  1. A weird interview exercise; and how interviews have changed: for the Worse!

    DowntheRiver replied to BlinkyPinky's topic in General Nursing

    This, and also say that you love to join Committees. Oh my gee,

  2. A weird interview exercise; and how interviews have changed: for the Worse!

    DowntheRiver replied to BlinkyPinky's topic in General Nursing

    This would also describe me to a T, so maybe that is what they are looking for as

  3. Feel like I don't know anything

    DowntheRiver replied to mindiianajones's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't know, I think it is strange that you'd expect somebody to go back and look at the commenter's other posts to decipher what they mean. The first time I read her comment I was kinda astounded. I...

  4. Fertility/IVF Nursing

    DowntheRiver replied to LilyMiranda's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No luck yet here but we just started the testing process in March. Doing IVF in September due to low motility and morphology so we have to do ICSI. I just want one but if I'm blessed with two or three...

  5. HELP! New Grad hired in PACU OR

    DowntheRiver replied to rnmm18's topic in PACU

    I would suggest reaching out to your facility's nurse educator. Most places have one for their department. They'd be able to give you better information to study and policies to follow that are...

  6. Fertility/IVF Nursing

    DowntheRiver replied to LilyMiranda's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My response is as someone who interviewed as a nurse for a fertility clinic and as a fertility patient. I am a patient at the same place I interviewed just not the same location. This is a large...

  7. Vasovagal Syncope

    DowntheRiver replied to Katbug's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Please provide a link to a scientific study proving as

  8. Help on getting into nursing school

    DowntheRiver replied to Celly09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe the program with post bacc is that the OP will have already taken the majority of these courses. Most places will average the grade of these two courses, so even if OP makes As in every...

  9. Stressed, Confused, Anxious

    DowntheRiver replied to hi_hello29's topic in General Nursing

    If your heart isn't in it then your head isn't in it. And most certainly if your head isn't into it you will make

  10. The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) RN-BSN Reviews

    DowntheRiver replied to DowntheRiver's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I enjoyed the program overall. I have some friends who are doing or who have done the local RN to BSN program (USF) and their program is WAY more intense than mine, requires campus visits, and they...

  11. The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) RN-BSN Reviews

    DowntheRiver replied to DowntheRiver's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Toughest non-nursing classes were Statistics and History II. These classes were tough because I took them with other nursing classes and they were a lot of busy work. If you must take these classes,...

  12. Help on getting into nursing school

    DowntheRiver replied to Celly09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    With that low of a GPA, I'd honestly start with LPN. Start working as a LPN and then do a LPN to RN program. Continue working and getting experience, and then do a RN to BSN program or RN to MSN...

  13. Castlebanch drug testing facility

    DowntheRiver replied to beardeddragon123's topic in General Students

    I think I know where you are going with this, and it is very hard to keep urine at correct temperature if it is not coming directly from your body. This is coming from a former occupational health/UDS...

  14. Horrible first job - need advice

    DowntheRiver replied to PAnurse94's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Any time I was on light duty and expected to work I was not allowed to be around patients. Usually light duty is able to lift 10 pounds unassisted. What did your WC paperwork say? Make sure you get a...

  15. The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) RN-BSN Reviews

    DowntheRiver replied to DowntheRiver's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Management is much easier. The assignments are mostly fill in the blank and discussion board posts. Research is time consuming and should be taken by itself. You could easily take Management +...

  16. Capstone UTA

    DowntheRiver replied to baetzel88's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    The course is intentionally set up to be vague. The purpose is to challenge you to put everything that you learned in this course together and figure it out on your own. It is a lesson in critical...

  17. BSN-MSN Complete

    DowntheRiver replied to krb0509's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Which class were hardest in the MSN Ed. program? I'm concerned about Assessment, Patho, Pharm. Did I read correctly that you can only take 1 MSN class at a time? If so, that is fine with me. I plan...

  18. Mandatory Influenza Vaccine

    DowntheRiver replied to AllisonMcTigue's topic in General Nursing

    I used to be a Community Health Nurse and my primary focus was vaccines. Very pro-vaccine here and so is my facility. There are an alarming amount of anti-vaxxers that are

  19. Pts refusing to weigh

    DowntheRiver replied to T-Bird78's topic in General Nursing

    I work in Oncology, and since many treatments are based off of weight, we actually don't accept refusals/declinations for most treatments. Sadly, many of our patients can easily lose 20-30 pounds in a...

  20. Mandatory Influenza Vaccine

    DowntheRiver replied to AllisonMcTigue's topic in General Nursing

    We are required to get the flu vaccine or wear a mask. If you chose the mask option you must always be wearing it, and they do enforce it from October to March. It is an offense that could merit a...

  21. Charité

    DowntheRiver replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I have it saved on Netflix to watch. I just finished my RN to BSN program this week (!) so I now have 4 months to relax and watch some tv before starting MSN Ed. Very much looking forward to

  22. UTA RN-BSN (ON CAMPUS)

    DowntheRiver replied to Summer042's topic in General Students

    You would probably have better luck posting this in the UTA school

  23. Nurses' Week - Upended.

    DowntheRiver replied to evilolive07's topic in General Nursing

    So our CNO has a big event this week. Just one person had a conflict. So, our entire hospital system (1500+ nurses) celebrated Nurse's Week LAST week because she had a conflict this

  24. Current/graduates from UTA online RN program

    DowntheRiver replied to Mscris's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Mostly good. The program is very doable while working full time. It took me 2.5 years but I could have done it in 1.5 if I hadn't traveled. Honestly, most difficult classes were non-nursing:...

  25. BSN-MSN Complete

    DowntheRiver replied to krb0509's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Did you do their RN to BSN program, and if so, how does it compare? How difficult would you rate the classes? Easiest class? Hardest class? Were you able to work full time during the program? How long...
