  1. On Call SANE 24/7

    Hi there, I had been interested in being a SANE since I worked at a doctor's office. We have very specific protocol when addressing a patient who may have been involved in a violent incident. As I...
  2. Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! To all of you seasoned entrepreneurs I have a question about experience and long term savings for a business. My background: I'm an ADN nursing student not even in...
  3. Nature's Classroom?

    I haven't worked there BUT I went there when I was 6th grade for a week and absolutely loved it. We dissected owl pellets, and my luckier friends decided pregnant pigs and sharks. We also re-enacted...
  4. IV clinics for hangovers

    I heard about the one in Las Vegas too... I think it's called Hangover
  5. My obamacare experience

    I don't know about anyone else in NY State, but right now our medical practice isn't participating in any plans offered on the Health Exchange. It sucks because so many of our patients are choosing to...
  6. The 4-Generation Gap in Nursing

    I love Medscape too! Overall I don't think the categories are bad intrinsically; it is just how nurse managers use them. What I take away from the article is how certain events - specifically in...
  7. Where do you get your books?!

    Amazon. I've always had a great experience with them. Their kindle versions of books are kind of annoying to use, though. I use chegg to supplement what I can't get at Amazon. I hate their iPad app;...
  8. I think most of what you're asking really requires you to investigate your choices a little deeply; that's not something that we can do for you. In my personal opinion you should finish your BA in...

    I got an A for Anatomy & Physiology Lectute, a B for A&P Lab, and an A for Developmental Psych = 3.9 GPA. Close
  10. Well
  11. I work at a major medical office where we just had training about the ACA. Most, if not all of what the OP wrote down is factual. Also, personally I think it benefits all of us nurses to be well...
  12. How do you pay for School

    I work part time at a doctors office and have financial aid. Next semester I'm applying for a scholarship. I also joined the NSNA (National Student Nurses Association) - they have different...
  13. I think this has been the highlight of the semester for me... hahaha A couple of my classmates and I were finishing our second round of dissections, which - if you haven't realized by now - is my...
  14. @ HouTx Wow what a great opportunity! I wonder is the dissection and study of human cadavers available to those who obtain their NP? I didn't think so since I never saw it mentioned. I suppose it...
  15. A&P 1

    I was little more relaxed with my studying; but what it comes down to is knowing two things: 1: What is your learning style? Do you find yourself understanding things better when it's visual or does...
  16. Hi Harrid, Passionflower pretty much hit the nail on the head. Right now I'm taking pre-requisites. Next semester I have clinicals and at that point, I will begin to understand if I have what it...
  17. Nursing Entrepreneurs

    Great article! Thank
  18. Wow thanks so much for the great advice! I truly appreciate the positive feedback and will definitely use it to navigate my career. I think my major issues right now are how to blend so many of my...
  19. Thank you very much! I really needed that to fuel the fire. I may have a speaking gig lined in the next couple of weeks and next month Now I'm working on a website to get things moving! Thanks again...
  20. Working while in nursing school.

    I'm currently going through a similar situation and decide whether I'm going to work while in nursing school. I'm currently going through my pre-reqs but next semester starts nursing core courses and...
  21. Nursing is nothing like a hotdog

    I love stories like this one makes so excited for clinicals! Thank
  22. 4.0 Challenge!

    About one month in, I got 106% on my first AP 1 exam. I don't get graded in development psych yet so we'll
  23. Swedish Institute?

    Thanks genaluvya I responded back. Moya, I believe it's already been established that the institute has candidacy status but is not accredited. It only has national accreditation, which I believe...

  25. Does Nursing School=No Life Literally?

    For me, I don't have too much of a normal life for several reasons: 1) I like to absorb what I study, not just read what I need to pass the tests to get through school. Regardless of the GPA and...
