  1. Nursing School Graduation Gift Ideas

    Montessori Mommy replied to dancing nancy's topic in First Year After Licensure

  2. Competitiveness Among Interviewing Students

    Montessori Mommy replied to peds4now's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I didn't tell anyone I had sent out my resumes and applied for positions until after my interviews. I only wanted a position in L & D or an NICU, and I knew these positions are hard to find in...

  3. Frontier Midwifery School

    Montessori Mommy replied to Khadijah2's topic in General Nursing

    I was wondering how difficult it is to find a clinical site in your own community. I'll be graduating with an ADN this May, and have a Bachelor's in another field. I'm very blessed to have been...

  4. Pre-employment physical

    Montessori Mommy replied to mlmRN30's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going for my pre-employment physical next week, and was told to bring a list of the medications I take. That seems an odd request, doesn't it? As long as I pass the drug screen, do they really...

  5. Hints for Interview Success?

    Montessori Mommy replied to weirdRN's topic in General Nursing

  6. How big of a mistake was this?

    Montessori Mommy replied to UnidentifiedNurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't understand how a patient could be receiving Tylenol without you knowing it. Who was administering the

  7. Why do so many of you hate working med/surg?

    Montessori Mommy replied to jollyjenny's topic in General Nursing

    As a student, I don't like med/surg for a few reasons. First, I can't imagine safely caring for 8 or 9 patients at a time. I'm sure experienced nurses can do it, but it just seems like playing with...

  8. Question about resumes....

    Montessori Mommy posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi. Can anyone who outlined their clinical experience on their resume for a job right out of nursing school tell me how they composed it? I have previous job experience as an engineer, but I don't...

  10. ATI Testing is BS!

    Montessori Mommy replied to TsavarenaRN's topic in General Students

  11. First Nursing Resume Question

    Montessori Mommy posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I'm going to start putting together my resume over vacation for my first nursing job. Although I won't graduate until May, the hospital I want to work for begins interviewing in February. Here's my...

  12. ATI Testing is BS!

    Montessori Mommy replied to TsavarenaRN's topic in General Students

    We have to take the ATI tests also, but they are only for our own use - not for a grade or extra points. Our instructors said we should use the analysis of our test to see what areas to review before...

  13. Do you really drop a letter grade?

    Montessori Mommy replied to tanner523's topic in General Students

    I was terrified to begin nursing school after hearing many horror stories! As a wife and a mom of two, I never thought I'd do well even though I had a 4.0 in my pre-reqs. (I'm very blessed that I...

    My school grades as follows: A+ 95-100 4.0 A 90-94 3.66 B+ 85-89 3.33 B 80-84 3.0 Anything below an 80 is a failure. You are allowed to fail and then retake one class during your two years, which...

  16. Friends are frustrating me..Anyone in same situation?

    Montessori Mommy replied to wannabesedated's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is the most challenging thing I've ever done! My first degree was a bachelors in engineering, and I didn't study half as much as I do now!! I know an MD who's parents & sister...

  17. I have been asked why don't I become a Physician rather than a Nurse.Itis so ....

    Montessori Mommy replied to RNsoon!'s topic in New York Nursing

    I'm asked this often, especially since I began college a long time ago in a pre-med program. (I ended up with a degree in engineering - it's a long story!) Honestly, I would love to attend medical...

  18. Good "Dancing/singing in your car before NCLEX" songs

    Montessori Mommy replied to JenNJFLCA's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm a lot older than most of you, but I'd suggest "My Future's So Bright, I've Gotta Wear Shades" or "Blinded Me with

  19. does anyone else feel like a glorified maid?

    Montessori Mommy replied to smileysenior's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've completed the first of two years of an RN program, and I feel the same way. Once we got up to three patients in clinicals, I realized there was no longer time to provide any sort of "patient...

  20. When do I start applying?

    Montessori Mommy replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I won't be graduating until next May, but I have a question along this same line: When you first initiate contact with hospitalsfor a job, do you indicate in which area you would liike to work or do...

  22. question about being accredited

    Montessori Mommy replied to AuntieRN's topic in General Nursing

    Montessori Mommy posted a topic in General Nursing

    Today in nursing school "boot camp" (a summer semester of 5 weeks of three-8 hour days with three patients on the med-surg floor) I cared for a woman who said she has rosacea. I've known people with...

  24. What do you look for in a nursing school?

    Montessori Mommy replied to jimd59's topic in General Nursing

    In addition to the things mentioned above, I like that my school is so small. We started our first nursing class with 24 students. We get lots of individual attention during clinicals, and our...

  25. Counting respirations...student freaking out!~

    Montessori Mommy replied to SarasotaRN2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm a nursing student too, and I also pretend to be taking their pulse while I count respirations. I've actually had nurses tell me they are going to count my respirations!! There is no way to...
