  1. Student Nurse "Help me!" Threads

    RunBabyRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Reposting what I said to you before. Quote from sarahrnay It isn't a stereotype if there is evidence to support it. I have been told so, so many times to "buck up" by older, more...

  2. Student Nurse "Help me!" Threads

    RunBabyRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Which I love to see that there are still 5 of us making our way

  3. Stupid Nurse Tricks (Or How To Look Incredibly Stupid)

    RunBabyRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    While teaching a group of new students, trip over your own shoes and face plant in the hallway 20 feet from the ER and end up inside with a nice goose egg on your chin for weeks. Have this happen in...

  4. Administering meds at clinical

    RunBabyRN replied to keeithh01's topic in General Students

    We had to have our instructor with us the first time we passed oral meds. First semester, our nurse had to be with us every time. From there, we were allowed to pass them on our own, but our...

  5. B.S. in Health Wellness to a Nurse

    RunBabyRN replied to NurseAshley2930's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you know you want to go for your RN, why finish your Health Wellness degree? It'll keep you from qualifying for financial aid, and there are a lot of universities right now that won't accept...

  6. Nursing Shortage= Thousands of Unemployed New Grads?

    RunBabyRN replied to Hypnotica's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree that location and prior experience make a big difference. Looking for a rural hospital job in Boron or Visalia will look very different than trying to get a job at Cedars Sinai. If you do...

  7. Favorite books to help you understand material?

    RunBabyRN replied to estormpowers's topic in General Students

    I didn't have enough time to ADD books! There's usually so much reading that overwhelming yourself with additional books is

  8. how should i prepare for Hesi A2

    RunBabyRN replied to Jewelnore's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Check out the HESI forum- TONS of posts that will answer exactly this.

  9. Student Nurse "Help me!" Threads

    RunBabyRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    No, if you go through the thread, she was warned (as many people are on this site when they do that when signing up, regardless of the thread). She has just decided to get nasty with people, exactly...

  10. For all the momma nurses out there...

    RunBabyRN replied to trauma_lama's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't think it's a bad thing. I was a phlebotomist when I was pregnant with my son, and all that bending over the draw blood KILLED my back while pregnant, to a point where I left in tears a few...

  11. Other health professions

    RunBabyRN replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

    I would totally disagree that if an instructor picks up the scent of uncertainty, they'll work on getting rid of you. They may ride you hard (like my instructors do), but it's because they want you...

    RunBabyRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Same here. Maybe it depends on the browser or

  13. Student Nurse "Help me!" Threads

    RunBabyRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    REALLY?? What are you doing that you've been told to buck up "so, so many times???" I have never once been told to do this, but if I ask something, I usually have the research to back it up, or if I...

  14. Student Nurse "Help me!" Threads

    RunBabyRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    YES.

  15. Student Nurse "Help me!" Threads

    RunBabyRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I think I may be adding something like this to my siggy- I feel like even though I don't yet have RN after my name, it makes me equally nuts when people can't do their share, do their own research, or...

  16. student loan forgiveness for nurses??

    RunBabyRN replied to lrc1203's topic in General Nursing

    I know here in CA, if you get a job working for the state and commit to a certain number of years, there's a loan forgiveness program. Sadly, with the economy the way it is these days, there are...

  17. D/Cing an IV

    RunBabyRN replied to happynurse49's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You'll learn how to be a two-handed octopus in no time! :) There are ALWAYS times I wish I had 4 hands. All the more reason teamwork is

  18. Help with calcualtion

    RunBabyRN replied to Shutchins's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would start your own thread in the Nurse Student Assistance forum rather than responding to someone else's post with a question like this. You'll have a better

  19. D/Cing an IV

    RunBabyRN replied to happynurse49's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Be careful with elderly or dehydrated patients with fragile skin, as pulling the tape can easily tear it. Once you get a corner lifted, have a stack of alcohol pads, and use them to press the skin...

  20. Just started nursing school- are instructors playing a mental game with us?

    RunBabyRN replied to Caitlin23's topic in General Students

    Try to think of it as them challenging you to make you a better nurse. They want you to think, handle the pressure, and to develop confidence as a nurse. It all comes with time. Nursing is...

    RunBabyRN replied to EMTP 42689's topic in General Students

    You really might want to reconsider posting your e-mail in such a public forum. Protect yourself! Send the OP a private message once you have enough posts to do

  22. Tips on Nursing School

    RunBabyRN replied to bdarden07's topic in General Students

    Check out the HESI forum- I took the TEAS, so I can't help with that one. Look at the program itself to see what lies in store- most have the classes you'll take and when posted. Most programs go at...

  23. First day of clinical rotation - your experience?

    RunBabyRN replied to simplyblissful's topic in General Students

    I was so excited! I've worked in patient care before, so I was really excited to be back at it! I was nervous, because it's very different being in a nursing role versus a Navy corpsman role. Also,...

  24. can i do this (is this for me)?

    RunBabyRN replied to Nursing_Student'15's topic in General Students

    We're all scared and forget to ask things or don't know how to think things through. It's a process, and your instructor is trying to make you think. Everyone says you really learn the most when you...

  25. OB study tips?

    RunBabyRN replied to chacha82's topic in General Students

    Each class will kind of be its own animal. Study the same way that you do for med/surg, if possible, but really hone in on the stuff that you don't grasp. Try different approaches to things. For...
