  1. Does your ND have to be related to only the tinnitus, or are you taking the whole patient into account? Generally, you want to look at the whole patient, and sometimes, the ND has nothing to do with...
  2. How to improve clinical skills

    Speed comes with repetition. Accuracy is more important than
  3. Less than 1 month to study?

    I only used the ATI study manual. I read it cover to cover, and tabbed the pages I needed to review. Then I went back and focused on just that stuff. It didn't take me very long, maybe a few days...
  4. Quick question about the TEAS test

    You need to take it before you apply. You only have to take it once, and then you request that ATI send the transcript to the schools. Look at the program websites. This will generally be on there....
  5. We're not here for that

    I'm always floored when this type of thing comes up. What exactly do some people think we're doing in nursing school? That somehow we're "above" this sort of thing? What about respecting patients...
  6. Relocating for Nursing School?

    Be aware that many programs are not accepting out-of-state applicants. Most programs around the country are impacted. I would say to apply to as many programs as possible. Narrow your search your...
  7. Nurse of 10 years can't start IV's

    I would take an IV course over phlebotomy, as the skills and equipment are
  8. Precepting in postpartum

    Hi all! I'll be precepting in postpartum this semester. I'd like to work either in PP or L&D, either would be fine (though eventually L&D, since I plan to be a CNM/WHNP). I have lactation...
  9. Precepting in postpartum

    Thanks for the tips! So far it's going well, and definitely confirming (not that I needed confirmation) that OB nursing is what I love!
  10. Recommendation letters for new grads! Advice?

    I'm glad you asked this! I'm in the same place as you, and am trying to figure out navigating through letters of recommendation. The way the job market is here, I plan to cast a wide net, like you,...

    Congratulations! Good luck with your
  12. How many nursing programs should I apply to?

    Oh, and as far as figuring out schools, the web is your friend. Are you considering a city? See what universities are there, then search each university to see if they offer nursing. Most nursing...
  13. How many nursing programs should I apply to?

    Apply to as many schools as you'd consider attending. I applied to 10 schools my first time around and got into 2; long story why I had to apply the next year, but I did and got
  14. please where can i find a physics lab online

    How on earth do you expect to be able to do a physics lab online?? I'm really confused. Are you familiar with what lab usually entails? Like, skills the instructor needs to OBSERVE you
  15. You can call the department and find out. Their nursing website may also have that information. Usually it's also on the application whether or not outstanding prereqs are
  16. Immunization Records?

    Agreed, get to the doctor. For some, they can do a blood test to see if you're already good to go. For others (like TDaP), they may just give it to you. But if you need your hep B series, best to...
  17. CSULB pre-nursing also applying to LBCC

    If she wants to be a nurse, don't waste time and money on another degree. It'll set her back for financial aid and other resources, and may even limit her options for attending a university later, as...
  18. Student Nurse "Help me!" Threads

    I think there's a big difference, though, between teaching a groups of new students in class, versus a post on a forum that shows that someone CLEARLY didn't take the time to scroll down, where FOUR...
  19. Student Nurse "Help me!" Threads

    The worst!! Those are just awful! Sometimes I have to laugh at them. They likely don't have the humility needed to become a nurse! But I'm likely
  20. Have SO Many questions for experienced RNs in Ob/Gyn Nursng

    Bear with me, as I'm still a student, but I am precepting in post partum, and have kept my finger on the pulse of this area quite steadily for years. @cayenne06- LDRP!! Oh how I wish we had it...
  21. I need to conduct an interview with an OB/GYN for HOSA.

    *facepalm*
  22. One specific faculty member- YOU ARE FREAKING AWESOME. Everyone in the program feels this way. You ride us hard and support us and champion behind us, and we love you for it! We want to nominate...
  23. Second Semester, i hate it

    A LOT of this second year has been stuff we could have done online. The lectures were basically reading the Power Points aloud, and the Power Points are posted online, so it's been pretty self-taught...
  24. I feel like I don't know anything!

    How are you doing in your program? A lot of my classmates (and I) feel like sometimes. Like we're just LOST in a discussion, or have NO idea about meds, or whatever. How do you feel your style of...
  25. adn vs bsn

    YES, this needs to be a stickied topic!! OP, there are SO many posts about this. Go through the fora. General points- look at the job market in your area. Also consider what you want to do as a...
