  3. University of Wisconsin- Madison for RN to BSN??

    rafv replied to lyndseym's topic in General Students

    I have heard great things about UW Madison and contacted admissions for information. I was told that the online RN to BSN program is only for residents of Wisconsin (I'm in Illinois).... Looking for...

  5. T minus 39 days til nursing school starts!!!!

    rafv replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

    I wish that we did not have summers off. Gives me time to realize how much I hate nursing school. I don't hate the career choice; just the school aspect. One more semester and then on to nclex. Cannot...

  6. Phlebotomy Class Worth It?

    rafv replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    Absolutely boosts confidence, though, to have the phlebotomy experience. I say go for it! How can extra knowledge and experience hurt? Good

  7. Starting Nursing classes in the Fall...

    rafv replied to doxielover304's topic in General Students

    1) Cardiology: tests were completely unrelated to the lecture content, in my opinion. Content itself was good. 2) I admit to being a slacker when it comes to studying. I pay attention in class,...

    rafv replied to hawksrn2014's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Just because he was NPO does not mean he wouldn't be getting fluids.... Good luck to you. I absolutely hate care

  9. Any "tools" you love?

    rafv posted a topic in General Students

    Hi all! I am in my third semester of a 4 semester ADN program. Just wondering if anybody has any invaluable tools they would recommend? I found a foldable clipboard online but not sure it would fit...

  10. Any "tools" you love?

    rafv replied to rafv's topic in General Students

    I can certainly see how that's true! The rotations I thought I'd love (OB/peds), I absolutely did not enjoy. Liked med surg but am loving cadiac so far. We'll see.... Still have oncology and neuro...

  11. Reconstitution math

    rafv replied to Jessiey416's topic in General Students

    Haven't done reconstitution yet, either, but wouldn't it be 500mg/8ml = 62.5mg/ml? Then for 100mg, divide by 62.5mg/ml and get 1.6ml? Did this without a calculator in front of me and without having...

  13. Any "tools" you love?

    rafv replied to rafv's topic in General Students

    Dah doh, how do you like ccu? How long were you in med surg? Which do you like better? I know, off on a tangent...

  14. Nursing school not for me?

    rafv replied to Mcriss8's topic in General Students

    Hi there! I would estimate that at least 85% of my entire class has at one time or another doubted his or her decision. A friend of mine and I debate returning at the start of each semester! Into...

  15. Volunteering Job problems. I would really like some advice.

    rafv replied to futuresctRN's topic in General Students

    I am so sorry for you! While I have not been in your position, I can most definitely say your experience is not what it is supposed to be. I would be very candid with the coordinator, and I would...

  16. Class of 2013 stand up:-)

    rafv replied to BBRANRN2013's topic in General Students

    December 13, 2013. I actually like school (second career, so had been out of school for some time before returning). I think I'll miss it (well, not all of it!). Graduation will be here before we...

  17. Any "tools" you love?

    rafv replied to rafv's topic in General Students

    I, too, have a clipboard in which I can store things. My only issue is that I never quite know where to put it when I go into a patient's room. Thanks so much for all of the great ideas; what a...

  22. Must Have Nursing Books

    rafv replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    I love the ridiculously easy series. I don't rely on them for the bulk of my learning, but they augment the information from the texts in a great way. Definitely recommend. Good

  24. Any "tools" you love?

    rafv replied to rafv's topic in General Students

    No opinions on the foldable clipboard....? What about EKG calipers? I've been reading some reviews, and the reviews seem to revolve around the plastic cover staying on. Thoughts? Thanks in...

    rafv replied to danceyrun's topic in General Students
