  1. Neonatal project?

    dsb_fam replied to fuyuojo's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I think that the only way your department can "grow", is by reputation. What is your reputation? Are you the NICU that I would choose for my baby? As a mother who has been in a NICU with my two...

  2. Have you blanked in an interview??

    dsb_fam replied to ProudMom511's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    dsb_fam replied to bsnbound2014's topic in Arizona Nursing

    dsb_fam replied to bsnbound2014's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You should all find out at the same time. Several instructors said they were going through applications this week, so I'd be surprised if someone had heard anything. As far as your question...

  5. interview honesty

    dsb_fam replied to picklejuice's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would chalk it up to inexperience. You are not incapable, you are just inexperienced. The frenetic pace of the ICU was beyond your current skill set and you know enough not to endanger someone's...

    dsb_fam posted a topic in General Students

    I thought it'd be fun to start a thread that could bring a smile or a chuckle. Let's post about the unexpected during nursing school or clinicals. My unexpected moment was when I was helping my 70...

    dsb_fam replied to hlsg90's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My son is hearing impaired. Here are some DOs and DONTS- Don't just walk into their room, establish that you will flash the lights to signal your entrance(this ensures privacy). Don't ask them if...

  13. Just failed 1st exam

    dsb_fam replied to freckles23's topic in General Students

    IMO the first test in a class is always the hardest. You now know what the questions are going to look like and can go from there. Also, meet with your teacher and ask if she/he has any suggestions....

  14. Statistics online???

    dsb_fam replied to bmuscles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    RUN AWAY!!!! I am an 'A' student and I struggled with the Rio Salado Stats class. It was awful. ZERO help from the instructor and the homework was lengthy and terrible. I don't think I learned a...

  15. How to give correct dosage of Lovenox

    dsb_fam replied to darajanan's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    darajanan, if the dose is 110mg and you have 120mg/0.8ml on hand, your answer should not be .73mls. You should be giving half of the 0.8mls which would be 0.4mls. I think that is where we are...

    dsb_fam replied to MommaTy's topic in General Students

    dsb_fam replied to jvanwoman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Be careful with anonymous letter about the girl cheating at the back of the room. Don't you sit by her? It would be terrible for you to get called out. Go to the professor and say that you are...

    dsb_fam posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    It's my last pre-req and my only in-progress. My GPA is 3.9, so I'm pretty solid as a student. I need an online-only Patho class and was wondering if Rio was okay or Glendale Community
