  1. CNA summer job

    SarasotaRN2b replied to OURN83's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    That may be difficult no matter where you live. I know working through school is difficult, have you though about maybe working part-time per diem during the school year? Maybe you can work a couple...

  2. Nursing Faculty Shortage

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Shane_in_Arizona's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    How is the opportunity to obtain a tenured position if one is able to relocate? And where can one find more opportunities in the US? I've got some time to go, but I am

  3. Pass-Fail Clinical Grades. Are educators lazy?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to 1Tulip's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    As a new RN-student-to-be (only one more week!), for the first semester I would definitely prefer P/F for clinicals. We are all on a learning curve, and the most important thing we need to keep on...

  4. Entry level nursing doctorate

    SarasotaRN2b replied to guest27716's topic in Post Graduate Students

    OP, have you looked into Pharmacology? I personally had thought about being a pharmacist way back because of my interest in pharmacology, but I felt that unless you have a small pharmacy, most of...

    SarasotaRN2b replied to johnson0424's topic in Post Graduate Students

  7. LOST..need advice..-_-''

    SarasotaRN2b replied to melamin's topic in Nursing Career

    I wouldn't suggest it. You are looking for nursing as a money option, and it is so much more. If engineering is your niche, try to see what you can do about scholarships, grants, etc. I would...

  8. GPA of avg. nursing applicant?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to faith4life's topic in Texas Nursing

    Personally, I think that a lottery is the worst way to get a nursing school together. It is just not fair to those who have worked hard and have gotten good grades, especially in the prereqs. The...

  9. BSN or RN

    SarasotaRN2b replied to ibmaryann's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Everytime I see a post like this, I feel exactly like this!!! When are people going to realize that becoming an RN comes after passing the boards, whether they've attended an Associates program, a...

  10. Gave meds to wrong patient, please help guys

    SarasotaRN2b replied to MimismomRN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yes, please don't beat yourself up anymore about this. You made a mistake and you were able to follow up and take care of it. One thing I would suggest is that you try to get another preceptor. I...

  13. I Hate My Program/instructors!

  14. Anybody from Long island?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to rnaffah's topic in New York Nursing

    Well, I am originally from Long Island (and like Suzy said, it is not a city, but a whole bunch of towns). There are a lot of good hospitals. I've worked at North Shore University Hospital in...

  15. Question for Nursing Educators, particularly Community College Instructors

    SarasotaRN2b posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I'm just doing some preliminary research on the admission standards for incoming nursing students... For example, does your CC have open admissions where everyone is accepted if they meet minimum...

  16. Nurse educator Insight sought

    SarasotaRN2b replied to tookewlandy's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I really feel that if nursing schools are really expecting a lot of their students (and they should be considering that life and death of real health decisions are required), minimum standards need to...

  17. Giving meds in clinicals

    SarasotaRN2b replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Since medical administration is such an important facet of being a nurse, how come schools don't require a semester of pharmacology including math for meds before even getting into nursing school....

  20. Hate Peds?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to gdelrosa's topic in General Students

    In the sense of children, while you can get the objective information for your assessment, when it comes to subjective, this is when it comes to working with the child's parents..They will be able to...

    SarasotaRN2b replied to RN2B1DAY's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    YES! First, you'll see if nursng is definitely what you want to do. Second, you'll get to see firsthand what a nurse actually does. Third, you can build a relationship with your hospital that can...

  23. Nursing school vs. nursing shortage

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Natkat's topic in General Nursing

    Is it that they don't have the facilities or they don't have the clinical instructors? Just curious.

  24. Anyone take the HESI?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to geekgolightly's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

  25. What can managers do to work on their staffing schedule more effectively?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Angelfish1234's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely use the self-scheduling model. Each nurse would schedule themselves for their required amount of days (i.e. f/ters 3 and p/ters whatever their schedule requires), along with that...
