  1. 5 days with days/evening switch is nuts!

    TNLisa replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    I've never understood this. If airline flight attendants (not to mention the pilots) are "illegal" to fly if they don't have a certain number of hours off before the next flight, how can nurses be...

  2. The ethics and laws associated with keeping a personal diary

    TNLisa replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in General Nursing

    This is an interesting topic! In a legal lab, we WERE advised by a nurse-turned-attorney to keep a personal journal. In it, we could write down details of any event that may in the future cause...

  3. Hessi Exam

    TNLisa replied to JaimeC's topic in General Students

    I did well on my HESI for Pathophysiology, but despised the test questions! The ones I got wrong, I misunderstood what they were after once I read the correct answer and rationale. I bet the acronym...

  4. What are they looking for??

    TNLisa posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had an interview recently that left me wondering. I was asked if I to describe a situation where I witnessed someone breaking policy or not following rules and how I handled it. I sputtered a...

  5. What are they looking for??

    TNLisa replied to TNLisa's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! The hypothetical situation is a good idea, even if they ask for a personal. I agree, Orange Tree, that personal examples are too complicated. I think that is why I was choking about how to...

  6. Internships before licensure

    TNLisa posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would like to work as an intern in a hospital as I finish my nursing school education. I see it as a way to supplement my clinical experience, boost my confidence, learn how a particular unit...

    Thanks

  8. Nursing Students- Were Any of You "B" Students- and Still Got Accepted?

    TNLisa replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Students

    Every school is different. At mine, there are a certain number of spots held for male applicants, and other preferred populations. These students may enter with lower scores than others in the...

  9. Which of these electives will be most helpful for nursing?

    TNLisa replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    I agree with Gumby. My program requires both Pharm and Patho, but not Medical Terminology. I took it when I was trying to get into the Radiography program and it has helped a lot! Another one I...

  10. Which of these electives will be most helpful for nursing?

    TNLisa replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    I'd take Medical Terminology for sure (I did it online and was easy!) and Patho, if it isn't one of your required nursing

  11. Pharm class.

    TNLisa replied to HCollier's topic in General Students

    We had to take Pharm as a 4 week summer course! Totally killer. I counted it up and we went over 253 meds. Over half the class (of 90ish) did not pass. I made it through with a B, but I can't say...

  12. A patient made me cry.....

    TNLisa replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    It is the quality care you provided that makes me want to be a nurse! Thank you for being there in the name of everyone's

  13. Coronary vs cardiac... silly ?

    TNLisa replied to TNLisa's topic in Cardiac

    Thanks for the help. The hospital does have a cardiac cath lab, so maybe that is exactly what coronary intermediate means. Based on this, I'm assuming that the patients are sicker on the cardiac...

  14. Coronary vs cardiac... silly ?

    TNLisa posted a topic in Cardiac

    I'm sure this is a silly question, but what is the difference between a coronary intermediate unit and a cardiac intermediate unit? What kind of patients are care for in each? I am a nursing student...
