Well I've been a OR nurse for over a 2 years, still learning a lot but I hope this helps. During the day I see lots of ortho,general cardiac cysto and the occasional emergency. recently I started working nights, 7pm to 7:30 am, boy I rushed my learn...

I work with a group of oral surgeons as their assistant, part time, since school is so demanding. One of my instructors told us the same, to volunteer or find a per-diem job at a hospital. In one of my clinical sites we encountered some combative pat...

Nope, at all, know all your normal values for Na, Ca, K, Mg, and P , signs and symptoms are almost the same for all so I made a little table with the main differences between them. It's overwhelming at the beginning but you'll get it! Good luck!

I'm in the same boat, I busted my tail off and barely get a 77 average.... I'm speechless! From being an A student to a C? My clinical where amazing, in fact the head nurse of the floor where I did my clinical experience told me to apply for a job i...

I can't believe someone has the time to cheat in a relationship while in nursing school. Being married, part time job, two kids and full time student... Can't even keep up with all my reading assignments

Thanks for answering! As an update, today I talk to my manager about why I have't got an answer from her to what she reply: " two years ago I was asked if I wanted to change sites and you declined it; Now, you do your job, but you don't go above and...

My Hospital offers a program called "Tuition loan forgiveness" for nursing students, were you sign a contract for two years after you graduate. I know I qualify for it, but my manager does not give me a letter of recommendation to apply for it. All m...

Hi everyone! like title says, i'm in trouble. I cannot keep up my FT job so i'm planning to get a per-diem job so I can study and do everything nursing school requires. but my wife does not sees it that way My sister in law is a nurse and she told ...

I honestly don't think you are going to find any discrimination with instructors or female nurses, what you might find is, they love to have guys around to help!... I've been in a couple of floors where all the girls are so nice and I can't think of...

Creeping death. From Metallica. Too harsh? ; )

Thanks MrChicagoRN. This is true! Is only for NC. I have already filled FAFSA but I only got the necessary to cover my first nursing class, since my wife and I work full time and again the problem is that the nursing counselor, and a bunch of differ...

No, they did not accept any of my credits. According to the ECE transcript I have 137 credit hours but according to any school they are too old or not transferable... It is what it is! De que parte de México eres?

And i went to college there, i could not finish my DMD, one year left, and this was more than 15 years ago... Now I'm trying to get in to nursing school, do i have to prove them about my Mexican records? Or just not mention it and go with all my pre...

Thanks a lot for all your answers! I know it will be worth at the end but my wife gets really concerned about it! Latroyashort, thanks I will look in to it...

I got my spot at GWCC, need to finish all the paperwork but I'm in!!! I think I'm very lucky since this was the only nursing program that I applied!

Why Nursing? All my life I wanted to be a physician, life is hard and my dream never came true; after years in the Dental field I wanted to became a Dental Hygienist until my wife gave birth to our little girl... the Nurse did EVERYTHING!!! the Dr, ...

Today I get an e-mail from my admissions office, they can't find my paperwork that I submitted for nursing school. Come on people it is my future! Get it together! Sorry for the rant but I can't afford to lose one year!

Congrats! now tear them apart (meanning give all you can to succed)

Wow, I wish I can say is easy for a guy. I have the blessing of being the only guy in my floor, beside some Dr's, and sometimes is hard, some girls tend to be kind of "jokers" and at some point my manager said that the scrubs for our floor where goin...

Besides the wage (CRNA is missing a zero at the end of the yearly pay) I don't think there is a big difference, I've seen better patient care from any CRNA than from MDA, and many of the Dr's that I work with agree!

Big question I know, but what do you think? Many of my class mates are applaying to 3 or 4 schools, personally I feel to apply just to the one I'm asisting for my pre-recs... too confident,no. I just feel fine, but again 3 or 4 i think is an over kil...

Thank you all for your answers, my wife tells me the same, apply to at least three schools, so that will be! I'll let you know whats going on!

My experience, a 4 yo kid, needed all his four anterior upper teeht extracted with local anesthesia and nitrous oxide, so we ask the parents to stay in the room to talk to them and calm them down, well dad decides that he can't do this and hand me a ...

Thanks for the answers... i will give a copy of my transcripts; they give me 128 credits and take only 4 credits in SCSU lets se in GWCC how it goes... Thanks again :)
