  1. Tips for nurses in their first year of nursing

    LouisianaNurse2006 replied to Brian's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Great info for a student nurse.

  2. What Did You Think Of Nursing School?

    LouisianaNurse2006 replied to rayofsunshine's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I found nursing school more like physiology than any other class I had taken before. Physiology only different.... more like a mixture of physiology with hands on

  3. What's so great about the day shift?

    LouisianaNurse2006 replied to lizzieB05's topic in First Year After Licensure

    For those of you that work nights, do you have any tips/tricks for staying up all night?? I just don't know if I could do

  4. Why so many quit during first year?

    LouisianaNurse2006 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yesterday I ran into a friend of a student that graduated last May (2004), and this mutual friend told me that the one supposedly landed a "dream job" in nursing the year before had already quit and...

  5. Do you have someone to talk to about your work at home?

    LouisianaNurse2006 replied to enfermeria's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know where you are coming from.... I'm usually jabbering along about something "nursey" from school or clinicals when I realize my hubby has not heard a word of it, and I just shut up. I just come...

  6. Weeding out of nursing students

    LouisianaNurse2006 replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

    Personally I don't think it is the "nature of the material" or "difficulty of the courses" at all. In fact, there is no single item that you have to study and learn concerning nursing that is...

  7. Just curious - Age 35+ make it hard to find job?

    LouisianaNurse2006 replied to DanaS's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I totally agree.... however, I was encouraging and answering the original posters concerns. I mentioned "the one that makes the best impression, regardless of age", so don't worry, I would never...

  8. Need Wise advice ...

    LouisianaNurse2006 replied to earthlovers123's topic in General Nursing

    First off... why do you care and what business is it of yours?? (just curious), and secondly, if she's an RN she can't be all that stupid.... my guess is that she has a reason.... or she'd be...

  9. How much studying in a day???

    LouisianaNurse2006 replied to Nathalie's topic in General Students

    When I got into the Nursing Program I gave up TV at night and used that time for studying. So I usually got supper over early and went to my room around 7:00 and studied until about 10:00. Then on...

  10. Just curious - Age 35+ make it hard to find job?

    LouisianaNurse2006 replied to DanaS's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You've got to be kidding #1) you are not even middle age yet, you ARE one of the young ones, and #2) who would you hire, the giggly little fresh faced student type, or the mature, serious minded,...

  11. Did You Get A Sign On Bonus?

    LouisianaNurse2006 replied to TLC RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would think it would be hard to compare, because if you are offered a sign on bonus, maybe the pay may be a little less, or vise versa. A large sign on bonus is tempting, but like the others said,...

  12. Organization sheets and Incompetence?

    LouisianaNurse2006 replied to shape0fmyheart's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Probably no one elses organization would work for you, you need to make your own because everyone is different. Last semester in clinicals I had the same problem, so I sat down at my computer one...

  13. Why so many quit during first year?

    LouisianaNurse2006 replied to LouisianaNurse2006's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi Kathryn, I am not far from you, I live near Opelousas, La, and go to school at LSUE. I have made it through 2 semester in the nursing program and have 2 left, so if everything goes well, I should...

  14. In a lot of pain!

    LouisianaNurse2006 replied to SherBearRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Maybe if you have enough background/experience you could try to get a telemetry job or case management, or even in ICU there is not as much walking because you usually have only one or two patients....

  15. Got last question wrong!!!!!!!!!!!

    LouisianaNurse2006 replied to LPN hopeful's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is interesting.... if the questions are getting easier, then it means I am getting them wrong, but if I am getting them right they get harder and turn off after I get enough right to pass? So...

  16. Beginning RN Salary in Louisiana

    LouisianaNurse2006 replied to LouisianaNurse2006's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I don't know about specific amounts, but I have heard that along with the New Orleans area, Shreveport is very good as compared with other Louisiana Cities. Of course all of your larger metropolitan...

  17. Lsue

    LouisianaNurse2006 posted a topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Hello everyone, It is nice to have a forum specifically for Louisiana Nurses and Nursing Students. I was recently accepted into the Fall 2004 Nursing Program at LSUE. I have completed all other...

  18. Lsue

    LouisianaNurse2006 replied to LouisianaNurse2006's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I am sure your right about the 3.2 if Ms Debeche told you that, I was just going by what I've hear from other students sharing their GPAs and 3.4 was the lowest anyone knew about, but not all students...

  19. Lsue

    LouisianaNurse2006 replied to LouisianaNurse2006's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Hate to hear that you didn't get in at LSUE, they only accept 60 students once a year, so it is hard to get in. Also, if you don't make it thru a semester you have to wait a whole year to take that...

  20. Lsue

    LouisianaNurse2006 replied to LouisianaNurse2006's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Welcome Sue, I hope you make it into the nursing program at LSUE. Last spring there were over 140 applicants and the top 60 GPAs were accepted. Good Luck,

  21. Lsue

    LouisianaNurse2006 replied to LouisianaNurse2006's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    LSUE only offers the ASN RN degree, but I do believe you can transfer from LSUE to UL or LSU (Lafayette or Baton Rouge), and use your credits to continue with your education. Once you have your RN...

  22. Med-Surg BEFORE Peds??

    LouisianaNurse2006 posted a topic in Pediatric

    Hi everyone, Here is a question that may have been asked before, but I could not find it doing a search of the site. I am a nursing student and am leaning very heavily toward pediatrics after I...

  23. Bad incident while giving Rocephin shot; need advice

    LouisianaNurse2006 replied to NurseCard's topic in Pediatric

    I'm only a student, but the very few mistakes I can identify, are 1)not correcting the medication when the 2nd nurse brought it to her attention, 2) even considering asking another nurse to administer...

  24. Working while in school?

    LouisianaNurse2006 replied to Magnus's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    You'll never know for sure until you try. I wouldn't be able to do it, but if you have no children/spouse to take time with, and you don't have to cook or clean, and you are very motivated to keep...

  25. Drug Cards

    LouisianaNurse2006 posted a topic in General Students

    We can't use the pre-made drug cards, so to get a head start on making my drug cards, I am looking for a website with a list of the top 20 drugs taken by patients. We can re-use the drug cards we make...
