1. Dilemma choosing schools

   IThinkICan100 posted a topic in NP Students

   Hey, y'all! I was just accepted yesterday into Maryville Univeristy for the MSN in PMHNP. Their application process was quick and I didn't have to wait very long with the acceptance process. I also applied to Frontier, which is my first pick out of t...

2. HIPAA?

   IThinkICan100 replied to IThinkICan100's topic in General Students

   I didn't tag the facility or school - it was just a comment on my friend's post. I am almost positive one of our professors read it and turned it into the dean. I just did some reading and that was not a HIPAA violation whatsoever, but it did go agai...

3. HIPAA?

   IThinkICan100 posted a topic in General Students

   So a friend of mine mentioned on facebook that she hated how clinical facilities treated SNs. I commented back that I liked our previous clinical facility (and I mentioned the name) because they allowed us to do a lot. I also mentioned that the MAs w...

4. What Supplies Should I Get for School?

   IThinkICan100 replied to SKay226's topic in General Students

   Hey, JustBeachyNurse! I've never been stopped from using my own equipment in class or clinicals. I've done clinicals in nursing homes, hospitals, and rehab facilities - none have squawked. It actually got to the point where the nursing staff were ste...

5. What Supplies Should I Get for School?

   IThinkICan100 replied to SKay226's topic in General Students

   Hey, Pmabraham! I got my compartment clipboard from walmart. It was a black $10 plastic clipboard, but I may invest in a better one I found at Staples. (I need to go school supply shopping ASAP!) I found my nursing bag on Amazon. I think it is this o...

6. What Supplies Should I Get for School?

   IThinkICan100 replied to SKay226's topic in General Students

   Here are a few random things I found invaluable my first year: - Heavy-duty backpack: I first used a leather messenger bag my in the beginning, but I quickly found that my class supplies were toooooooo overwhelming to carry. I found a nice heavy-duty...

7. financial aid and course load

   IThinkICan100 replied to Alexandra19's topic in General Students

   I run into a similar situation every semester! My nursing classes are less that 12 hours (even though 1 nursing credit takes the time and effort of 3 regular credits!), so I have to try to fit in other classes that I need for my degree. It's hard to ...

8. Failed BSN Program Junior Year

   IThinkICan100 replied to BanannaFish's topic in General Students

   I'm not in your shoes right now, but I think we all have a "backup plan" somewhere in our minds! If it were me that this was happening to, I would go to LPN school and knock that out ASAP. Then I could work and make some money while doing a LPN-RN/BS...

9. Basic Phlebotomy Course? Y/N?

   IThinkICan100 posted a topic in General Students

   So, I start my second year (out of three) of nursing school next month! I am in a BSN program, but I saw a local tech school is offering a basic phlebotomy course. I texted one of my professors (who ironically used to work there) and she said we woul...

10. Shoes

    IThinkICan100 replied to NRRN,IWP's topic in General Students

    I love my new balance shoes. Sadly, I can't wear them because they don't agree with our school clinical dress code. We have to wear 100% white shoes at clinicals. I have a pair of clunky white nike tennis shoes for clinicals that are huge and give me...

11. What is a "passing grade" for your nursing program?

    IThinkICan100 replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in General Students

    77% and above is passing in all nursing and science courses at my university.

12. Deciding between jobs

    IThinkICan100 replied to IThinkICan100's topic in General Students

    So, I went in for the interview today and they were very nice! Because I am a student nurse, she thought I was well over qualified for the job (in a good way). I had applied to multiple jobs within that hospital, so I didn't remember what hours they ...

13. Practicing Skills over Break

    IThinkICan100 posted a topic in General Students

    So, I have two more days until I finish my first year of nursing school! We pretty much learned all of our nursing skills during the first semester, but never had a chance to really practice them in clinicals. We did IVs and our dosage calc test at t...

14. Considering Platt College...

    IThinkICan100 replied to CosmicLove33's topic in Oklahoma

    I almost attended a LPN program in Bartlesville. Total cost of the 12 month program was $4500 without a wait list (if you were to apply on time).

15. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    IThinkICan100 replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked on tele, we had one room that the call light would turn on randomly even if we didn't have a patient. The staff said there was a ghost haunting that bed. The ghost was obviously upset because he didn't receive his pain medication on ti...
