    Is my school weird?

    NurseGirl525 replied to sfrgirl's topic in General Students

    I have used very few of the skills I have learned in lab in clinical. It depends on the hospital, floor, and census that day. I've given a few injections, did several med passes, and tons of vitals...

    Is my school weird?

    NurseGirl525 replied to sfrgirl's topic in General Students

    It is odd, but understand you are not really learning these skills to prepare you for the actual nursing world. I'm in my fourth semester and the only time I have done a foley or inserted a night...

    Want to work in hospital to continue education but have a bachelor in something else

    NurseGirl525 replied to Up&Away's topic in General Students

    It's not just the terminology that I think the op is confused about which is why I was asking and trying to ascertain what they were meaning. Continuing education are credits a licensed person earns...

    Want to work in hospital to continue education but have a bachelor in something else

    NurseGirl525 replied to Up&Away's topic in General Students

    What are you asking? That you go work at a hospital as a CNA and the pay for your nursing degree? It's not continuing education. A CNA is not a nurse. They are separate things. You would need to...

    Why understanding the difference between medical diagnosis and nursing diagnosis important

    NurseGirl525 replied to Patrick Villamor's topic in General Students

    The doctor treats the problem, the nurse treats how the person responds to the problem. Does that make sense? The doctor says oh you have hypertension, I'm going to treat the hypertension with this...

    Help! Child/School Conflict

    NurseGirl525 replied to on_my_way1478's topic in General Students

    Call the courts to reschedule. They can do that. Lots of people have conflicts. Hopefully they dismiss it. I think that is so dumb. I'm sorry it happened to

    NurseGirl525 replied to nika.liptakova's topic in General Students

    1/9: What I learned this week - Worst. Vagina. EVER.

    NurseGirl525 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I've learned many things so far in 2016. 1. I was not ready for my son to turn 10. Absolutely crazy how fast time flies. 2. I can be nice to my ex-husband's mistress. The woman he cheated on me with...

    Help! ADN???

    NurseGirl525 replied to Lyzett1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nobody looks down on an ASN. It is what the employers in your area want. You need to research your job market. Research if there are even job openings in your area and what degree they

    How should I go about getting my nursing degree?

    NurseGirl525 replied to ashyhendr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Settle for an Associate's Degree?? You do know those programs are more competitive than BSN programs. If you don't meet the bare min GPA requirement, I would look at a back-up major. The bare min...

    4 traffic tickets in 1 day

    NurseGirl525 replied to student789's topic in General Students

    Why would you have to report traffic tickets to the Bon? If people were denied licenses due to traffic tickets there wouldn't be very many nurses. Did you just get several violations on one ticket...

    Grading question

    NurseGirl525 replied to Margok27's topic in General Students

    I disagree with you just slightly. A difference between an A and a B does not matter when obtaining a job but it does if tbe OP decides to continue their education. Some graduate programs can be...

    More people complain than sing praises. It's like that in every, single field of work. It's what you personally can make of your work and your day. You our need to remember that nursing is a job....
