  1. Aspiring Nurse

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

    That's really strange, in my school and many others that I know of, those taking prerequisites for nursing can either declare themselves a Pre nursing major or general education major. Getting...

  2. Aspiring Nurse

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

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Alaynalee's topic in Nursing Career

    That depends. The job that in demand in your area you might hate. What if there is a large geriatric population and the job to get is geriatric NP? Besides, job demand is local and fluctuates. I plan...

  5. Idea for help with my PAX exam

    AspiringNurseMW replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Students

    Personally, the PAX covers way too much range in science for a tutor to be beneficial. Literally it covers bio, chemistry, basic A&P, and physics. I would make sure you understand the basic...

  7. I didn't get into Nursing School!! Help!!

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Jordan1927's topic in General Students

    Id rather a person wait and go to school in their 30's, 40's or 50's and take it seriously and be committed than to go to nursing school at a young age just because. The average age of a nursing...

  8. Path to CNM

    AspiringNurseMW replied to strawberrycupcakes's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Absolutely 100% with you there. I've given myself permission to like working L&D. In fact, I'm quite hesitant to go straight through with school. I wouldn't mind taking a year or 2 off from the...

  10. Care Plans in General

    AspiringNurseMW replied to juardsrn's topic in General Students

    Well, those guidelines aren't bad. My 2nd clinical instructor liked to align our care plans with lecture. So if we covered infection or pain in class, that week she would say to try and make the goal...

  11. Care Plans in General

    AspiringNurseMW replied to juardsrn's topic in General Students

    Ouch! Our school is pretty laid back about care plans. We have to complete a MAP with at least 5 to 6 nursing diagnosis with related to and as evidence by statement. We only need to write out ONE...

  12. Community College nursing classes

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Dgardella's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It depends on the school. In mine, you could technically take all those general electives mixed in with nursing classes. I myself take 1 general ed course with my nursing classes. However, it's...

  14. Should I quit without exp?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to pingpong101's topic in General Nursing

    What about looking out of state? Get out of your comfort zone. There are areas that hire and sometimes with a sign on bonus or relocation

  15. dumb question

    AspiringNurseMW replied to wooten3955's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing student here too. During clinicals most nurses seem to do them after receiving report, maybe while doing thir first med pass. When there is a change, the assessment is usually focused on that...

  17. Is this a standard requirement?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mu program goes by semester. 1st semester you can get 4 wrong, 2nd semester 2 wrong. My 2nd year, you need 100%. However we don't right away start with EVERYTHING. 1st semester was basically...

  19. What would you do in this situation?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to nurseintraining222's topic in General Nursing

    I would leave it be. If your boss told you that she has credentials, then that's that. You would not be held liable because you believed your boss. Unless you are her direct supervisor (from your...

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

    Been a while since I posted! Just got back from spring break, which felt very long for some reason (for which I am grateful!). OB was pretty great. Being the birth nerd that I am I did fairly well...

  21. NP gave meds to her married boyfriend

    AspiringNurseMW replied to SummerRoses's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    So you created an account just to see how much more trouble she could get in? Why? What does it matter to you if you are no longer married (which by the way was NOT indicated at all in your original...

  22. Disturbing things that I heard Dr.s say in the Labor room

    AspiringNurseMW replied to mamagui's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Ditto! I am also part of l&d Facebook group, and it really saddens me when some nurses or doulas post something ridiculous a doctor told a patient (secondhand, not witness) and their first...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Well this discussion isn't about charting FOR a nurse, it's about charting YOUR assessments as a student and any procedures you may have done. If I do a head to toe assessment on my patient, then...
