  1. Weeding out?

    rumwynnieRN replied to wantccu's topic in General Students

    I think that depends on the school (I think someone else said that on the first page). Now that I'm about to graduate, I think our second to last semester is the one that kills people. At our school,...

  2. Dear new grad...

    rumwynnieRN replied to smurfynursey's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When you do your clinicals, this is entirely dependent on how you feel, you tend to do more, you get more skills in, and you find out your nurses may only have 2 patients he/she is responsible for. My...

  3. PVAMU Prospective Students (Spring 2013)

    rumwynnieRN replied to dream_on27's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks. You'll get there in 2 1/2 years too:) The uniforms are overpriced. I really don't understand why they make you buy a total of three uniforms. You wear the white one for semesters 1, 2 and 4, a...

  4. Dear new grad...

    rumwynnieRN replied to smurfynursey's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    People think I'm weird when I say I want to work MedSurg before going to ICU. A lot of nurses have told me "no no, go to ICU first! You want to work there anyway! You'll burn out on the floor." I...

  5. PVAMU Prospective Students (Spring 2013)

    rumwynnieRN replied to dream_on27's topic in Texas Nursing

    You pay for parking, and we share the garage with the UT med school across the street, and also with kindred next door. It's more than enough, and yes, it's first come, first serve. You can get the...

  6. New Grad Residency Program in Houston TMC- January 2013

    rumwynnieRN replied to ExhaustedNurse's topic in Texas Nursing

    For MD Anderson, 3 of my classmates got

  7. PVAMU Prospective Students (Spring 2013)

    rumwynnieRN replied to dream_on27's topic in Texas Nursing

    I graduate next week (this was the longest 2 1/2 years). Semester 1 instructors are ******* and ******* for theory, and clinical instructors are ******, I think *****also teaches, and some other...

  8. Hesi: I Feel Like I Need a Miracle..

    rumwynnieRN replied to Soliloquy's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    My school does the same thing -- we need to have a 900 to pass. I had the same anxieties you have, and whatever I used at first, I always got an estimated score of 700, or something below 800. It...

  9. Orienting woes!

    rumwynnieRN replied to KeechieSan's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've been on the opposite end of this. I was the student who the nurses were afraid of. Yes I know, the difference is student, not new grad, but I may have inkling about how she feels and how she...

  10. im selfish? hmmm

    rumwynnieRN replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    HAHAHA, I know who you're talking about! That doctor is in the city I live in. Whenever my cousin saw the commercial and how he "would treat you like family," she said, "So you'll beat us?" Anyway,...

  11. Immunizations & nursing school

    rumwynnieRN replied to determined09's topic in General Nursing

    I think the previous replies are sufficient. The whole point of universal precautions and vaccines is to prevent the spread of disease. No, these measures do not eradicate diseases, but they greatly...

  12. Who wears a nursing cap?

    rumwynnieRN replied to raincitynurse's topic in General Nursing

    There was an article about this topic. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/741581?src=top10 There's another related article about a hospital in Alabama or Georgia (I forget -- it was some hospital in...

  13. If you could do it all over again, would you choose nursing as your career?

    rumwynnieRN replied to jordanl's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it would depend on where you become a hotel desk clerk; I got just as much verbal abuse as other people who complain on this site over total misunderstandings, seemingly trivial things...

  14. WOW! The public really doesn't like us, huh?

    rumwynnieRN replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    True that comments in a blog don't have much weight; certain websites attract certain types of people, and there's always that one person who has to stir things up on a forum. Unfortunately, online...

  15. WOW! The public really doesn't like us, huh?

    rumwynnieRN replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    After working in a hotel for a year, I figured out that customer service goes both ways; we're offering you a service and you're offering to pay for said services. If you're that difficult, business...

  16. Am I a victim of discrimination or being too sensitive?

    rumwynnieRN replied to TheFloorisCold's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like she's taking out frustrations with them out on you. If they're only doing this during break and not on the floor, I don't see the problem, but as to whether or not it's discrimination...

  17. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    rumwynnieRN replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have a classmate who says "petechiae" as "pet-ee-chay." I tried correcting her, but she was like, "but I say 'pet-ee-chay.'" I've also heard people say, "Okay, now you're going to palpitate for..."...

  18. Research and placing "RN" after name when not an RN

    rumwynnieRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    What are the roles of nurses and research assistants when doing research? What happens when someone who is not an RN in that country has a BSN from another country places "RN" after his/her name? I'm...

  19. Research and placing "RN" after name when not an RN

    rumwynnieRN replied to rumwynnieRN's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds weird, but initially I was bored. I've googled family members just to see what pops up, and when I saw that, I thought, "Uh...so...she did?" It peaked my curiosity, and at this point, I'm...

  20. Research and placing "RN" after name when not an RN

    rumwynnieRN replied to rumwynnieRN's topic in General Nursing

    At the end of whatever journal article, her name is listed as a "thank you" for contributing to

  21. Where did you hear that?

    rumwynnieRN replied to SpEdtacular's topic in General Nursing

    My first semester, we were doing clinicals at this long term acute care facility, and this lady told my friend, "I heard your chances of getting diabetes goes up when you have geriatric pregnancies."...

  22. TWU vs UTh

    rumwynnieRN replied to RadioSue29's topic in Texas Nursing

    PV has a garage, and we share with UT's Med Students. The price for parking depends on when you buy it; we pay around $144 (or something like that around August) for the year which is $12/mo (rather...

  23. TWU vs UTh

    rumwynnieRN replied to RadioSue29's topic in Texas Nursing

    Prairie View's CON is across the street from UTHSC's Medical School on Fannin -- not quite downtown yet, and the Metro Rail goes down the middle. It's down the street from TWU and caddy corner-ish to...

  24. TWU vs UTh

    rumwynnieRN replied to RadioSue29's topic in Texas Nursing

    I go to Prairie View now (I don't know if you read the previous posts); we were told at UH to keep our GPAs high and being able to apply required at least a 3.0 (for both UT and TWU, PV was a 2.75...

  25. TWU vs UTh

    rumwynnieRN replied to RadioSue29's topic in Texas Nursing

    It's been a while since I applied to TWU and UT -- +2 years; unless they specifically say they look at anything else, they'll only look at your GPA and coursework. It's great to be involved with...
