  1. What would the IV rate be...?

    Leafhouse replied to nashgirl516's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You're correct with 17ml/hr. You're over thinking it which is so easy to do with med math. "Every 6 hours" is pretty much the same as "over 6 hours." Just like you, I dont like the wording "every" if...

  5. UNLV is doubling fees for their nursing progrm only!

    Leafhouse replied to geocachingRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think they're doing this because nursing is the most expensive program/major for a school to fund. At least that's the case for the California State University

  6. Anyone know how to get a job as a patient sitter?

    Leafhouse replied to cslomko2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At the hospital I work at in Southern California, sitters are CNAs. You're either assigned to work the floor or you work as a sitter but you don't find out until you arrive for your

  7. Salary to expect as a new grad nurse

    Leafhouse replied to ashfost's topic in First Year After Licensure

  8. The reverse end of "my preceptor hates me"

    Leafhouse replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    One of the first things my instructor told us our first semester of nursing school is that we are pretty much the bottom of the food chain. I would rarely even sit at a chair that was occupied by...

  9. Really want to be a nurse but....I may have a problem :(

    Leafhouse replied to augajaro's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I fainted once my first semester during clinical during a dressing change. I was more embarrassed than worried if this would effect my ability to be a nurse. I nearly fainted twice during my L&D...

  10. Double staffed for a shift and sent home for their mistake

    Leafhouse replied to happynhealthy's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a CNA at a hospital in California and under their policy they pay you for 4 hours but you do have to stay for those 4 hours even if that means doing

  11. BSN vs. direct entry to MSN

    Leafhouse replied to mixie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've heard from other nurses as well as instructors that hospitals and other health care facilities don't really hire entry-level MSN graduates because they lack experience. At a master's level you...

  12. Should I gain experience or money?

    Leafhouse replied to Dre2416's topic in General Students

    This is a tough one. You'll have to work twice as much to make what you're currently making now. I did work throughout nursing school but I didn't become a CNA until my 5th semester. Personally, I...

  13. Taking Micro, Phsyio, and speech together?

    Leafhouse replied to FATGUCCI's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took microbiology, physiology, and statistics all in the same semester and worked about 12 hours a week. I managed to get all A's but it cost me my social life and a lot of mini break downs filled...

  14. If you had to spend your last few what NCLEX book would you buy?

    Leafhouse replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Also a big fan of lacharity. If you want to save money, I would buy the old edition of the Saunders comprehensive review. It's exactly the same as the new edition except that the words in bold are in...

  15. How much did you owe in loans after earning your BSN?

    Leafhouse replied to AllNursesisCool's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just like wsuRN09, I graduated from in state public university with a BSN that cost me about $20,000 (that's not including the 3 years of GE and pre-reques) with zero debt. How did I manage? I had...

    Leafhouse replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This information may get lost in the millions of post but for those of you that live in Ca who can't get quick results and may not entirely trust the Pearson-vue trick, my licensed number showed up on...

  17. Why are students going into LPN programs?

    Leafhouse replied to leo8686's topic in General Students

    I haven't read every post but to make a long story short, it seems that the pay and demand for LPNs varies state to state and like any career decision, you should do your research ahead of time to see...

  18. How much did you owe in loans after earning your BSN?

    Leafhouse replied to AllNursesisCool's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Another thing you may want to consider is how your grades match up with the applicants that have previously been accpeted for each particular school. Also i would look at the point system that each...

  19. Are nurses high in demand in California?

    Leafhouse replied to AllNursesisCool's topic in California Nursing

    Finding a job in California as a new grad is going to be just as difficult as it was being a pre-nursing student trying to get in to nursing school. You have hundreds of people applying for a very...

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

    Leafhouse replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just went on the site to do the trick. My heart was racing and my hands were shaking as if I was taking NCLEX all over again. Got the good pop up and my heart is still racing.

    California State University, Long Beach has an accelerated BSN program. They look at your overall TEAS score, your math TEAS score, your science prereq GPA, and your core class GPA (2 english classes,...

  22. Clinicals

    Leafhouse replied to nurse2b84's topic in General Students

    It is normal to have first day of clinical jitters. If you didn't have them, I would say that you're not human. In fact, you will have them every semester...or at least I did. You will have nurses to...

  23. How much?

    Leafhouse replied to amandakash's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    It all depends on where you are located. I live in southern california and I got hired without any experience other than being a nursing student. I started at $16/hr with a $2 night

  24. courseload

    Leafhouse replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

    If it's possible, I would finish all your general Ed classes before applying to nursing school. I couldn't imagine taking more classes than what's required for nursing school. Actually I can imagine...

  25. Nursing in CSULB

    Leafhouse replied to dominohwang's topic in General Students

    Yes nursing school at CSULB and just about anywhere is impacted but to say that your chances of getting in are slim to none is ridiculous. About 90 students get accepted each application period and...
