believe that nurses here...

  18. EduKan

    Kaychell replied to KAMARAkamara's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't taken Chem, but I did take general bio and AP1 this summer through EduKan and it wasn't too bad. It was very very very involved however. Much more so than any other online classes I've

  19. Fundamentals test

    Kaychell replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    Our first test was friday, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Ours covered handwashing, legal, teaching, communication, restraints, informed consent, ehtics, prioritization, CPR and

  20. Does anyone else feel like their program starts off slow?

    Kaychell replied to jennafezz's topic in General Students

    Our ADN program has 4 weeks of just skills lab before we start out at a nursing home and then go to the hospital. I was all kinds of excited to know that they weren't just going to throw us in a...

  21. First week of NS. Any misconceptions?

    Kaychell replied to jennabean55's topic in General Students

    After our first two weeks, I've learned that my program must be extremely different from most of those on here. Our instructors have been wonderful and they seem like they genuinely care about us and...

  22. How much time do you *really*spend studying?

    Kaychell replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

    I spend an hour about every day looking over that days lecture materials. I also relisten to the lectures

  23. Please help me...Do you think I'll get kicked out of nursing school?

  24. Being a mom in school

    Kaychell replied to frogkicker's topic in General Students

    I'm not a single mom, but sometimes I feel like one. I try to study as much as I can on campus. Between classes, after classes, etc. When I'm home, not much studying happens. I do record the lectures...

  25. How many patients do you have during clinicals?

    Kaychell posted a topic in General Students

    We haven't started our clinicals and won't until later towards the end of this month, our instructor told us yesterday that we'll only have 1 patient at each of out clinical that we will be...
