  1. Has Anyone Taken Statistics

    RunBabyRN replied to Mia83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a great teacher (LOVE RateMyProfessors.com!!), so the class wasn't boring, and it really wasn't hard. She explained things really well. Stay on top of stuff, and ask questions as they come up,...

  2. spinal cord injury

    RunBabyRN replied to rahulsharma's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You really have to look at each patient and what's going on with THEM. Just because he has a spinal cord injury doesn't mean he has X, Y and Z going on. Does he have chronic pain? Does he have...

  3. Down hill from here on out!!

    RunBabyRN replied to Remilekun's topic in General Students

    Congratulations! Here's hoping the rumors are correct.

  4. How to chart I&Os

    RunBabyRN replied to RNstudent13renee's topic in General Students

    We chart them as they happen, then add up the shift totals and document those as

  5. Whats your favorite montra or saying?

    RunBabyRN replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

    Don't sacrifice what you want most for what you want right now. You can only change yourself by challenging

  6. First Pediatric Experience

    RunBabyRN replied to n_xerra's topic in General Students

    Kids can sense when you're being fake. So being genuine is especially important with kids. Kids can be SO much fun! They're very much in their own world. They love to talk about themselves, so ask...

  7. Advice for first clincial rotation?

    RunBabyRN replied to adnstudent44's topic in General Students

    Don't be afraid. So many people start their psych rotation scared, and there's really no need. You'll be okay! I would second what nursephillyphil said. TOTALLY agree about the stethoscope ear...

  8. Need a lot of advice, tips

    RunBabyRN replied to NancyGua813's topic in General Students

    Look into CSUs, rather than UCs. I haven't seen a UC with an undergrad RN program, only with master's or doctorate-level programs. Plus, CSUs are less expensive. In your undergrad, do the IGETC, so...

  9. Bsn ? Online bsn?

    RunBabyRN replied to msrxchef's topic in General Students

    21 is definitely NOT too old. Most people in nursing programs are 30+. Next, how would RN-BSN be faster than a straight BSN? I agree about finishing your current bachelor's, then doing an aBSN...

  10. Terrified about student loan debt. ADVICE

    RunBabyRN replied to becca94's topic in General Students

    I would suggest going to school part time and working so that you don't put yourself in that much debt. As a general rule, you should not take out student loans totaling more than your expected first...

  11. Pre-Nursing Problems- Baby or no baby?

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

    I've had the same debate. We decided to wait. Now that I'm about to graduate, I'm debating whether or not baby #2 is even something we want at this point, because of how much life has changed for...

  12. Finally Doing IT! My Long Journey...

    RunBabyRN replied to 42&mytime's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations!! Good for you for taking the bull by the horns and pursing your dreams!! You're setting a wonderful example for your son! :) It is NEVER too late to go back and pursue your dreams....

  13. Scared!!!

    RunBabyRN replied to cjuiceplus's topic in General Students

    Hugs! I think those are all normal fears. At least you're starting now with the studying, and you can work on what you need to in order to do well on the NCLEX. Go through the NCLEX forum- I'm sure...

  14. How much debt has anyone gone into with nursing school in NY?

    RunBabyRN replied to Becca014's topic in General Students

    Well, no one has replied, so I will, even though I'm not in NY, since Ca is also a pretty expensive state. I have about $20,000 in student loans, and zero regrets. Fortunately, I'm a veteran, and I...

  15. Nursing school interview

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

    Wear something professional and modest, like you're going to an interview. I wore a suit. Make sure nothing is low cut. Ours, they did a lot of little things where it showed us working with one...

  16. Can I ask a question that is NOT related to nursing...?

    RunBabyRN replied to succinate's topic in General Nursing

    Why don't you just post your question, and if the admins feel it needs to be moved, it'll be

  17. Need advice on routes to RN

    RunBabyRN replied to stephen7934's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I agree about the aBSN. That would be, most likely, the way to go. Getting a BSN in the current nursing culture will really help your job

  18. Should I hang it up??

    RunBabyRN replied to bluebird3's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Don't give up! Keep looking for better environments, or do that MSN. What did you like about the OB/GYN? What about WHNP, if it was the clientele? Culture makes SUCH a difference in work...

  19. If BSN's are preferred, then make that min requirement for NCLEX

    RunBabyRN replied to deebaxster's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Agreed. Similar to EMT-B, EMT-I and EMT-P. I think that's a really good

  20. cannot see all of my teas score on ati page

    RunBabyRN replied to jamrocknurse's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Maybe use another browser? I know the ATI site can be funky on FireFox and other

  21. Never Give Up On Your Dreams!

    RunBabyRN replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Congratulations! Life has a way of throwing us curve balls right when we don't need them. Divide and conquer! Good luck with

  22. My TEAS prep plan! Any good?

    RunBabyRN replied to Shinnichi's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    It sounds like an alright plan, maybe a bit of overstudying, IMO. Let me tell you what worked well for me (we're all different, so this may not work for you). I read the ATI book cover to cover,...

  23. is the TEAS exam really hard ???

    RunBabyRN replied to andre5758's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I didn't find it especially hard, especially after studying the ATI book. If you study that, it's all written the same way the exam

  24. What study tool did you use?

    RunBabyRN replied to Becca014's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Don't stress! Get the ATI TEAS V study guide. What worked for me was going through and reading it cover to cover, and marking the stuff I needed to go back and review, so that I had at least been...

  25. Tips for second time taking the Teas

    RunBabyRN replied to missind33's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Before you retake the exam, be sure that your school(s) accepts retakes. Some schools will only accept your application if you've taken the TEAS only
