  1. Certification in Nursing School?

    IThinkICan100 replied to mommycruz3's topic in General Students

    BLS is normally required before you enter nursing school. ACLS isn't required and schools don't normally teach it. You have to find a training center that provides the class. It normally costs around...

  2. what is the difference between Microbiology -vs Microbiolgy for health profession..

    IThinkICan100 replied to Ms.futureRN's topic in General Students

    You really can take either, but I would take Micro for HP. It's normally an introductory class for lower credit, which is all you need. It covers the general aspects of the class in one semester....

    IThinkICan100 replied to nursinggirl11's topic in General Students

  4. Difficulty difference between LVN and RN

    IThinkICan100 replied to JosephRAdam's topic in General Students

    In my area, LPNs are used for nursing homes, step-down units, home health, and other non-hospital/critical roles. I almost went to LPN school, but I was accepted into a BSN program. Both learn the...

  5. Safe Job vs. Dream Job

    IThinkICan100 replied to itsacalling721's topic in General Students

    It would never hurt to take the safe job, especially being that you are a new grad just getting that fresh 1-2 years of experience. OB/Peds is a very popular specialty that will have a lot of...

  7. BSN vs. ADN

    IThinkICan100 replied to Darlene_xo22's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    BSN gives you more leverage (when it comes to job hunting) and allows you to easily enroll in graduate programs (being that you don't have to finish your undergrad). ADN is a good degree, but most...

  8. Watch what you post on Facebook

    IThinkICan100 replied to classicdame's topic in General Students

    Our school really monitors us, being a private Christian university. People always stock on facebook, so just make sure that even your private life on facebook is clean. I've learned to filter my...

  9. Best shoes for nursing school?

    IThinkICan100 replied to raidergirl95's topic in General Students

    Our school is all white when it comes to shoes, too! It's a downer because we can't have the flashy shoes, but we sure as heck can bleach them! I went to my local famous footwear and found some nikes...

  11. ATI Pharmacology

    IThinkICan100 replied to FutureRN2k15's topic in General Students

    All pharmacology classes feel this way. There is soooo much information to learn that the professors don't know what to do with it or how to ram it in your brain. Just keep in mind that pharmacology...

    IThinkICan100 posted a topic in General Students

    To get everyone's mind off of nursing for a minute... Our university has a banquet night every semester and it is a big thing for everyone on campus to attend. Our nursing department has a lot of...

  13. Things they won't tell you that you need but should get?!

    IThinkICan100 replied to cadymariexoxo's topic in General Students

    I strongly recommend starting a nursing equipment kit. My program just required a stethoscope and that was it, but we would get to clinicals and I couldn't find any medical equipment. After one too...

  14. Attending University of Youtube/Google

    IThinkICan100 replied to travelgurl18's topic in General Students

    My health assessment teacher is like this. 1/4 of her lecture is YouTube, which is good and bad. I think youtube is a good resource, but I pay tuition for these classes. You really just have to do the...

  17. Fainting Nurses

    IThinkICan100 replied to SScott2809's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's okay! I have seen and heard of this before. We have a girl in my program that faints all the time. We were assisting the nurse with a PICC and this girl walked out of the room. A guest actually...

    IThinkICan100 replied to jarielle22's topic in General Students

  19. Single Dad, Work, and School?

    IThinkICan100 replied to JasonPB22's topic in General Students

    You should talk with the financial aid department. Because of your background, I am very certain that they can find you the money you need! You just need to explain to them your whole situation and...

  20. Pay and nursing ratios in tulsa OK

    IThinkICan100 replied to littlemissrn1's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Pay is in the low to mid 20s for new nurses. St. Francis pays the most out of all the hospitals, but not that much more than St. John's. It's only about a 2 or 3 dollar difference tops, so it really...

  21. Internships?

    IThinkICan100 posted a topic in General Students

    So, I have a long way until I have to really worry about internships, but do you guys have any advice on internships? Our university doesn't require them, but they are heavily recommended because the...

  22. Who supervises you during clinicals?

    IThinkICan100 replied to calivianya's topic in General Students

    Last semester I did fundamental clinicals in a hospital and the 12 of us were divided up by departments (so there were two or three students to a department). We were just put there each under a nurse...
