  1. Waiting on results...

    WoundedBird replied to Cortney2013's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I had to wait in Ohio. I can't remember exactly how long, but there was a delay. Only good thing was that I got both my results and my state issued card in the same

  2. Rhabdomyolysis

    WoundedBird replied to julz68's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks CodeteamB for the

  3. Rhabdomyolysis

    WoundedBird replied to julz68's topic in General Nursing

    It can also been seen in athletes who train too hard (there was a college FB program a few years back that made the news). Also, I'm thinking that severe trauma can lead to rhabdo but I'm not 100%...

  4. Know of a good afternoon workout for a new 7a-3p RN?

    WoundedBird replied to itsdebraanne's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm a huge fan of spinning. I've found out that I can get a better workout when I choose the music and the type of workout I want instead of following an instructor. I also don't feel bad when I can...

  5. Metro State College Denver ANO program

    WoundedBird replied to Wendilee's topic in Colorado Nursing

    It is with a bunch of different tracks like FNP, peds NP, psych/mental health NP, CNL, etc. I had a 4.0 in the pre-reqs, 3.2 from undergrad that improved bc of the pre-reqs and other classes I took...

  6. Metro State College Denver ANO program

    WoundedBird replied to Wendilee's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Grad entry MS at Ohio State. We actually found out we were moving after I had applied. If I had gotten in, I would have moved back to Denver and the hubbs would have stayed wherever he landed a...

  7. Tablet for note taking?

    WoundedBird replied to DaisyRenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm still playing around with apps, but moxtra is a free app on the iPad that might be able to handle power points and there is a record button on the top of the screen that records audio into that...

  8. Metro State College Denver ANO program

    WoundedBird replied to Wendilee's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I applied for the winter 2012 start with As in all of the pre-reqs with the exception of the cultural one which I had a C in but explained that I was sick the entire term with mono but did not...

  9. Any tips or tricks for pathophysiology?

    WoundedBird replied to donk's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I second the coloring book. It's a relaxing way to study without it feeling dry. I used the anatomy one to prep for another allied health board exam and I believe it helped me pass on my first...

  10. Advice on grad school route

    WoundedBird replied to number41's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm starting at Ohio State next month, so there are some things I'm not rock solid on just yet. (Orientation gave us enough info to survive our first week of classes) I think only our acute NP need to...

  11. MSN direct entry/CNL/NP questions

    WoundedBird replied to neatblue's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Glad I could provide some helpful views and I wish I had all the answers about life after nursing school as a CNL for both of us! I just went through my orientation and most of what was covered was...

  12. Advice on grad school route

    WoundedBird replied to number41's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm not sure about other programs, but in my CNL program, I can come back for a post-masters certificate if I want to become an NP. From what I understand, I would have to take the specialty courses I...

  13. MSN direct entry/CNL/NP questions

    WoundedBird replied to neatblue's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I do plan on being at the bedside at the completion of my CNL program because my ultimate career goal is to be a flight nurse which does require critical care or emergency department experience before...

  14. Coursera - The Science of Safety in Healthcare

    WoundedBird replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for mentioning this. Found a few courses that I'm going to try for supplemental information as I begin my grad entry program

  15. Weight Gain in Nursing school?!!!

    WoundedBird replied to hunnybunches's topic in General Students

    I make my own bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches ahead of time and just heat them up when I get to school. I'm also a huge fan of yogurts and nut-based snacks. Emerald makes grab bags of fruit and nut...

  16. MSN direct entry/CNL/NP questions

    WoundedBird replied to neatblue's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm starting a grad entry CNL program in a month and here's why I chose the CNL focus when applying. I have a background in sports medicine at the high school level and a strong desire / passion /...

  17. What's on your study desk?

    WoundedBird replied to 2LMNOP's topic in General Students

    I'm using our dining room table since the hubbs works from home on occasion. Currently it's covered in books for donation, winter coats, and has an old window propped up on it. What it's going to look...

  18. iPad mini and macbook air?

    WoundedBird replied to MommaTy's topic in General Students

    I agree with looking into the iWork suite. One of the things that I liked was that it was cheaper than office and the different slide options for PowerPoint helped to keep death by ppt to as much of a...

  19. Which Dansko shoe is better?

    WoundedBird replied to daisy-mae's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Nope, just the XPs are slip resistant. They have a rubbery sole like a sneaker with a different

  20. Had nursing school orientation part 1 today...excited :)

    WoundedBird replied to SopranoKris's topic in General Students

    My official orientation is next Thursday and Friday and I'm beyond excited!! And I can't believe how fast the past six months have flown by since I was accepted. Before I know it December '15 will be...

  21. Which Dansko shoe is better?

    WoundedBird replied to daisy-mae's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    If you're concerned with fluids, I'd suggest looking into the XP line because they have the slip resistant soles. They are a teeny bit more expensive than the plain Professional ones, but worth it....

  22. If you have a bad left shoulder, is being a CNA an option?

    WoundedBird replied to pmabraham's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you haven't already started treating with NSAIDs and either ice or heat (depending on if this is an acute flare up or a chronic issue) I would highly encourage it. The next thing to consider is...

  23. Anybody remember this

    WoundedBird replied to prmenrs's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I've used it for hydration checks on our HS wrestlers during their weight certifications at the start of the season. If you're dehydrated, your weight isn't certified that day. It was a great way to...

  24. Nursing Program Length

    WoundedBird replied to FutureNursing's topic in General Students

    My track in a grad entry MSN program is 2.5 years start to finish. All grad entry students have the first year together, take the NCLEX, and then we go onto our specific MS focus which is 1.5-2

  25. Thinking about joining the military as a nurse

    WoundedBird replied to mikealty's topic in Government, Military

    Just like you mentioned about your cousin not having a lot of say, here's what happened to my husband while he was in the Air Force: his 'wish list' contained specific bases in Europe for the first 3...
