  1. It's about that time... (Precepting)

    green34 replied to Jinx322's topic in General Students

    I would be shocked if they hired you straight into peds. Be prepared to work in a med-surg type floor for a bit. I would see which one can get you into a peds

  2. PDA, iPod Touch, & iPhone policy at UTHSC Houston SON

    green34 replied to mykel_jm's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't bother with buying one specially for nursing school but then you may be able to write it off as a school expense. I don't know how the laws work in that matter. Using my cellphone at work...

  3. Odd ER visit

    green34 replied to inshallamiami's topic in Emergency

    Are you sure there are only 3 other patients in the ER? How do you know they just didn't discharge a bunch of patients? How do you know they weren't waiting for a helicopter or a mobile unit to come...

  4. Question about nursing books

    green34 replied to StayHumble11's topic in General Students

    What our instructors say is that it is fine if you use an older book but all information comes from the newer edition. Meaning if they change a single thing from the old edition and you base an answer...

  5. wearing nurse memorabilia before becoming a nurse?

    green34 replied to richardgecko's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't want other people to know that I am a paramedic outside of work or a call and when I am a nurse, I won't want them to know either. As nice as it is, you really don't want people to expect...

  6. In the middle of summer break... 2 semesters left

    green34 replied to MilliePieRN's topic in General Students

    I am more stressed about the six week classes and scheduling work and the preceptorship. At least my preceptorship is in the same hospital on third shift so meeting with them may be easier. (Hey!...

  7. Forceful opinions

    green34 replied to mmcc26's topic in General Students

    I had an exhoyfriend's mom who was very opinated about things but that was her personality. She seemed like I should know exactly where I should want to work in or specialize in right away, which I...

  8. Allheart.org

    green34 posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Does anyone else have issues getting supplies from them? The first time I ordered scrubs from them I had issues receiving them. It took about 1 month for two pieces of the order to be sent and then an...

  9. Allheart.org

    green34 replied to green34's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I must have had bad luck then. None of the items said back ordered till at least a week later. I even pulled up my confirmation

  10. Lab coats

    green34 replied to rse3's topic in General Students

    We have them but I have never seen anyone wear one nor know anyone who ordered them. I see instructors with them. Some nurses will wear them in the ER because it's

  11. Already accepted into a nursing program, should I get my CNA license anyway?

    green34 replied to Catlover0415's topic in General Students

    No. I would look at all the jobs that hospitals offer. I work as a unit clerk/paramedic but I pull more shifts as a paramedic even though my hours are only budgeted as unit clerk due to people calling...

  12. What Chemistry class did you guys take for prenursing? I took biochem?

    green34 replied to starter12345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We needed high school chem but I am taking a general entry level chem for OU. It sucks because the teacher doesn't have exp teaching

  13. Starting the RN program next month have any suggestions to start studying

    green34 replied to Chance SNRN's topic in General Students

    Email your instructor if you know and ask them for a copy of the syllabus. Start reading the chapters

  14. If you could "do over" one thing about nursing school, what would it be?

    green34 replied to justjohn's topic in General Students

    I would have reconsidered working as much as I did. Money is nice, but it makes it a lot

  15. Pretend Patient

    green34 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    We need to make a pretend patient for a class. It can be over any adult patient we want or one we make up. Basically we would talk about the patient and see what course of treatment we would do. I was...

  16. Thought I would have a job by now. Getting depressed

    green34 replied to SWRNUSA's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would also consider looking over your resume and see if other people can find things with it where you can

  17. Prerequisite advice please!

    green34 replied to Sashaaa7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mix them with other pre-reqs. Like take an English and a psych class on top of a biology. I don't recommend taking two sciences at the same time if you can avoid

  18. CNA while in school

    green34 replied to RNstudent13renee's topic in General Students

    Look at most of the jobs posted and see if you qualify for any. You may not get a CNA job, but you may get a unit clerk job where you are in a hospital and you'd work closely with doctors and nurses...

  19. The end is near... Yay!!!

    green34 replied to aachavez's topic in General Students

    And I thought December was really close! Congrats and it will be over

  20. Stethoscope Watch

    green34 posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Has anyone used them? I hate using my watch so I usually use the nurse on a stick when I take vitals or the clock on the wall. One concern is that the clicking may go through the stethoscope tube....

  21. Getting bored!!

    green34 replied to Annachu512's topic in General Students

    I think summer is going by too

  22. north pay better than south

    green34 replied to twinner05's topic in General Students

    Honestly? I live north but also in the midwest. We do not get paid that much more. We only start out a few dollars more per hour. The starting hourly rate is around 24 dollars and 20 dollars if you go...

  23. Opinion on your uniforms?

    green34 replied to green34's topic in General Students

    Yeah the prices are bad. Our school has started a recycling program where students can donate their old scrub tops and future students can buy them cheaper. I don't know why, they look pretty bad. I...

  24. Mental Health Nursing

    green34 replied to idani's topic in General Students

    Mental health sucked for us, but that may have been more the teacher. Anyway, I studied by getting RN mental health nursing study books with rationales. I also read our textbook. I would look through...

  25. School supplies ???

    green34 replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

    Honestly? I think people over think nursing school. For office supplies, some people keep binders but I don't. I ask for electronic copies of the powerpoints and most teachers are willing to post them...
