  1. ACLS as a student?

    applesxoranges replied to SN2014's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It may be helpful but I wouldn't worry about it. Some places won't certify new grads of RN till they have their licensure but usually you can find one training center that will. Ultimately, if the job...

  2. Feeling like an idiot during sims lab... Normal?

    applesxoranges replied to RookieRoo's topic in General Students

    applesxoranges replied to student0810's topic in General Students

    People in my school would transfer in and out of our program and another program. Of course, all the people from their program ******* and whined about how unfair it was over there and I am sure all...

  4. Retro nurse uniforms....where to order?

    applesxoranges replied to Kashia's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    This Halloween maybe I'll go to the club dressed as a nurse zombie... I did a zombie paramedic one year. (I am a real paramedic and the patches on the shirt were from some company that doesn't...

  5. So is ADN- RN really a waste of time?

    applesxoranges replied to mzsuccess's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I graduated from an ADN school and I haven't had issues finding jobs. Some of my classmates are having issues though. If possible, get experience inside a hospital. I had an ER and ICU position...

  6. Failed the RN program still want to be an Rn . Help !

    applesxoranges replied to student0810's topic in General Students

    There is a bunch of schools. Look in the midwest and prepare a letter beforehand about failing and how you think you have learned from your

  7. ASN/ADN Online hybrid schools?

    applesxoranges replied to Dlovely089's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am really surprised more community colleges are not offering lectures online. Obviously some things were held in person like the labs, the competencies, the tests, and

  9. ACLS, how much prep for the class

    applesxoranges replied to blondie1887's topic in General Nursing

    SkillStat EKG. The easiest way to remember the 3 A drugs is to view them as drinking. Top of drink = more = atropine. Down your drink = less = adenosine. Amiodarone is the odd one

  10. Denial of financial aid for previous associates degree

    applesxoranges replied to Tracyprice1's topic in General Students

    It's hit and miss how lenient schools are with SAP waivers. Some are super strict and some are lenient. Most of the time they are lenient with the exception of a lifetime

  11. What to do: ED physician brought dog to work

    applesxoranges replied to skinzvictory's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I would also wonder whether he could argue it was a service dog. You don't actually need any proof that a service dog is a service dog or what function they function in. A hypochondriac that I knew...

  12. Allheart company

    applesxoranges replied to Keepstanding's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    For me, it was a nightmare the two times I placed an order. It took forever for shipping! One time it was "due to the weather" which was changed to "due to being out of stock" despite the items...

  13. Pursuing my dream as a nurse

    applesxoranges replied to Alkmoos's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I passed the NCLEX in January. My advice is to use ratemyprofessor.com for the pre-reqs to help ensure you sign up for the best instructors. There is a wide range of professors who teach

  14. ASN/ADN Online hybrid schools?

    applesxoranges replied to Dlovely089's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ask the local community colleges. A lot of them are offering hybrid online systems for lecture

    applesxoranges replied to Tracyprice1's topic in General Students

  16. Confused about how to become a nurse

    applesxoranges replied to amer1996's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are plus and minuses either way. Apparently it is really tough for new graduates to get jobs in California regardless of ADN vs BSN. My advice is to stay as mobile as possible during nursing...

  17. ASN/ADN Online hybrid schools?

    applesxoranges replied to Dlovely089's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Clinicals are required unfortunately and sometimes you get zero say as to when they are. My school offered lecture online but we had to report to the school to do things like labs and tests. No test...

  18. Confused about how to become a nurse

    applesxoranges replied to amer1996's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A BSN is a bachelors degree from a university. You should start by looking up universities in your area and find out if they offer a bachelors of nursing. Unfortunately, it is up to the school how...

  20. How difficult would you personally rate your RN to BSN program?

    applesxoranges replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Very true! We didn't learn about managing art-lines in nursing school since they viewed it as a specialty area that primarily ICU and maybe stepdown patients would have them. Chest tubes we learned...

  21. Still don't get the BSN ADN thing...

    applesxoranges replied to tarotale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  23. BSN programs are harder than ADN

    applesxoranges replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

    Even an ADN class needs to have more than just those classes. My advice is to leave the ADN vs BSN and just focus on passing your classes. If your class load is too hard, chances are they have a...

  24. License expiration date - how does your state handle it?

    applesxoranges replied to ixchel's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In Ohio, it's all in August and those who renew are based upon whether you're an LPN or RN. I forget which one gets the odds and which one gets the even
