I'm just a pre-nursing student, but I've told my mother--showed her how--to cut off her IV and disconnect it when she had to use the bathroom. Why? When she didn't do it, she soiled her bed, room, and bathroom bc no one helped her go to the toilet de...

With less than 6 months of nursing experience, it's not too late to apply to some new grad nurse residency programs. Most of the programs offer at least 4-6 months of preceptorship with some programs lasting up to 12 months.

Agreed. I had to read it for AP biology in high school. My friends don't even know what this means because they have not read any literature on the subject. Meanwhile, I remember thinking, at 16, how terrifying it would be if the virus resurfaced sin...

I suggest asking a professor and contacting your state board of nursing for further inquiry.

I'm waiting for my first semester of NS to begin! Anatomy was my favorite subject. Enjoy it!

You need a strong upward trend to prove that what happened your first semester won't happen again because you're a new and improved student.

I suggest Professor Fink on YouTube. He has an entire year's worth of A&P lecture videos.

Could you all post your stats? GPA, healthcare experience, volunteer positions, and leadership roles are what I'm asking of you. I need to know what they are looking for in a potential hire. I have but 2 years to strengthen my profile. Thanks in adva...

Could you all post your stats? GPA, health care experience, volunteer hours, and leadership positions are what I'm asking of you. I want to know what I should be working on while I'm in nursing school these next 2 years. Thanks in advance.

I've had so many interests. Lateral mobility is a plus in nursing. Here's what I'm interested in: ANYTHING cardiac (Cardiac tele, CCU, CVICU, cath lab), L&D, PACU, and wound care. I took the Johnson & Johnson specialty test and was advised t...

Those are the two classes I'm happily excited about crushing! I feel like barfing when I think about our clinicals that start at the end of September.

Yeah, my program has separated 1-3 credit hour courses for each semester. I'm taking five 2-credit-hour courses in the fall.

You should do some research and shadowing in each field. The paths for CRNA and med school are very different. If you're set on med school, you want a major that will include the prerequisite courses, but you also want a degree that'll lead to a job,...

I'd pick a cheaper program.

In the wake of recent fora, I have to ask if you're overreacting.

What we're your stats? What stood out about you? I have 2 friends interested in the program.

I would've lost my job that day.

If your friend went to PA school because she doesn't want ultimate responsbility, she's in for an awakening. A PA I shadowed in neurology runs the clinic when his supervising physician decides to take a ~2 month vacation in the summertime with the fa...

On second thought, maybe we should consider medical lab science. Sigh.

I have the same concerns about thick skin, sensitivity, and introversion (anxiety attacks about starting nursing school), but I'm going to get over it eventually. The best way to get over these obstacles is with experience. No job or career is perfec...

Thanks! Good luck!

You'll never know until you try. They might not have even read the first resume because of surplus applications.

Congrats! I hope to be in your position someday.
