  1. luzerne county community college

    AspiringNurseMW replied to jennifer0219's topic in School, College Programs

    I think it's somewhere in the directions for applying. If you are done with core classes I suggest you work on classes you'd need for your BSN next semester. Things like history, art, statistics, etc....

  2. Where did you start working right after getting your RN license?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to xmilkncookiesx's topic in General Nursing

    Right? I only just finished fundamentals. Half at LTC and half at medsurg. I'd be more terrified of LTC. So much responsibility, so little

  6. Tattoos in Nursing School

    AspiringNurseMW replied to BBboy's topic in General Students

    Simple matter of priorities. Are you so set on getting a tattoo right now that you'd risk nursing school. There is no room for interpretation. So either get a tattoo in another area that's not...

  7. New to nursing field - got fired after 2 months

    AspiringNurseMW replied to lifeisgood2012's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm sorry but what? What kind of ADN programs are you familiar with? And regardless of the type of program a new grad has only so many opportunities to practice these skills, that depends more on the...

  8. Do nurses spend more of their times in table rather than in patient side?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to chadvena's topic in General Nursing

    I do see the nurses spend alot of time charting. But part of my clinical experience required us to do SOME charting of my patients only once a day. Now multiply that by 4-7 patients and having to...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    AspiringNurseMW replied to remotefuse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow. That sucks. I'm sooo grateful for my experience this semester (Fundamentals). My clinical group of 8 students was pretty awesome. I think because a) we are assigned to a patient and expect our...

  13. Are Kaplan Integrated Tests As Horrible As Other Students Are Making Them Seem?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Purple_roses's topic in General Students

    Absolutely using the Kaplan website helps for taking the test. I don't know about grades because it's not part of ours, we just have to remediate for either an hour or two. The Kaplan test I took for...

  14. Nursing Student Peers Who Want to Mooch

    AspiringNurseMW replied to katiejames7878's topic in General Students

    I'm not saying you shouldn't, you have every right not to, just offering my experience. I share my notes freely. I think in part because a big way I learn is by teaching others, and I now purposely...

  15. Is chemistry important to become a nurse?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to strawberryluv's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ehhh. I'm not a nurse. But I'm a first semester nursing student. My nursing program does not require college level chemistry to get into or graduate the nursing program, and I understand why. I...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Mindylane's topic in General Students

    Thank you! I'm lucky enough to live in an area where nursing jobs are in ample supply, even in hospitals. Regardless, I plan to do my RN to BSN

  20. How to use nursing process to identify diagnosis?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to ital91's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What about labs, the rest of your assessment, patient medications? What about psycho social and emotional status? . What about when your patients goes home and any patient teaching your patient may...

  21. Husband just got into ASN program -- should he pursue it?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Mindylane's topic in General Students

    Well, I'm in an ADN program and plan to bridge WHILE I work as a new grad. Is that not a possibility, even if it means working outside of the hospital. He could work home health or LTC while he works...

  23. 11/7: what I learned this week: Trey Anastasio wants to weigh your head; Cerner is stupid

    AspiringNurseMW replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that students from my school cannot do BG checks. Why? Apparently a hospital wanted to charge $50/student/semester just for that. So now no one gets to do them. Yes! The more interesting...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to lieutenant dan's topic in General Students

    It gets better. While I know and appreciate my first 6 weeks of clinicals were at long term care, by the 3rd week I was getting bored. No way you could tell from the care I gave, but boring...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to shantelmorgan's topic in General Students

    I chose to go to school while they are still young (4.5 and 2). It's temporary, I'll be able to support them better, and they won't remember much when they are older about this time frame. I also...
