    Future of nurse practitioners

    NICUmiiki replied to TheYouthOfMedicine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've seen two universities near me transition. One has already accepted their first cohort of DNP-only students and the other just gained approval from the BON to change their curriculum. Both schools...

    Future of nurse practitioners

    NICUmiiki replied to TheYouthOfMedicine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why do you have no interest in a DNP program? You are still a nurse practitioner but with a higher educational degree. There's really no use in going through nursing if you want to do a PA program. A...

    One thing I learned today is that honesty will get you nowhere in Nursing School.

    NICUmiiki replied to guest08/05/2014's topic in General Students

    Been there. Done that. Still no sympathy from me. Of course you can try to get your teacher to let you take it, but you can't get mad if he/she doesn't let

    CPR for Healthcare Providers?

    NICUmiiki replied to LaceElaine's topic in General Students

    You could probably could have gotten by with Red Cross's CPR for the Professional Rescuer. All the facilities around me will accept that in lieu of AHA's CPR/AED for Healthcare Providers but not Red...

    NICUmiiki replied to guest08/05/2014's topic in General Students

    Honesty will get you everything in nursing school, but not alone. It has to come with integrity and responsibility. Responsibility is what you are missing here and that is why it didn't work out for...

    Instructor won't allow us to use our own calculator for math test?

    NICUmiiki replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    My school does the same, and also has some crappy calculators. Type numbers in carefully and double check answers. I don't think this is a big deal. Honestly, I think that you (and my classmates on...

    Having a hard time with delegation

    NICUmiiki replied to Nolli's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The LPNs in my state cannot administer IV push medications, but they can hang fluids and piggybacks. Maybe that's the same for your state. I agree that "skills" is a really broad

    Disappointed in my clinical rotation..

    NICUmiiki replied to robdob's topic in General Students

    I totally get your frustration. Last semester, some of my friends were on the surgery/trama unit or a step down while I was on a Med/Tele unit (all patients have med problems with some patients who...

    Schools misrepresenting competitiveness?

    NICUmiiki replied to skzfoz's topic in General Students

    Enter your TEAS V Scores here!!

    NICUmiiki replied to Future Nurse's Wife's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    That has to do with the school and how they registered their program. It will make no difference on your score. You score will just be calculated into ADN stats next year instead of BSN

    Macbook Air vs Macbook Pro

    NICUmiiki replied to mmcc01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had both at the same time until I sold the Pro. I like that the Air is so thin and light. They run the same operating system and are about what and what on performance for most everyday use unless...

    Math Problem - Nursing Student

    NICUmiiki replied to Mayberry_02's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You need to know how many mLs not oz. There are 30 mLs/oz. PO intake would be 300mLs. Edit: Rereading the OP, I wasn't able to figure out why you got 30 for input. Did you put 3 mL per

    NICUmiiki replied to Mia83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took it the first semester of my nursing program. I didn't find it hard at all and I barely spent any time on it. I'm good at math, and I've already completed Calculus I &

    Electronics in Nursing School

    NICUmiiki replied to yourPhutureNurse_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also don't use any paper for class. My program utilizes Google docs for in-class group work, and a laptop is required. All of my notes are on my school Google drive account. If papers are passed...

    NICUmiiki replied to Cardiolyte's topic in General Nursing

    We can only miss two days in a rolling year also. But that only applies to call ins that leave the unit short. If someone covers your shift, you were granted vacation time, or you you are on some...

    New to college

    NICUmiiki replied to crushlush's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't bring the books unless it's asked for. You might need your math book. Print out the syllabus from moodle, blackboard, or whatever course management system your school uses and bring it to class....
