luv your nurse RN

Hi everyone, I have a common issue and wanted to get some advice from those who have made it past the interview process. I have an interview at my number one choice CRNA school tomorrow. TOMORROW. BUT- I am so nervous, I don't know how I am going to ...

just wanted to give an update: I was accepted to all the programs where I applied and interviewed, so I would say being yourself is exactly what one should do in preparation for interviews! I spoke from the heart. Good luck to all! LUN.

I thought it went alright, but i dont want to jinx myself so Ill give more details once I find out really how I did :)

thanks! Ill post how it went :)

I had the best day today! I took care of a pt post cath/stent placement -turned into a bleeding CAD- leading to cracked chest secondary to cardiac tamponade. I took over 6 hours after admission from OR to SICU. When I came in, this patient had a...

Don't worry, they only send envelopes to those who have incomplete applications, or those who need to provide supporting documents, most applicants don't hear back from the school until the 2nd or 3rd week in January for invites to the interviews. Go...

Noryn, Why would you advice someone to quit after one hard shift? And to go from ED to ICU because going to ED as a new grad is hard, well in my opinion going into ICU as a new grad is even more challenging! There were lessons to be learned here and...

Maric has the worse reputation in SD. If you have poor grades, then it may be your only choice, otherwise, you can go to SDSU for less then 15,000- earn a BSN and a great education.

Pain Pulse Pallor Paralysis Paresthesia Good luck on the case study.

Great question. I'm glad you asked so I can read all the responses too :) . I started in my SICU a year ago, after working there as a tech for a few years. Sadly, I had the whole unit testing me, making me prove myself, the techs ignored me, other...

I think im getting ripped off for laser hair removal. Im an RN and have a friend in the filed of hair removal who got me a "deal" but it sounded so expensive- 1500$ for removal of happy trail and bikini- does anyone know how this price compares, in...

Hi all, I don't write much on this forum, but I thought I could get a lot of interesting feedback here. I have two questions: The first one is does anyone know why a heart patient is at risk for A- fib post op, and how is this risk related to dehyd...

As you progress through nursing school you will develop a style that works for you. From my perspective the classes I took (pre-reqs) were just as challenging as nursing school (chemistry, anatomy, physiology) so since you already have good marks, yo...

"how would you like that order written?" ha! that Dr. is going to learn the hard way that you dont want to piss off your nurses.

good luck let us know how it goes!

Mine shut off at 75, and I was sooo worried. all my friends said they felt like they failed at 75, but i went home and looked up questions to see how I answered and I got so many wrong i was sure i couldnt have passed at 75, and I did so i guess wha...

I felt the same way..i still have the "what ifs" about graduate school. we all get nervous. as for reading start out doing as much as you want, after the first exam of each calss its pretty apeprant which professor expects you to read..versus refer t...

alright, so i was in the exact same boat a few years back. i had very little science background, i mean almost nothing, and the only boi class i did take in college i got a "c". well, i was determined to take anatomey with lab, microbiology with ab...

microbilogy ..5 general chemistry i(not intro)..7 general chemistry ii..6 biochemistry.............n/a.......................... a & p i......9.................. a & p ii.......9....................................... intro to nursing.....

I just transitioned from ICU Tech to Nurse Exetern and i am able to do a whole new world of things. These things include but are not limited to: Assessment on all 4 patients (on IMU floor), charting on all patients, medications on all of them, pyxi...

It is ironic that I come across this thread today, because of the interesting conversation I had with a fellow nurse/friend of mine. I am a senior is nursing school, and I was telling her that when I think of what a nurse is to me, it's that human b...

I am the exact same way, i now have all the lights on and my radio, and im waiting for my boyfriend to come home before i go anywhere dark in the house.. you and i both get scared easily...:)
