    Nurse-Midwife Goal: Where to start?

    Irish_Mist replied to Sconner6's topic in General Students

    I agree with the other posters. Apply to Labor and Delivery positions if your ultimate goal is to be a CNM. If your heart is in ob, chances are, you won't be happy or fulfilled in the

    Unhealthy habits/Facebook posts from friends/family that make you :( ?

    Irish_Mist replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure your friend with diabetes knows by now that her lifestyle choices are not good. She is an adult. Let her deal with the consequences. The five year old child who is morbidly obese and being...

    How did you decide your specialty?

    Irish_Mist posted a topic in General Nursing

    A little background information: I am a second degree BSN student and I graduate in December of this year. I have been thinking a lot about what kind of jobs to apply for since graduation is around...

    Parameters and trends

    Irish_Mist replied to EmxoRenee's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you have the money to spend, download the skyscape application on your phone and get the Davis Drug Guide and Intravenous Medication Guide. Skyscape Labs is also helpful. This was a required...

    Would you give up a great federal job to pursue a nursing degree

    Irish_Mist replied to Divalish918's topic in General Students

    Honestly, if you love your job, stay with it. You don't know if you will love nursing plus you have many obligations. It does not sound fiscally responsible or wise to quit a stable job and live off...

    Get my adn or lpn? Newbie here

    Irish_Mist replied to AutumnFutureNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My two cents: Skip the LVN/LPN route and go straight for an ADN or BSN program. More opportunities and more money. Stay away from the for profit schools charging enormous tuition. Many aren't...

    To tell or not to tell?

    Irish_Mist replied to nursingRN123's topic in General Students

    How about worrying about your own studies rather than what your classmates are doing. It sounds like you want them to get in trouble because because they "didn't work as hard as you" and are painting...

    Am I "late"? 22 yrs old starting prereq Jan

    Irish_Mist replied to Aedyl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Then you'd be super embarrassed if you were me. I just graduated from an accelerated BSN at the age of 28. You're 22. You have your whole life ahead of you. Relax and enjoy yourself. It looks like...

    HELP! BS degree, trouble with accelerated BSN programs

    Could you apply to an accelerated BSN program that does not require the TEAS? Some of them require the HESI instead. Are you open to

    Depressed after nursing school

    Irish_Mist replied to Irish_Mist's topic in General Nursing

    I think that's exactly my problem. Everything was go, go, go. I had no time for much of anything other than school and two twelve hour night shift clinicals per week. Now, that has all come to a...

    What % of women don't know basics of female anatomy?

    Irish_Mist replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    You had medical professionals outraged by a scientifically correct representation of female anatomy? Wow! Anatomy is not shameful. At my ObGyn's office, she had graphics like this in each room which...

    No, this is not a representation of nursing or all nursing programs. My cohort was nothing like this. Not even close. Keep your head in the game and focus on your studies. You are there for one sole...

    Dismissed from nursing program, HELP

    Irish_Mist replied to pachecko's topic in General Students

    I don't know of any specific schools that let students in that have been previously dismissed. Your best bet is to research schools and determine if previously failing out of nursing school will...

    Dr. told patient, "Nurses are STUPID".

    Irish_Mist replied to Daetwin2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This behavior is unacceptable for two reasons. One, it is showing a lack of respect for colleagues. Two, it jeopardizes the confidence patients have in their nurses. This patient was either completely...

    Made a big med error as a student... i'm devastated.

    Irish_Mist replied to FuturePN's topic in General Students

    Just be glad you made a med error as a student rather than a licensed nurse. This might not win me a popularity contest here but I also feel that whoever was supervising you is also at fault. Where I...
