I have quite a few stores from working on the Med-Surg and Psych units for the past three years. I'll start with the first paranormal experience that I had (at the hospital, at least): I was newly out of nursing school and just started being charge ...

Weekend night med-surg unit. Nurse/patient ratio is usually 5.1, rarely 4:1. Usually at least one admission during the night (I have only had 7 pts one night in my entire 2 years). Charge nurse also takes a full pt load. We don't have techs or CN...

I am planning on starting my ADN to MSN online through The College Network (Regis University) very soon. I have set up an appointment with a local preceptor (?) to get general information and to ask about financing/etc. I am glad that I actually to...

i recently had a patient with tb. most of the time when i have these patients, i minimize my time in the room, taking breaks, grouping care, etc. this particular patient needed more care, so i was in the room at one point for probably twenty minute...

yes... :)

Who's all starting out this fall? I need some friends! :rotfl: I'm starting my ADN program this fall, It takes 4 semesters--last graduating class, 70 people were accepted, 30 made it to the end, and ALL 30 passed their NCLEX...I hope the pass rate...

I got accepted to an ADN program here in Tennessee....I made a post similar to this one in the pre-nursing student forums...it's called Roll Call '05, so you may want to check it out, too!

No He didn't recieve a text message in class and proceed to REPLY, making a beep for every button that he pushed! :uhoh21:

I don't know why, but that made me laugh out loud!

Ewwwwww no!

I haven't begun clinicals or anything yet, but... I have some ideas: OB nursing, Surgery, Research..I'd also like to become a lactation consultant and maybe a midwife--but we'll see after I do my OB rounds!

i feel that if this really was a problem the moderators would move the posts. this is general nursing student discussion, remember. i know people have said this before me, but thanks "cooler than me " nursing students (and rns that post here)!!

I don't go to MTSU either, but I do live in Middle TN and go to Motlow. Hello!

Here are my guesses-- c b a? d?

keep em coming! I haven't even begun nursing school and I already feel smarter! I'm sure that feeling will go away in, um...about 3 months!!!

We had our nursing orientation today. We have to buy so many books for this 1st semester!!! Some of them are used throughout the program, though....How much did you all spend on books? All the books I need will cost around $1000! I hope I get my ...

Great mental picture!...haha, sounds like something I'd do!

Believe me, if someone swabs something and Proteus shows up, it will smell up the lab room as soon as the incubator is opened!!! Nasty!

One of my friends who has taken all of her pre-reqs in our Community College decided to go for her BSN at a University. Well, she HAD a 4.0, but when she told this to the University, they said that they wouldn't accept her 4.0 as valid, because it c...

Yeah, that!

Program policy...

Uggghhhh...chemistry! My program doesn't require chemistry, but I did take it in high school. I got a 9 on one of my tests!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That math class is pretty easy! There is a fair amout of memorizing, etc, but it's pretty basic. If you know basic math you'll be okay!

tell me how it really is! :chuckle I know that a lot of the people in my A&P II class got accepted. I was suprised that I knew so many. Some didn't even do very well on the entrance exam (which was a pain in the BUTT! especially having to re...

haha, I changed the title. I guess I should have put that in the first place! :)
