  1. SIDS Pediatric Code

    Bobmo88 replied to harrird's topic in Emergency

    I may not be a nurse yet but I have had my fair share of pediatric codes working as an ER Tech. When I read this I was reminded of a particular code where the patient had been seen in our ER the day...

  2. Volunteering at hospital?

    Bobmo88 replied to jglover4168's topic in General Students

    I think it is a great idea. I wanted to be sure that nursing was the career for me so I volunteered at a local hospital. I rotated through many different departments, got comfortable in the hospital...

  3. Nursing & Spanish

    Bobmo88 replied to inthespotlight7o's topic in General Students

    I think if you can fit the classes in your schedule, go for it! I got my first Bachelor's in Spanish but unfortunately my school didn't offer medical terminology or interpreting classes so I had to...

  4. Do you keep your personal life private while in nursing school?

    Bobmo88 replied to Kadambari's topic in General Students

    I just started nursing school and we had to introduce ourselves to each other on the first day of class. It was interesting to hear about others' background. I don't mind sharing my personal life with...

  5. There is always one..

    Bobmo88 replied to wbrown06's topic in General Students

    I just had my first day of nursing school on Wednesday but we just went over the syllabus and introduced ourselves to everyone so we haven't had lecture yet. Hopefully everyone is mindful of the...

  6. Finally got my head on straight!

    Bobmo88 replied to patty89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I graduated high school in 2006 and am barely about to start nursing school today. I applied to an ADN program at my local community college at the beginning of 2009 and was on the wait list for a...

  7. What is Your School's Selection Rate?

    Bobmo88 replied to Clodhopper's topic in General Students

    My school is 1 of 3 nursing schools in the county and the only BSN program. For my class, over 400 people applied for 44 spots and in the past they only had 33 spots and still around the same amount...

  8. Nursing school and working

    Bobmo88 replied to mcguenzi's topic in General Students

    I work per-diem tech and I thought a part-time position was going to open up at my work since my coworker got hired as an RN but it's actually a full time position. I start a 3 year (including...

  9. What's in your pocket - ER Style

    Bobmo88 replied to Frizbeeboy's topic in Emergency

    I wear aviator scrubs so there are a lot of cargo pockets in addition to a back pocket and side pockets like regular pants. Back pocket: Wallet Side pockets: Keys and phone Left Cargo Pocket:...

  10. Are people less likely to congratulate older or younger students for getting into RN?

    Bobmo88 replied to Kadambari's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would think that it doesn't matter so much the age of someone who gets accepted to a nursing program because I would personally congratulate anyone who got accepted. I would get so much praise from...

  11. Are these sneakers acceptable for nursing school?

    Bobmo88 replied to 369XYZ's topic in General Students

    I think the mesh would allow bodily fluids to soak through but see what your program says. Here is a link to all of the white shoes on Eastbay.com for Women just in case your program doesn't accept...

  12. Be Careful When Posting

    Bobmo88 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    Excellent point! My hospital has made it clear that no PHI may be divulged over social media. I hardly post anything about work but it is usually something very vague like "busy shift" or "day 2 of 3...

  13. Day or Night shift the..Pros and Cons

    Bobmo88 replied to Beautifulvirgo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No prob Beautifulvirgo, I do not have kids or a significant other right now so that is something I don't have to worry about for the moment. Depending on what kind of schedule you have, staying up...

  14. What are my chances??

    Bobmo88 replied to acceptmealready's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! I was never told I was an alternate but I was initially denied admission to my program but a spot opened up when other candidates declined admission so I got in! I start school in less than...

  15. Day or Night shift the..Pros and Cons

    Bobmo88 replied to Beautifulvirgo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally prefer night shift because of the people I work with, less administrators are around, and the night differential. Another thing I like about night shift is that, at least on an average...

  16. Hobbies that keep your soul alive?

    Bobmo88 replied to TrinidadStudent's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I start nursing school in 3 weeks but the things I like to do to unwind from my job as an ER Tech: running playing basketball hitting the heavy bag golfing listening to music drinking beer and tequila...

  17. My acceptance letter..

    Bobmo88 replied to jasilady's topic in General Students

    Congrats!

  18. Applying to BOTH nursing and physician assistant programs?

    Bobmo88 replied to Jzuri91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd say look into what the differences are between PA and NP in your state or the state where you would like to practice because it does vary. Just focus on trying to get your grades up and then worry...

  19. Scrubs, Anyone?

    Bobmo88 replied to Clodhopper's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I don't know if you are able to choose the brand for your nursing school uniform but I would recommend Aviator scrubs. They are a little more pricey than other brands but they are high quality. The...

    Bobmo88 replied to windmill182's topic in General Students

    I start my first class for nursing school 3 weeks and I cannot wait! Thank you for the

  21. Working night shift, difficulty sleeping during the day!

    Bobmo88 replied to gloryfied's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I am per-diem ER Tech so I usually work night shifts and I think the hardest part is the first shift after days off. Before work: If I wake up early in the day, I'll try to do some physical activity...

    Bobmo88 replied to spindash's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  24. How long is your commute to nursing school?

    Bobmo88 replied to BlueChocolateCat's topic in General Students

    I haven't started school yet but it takes me about 35-45 minutes to get to school depending on traffic. We'll see what the parking situation is like when school starts

    Bobmo88 replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    My school has two days. We had one back in May where we went over the program's policies, the required immunizations, background checks etc. We also have another orientation day in two weeks which...
