An acquaintance of mine witnessed someone having a seizure in a restaurant. She and several others jumped up to assist the woman. 911 was called. The dispatcher informed the group that help was on the way and to wait the seizure out. A woman said the...

That's what I was thinking also. They said when EMS arrived they checked and there was no pulse. But this is after they'd been doing cpr for quite some time. Could that have contributed to it?

Way too low. I'm in TN also and new grads where I'm at off around $24 with great benefits.

Where I live you can extern all year long. The best way, IMO, to find an extern position is to put the term "nurse extern" into indeed dot com and save the search. You should get email updates when new positions are posted. I'm an extern currently in...

I would call the nurse recruiter of a few hospitals and ask them to be honest with you about whether or not they're hiring ADN grads. That's what I did. I'll be finishing up my BSN shortly.

Consider me one of those new grads who will be going directly into a specialty as soon as I graduate. I know where I want to be (critical care) and I'm going straight for it. I'm lucky that I landed an internship in the CVICU in my last year of nursi...

We had an hour lunch and were free to go where we pleased.

When I did health assessment the lab manual was absolutely needed. We had to do exercises in it and rip out the pages to turn them in. So if I were you I'd ask your teacher. I had a classmate who had an older edition and she stopped using it because ...

Interesting! I don't have any advice seeing how I'm just a student, but I do appreciate you sharing your new found knowledge. I wonder what the rationale is for this? But honestly, I feel that if your job wanted to fire you, you'd be fired, not gett...

Lol. I see more bashing on this site of BSNs more than anything. Especially for pursuing a more "difficult and expensive degree" when ADNs are "better prepared clinically" and blah blah blah. I don't see why anyone has to judge another's choice at al...

Hi, I recently completed my 2nd semester of nursing school and aced this semester:woot: The one thing about finals that really sucks is the fact that you can not reveiw the questions that you got wrong along with the rationales. There was one questio...

Thanks everyone for your responses! I really appreciate you all taking out the time to help me clear this up!!

Yep. You're absolutely right! Guided imagery is for PAIN. Sheesh what was I thinking lol. But the good thing about missing questions like these is that I bet I'll never miss it again!☺️

Yes A and B were the one I was stuck on for a little bit. My thought was that the patient was becoming dyspnic r/t anxiety of the upcoming surgery you know? So calming him may relieve the anxiety. But I'm probably just looking too much into the quest...

Good job!! I think we finished up prereqs and started our programs around the same time!! It's so crazy to think we're actually DOING it, you know? Instead of just fantasizing about it. But one things for sure, I can't wait for this semester to be OV...

Since when does SouthWest have a wait list?? This must be something new...

I have two small kids and somehow managed to get all A's as well the first semester of my BSN program! I think the key is making sure you know your study habits and being serious about getting your stuff done. Time management is essential. I can not ...

Hey! I just finished my first semester and I love LSON! They are changing the classes a bit in your favor so you should have a great semester as long as you buckle down and focus on your studies! Good luck!

I know a lot of us start nursing school on Monday (8/25) so this is our very last weekend before nursing school begins! What are you doing to enjoy this last weekend? Unfortunately for me I'm quitting my job and it's my last weekend of work so I'll b...

Coming into nursing school with a 4.0 I definitely will aim for A's but will be perfectly happy with B's or C's. I always will give my best effort though, it's just in my nature. I feel like if I'm not trying my hardest I'm going to fail.

started the vital signs course today! It's awesome so far!

In this age where "unnecesareans" seem to almost be the norm doulas do what they can to help a birthing mom achieve a natural birth or at least feel in control of her birthing experience. Why do you find your doula acquaintance annoying?

Sorry for the confusion @Amari_mom1 I was actually referring to the new nursing bulding at the U of M. It will be ready Summer of 2015 :-) Southwests new nursing building looks awesome!!

It's going to be open next summer so we'll get at least 3 semesters there. It will be a nice break from walking all across that huge campus! When is your orientation?

Drove down by SWTCC the other day and saw your new nursing building... jealoussss... lol
