  1. Study to be A nurse without program

    2ndyearstudent replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    If you didn't understand Russian, buying a book that was only in Russian would not help you. The best thing you can do is start doing very well in the writing, math, and science courses you are in...

  2. Where do you put your stethoscope?

    2ndyearstudent replied to newbiepnp's topic in General Students

    Yeah. Pulling a stethoscope out of your pocket - along with everthing else in there and dumping it on the floor is real professional. The general rule is that your instructor has the last word. Even...

  4. Would high education background be a burden for employment?

    2ndyearstudent replied to sourapril's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have an engineering degree and always get asked the same question. When I interview for RN jobs, I'm sure that will continue. I answer them honestly and happily and it has never stood in the way of...

    2ndyearstudent replied to tmow86's topic in General Students

    Congratulations! Very often, family and friends NEVER understand. I am in my last semester of nursing school and my parents still don't know what freaking school I go to or when I graduate. I've been...

  8. Peri care vent

    2ndyearstudent replied to JDZ344's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  10. so, today my clinical instructor told me to "move it along" during med admin.

    2ndyearstudent replied to amianurseyet?'s topic in General Students

    By our third semester, we were expected to do our checks and give our meds in an appropriate amount of time. You can't move slow, you can't look rushed. Before that, I always got reprimanded for...

  13. Does CNA experience help new RN employment?

    2ndyearstudent replied to melc0305's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The crappier the facility you work at the truer this gets. My solution was to get experience at a horrid facility then get a hospital job as soon as I could. I know of one exception at my old nursing...

    2ndyearstudent replied to lmf2006's topic in General Students

  19. Anyone made career change from engineering to Nursing?

    2ndyearstudent replied to lmf2006's topic in General Students

  20. MALE NURSES

    2ndyearstudent replied to ugoboss's topic in General Students

    We sure is! Gender has not been an issue in any place I have worked or done clinical at. There were plenty of male nurses at my old LTC and there have been male RNs during every clinical rotation I've...

    2ndyearstudent replied to K nurse-one-day's topic in General Students

  24. vent thread

    2ndyearstudent replied to K nurse-one-day's topic in General Students

    2ndyearstudent replied to bigrigcowboy's topic in Male Nursing Students
