  1. Another nurse bites the dust due to facebook

    MissJulie replied to siringe's topic in Nursing News

    We've already had issues with Facebook, and I'm just in nursing school! There were actually a few students whom had put some "opinions" about their clinical instructors on Facebook. Now, that...

  2. Which education path do I take??

    MissJulie replied to travelgurl18's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I wouldn't think that LVN-BSN would be the best route (unless you already have your LVN). If possible, why not just go straight into the BSN and then go into the MSN program. Also, according to the...

  3. Clinicals in Hospital

    MissJulie replied to mamayogibear's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    We had to have the CNA class before applying to RN, or LPN, school. We had to attend the same clinical site, which was an LTC, no choosing... Also, as far as the nursing school clinicals, we have...

  4. Subcutaneous SQ Injection in Buttocks?

    MissJulie replied to jdsp87's topic in General Nursing

    My Potter and Perry book reads that an alternative site for subcut can be the upper ventral or dorsal gluteal

  5. Surgical Tech Or Rn?? Help!

    MissJulie replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Nursing

    I have another opinion to share. Say you become a nurse and get to work in the OR, that would be great, but if for some reason you can't be on your feet for long periods of time (arthritis for...

  6. Help! How do I make it through Nursing school even though I hate it?!

    MissJulie replied to steven007's topic in General Students

    I'm currently in my first semester of an ADN program, but I already have my AS in Biology. Anyway, I'd have to say that I agree with the other posters. If you don't want to use your degree after...

  7. Med Errors

    MissJulie replied to UM Review RN's topic in Patient Medications

    I'm a student nurse, and reading this thread has blown my mind! Of course, I knew that med errors happen, and even my instructors have told us they've had errors and what they were, what they did,...

  8. Have you ever been told

    MissJulie replied to purple10's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse, yet, but I did get an odd comment about being in nursing school. My younger sister's friend, evidently, was to be a Physician Assistant, which is all well and good, but she's not...

  9. I'm just curious...

    MissJulie replied to MattiesMama's topic in General Nursing

    "Usually "techs" go through a specific vocational program from a few months to a couple of years in length for some specialties. They usually get a certificate or a diploma. Sometimes a medication...

  10. can you go from ADN to MSN?

    MissJulie replied to isabella200's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Depending on the type of MSN program you want to do, this could be very helpful: http://www.frontierschool.edu/academics/adn-msn-bridge It's with the Frontier Nursing School (the one started by Mary...

  11. ADN question

    MissJulie replied to Vidaone's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Usually it depends on the different classes taken. The biggest difference would probably be the number, and type, of science classes taken. For example, I already have my AS in Biology, and I took...

  12. Any one worried about a job after graduating?

    MissJulie replied to natalee123's topic in General Students

    Am I worried about getting a job after graduation? In a word, YES!!!!!!!!! But, I've decided to look at it this way, once I have my degree and licensure in my hands, so to speak, I'll be employable...

  13. One bad egg...

    MissJulie replied to OttawaRPN's topic in General Nursing

    We are told to NEVER wear a lab coat to clinical site! The one thing that is similar that we can wear is one of the scrub warm-up jackets in the matching shade of our clinical uniforms (royal blue...

  14. Here goes nothing

    MissJulie replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    We have to get the meds from the floor nurse, as neither the instructor nor the students have a password to the meds. Once we have the meds, we have to go throught the rights and checks of the meds....

  15. How many hours a week are you in class, lab or clinical?

    MissJulie replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    I'm a first semester nursing student, in an ADN program. We only have the fundamentals class this semester :) Anyway, I'm in lecutre 8 hrs a week, lab 5 hrs a week, and clinical 6 hrs a week. So,...

  16. What field of Nursing as a RN is the "BEST BANG" for the Tuition Buck!?

    MissJulie replied to Future-Male-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what area you live in, so this may, or may not, apply. Also, this may, or may not, be considered a specialty, although allnurses has it listed as one. Anyway, it's prison nursing. In...

  17. Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

    MissJulie replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

    Why must you got to the back of a rather large lecture hall and speak like you're trying to whisper in church? One of our instructors will put up the powerpoint (ours actually use theirs), and go to...

  18. Please tell me I'm not crazy...

    MissJulie replied to mrf0609's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I can share a little tidbit, even though I'm still in school :) In my area (Kentucky), LTC is the main employer of LPNs, as well as doctor's offices. Now, of course LTCs do employ RNs, but they...

  19. Thoughts on Christmas scrubs...Yea or no way?

    MissJulie replied to GoECU's topic in General Nursing

    We wear ours at work! But, then again, it's a casual office, and some of the girls just wear jeans year-round, so there you go! But, I have to agree with some of the other posters, don't wear them...

  20. I'm just curious...

    MissJulie replied to MattiesMama's topic in General Nursing

    Let me preface this by saying that I am currently working as a CNA and attending an ADN program to evetually attain my RN. As far as going on for a BSN, that is yet undecided at this point, it really...

  21. DO U HAVE......

    MissJulie replied to EILEEN456's topic in General Students

    For lecture, we have to dress "business casual." (No jeans, t-shirts, tank tops, tennis shoes, etc.) So, I basically alternate between a few pairs of khakis, dress pants, and blouses; thank goodness...

  22. Gabapentin?

    MissJulie replied to IaCountryGirl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If he's in chronic renal failure, could there possibly be a history of neurogenic

  23. Is this legal?

    MissJulie replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    We actually had to fill out something similar for our nursing school info packets (we did this at orientation). Is it legal? Really, I don't know. But, if you're willingly answering it, that probably...

  24. How did you decide to teach?

    MissJulie replied to MissJulie's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Just bumping this up on the list

  25. Male Chiropractor considering nursing...advice please :)

    MissJulie replied to NP/PA?'s topic in Nursing Career

    Maybe I'm mis-reading your post, hopefully I am, but here in Kentucky, PAs are far more important than an MA. Physician Assistants prescribe medications, order tests, work in ER, do rounds at...
