    GPA from different schools into Nursing Program

    NICUmiiki replied to tkim44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can try to apply and see, but I don't think that the answer you'll get is the one you are hoping for. I know for my school, they simply look at the class and the grade with no bearing for where...

    NICUmiiki replied to forgop's topic in Emergency

    NICUmiiki replied to Bee511's topic in General Students

    Is it wrong to bring a patient coffee?

    NICUmiiki replied to emily12345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would ask the nurses who care for him to make sure it's ok.. Otherwise, I don't see a problem with it. Check to make sure it doesn't violate any policies

    I am scared to do CPR

    NICUmiiki replied to Luna1326's topic in General Nursing

    Don't worry. If your not doing them hard or fast enough, someone will tell you. If you are doing good compressions someone else will be able to feel a pulse or hear it on a doppler. Make sure you...

    Preparing for clinicals

    NICUmiiki replied to love67's topic in General Students

    We do all of that except revising after clinical. Our instructor picks up our folders (with all of our work in them) at the end of clinical and we don't see them again until pre-clinical the next...

    NICUmiiki replied to BeeGeeRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My state does care. They will not licensure you if you did not go to an approved school and had clinicals within the state. The BON must approve any school that plans on holding clinicals in the state...
