  1. Are there cliques in your nursing program?

    P B and J replied to live&love&heal's topic in General Students

    If you don't want to keep in touch, don't. It's simple. However, your classmates may be good for networking, and could pass along job openings or whatnot, so I personally wouldn't completely cut...

  2. Is 31 too old to start a nursing career?

    P B and J replied to dannygurl84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Man I sure hope not, or I'm wasting my time and money! And it's too late now, I'm almost

  3. Really, this is the dumbest question ever, but...

    P B and J replied to SarahIN's topic in General Students

    At the last hospital I had clinicals at, one of the nurses told a fellow student "if in doubt, pull the call light cord out of the wall, that will get you help in a hurry"... I'm not exactly sure what...

  4. For Those Who Are Accepted...

    P B and J replied to KareBear0609's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Go out to dinner with hubby and enjoy your time until school starts, after you start school, those moments you share with family and friends will be few and far between! Good

  5. Stopping IV infusions

    P B and J replied to Ciale's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've never given a patient a choice, no matter what was infusing. "you need to use the restroom? Sure, I'll unplug the pump and bring it for

  6. 2012-2013 HRSA Nursing Scholarship Application

    P B and J replied to MarkTX's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "Bad" credit definitely does not bar you from receiving the scholarship! I was chosen and didn't know until after my credit was checked that I had been the victim of "mis-identification"... I say that...

  7. Help with BIG careplan!

    P B and J replied to futurern4's topic in General Students

    I can help with the aeb. Your evidence is the objective and subjective data from your assessment, the chart, lab results etc. that point to your diagnosis. For example: Ineffective airway clearance...

  8. as a prenursing student, do video games and studying mix or bad idea?

    P B and J replied to ThePhilster's topic in General Students

    From one gamer to another, you CAN play and go to school... Just use gaming to reward yourself. I don't play on weeknights (and I try to NOT watch DH when he's playing either lol), but on the...

  9. Your first semester/quarter grades

    P B and J replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    We have to have 84% minimum to pass... 83.99% = taking the quarter over A- in Clinicals A- in Assessment A in Lab B+ in Fundamentals Not getting straight A's hurts, it's a learning curve when you...

  10. Yay!! Passed semester 1 (Fundamentals) but....

    P B and J replied to P B and J's topic in General Students

    She had us take the exam from the last cohort... it was more difficult. The content was the same, but the wording was more confusing. She said it would be different, they have changed books and...

  11. Stethoscope cover - the fabric ones....

    P B and J replied to punkydoodlesRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm sure someone will come through with a better answer, but I've always thought fabric covers were a no-no because they are a fantastic breeding ground for

  12. Feeling totally dejected

    P B and J replied to littlerayofsunshine's topic in General Students

    I had one of those days today as well, but we're only a few weeks in. Busted my butt on an assignment, thought I had done well, and covered everything as much as possible, and got less than 1/2 the...

  13. A&P and Animals?

    P B and J replied to jeaniekadinee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We had pigs for my A&P class. I was nervous, and wasn't sure I could do it, but I'm glad I did, we learned so much! There was one girl who would either not show up for lab those days, or she...

  14. I'm an Idiot....

    P B and J replied to ChristineN's topic in General Nursing

    Get it taken care of, explain how sorry you are and that you didn't realize, etc. and then enjoy your unexpected weekend

  15. HEALTH INSURANCE?

    P B and J replied to Jmiami's topic in General Students

    Our school requires insurance, if you don't already have it, you must get it on your own. But they also gave anyone who inquired a site to buy a student plan pretty reasonably (I think it's about $50...

  16. Bad Experience with Nurses at hospital, rethinking my major now.

    P B and J replied to Lindsey-Student's topic in General Nursing

    Rather than letting this awful experience deter you from your passion, let it fuel it... Be the best nurse you can be. Be the nurse that is compassionate to a patient in need. Be the nurse that...

  17. nursing school - the cost on a child

    P B and J replied to hsienko's topic in General Students

    Sorry but this statement is incredibly rude, hurtful, and completely unhelpful to this topic. Until we are in someone's shoes, we can never know what someone is dealing with, or how we would cope in...

  18. Communication....any other new nursing students stumbling over their words?

    P B and J replied to JKindRN's topic in General Students

    We are always more critical of ourselves than others. I'm willing to bet your classmates weren't as comfortable and confident as you think they were, and I'm also betting they didn't watch you and...

  19. Quite a few c/o sore arm post pneumo vaccine

    P B and J replied to newtress's topic in Patient Medications

  20. When a nursing home shuts down.

    P B and J replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Call your unemployment office and ask. Here in MI you are not obligated to accept an offer if it is more than 50 miles driving. If you decline an offer more than 50 miles away they don't deny...

  21. Nursing Program to transfer to from Baker College?

    P B and J replied to holdmeparamount's topic in Michigan Nursing

    For sure! I was told the average score on the Kaplan was low-mid 70's, and 80's are rare. If you got more than 75-ish%, you should be in good shape. Also, don't forget that even if you didn't make it...

  22. Baker College acceptance letters???

    P B and J replied to NoAverageLPN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    That's awful! I would be very upset as well, they need to get organized asap. So
