  1. Officially freaking out now!

    studentgolfer replied to nursemomma11's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Congrats -- What test are we speaking about? Edit: I googled it....good luck. From the sound of it, it's a scam! Don't forget

  2. Answer this question please...

    studentgolfer replied to forgop's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The question did not mention birth control I don't know where you got that from. The vaccine is always the best answer and as you cannot expect the adolescent to listen to you-a stranger-about sexual...

  3. Bad Decision -- Huge Amount of Debt, Need Advice

    studentgolfer replied to cogath's topic in General Nursing

    I know a girl who went to St. Catherine's for 6 years to get her BSN (she switched from a major with zero science after two years) Sooo 6 years at $30,000 a year.... paying back your debt will be a...

  4. What to do after ADN program?

    studentgolfer replied to student1234567's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Also I didn't see Moogie mention it (sorry if he did) but to get accepted to CRNA Programs you need to have an extremely competitive GPA, as well as MANDATORY acute care experience to even be...

  5. Which is better, a B- or a W?

    studentgolfer replied to prime11214's topic in General Students

    Yea GPA's go up hard and come down easy. But I agree, getting a B is totally acceptable for this class (that you didn't like.) This B can be explained (if it even has to be) by lack of interest in...

  6. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    studentgolfer replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    You start your shift at meal time, did you think about that? I'm not saying it's one departments fault, you need to look at it from both sides. So the patients we already have on the floor should...

  7. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    studentgolfer replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    It seems to be a general consensus that ED is the only Dept. that is busy. A nurse has every professional right to refuse report/refuse to care for a patient if they feel the pt. is out of their...

  8. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    studentgolfer replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    You cannot deny that some specialties are "easier" than others. The same can be said for floors in a hospital. I am a new nursing student but I have 4+ years of CNA experience (all in med/surg)....

  9. How to survive 1st year of nursing school

    studentgolfer replied to lemidora's topic in General Students

    Of course I'm not superwoman... I'm

  10. My standards have SLIPPED (understatement)

    studentgolfer replied to EarthhAngel2013's topic in General Students

    So you didn't pass your first semester? Not being mean; you just didn't state it :). I also have ~3.5 going into NS and I feel [over]confident. I don't want a wake up call though so posts like this...

  11. I need some advice/help to securing a nurse's aide position in the hospital.

    studentgolfer replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    If you are annoying them they need to find another job. You are EXPECTED to follow up on your job applications/interviews. Send thank you e-mails for any and all interviews or face to face...

  12. Will I be shunned?

    studentgolfer posted a topic in General Students

    So I've always been a solo flyer when it comes to studying and I'm wondering if I do not act as "part of the group" if I will be asking for trouble. I was just accepted to an ADN-RN program. Clearly...

  13. How far did you get...?

    studentgolfer replied to Marie1205's topic in General Nursing

    As a staff nurse the only difference between an ADN and a BSN is $0.25/hour, this is at least true at the hospital I work at and it is a major healthcare system. I don't see how it would be at all...

  14. "I didn't want to go into nursing because I didn't want to be labled gay"

    studentgolfer replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Men in Nursing

    I am a male, and starting NS. I'm gay sometimes, but other times I am sad. I don't really understand why your friend wouldn't want to be gay. Gay nurses are better for patients than upset

  15. Advice for nursing assistant in hospital?

    studentgolfer replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've been on med/surg telemetry for 4+ years as a CNA, and let me tell you-you probably won't have any downtime. If there is any go and ask your patients if they need to use the bathroom or if they...

  16. "if I could give you any advice" New RN wants advice!

    studentgolfer replied to jitterbugg's topic in General Nursing

    I just got into NS, but I have been a CNA in med/surg telemetry for 4+ years, but I have to really agree with this. TREAT YOUR CNA'S like your colleagues and you will be rewarded. Not to toot my...

  17. I need some advice/help to securing a nurse's aide position in the hospital.

    studentgolfer replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    Do you think it could ever hurt to inquire about the status of your application? I don't know why people think they cannot call the place that they have applied or interviewed at and ask if they need...

  18. Confused on which major to declare. Please help?

    studentgolfer replied to tdhuy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Really it makes no difference what you get as your major. I believe the number one admitted major to Medical schools are Engineers every year. (Possibly because they are simply the smartest) Schools...

  19. Will I be shunned?

    studentgolfer replied to studentgolfer's topic in General Students

    Thanks everyone for your replies, I figured it would be like anything else in life and would be better if I went into it with an open mind :). I too find that study groups move too slow for my liking...

  20. Scared Crapless

    studentgolfer replied to jweb's topic in General Students

    What kind of program are you in? You find out you failed your FIRST test and 6 DAYS LATER is the

  21. BSN vs CNA in long term care

    studentgolfer replied to Kep23's topic in General Students

    With a BSN, you could virtually run many LTC's. Think about it, all the things that didn't "work" before you could have the power to change. I agree with others, with your RN you can make an even...

  22. Married Male Nursing Students

    studentgolfer replied to exit96's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I just got accepted and I'm not married, but we've been together 5 years and up until now she's been pretty good with everything. I am curious to see how she does now that it's the real deal. Where...

  23. Just Accepted - Too Excited

    studentgolfer posted a topic in General Students

    Hey all so I thought I would join the forum because I was just accepted into an ADN-RN program. I look forward to using this forum a lot during school! I'm sure this question gets asked a lot, and...
