  1. Graduating High School with ASN

    applesxoranges replied to KCW98's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  5. How to get a job working with babies

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

    I don't think she was equating food service with healthcare, just she didn't like the comparison of comparing being against abortions to being vegan and against those who serve meat. However, I think...

  6. Graduating High School with ASN

    applesxoranges replied to KCW98's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well, to be fair it depends on the person too. I did half and half to maintain full-time status at high school and I graduated with all from a university. My professors didn't even know that I was in...

  7. Prescriptions and Drug Testing

    applesxoranges replied to ATBStudent's topic in General Students

    I'd just disclose it when drug testing and include the last time you took it. Most drug tests are urine and I don't think it'll show up if it has been a few months. Also, your clinical instructors are...

  8. How to get a job working with babies

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

    So you expect me to believe that you knew enough about signs and symptoms of discomfort to watch how the baby was breathing during the procedure where they circumcised your son? Also, most hospitals...

  12. Graduating High School with ASN

    applesxoranges replied to KCW98's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  14. Nursing School Orientation Day

    applesxoranges replied to guest07/14/15's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't expect any supplies. Some may hand out pens and pencils with the school's name on it but most do not. Sometimes there is a planner that you can get but it varies. I know the first day of...

  15. Hospital will not hire smokers

    applesxoranges replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It's standard in my area and nurses are drug tested for nicotine. It's a separate test. I think physicians are the only ones not drug tested and that's because they are hired through an outside...

    applesxoranges replied to CosmicHymns's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  18. [POLL] is it a reason to NOT pursue nursing anymore?

    applesxoranges replied to ionelaitou's topic in General Students

    I would stop. I'm not saying never go to nursing school but stop going to school where the primary language is Korean until you can grasp the language in all forms. I don't think any nursing school...

  24. affordable scrubs

    applesxoranges replied to shay39's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    In my experience, cheap isn't necessarily the best. They usually wear out quicker. I found that paying a bit extra for scrubs means they last longer. I personally like Jockey Scrubs although the black...

  25. Nursing lanyard

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

    Make sure they are allowed at your facility. Mine does not allow nurses to wear them due to the choking risk and that includes break away lanyards. If they break away they still give a patient a...
