  1. General Education courses expiry?

    RunBabyRN replied to Sophia1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The credits don't expire. I have classes from the 90s, and I just graduated. They can also be

  2. First Clinical Day

    RunBabyRN replied to NurseGirl525's topic in General Students

    I've asked about what happened with patients. I had an ICU patient who died the weekend after I'd cared for him Thursday and Friday, or had patients who were there for a long time then left, so even...

  3. Just curious

    RunBabyRN replied to Julesmama28's topic in General Students

    4 semester traditional BSN program, about 650 total clinical hours, plus 180 hour senior preceptorship. Preceptorship placement method varies each year, it seems. When I did it, we listed our top two...

  4. What does getting staff reduce mean??

    RunBabyRN replied to jes07's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would guess that it means they have to cut hours and are trying to prevent lay

  5. "A" in SBAR Question

    RunBabyRN replied to MizMaverick's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Unless the reason you're calling the MD has to do with diabetes or the insulin or blood sugar, I would just say Lispro. They know it's a sliding scale. You could even say Lispro sliding scale if...

  6. Male WHNP/CNM

    RunBabyRN replied to amos24's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My comment was oversimplified, but it can't hurt to add WHNP after your name for 6 extra units (at least in the program I'm looking

  7. Male WHNP/CNM

    RunBabyRN replied to amos24's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This question always makes me sad. We don't bat an eye at a female nurse performing very intimate care with a male patient, or of a male OB/GYN performing lady partsl exams and suturing a perineum,...

  8. itt tech scam?

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

    I wondered the same

  9. Discouraged

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

    If your transcript shows the class "in progress," they will often keep that in

  10. Tips on Time Management in Clinicals

    RunBabyRN replied to Bubbly26's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Jenngirl34 has the right idea. Look at what will happen if that task happens now versus later or not at all. What will the outcome be? If blood sugar checks happen off-schedule, how might that...

  11. Definition of comorbidities? What does that mean?

    RunBabyRN replied to hkqueenx3's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Also, comorbidities may or may not be related, but might also impact one another. For example, someone may come in with a tib/fib fracture, and they have a comorbidity of of T2DM, hyperlipidemia and...

  12. Terrified Mortified Petrified Stupefied

    RunBabyRN replied to Terra Fermata's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You won't graduate feeling like you know everything (if you do, you're wrong!!). You are CONSTANTLY learning as a nurse. Right now, you are building a foundation. Your job right now is to learn...

  13. "S.M.A.R.T" goals for preceptorship

    RunBabyRN replied to whiskeygirl1985's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree with StudentOfHealing- you're very focused on SKILLS. Skills can be taught to a monkey. Learning how to THINK as a nurse is what nursing school is all about. On what unit will you be?...

  14. Discouraged

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

    Most schools require a bare minimum of a C to consider it a passing grade, and some schools may require a higher grade. As dorkypanda pointed out, you'll need to take a look at repeat policies,...

  15. itt tech scam?

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

    In general, it's good to avoid tech schools. They are known for holding people's ability to graduate until they pay for some expensive test, or for having high instructor turnover, making it nearly...

  16. Nursing Program Application questions

    RunBabyRN replied to nurse2bithink's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could go into that, and talk about how you've overcome adversity, how it's made you stronger, and so forth. I wouldn't get too lengthy about your current situation, but focus more on where you...

  17. Hi seeking advice..

    RunBabyRN replied to studentspring2015's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like a big semester! How many units?? Be cautious about sacrificing your GPA for the sake of hurrying through your classes. Nursing programs are very competitive, and a low GPA will really...

  18. Hi seeking advice..

    RunBabyRN replied to studentspring2015's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you starting your prereqs or your RN program? Ultimately, it comes down to things like organization, time management, prioritization, and utilizing your resources. What are you taking this...

  19. Looking for New Grad Programs

    RunBabyRN replied to AG23's topic in California Nursing

    Have you done any research of your own yet? It takes a lot of time and effort to find them, to know what you need, etc. Where you are in the state makes a difference as

  20. Digital Interview

    RunBabyRN replied to kelseykelsey4's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wow. That's plain lame. Part of an interview is YOU feeling THEM out. This would really put me off, personally. Is this normal, and I don't even know it? I'm curious to see what others

  21. Research on Employment in Various States

    RunBabyRN replied to Tieramg's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have no idea where you'd find liability and lawsuit information, but I can tell you that between that and employment rate, especially for those educated outside of the state, stay out of CA. CA has...

  22. What kind of car would you want?

    RunBabyRN replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I've been really happy with my Prius C. Can't beat the mileage or the "parkability". Now that I'm all over the place doing home infusions and such, I live in that car, and I love the mileage. It's...

  23. Still considered new grad?????

    RunBabyRN replied to Tesfanurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Different programs have different criteria for what counts as "new grad." Good luck with getting into this

  24. Residency Programs

    RunBabyRN replied to kelly328846's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You have to apply for a residency program. You don't just get into one out of school without applying. Maybe you're thinking of preceptorship/senior capstone, which is part of most

  25. Does anyone like their job?

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

    Oh, but there are jobs that make even the most die-hard among us hate being a nurse. My SNF job made me feel that way. It was horrible. I had no intention of being an infusion or wellness fair...
