  1. A&P 1...study habits??

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

    Online stuff is good. Khanacademy is excellent Explaining things to study partners are great. Office hours can be helpful. And sleep. Your brain can't learn if you dont sleep

  2. Question for all the LPN & RN's

    tigerlogic replied to Bebe09's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It didn't have much to do with me deciding to pursue nursing but I dated a mostly deaf guy with hearing aids for a bit. Though he definitely struggled to hear enough in some situations, he spoke...

  4. Resources for students

    tigerlogic posted a topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    Hi, I'm a nursing student and have been given the opportunity to shadow an ostomy/wound care nurse for a day. (yay!) I'm reading your permanent links below but I was wondering if there are any other...

  5. Where are the new grads in ICU?

    tigerlogic replied to kika72's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Look at nurse residency programs. They are also competitive but seem a good way to get into

  6. Advice on overseas internship/volunteer placements

    tigerlogic replied to aaomalley's topic in International Nursing

    EntreMundos - Free Volunteer Opportunities and NGO Services in Guatemala is a great Guatemalan NGO recommended to me by my Guatemalan

  7. CNA or Doula to BSN to CNM

    tigerlogic replied to pjoe08's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'm not sure about what it takes to be a doula and it probably varies by state, but most CNAs work in LTC. LTC is great experience in some ways, but has almost nothing to do with mother/baby. What...

  8. International Travel Nursing

    tigerlogic replied to hncook12's topic in International Nursing

    There are things like MSF and international red cross. I know some people just flat out work abroad and get the visas, negotiate the particulars of that country (usually you need to be pretty fluent...

  9. Am I doing the right thing by quitting Nursing School? Advice please!

    tigerlogic replied to Olive_Juice's topic in General Students

    I started college as pre-med and then gave up on it because I didn't have the emotional strength or wisdom to deal with people when they needed someone secure and grounded. I was too young and had...

  11. 1st Psych Nursing Job starts Monday, any advice?

    tigerlogic replied to ChelleNurse's topic in Psychiatric

    Some good books to consider: An Unquiet Mind by Kay Redfield Jameson and Anatomy of an Epidemic, Witaker. Two very different perspectives that might give you some ideas where patients are coming...

  12. Need a simple answer!

    tigerlogic replied to Topher53's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You can change your mind to different specialties in nursing along the way, too. More flexibility in some

  14. Pharmacology expectations

    tigerlogic posted a topic in General Students

    My pharmacology teacher is frusteratingly vague about her expections or objectives and I'm worried I won't be prepared when I get to clinicals, my integrated practicum, or eventual job. What are these...

  15. job search for new grad in disaster/public health nursing

    tigerlogic replied to joie.de.vivre's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    MSF wants mostly emergency, OR and midwifery type skills, but why don't you contact them and ask? Or get involve with Red Cross? Or look into clinics in your area that service refugees or migrant...

  16. Coworker (resident) is a former patient..

    tigerlogic replied to mystory's topic in Psychiatric

    Let him lead the interaction in public, but acknowledge in private that 1) you are super serious about maintaining his privacy and 2) you do, indeed, have full confidence in

  17. Acceptance into a nursing program with a low gpa (with explaination)?

    tigerlogic replied to traceemarie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some schools only look at your last 60 credits. Some look at both your cumulative and your pre-req GPA separately. The 'great life experience card' is easier to play when your pre-req grades are...

  18. Obtaining CNA license during ADN program

    tigerlogic replied to christina731's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I'm super glad I'm still working my CNA job while in school, though the time crunch is certainly a thing. I believe you just challenge the exam but it probably varies by state. At least in my area,...

  19. Value of the DNP: Worth it or not?

    tigerlogic replied to Cauliflower's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It's my impression, based on the people I know with MSNs vs DNPs that DNPs are more likely to teach and do research, perhaps in addition to clinical roles. Again, my impression is anecdotal. It is...

  20. Considering becoming a CNA?

    tigerlogic replied to MsKim's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's really good experience for nursing school but certainly not the only way to get experience. CNAs are, arguably, always underpaid for what they do, if they are doing it well. Being overworked in...

  21. What is a microbiology lab practical like?

    tigerlogic replied to bethannie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on your teacher of course but you are more likely to need to identify things from pictures or looking through microscopes. Maybe the type of stain and the result? "If you saw XYZ in lab...

  22. criminal history,accepted to nursing school??

    tigerlogic replied to smiley gal's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Contact your board of nursing. Lots of things have a 3 or 5 year "penalty." I have a friend who has a few political arrests (ie from getting arrested in demonstrations) and is doing great in nursing...

  23. How hard are the nursing programs at state schools?

    tigerlogic replied to nursegirl333's topic in General Students

    I'm in a ABSN program and there seems little correlation between number of hours people study and grades or understanding. Some people work 20+hrs a week and take care of kids. Some people do nothing...

  24. Which states hire new grads?

    tigerlogic replied to greyL's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    tigerlogic replied to PinkNBlue's topic in General Nursing

    There's a huge difference between home crafted cookies (awesome! Super thoughtful!) and a bunch of supermarket low quality sugar and lard processed cookies (probably meant well, but not actually...
