  1. Hyperglycemia or Dehydration what to treat first

    justin.j replied to hazzadis's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is why you're so great Esme! When I originally read the OPs post, my mind went right to the hyperkalemia; perhaps because the threat of elevated K+ levels is so drilled into our skulls in school....

  2. Needing help! Trying to find a second degree rn to np program

    justin.j replied to mursejohns's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've seen plenty of RN-MSN programs, and plenty of accelerated (or second degree) BSN and MSN programs. But I don't think I've seen any second degree RN-MSN programs. I think you would essentially...

  3. LPN vs. RN program

    justin.j replied to mistiestar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi mistiestar! Welcome to allnurses. :) If your ultimate goal is to be an RN, I say go for it. There certainly isn't...

  4. Because nobody is a better expert in the art of nursing than...

    justin.j replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sadly you might lose that bet. My husband is an M.D. and was recently shadowed on his shift because the hospital he works for is trying to up their customer...oops, I mean patient... satisfaction...

  5. New Grad Quitting After Less Than a Year (advice!)

    justin.j replied to IcySageNurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with what many have said here. You have to do what's best for you. However, keep in mind that what's best for you will take into consideration your future employment. Before going into nursing...

  6. White uniform

    justin.j replied to ArieElizabeth's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    The real question is, why do schools keep insisting on white

  7. Dialysis staff nurse salary in US

    justin.j replied to bambam123's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I don't know personally, but according to salary.com, it would be around $80,000. Here is the link. Salary.com Salary Wizard- Do you know what you're worth? You can always play around with the...

  8. Group projects

    justin.j replied to NICU:)'s topic in General Students

    That sounds incredibly frustrating! Have you tried addressing the issue with her directly? It's not a fun conversation, but if you and the rest of your group feel this way, it might be best to just...

  9. Nursing Diagnosis

    justin.j replied to kushkismat's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hi kushkismat, Welcome to AllNurses! Nursing Diagnosis and the nursing process can be tricky, but it's also very broad. Can you narrow down what exactly you're having a problem

  10. Nursing Diagnosis.... HELP!

    justin.j replied to rowdysmomma's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hey there, So, I'll preface by saying that I'm also a student, so hopefully someone with more experience than me will weigh in! However, since there are no responses yet, these are my thoughts. With...

  11. Statistics???

    justin.j replied to akilah530's topic in General Students

    Math and I are not great friends either. I went the online route when I took the course. Our grade was based on the midterm and the final and nothing else. (Talk about pressure.) The only good thing...

  12. Need advice/insight please about my education path!

    justin.j replied to midido80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you decided to get your BS in another area first, you can always then look into accelerated BSN programs. Many of those are about two years, they're slightly less competitive than regular ASN or...

  13. Will I be in over my head? Advice please!

    justin.j replied to FutureNurseNYC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If all you said is true, I know you'll get out alive. All the best to you, and good

  14. Be a nurse to go to med school?

    justin.j replied to judit4424's topic in Nursing Career

    As some have mentioned, nursing school and medical school are two different things. Medical school is a graduate program that is followed up by a residency, and then a fellowship if you'd like to...

  15. Question about Letters of Rec

    justin.j replied to yoo2na's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It varies by school, but generally speaking you either have them mail it to someone at the school, or you just hand it in yourself with your application packet. Check the directions for application on...

  16. Good Writing Skills Are Essential

    justin.j replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Video may have killed the radio star, but spell check and texting killed the written English

  17. Oh boy, what was she thinking?!

    justin.j replied to uRNmyway's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't agree more. If a person leads off asking about drug testing, doesn't follow up that question with specifics (ie. I am taking prescription xyz, will that be an issue?), and instead hangs...

  18. Scholarships

    justin.j replied to Hawkeyet72's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    As the previous poster mentioned, I would check in with your FinAid office as they'll have a better idea of what scholarships are still available. Make sure they're aware of your unique situation as...

  19. Your thoughts on being "written up".

    justin.j replied to RNSuzq1's topic in General Nursing

    I know this is definitely not the popular opinion, but coming from an HR background, I think valid write-ups can actually be really valuable. I think the important thing to remember is that any time...

  20. The Benefits And Drawbacks Of Private For-Profit Schools

    justin.j replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    Oh, yeah, definitely not a size issue. I went to Galveston last year and spent some time in Houston. I couldn't believe how big it was! I suppose that's one of the more frustrating things. Each...

  21. The Benefits And Drawbacks Of Private For-Profit Schools

    justin.j replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    Stephalump: I found that most of the schools in the SF bay area and many in the Boston Metro area tend to have extensive wait-lists. You can bust your hump getting A's in all of your pre-reqs and...

  22. I want to move out of state.

    justin.j replied to white8tiger6's topic in General Students

    I recently moved from San Francisco. It's one of the best cities in the world and I absolutely love it, buuuut, just make sure you bring your checkbook. If you're not used to the cost of living there,...

  23. Transfering from IL to MA

    justin.j replied to Aerodita's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would send the MA BON an email. I've communicated with them before, and they're very helpful. There is also some information on the website, but it is a bit vague and doesn't state whether or not...

  24. Nurses and other healthcare staff smoking alongside patients!?!

    justin.j replied to SweetPEI's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    To lighten the mood and for what it's worth, I love your avatar. Very cute, and no reason not to mix something happy and make believe like minnie mouse, and something serious and real world like...

  25. Can any of the prerequisites (biology) be taken online?

    justin.j replied to plutomickey1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can definitely take a lot of the prereq classes online for transfer. As long as you've taken them at a fully accredited school, you shouldn't have difficulty transferring them in to your program....
