  1. I just graduated yesterday, waiting for my ATT to arrive and I wanted to share something with the people who visit this site that I enjoy reading so much. I've made note cards from the 2 day book review we were made to sit through from elsevier. ...
  2. Fantastic and good for her! I wonder how her legal action was funded. Did her lawyer or legal team offer to do the work and get paid out of a settlement or did she have to muster up the money herself. Was there a union involved to cover the fees?
  3. Not doing well in nursing school?

    it's normal, go through my pre-req's with a GPA of 3.9, the first semester of the nursing program dropped me to a 3.4, and I went from barely having to touch my books to reading chapters multiple times. Nursing grading vs everywhere else is a contrib...
  4. Reality shock

    This is VERY rudimentary, but it's great for guiding yourself with the very basic essentials on the floor with multiple patients. I made it so you can fold it and keep it in your pocket and reference quickly. Used it for my clinicals then transitio...

  7. Pearsonvue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 3

    Finished in 55min with 75 questions PVT shows my results are on hold :-( 1/4 sata, no order or calc questions. I think I passed, read somewhere that if you finish "too fast" that results will be reviewed manually so guess I'll have to be patient till...
  8. Maybe I'm just ignorant, and this may be an ongoing trend; however, it seems pretty skinflint-ish. They blamed the decision on the fact that B&G had to remove the wipes (which are not flushable) from the system a small #of times. I may be ignoran...
  9. Job outlook 2013 and beyond

    The amount of Nursing Diploma Mills is staggering. Make certain the program you're going to attend is properly licenced (NLNAC is the important one in my area) and Make sure that the program you're going to attend has their clinicals in a good hospi...
  10. I was on the floor this week in clinical, we had a Pt. who had a left total hip done 2 days prior. Apparently on this floor, the surgeon has historically done the first dressing change, the surgeon who did this one is new to the hospital and wanted ...

  13. In my experience in both having LPN students assigned to me at work, and being a RN student in clinicals currently, it seems Nurses I'm attached to enjoy having someone take a patient "off their list" for 6 hours more than taking an active role in my...
  14. Waitressing as a pre-req?

    oooooooh! if only!
  15. I could really use some guidance as to what to focus on for the A2. The program I'm applying to has it in their head that student's A2 chemistry results are a direct correlation to their ability to succeed in the ADN program. I bought the stupid s...
  16. Confused new grad, any advice is appreciated!

    If by Mayo you are in the Rochester, MN area you do have the option of going to WSU and get your BSN within a year. Take whatever job related to nursing you can now, then after getting your BSN you're considered a "new grad" again I suppose if that...

  24. i'm in mn, recent graduate, hired on the floor i did my intern hours on. i have worked as a cna for a few years there as well and was hired in a acute care floor, but i think the nurses i interned with went to bat for me so that's why i got the job
  25. I would imagine the hospital building does, my issue is not the general usage of wash-cloths. It is using the same cloths on both the face and the peri-area, AND not having a separate washing machine for BM soiled cloths, AND not having bleach av...
