  1. opinions about epidurals

    hospitalstaph replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh so sad that you haven't witnessed a momma walking:( With my last there was a student nurse on the floor that walked and walked with me. She was so sweet and knew just when to be quiet and let me...

  2. Transfer of Edukann A&P Credit

    hospitalstaph replied to MNRN22's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Darn all these schools that are soooo different. Mine will not accept on-line science courses but will accept a 16 week combined A&P.

  3. I have a question for all of you pre-nursing students

    hospitalstaph replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh the early morning thing...yeah I get up at 4:15 AM on clinical days. I need to be there by 5:45 AM. And in that short time from 4:15 until 5:45 I have to get myself ready and review all of my...

  4. I have a question for all of you pre-nursing students

    hospitalstaph replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    the computer class may not be a pre-req but it may be a co-req. i took all of my pre and co-reqs before starting the program and it has made it much easier. didn't they give you a list of the...

  5. I have a question for all of you pre-nursing students

    hospitalstaph replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is Intro to Computers required for your degree? If so, you will need it anyway so why not take it now. And you would be surprised how computer knowledge can come in very handy.

  6. Are You Happy ?

    hospitalstaph replied to buildingmyfaith57's topic in General Nursing

    For me I feel happiest when I am doing something that I love, that also helps others. Sometimes that means sitting at Barnes and Noble for an hour by myself so that I am more cheerful at home:)

  7. wanna be a crna, i think !

    hospitalstaph replied to wannabcrna06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You would probably get a lot more information by posting in the CRNA forum. I think you will need your BSN and 2 years of critical care experience to apply to a CRNA program. BTW, posting in all caps...

  8. Tech school vs. Community College

    hospitalstaph replied to RN2bemommyof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Kimberly, Also make sure to check if your tech school ADN is allowed for RN-BSN programs. You may not be thinking about a BSN now, but if you do in the future you want to make sure that your classes...

  9. Tech school vs. Community College

    hospitalstaph replied to RN2bemommyof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is that an ADN/ASN in 15 months with pre-reqs and co-reqs???? Is so that is going to be VERY condensed. The shortest ADN program I have heard of is 18 months of clinicals. But of course the...

  10. Hi everyone!

    hospitalstaph replied to AZChick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sometimes it just takes longer to figure out what you want to be when you grow

  11. Why SHOULDN'T one smoke in Amsterdam?

    hospitalstaph replied to Busy20yo's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! If that were the case 75% of my class would not have been accepted.

  12. Pay at Children's Mercy Hospital

    hospitalstaph replied to BROOK9960's topic in General Nursing

    I think that Children's Mercy is an all RN

  13. How long for Rn program with prerequisites included?

    hospitalstaph replied to jlhalloween's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    By the time I am done it will have taken me 3 1/2 years to get my ADN. The ADN program that I am in is accelerated, so the actual nursing course/clinical portion is 18 months, but I have also...

  14. opinions about epidurals

    hospitalstaph replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, I guess that I just felt more in control. I loved being able to walk around while I labored and found it to be soooo much easier than lying in bed. It was a 22 hour labor and I can honestly...

  15. opinions about epidurals

    hospitalstaph replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In many respects I agree with the above post. There are risks involved. Most of the time there are no problems, but sometimes there are. Of three births, I had an epidural with two. The "all...

  16. How much autonomy do nurses have??

    hospitalstaph replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    James, Wow I would be confused too with that description! In Fundamentals, yes we do learn changing linens, giving baths, and basic hygiene care of clients. But we also learn injections, diagnostic...

  17. Shoes

    hospitalstaph replied to DDSS2000's topic in General Nursing

    I love my Shox! Although I have to admit the longest that I have worked in them is 6 hours:)

  18. Practice during nursing school?

    hospitalstaph replied to MA2006's topic in General Nursing

    I cannot even begin to imagine why some would practice a foley on a family member at home??? IV sure maybe, but not a foley:lol2: And no, we were not given supplies for this.

  19. Question about RN programs

    hospitalstaph replied to jlhalloween's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends on where you live. I would guess that most have either a wait list or competative admissions. We have three ADN programs in my area, two have wait lists (one being 2 years right...

  20. Hello!

    hospitalstaph replied to RN08mw's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that you will be surprised to find that doing something in the capacity of helping a pt. seems to override those phobias, fears, vomit-reflexes, etc. Some of the things that we do in clinical...

  21. RN one class at a time, but what about now?

    hospitalstaph replied to career#3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry just wanted to clairify you *may* be able to take your co-reqs and pre-reqs one at a time. I am in an RN program so I am not exactly sure how an LPN program works, but I do know that they have...

  22. RN one class at a time, but what about now?

    hospitalstaph replied to career#3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I read your post correctly you want to complete your LPN one class at a time? I don't think that's possible. You will have clinicals with an LPN program to. You can take co-reqs and pre-reqs one...

  23. Threat of needle sticks!!

    hospitalstaph replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion, you should not persue nursing. If you are unwilling to clean poop, trachs, vomit, etc, then you have no business being a nurse. I know that many, many people think that this part of...

  24. Drug Testing At Hospitals

    hospitalstaph replied to crazylilkelly's topic in General Nursing

    Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that credit checks are only done if you will be working in a position that involves handling money.

  25. Are They Jealous?

    hospitalstaph replied to pa0723's topic in General Nursing

    Don't worry! Kill 'em with kindness, respect, and lots of questions:)
