  1. Nurses are Not Doctors

    ToyaB replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    NPs are just as competent as Physicians. Docs are feeling threatened where there is truly no need. They don't want people to confuse and NP for an MD, but the fact is that NPs are proud to be NP and...

  3. Nursing student survival tips

    ToyaB replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    Just get organized. Set aside time to study and time to do all of your other stuff. Don't let people tell you it's hard because truth be told, IT'S ACTUALLY NOT!! I know some heads are going to spin...

  4. Nursing students and immaturity

    ToyaB replied to Melanin's topic in General Students

    I think the appropriate action in this is to talk to the boys first. Some people are just idiotic. They don't think about how the things they say out of their mouths affect other people. They sound...

  5. Nurse Extern?? What's that about?

    ToyaB posted a topic in General Students

    Hey All! I'm going to be entering my nursing program this fall and I may or may not have to work the first semester, but eventually I'm going to have to work during nursing school. The university I'm...

  6. What did/do you dissect in A&P lab?

    ToyaB replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I dissected a cow's eye, an animal heart (unsure which animal), and fetal pigs. OMG cadavers in A&P?? How did you guys deal with that? Anyone faint?? LOL! I dont think I would have been prepared...

  7. Nursing school IS rigorous

    ToyaB replied to sjalv's topic in General Students

    I am taking the entire week next week to prepare myself mentally for this. I got through my prerequisites with As and Bs-- mainly As-- without much studying. I would go to class, listen, do the...

  8. Pool & Staff Nurse??

    ToyaB replied to ToyaB's topic in General Students

    I hope whereever I end up has a system like that. That sounds ideal for sure. I like the idea of being able to look and see what's open. I'm not such a fan of recieving calls because I'd probably say...

  9. Pool & Staff Nurse??

    ToyaB posted a topic in General Students

    Hey All! I'm just entering my nursing program and learning different terms and positions. I was wondering if it were possible to be both a staff nurse and a pool nurse. I mean, it sounds plausible. If...

  10. Nurse Extern?? What's that about?

    ToyaB replied to ToyaB's topic in General Students

    " I got $14/hr + shift differential, and my schedule was every other weekend, unless I wanted more. It often felt like the true educational aspects of the program were lost while I was running around...

  11. Pool & Staff Nurse??

    ToyaB replied to ToyaB's topic in General Students

    Thanks for responding guys! ChristineN, I'm not necessarily interested in being a pool nurse per say. My thoughts are OVERTIME!!. Of course I'd like to be a staff nurse because I'd want standard...

  12. OMG!! It's almost time! How Should I Prepare!!??

    ToyaB posted a topic in General Students

    I am entering my nursing program this fall- in a month actually... and I am, in a few words... TOTALLY FREAKING OUT!!! I don't know what I should be doing at this point! I have completed all of my...

  13. What do you say when you answer a call light at the nurses station?

    ToyaB replied to bbeg28's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    One idea-- on top of telling a patient that you will inform their nurse/aide would be to have a way of following up with the patient in 5-15mins to update them if there nurse/aide has not been in to...

    ToyaB replied to driven2012's topic in General Students

    Not religious honey, relational... but fingers crossed or on your knees, you get yours how you get it. Don't be afraid of a little spontaneous praise! You just may not know Him like I

  15. 2013-2014 HRSA Nursing Scholarship Program

    ToyaB replied to driven2012's topic in General Students

    I'm still under review so I'll take that as a good sign, but if I don't get this, God will still provide. While this would be pretty awesome if I did get it:yeah:, if i don't... I'm STILL going to be...

  16. When do your fall classes start?

    ToyaB replied to destrier's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lol! You sound like me! I start on the 3rd and I fell like I'm going insane waiting! Just open your window and let out a good shout! That MIGHT take the edge off. LOL! We'll get there...

  18. OMG!! It's almost time! How Should I Prepare!!??

    ToyaB replied to ToyaB's topic in General Students

    You know this is true. I've been reading some of my book and while it's not like I don't understand what's being said, I do, but without knowing the true application and putting it into action, it's...

  19. What do you think of 12 hour shifts?

    ToyaB replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I don't think I would necessarily mind the 12hr shift. I think it all depends on what's going on in your life. I have two young kids, but I don't think three days of seeing me for only a couple hours...

  20. How many work and go to nursing school?

    ToyaB replied to jarielle22's topic in General Students

    It all depends on you. Personally, if I were in your situation, I would at least cut my hours back. If being a nurse is your ultimate goal and money is not a factor for you, why add the extra strain?...

  21. Backpack for nursing school?

    ToyaB replied to Lollipops's topic in General Students

    So the way my program does their lessons, our books will be for at home reading only, so I have a cute tote that can hold a book or two if necessary, but it's mainly to hold my clinical gear. I'm glad...
