  1. Volunteering at a hospital worth it?

    seconddegreebsn replied to samrusrn's topic in General Students

    Wow, my experience volunteering is a lot different than everyone elses. I was in an ER speaking with patients to see if they were satisfied with thier care (customer satisfaction is a HUGE thing in...

    seconddegreebsn replied to sesiliachan's topic in General Students

    I am doing an externship (along w/ 200+ volunteer hours) becuase my school woefully underprepared me clinically - it might be good to talk with current students and see how they felt about their...

    seconddegreebsn replied to gwenzilla's topic in New York Nursing

    I did my prereqs at Hunter, and what the above poster said about the science classes being no joke is absolutely true. If you look at the Hunter posts on this board, you'll see that most of the people...

  10. Curvy scrubs, small waist, large hips

    seconddegreebsn replied to Counselort's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm large in the hips and TALL, which adds to the problem - anyone know of a brand that makes a top that is larger in the hips and a couple inches

  11. Uniform Inspection

    seconddegreebsn replied to saraCOS's topic in General Students

    I should have clarified - They weren't full lace - they were boyshorts that had a very small amount of trim at the top, pretty much the most modest pair of underwear I could find short of the ones...

  12. Nursing Student Business Cards

    seconddegreebsn replied to Pancake86's topic in General Students

    I have them and people like them - they're less likely to lose a card than to lose a slip of paper, plus it has my contact information and date of graduation. They came in super handy at conferences...

  13. Uniform Inspection

    seconddegreebsn replied to saraCOS's topic in General Students

    One of my clinical professors is constantly commenting about my visible underwear (I see lace!) under my white uniform, but it's not my fault they chose white practically see thru uniforms - I'm...

  14. Is this even legal??

    seconddegreebsn replied to blondie1887's topic in New York Nursing

    I wish I was even somewhat surprized, but my time at Hunter was full of administrative errors that I had to fight, and keep fighting, some for years. I'm sorry this happened to you --don't let up, and...

    seconddegreebsn posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I am currently a senior nursing student in an accelerated program and looking towards graduation and work. My GPA is fairly weak (3.4) - I don't really have any excuses other than I'm trying my...

  16. Fundamentals instructor doesn't teach.

    seconddegreebsn replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    Do they have class evaluations at the end of the semester? Voice your concerns there--I used to be worried about being "mean", but when I'm paying for a class and someone is really failing at an...

  17. What should we doing by last clinical?

    seconddegreebsn replied to leekaye's topic in General Students

    I'm in the same boat--I've given a couple heparin/insulin shots but haven't done any IMs, given meds thru an NG tube but never placed one, have no idea where to even begin with phlebotomy. The times...

  18. The Future of Nursing Question

    seconddegreebsn replied to On_a_mission92's topic in General Students

    I went to a panel on this over the weekend, and the hospital recruiters seem to think the future of nursing is outside the hospital - home care, community care, primary care, and clinic

  19. Hunter RN-BSN program, admission denied

    seconddegreebsn replied to blondie1887's topic in New York Nursing

    Hunter is notoriously difficult to get into, mostly based upon it's price point being so low. I'm sorry to say, but both of your GPAs are likely too low for entrance - when I spoke with admissions,...

  20. How important are internships?

    seconddegreebsn replied to mikasa's topic in General Students

    I think it depends how competitive the market is where you live. I've been trying to apply, but many won't consider anyone with under a 3.5 gpa (I am just barely shy of that) and it's extremely...

    seconddegreebsn replied to mrnightinggale's topic in General Students

    Poop bothers me a lot too...I thought it'd get easier over time, but it doesn't. I'm getting a dog,hopefully that'll desensitize me a

  22. Dear Lord, give me the strength to deal with yet another GROUP PROJECT

    seconddegreebsn posted a topic in General Students

    I can't take this anymore. Every semester, another group project, another headache. Okay, Miss you-decided-there-should-be-a-group-meeting-after-class-with-no-warning, how about an email or a text, I...

  23. Dear Lord, give me the strength to deal with yet another GROUP PROJECT

    seconddegreebsn replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in General Students

    I worked for ten years before starting nursing school. Yeah, sometimes that happens, but not as much as people play it to be. We had twice a year evaluations where they raked our performance over the...

  24. Dear Lord, give me the strength to deal with yet another GROUP PROJECT

    seconddegreebsn replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in General Students

    I don't mind when we get to pick the group, but when I get stuck with some random folks things go south VERY quickly. After another morning of bickering over who did what and why they didn't bother...

  25. Nursing tougher for guys than girls

    seconddegreebsn replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in Men in Nursing

    Can I believe the women in your program did better on an exam than you? With that attitude, I sure can. In my program, I consistently see men picked first time and time again (for scholarships, for...
