    Dranger replied to Jamie1985's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There could also be issues with skin integrity, pain, circulation, and infection with the amputation and previous osteomyeltitis. All possible nursing dxs. You could include amputation secondary to...

  2. Muslim nursing students

    Dranger replied to mtcowgirl's topic in General Students

    Long sleeve is an infection control issue that's why I would see it as a no go. It really is up to the clinical site standard operating procedures. Even stating a religion might not get you out of it....

  3. Muslim nursing students

    Dranger replied to mtcowgirl's topic in General Students

    I don't see why there would be a problem with the hijab, BUT the long sleeves as another person suggested could be an issue if you were looking into that as

  4. Jealous that I have no life

    Dranger replied to futurenursedd's topic in General Students

    Umm I did read the OPs post and gave several tips to avoid being overwhelmed. I am just suggesting that a lot of stress is self induced. I see this type of thread at least a couple times a week. I am...

  5. Jealous that I have no life

    Dranger replied to futurenursedd's topic in General Students

    Ok I will bite, I am not going to have a ego measuring contest with what school is harder. Nursing schools especially at the BSN level are almost all relatively the same and if it matters my school...

  6. Jealous that I have no life

    Dranger replied to futurenursedd's topic in General Students

    Your post added nothing as well, keeping the trend going. My point is people come on here and psyche each other out for NO reason. The work is manageable or we wouldn't have millions of nurses...

  7. BSN RN 6 years experience, poor GPA interested in AF nursing

    Dranger replied to coloradoRN85's topic in Government, Military

    It's typical when they are not actively recruiting hard. As you stated before the military is competitive and there isn't a huge drive by recruiters to seek out nurses especially if they don't have...

  9. What are some nursing careers that are great for a first year RN?

    Dranger replied to Medicalgirl2011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Where you can get a job. Strive for a job in acute care but not the whiny "Well that 's interesting but I really really want to be a X nurse when I graduate" attitude. You don't have that

  10. Pinning

    Dranger replied to applesxoranges's topic in General Students

    My school had them on sale for 50 bucks, needless to say I passed on that. Most of the people got the pin though. We also HAD to have some sort of pin for the ceremony, whether it was a generic pin or...

  11. Jealous that I have no life

    Dranger replied to futurenursedd's topic in General Students

  13. East Coast vs West Coast Nursing

    Dranger replied to VioletaRockos's topic in General Nursing

    Dang I literally don't care enough I would go where the opportunity is. With that being said a breath of air that isn't 100% liberal all the time ( I live near Portland Oregon) would actually be nice....

  14. East Coast vs West Coast Nursing

    Dranger replied to VioletaRockos's topic in General Nursing

    Cali nursing is one of the hardest to get into and the cost of living/taxes will kill you. I just like the west coast more

  15. Sigma Theta Tau International membership

    Dranger replied to Saab93's topic in General Students

    I always thought the memberships were a joke along with NSNA. Just more meaningless fluff. As much as I wouldn't want to, being a nurse tech at hospitals landed a lot of my friends jobs not filler...

  17. New RN Nursing Student

    Dranger replied to rubyagnes's topic in General Students

    Maybe....but as a recent college grad most of my BFA friends are literally the typical starving artists, in crappy retail management or working as baristas. You can't deny there is more opportunities...

  19. Nursing supply vs. Demand in america

    Dranger replied to byrone's topic in General Students

    Back during the beginning of the recession the media pushed and pushed the nursing field as the bastion of hope when all other job markets were crumbling. They were adamant in saying that baby boomer...

    Dranger replied to Midwest Mark's topic in General Students

    lolwut, please check your spelling and punctuation before you post and make sure you look up the definition of a nurse as well. As per your other post, how are you already in med surg clinicals at 17?...

  25. Certification (EMT or phlebotomy) before applying to ABSN programs

    Dranger replied to ElizabethH736's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Theres a big difference in doing a EMT-B program and actually working as an EMT. If you can actually get some work experience as an EMT I think that will help, just get the certification won't do...
