  1. Biology Grad debating on NP or PA

    HelloWish replied to Young Tangerine's topic in General Students

    In nursing school you learn assessment, pathophysiology, pharmacology, and the nursing process and how to apply it critically. No, you don't really learn at the cellular level. That is done in A&P...

  2. Med school vs NP? Your plans and opinions?

    HelloWish replied to StayOrthostatic's topic in General Students

    To me it makes more sense to go to NP school after completing nursing school. Plus there is much less debt involved and the ability to work while in NP

  3. Quit during orientation

    HelloWish replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    I understand as a nurse we will do total patient care which includes bathing and cleaning patients - I am completely fine with that and honored to care for people who need that care! However, I am not...

  4. Thinking of leaving ED after 6 months

    HelloWish replied to NicoletheRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think anyone should stay in a job that is making them sick. Your idea to speak with the director about transferring departments sounds like a good

  6. texas health resource 2015

    HelloWish replied to newnurse525's topic in Texas Nursing

    I will be sending out resumes and hopefully applying for internships next spring right before graduation. Does anyone know around what time I should begin looking on their website for the residency...

  7. Why do nurses seem to have a bad reputation?

    HelloWish replied to unbrokenx3's topic in General Nursing

    When I have watched Grey's Anatomy, I distinctly remember the docs sleeping around and in on call rooms - like on every episode - this was a long time ago, I don't know if it has changed! Never really...

  8. Why do nurses seem to have a bad reputation?

    HelloWish replied to unbrokenx3's topic in General Nursing

    Medical shows on TV are grossly inaccurate. They show the doctor's basically doing everything a nurse does and doing complete patient care. In my clinical experience thus far as a student, I have seen...

  9. Procedure on this? Nurse and her abuser

    HelloWish replied to CMarieRN87's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, you need to speak to a lawyer. Not only are you being forced to face your abuser in an unacceptable situation, your employer is not supporting, respecting or backing you. I do not know if...

  10. Can I Become a Registered Nurse While Being TERRIBLE At Math?

    HelloWish replied to HarleyQuinn's topic in General Students

    I didn't read this whole thread, but I was afraid of nursing due to math. I decided not to give up my aspirations over something I could work at. I bought this book, Davis's Basic Math Review for...

  11. How much free time do you have while in school?

    HelloWish replied to TEXN's topic in General Students

    I am in a 4 semester program, going into 3rd semester. I have enough free time to watch some television at night, but that is just so I don't go insane. I personally wouldn't work. I spend a good deal...

  12. what do you say to friends who want to copy

    HelloWish replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I have said no numerous times to people who have asked to see my work or study my personal test reviews. However, I have offered to help others out to do their own work, if time permitted and they...

  13. "My Tech" or "My Aide"

    HelloWish replied to dreamer30's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I say my coworker, my classmate, my preceptor, my instructor, my school and I know they aren't mine in particular but I am associated with them and vice versa. I think people just say it without...

  14. HELP: How Extensive Are Hiring Background Checks?

    HelloWish replied to khaleesikitten's topic in General Students

    As others have said, if someone recognizes you it will not matter why you did it. It won't matter if they "grow up" or if you don't do it anymore. Their opinion will be formed based on their...

  15. HELP: How Extensive Are Hiring Background Checks?

    HelloWish replied to khaleesikitten's topic in General Students

    My thought is how are you going to deal with a professor, classmate, patient, coworker, employer, etc. whenever they recognize

  16. Please Give Opinion on a Test Question I Had on Fundies Final

    HelloWish replied to vigor145's topic in General Students

    I was taught in fundamentals and assessment that you usually assess gait and balance as they enter the exam room. I think C makes the most sense esp. for an elderly

  17. A good book for practice questions?

    HelloWish posted a topic in General Students

    I will be starting my 3rd semester of nursing school in the Fall. I have several NCLEX books that I use to help me study. I am doing well, but this semester I am no longer an A student...made a B...

  18. Medical school after nursing school ?

    HelloWish replied to Harlee92's topic in General Students

    Are you familiar with nurse practitioners who practice much like a family doctor or CRNAs who function much like an anesthesiologist? Not the same, but they can prescribe and diagnose and do many...

  19. 1 Hour and 25min drive to school to become an RN? It's it really worth it!

    HelloWish replied to MARI3LA's topic in General Students

    I think it is doable if you can find a carpool buddy to utilize the time by studying. That is 3 hours per day you could use to study. Also if you can record lectures, this is a great time to listen to...

  20. Crazy clinicals instructor doesn't like us using the restroom?

    HelloWish replied to JESSICAAA159's topic in General Students

    I am sure this is some kind of violation. I'd take it to the nursing director or up the chain of command. You cannot safely care for patients if you have an overwhelming need to pee and haven't

  21. Nursing instructor question: flipped classrooms?

    HelloWish replied to jrsbsn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am a nursing student. I think it depends on how each student learns and if you focus on only one way of teaching, then you aren't meeting the needs of all your students learning styles. I don't...

  22. Test Questions

    HelloWish replied to student23t's topic in General Students

    Practice questions, esp. NCLEX style. The Saunders Book covers most of fundamentals, you just have to find correlating subject material. The online part of the book has additional questions or you can...

  23. Practice questions

    HelloWish replied to Agusia's topic in General Students

    I bought the Sanders NCLEX book and google NCLEX questions regarding what ever subject I am studying. For instance, I just Googled "NCLEX questions fluids &

  24. Should I quit nursing school?

    HelloWish replied to mara.bug's topic in General Students

    Since you are more than half way through, I'd consider finishing. You can work PRN while obtaining either an advanced practice NP licence where you could counsel and prescribe or just pursue...

  25. why do nursing???

    HelloWish replied to elgpak's topic in General Students

    I know this is probably a troll, but I just want to say I have just started my 2nd semester of nursing school. The people who provide the majority of care to patients are the nurses. Doctor's are in...
