    no random drug testing

    NevadaFighter replied to modernhippie_'s topic in Nursing Career

    Also...one of my teachers said that MJ is like any controlled substance...if you have a script for it, you should be okay. I suppose that this would vary by the individual policy from the facility,...

    Fake nursing/CNA licenses or what?

    NevadaFighter replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Do their badges specifically say CNA? I know lots of people who work in Tech roles or "NA" roles that aren't certified in the least

    Principles of Chemistry Online RODP

    NevadaFighter replied to 42346_nurse_'s topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think you should give it a go. I am a firm believer in online classes (as someone who was once the complete opposite). Chances are that you going to be battling more than 2 difficult nursing...

    getting out of bed side

    NevadaFighter replied to goalienrse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You could work somewhere like in surgery or procedures where you wouldn't have to deal with most of that nonsense, plus have a relatively normal schedule. Case management is a possibility, but...

    CNA programs in the Bay Area (CA)

    NevadaFighter replied to gdavge2003's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    To my knowledge, CNAs typically don't have too much trouble finding a job. There are needed at practically every health care establishment and there is a high turnover rate. Any kind of experience...

    ATI testing is hard... help!

    NevadaFighter replied to NurseMatt88's topic in General Students

    I found that the ATI app helped immensely. I find that practicing the quizzes online is the best way to practice, but lately I've been looking at the book, too. And remember, barely passing is still...

    To go or not to go?

    NevadaFighter replied to kht124's topic in General Students

    Agree with all of the above! Once you start working there, I'm sure they will be more accommodating with your schedule. Trust me, good help is hard to

    End of clinical presents

    NevadaFighter replied to paratroopa's topic in General Students

    At one of my clinical rotations, my instructor bought a little snacky-snack for each department we visited and a card for each of the departments and then had all the students sign. I thought it was...

    Kinder pooping pants

    NevadaFighter replied to Gampopa's topic in School

    Possibly encopresis? We were just talking about this condition in my Peds class. I'm pretty sure that my cousin used to have this when he was little. He was always scared to have a BM because he...

    2013 SIUE Accelerated BSN application thread.

    NevadaFighter replied to letsrun's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I hope you heard something back. I applied to that program a couple of years ago...had all my information in, and heard absolutely nothing. Luckily, I had a back-up plan. I even tried to contact...

    Insight into Nursing Program at Olivet University

    NevadaFighter replied to nique281's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I didn't go to Olivet, but I am familiar with the area (grew up around there). You are probably not going to want to linger around the area longer than you have to, but you could have a completely...

    I want to go for LPN, but I don't know which school to go to. New York City

    Do you work as a CNA right now? Does your work offer any type of tuition

    Corrections/agency or Med Surg/staff?

    NevadaFighter replied to MrWarmHearted's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Personally, I would do the Med/Surg first. After you do Med/Surg for a year or so, you can work for just about any agency or doing travel nursing. The education you get during this year is going to...

    Applying for jobs while completing last semester?

    NevadaFighter replied to Misseslloyd's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm on the same boat. Personally, I have been calling up all the different hospitals that I am interested in working at to see 1.) if they hire new grads and 2.) when can I apply? I have only...

    Refresher course for getting RN?

    NevadaFighter replied to chutley76's topic in General Students

    Figure out what school you want to go to and find out what their requirements are for getting in...this may take some legwork, as (in my experience) many schools will not tell you outright about the...

    Vehicle for a Travel Nurse?

    NevadaFighter replied to ImKosher's topic in Travel

    I'm not yet a travel nurse, but when I researching vehicles, I had travel in mind. I got a Chevy HHR. I've had it 3 1/2 years and have had no issues with it (knock on wood). It gets about 30 mpg...

    ATI Adult Health

    NevadaFighter replied to RM27's topic in General Students

    I pretty much have only used the practice exams to study for the ATIs and spent very little time reading the ATI books. I know some people really like the books because it has a more concise version...

    what kind of assignments are given in nursing school?

    NevadaFighter replied to gxrod's topic in General Students

    Lots of busy work! We get assigned case studies, drug cards, flash cards, process recordings, various worksheets, and LOTS of care plans. Care plans were probably the most time consuming, out of all...

    getting so frustrated!

    NevadaFighter replied to freckles23's topic in General Students

    I would read everything and put extra emphasis on whatever your teacher covered in class. I'm a big "highlighter" during class. Most of the times, the teachers will go over exactly what is in the...

    NevadaFighter replied to goingback's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    We have been using Evolve's HESI Case Studies in our classes. I think they have been quite helpful. We are usually assigned them before we come to class and we can keep retaking them until we get a...
