  1. Nurses with worse spelling than mine are laughable.

    RunBabyRN replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  2. Nursing School and Work Experience

    RunBabyRN replied to michelle99's topic in General Students

    Prior experience helps some people and hinders others. You have to acknowledge that another way might be better than the way you have been doing it. Being fresh means you don't have to correct old...

  3. Picking a major, HELP!

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

    One thing to think about is that in nearly all areas of nursing, including all of the ones you mentioned, you will encounter death sometimes. I don't think I've ever come across a nurse that is...

  4. Can someone share the 25/35 page STUDY GUIDE please??

    RunBabyRN replied to Daniegirl2011's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Please please please, whatever you do, take your e-mail address, especially one with your full name in it, off this website! If you cannot do this yourself, please ask one of the admins to edit your...

  5. Needing some experienced nursing advice

    RunBabyRN replied to newgrad1988's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree here. I think you're focused way too much on these little things, and they're going to wear on you. You need to work on coping mechanisms and seeing the forest beyond the trees....

  6. CNA before nursing

    RunBabyRN replied to amandaamanda's topic in General Nursing

    Our program requires it before starting. Now, that said, there's a difference between having your cert and actually having WORKED as a CNA. I think there's some benefit to working as a CNA prior to...

  7. A calling to help others but give me a good paycheck

    RunBabyRN replied to runningcrazy's topic in General Nursing

    I'm one of those people with "the calling," but the money is definitely a factor. I would not be a nurse for minimum wage. I am the primary breadwinner in my home, and now that I am a nurse, we can...

  8. Nurses with worse spelling than mine are laughable.

    RunBabyRN replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Even teachers get this stuff wrong. My sister-in-law is notorious for using the wrong "your". "Your welcome." I want to correct her texts all the

  9. Nurses with worse spelling than mine are laughable.

    RunBabyRN replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Bahahahahahahaha!!! Best. Comment. Ever.

  10. Nurses with worse spelling than mine are laughable.

    RunBabyRN replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Your mean. Plz advice me on hows to talk in good english. Can I have you're advise?? My mean teechur's dun give me bad grade's in phynatomy and anasteziology, what nursing school's should to go...

  11. Pearson Vue: Bullies?

    RunBabyRN replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, people are still doing it. It's not entirely gone, you just have to put in the CC info at this point (and from the sound of it, you may get charged some?). I still see them on the new grad FB...

  12. Can you support yourself on agency nursing?

    RunBabyRN replied to andreaek's topic in Agency Nurses

    I've been supporting my family on agency nursing, as I have regular infusion clients through one and some health fairs through another. The health fair contract we've been working on is about to end,...

  13. I'm transferring with less than a year until I graduate.... Am I crazy?!

    RunBabyRN replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    Can we stop splitting hairs here and stay on topic please? The topic is not about whether the ADN or bridge program needs to be accredited. I think there's little argument that the OP will have...

  14. When should I start looking?

    RunBabyRN replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    If you want to get into NICU, any chance you can precept there? There are new grad positions posted occasionally. Keep your eye out, as sometimes new grad postings go up and down in a matter of...

  15. Dosage test...concentration problem

    RunBabyRN replied to NS2015's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What do you have so far? What do you think the answers are? We're happy to help, but we won't give you the answers. We will, however, offer guidance with answers you've come up with.

  16. I'm transferring with less than a year until I graduate.... Am I crazy?!

    RunBabyRN replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    Wow, this school sounds like bad news. Run far and fast! Not getting to touch actual flesh and blood patients is a bad

  17. Should I still apply to Sacramento States Nursing program?

    RunBabyRN replied to calvaaan_21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I imagine that's frustrating. It's hard to truly reflect what one can offer in one snapshot. It might be worthwhile to take one or two transferable courses that can help improve both your GPA and...

  18. Should I still apply to Sacramento States Nursing program?

    RunBabyRN replied to calvaaan_21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What's their repeat policy on the TEAS? Any chance you can improve your score? Definitely cast a wide net when applying. I applied to 10 CSUs when I first applied, and got into 2. You never know...

  19. First day of class

    RunBabyRN replied to vregino36's topic in General Students

    This is so important. I could never focus too far ahead. I had to tackle the few things going on a few at a time. Small bites helped keep things manageable. One thing that also helped me was...

  20. Nursing book bag..help!

    RunBabyRN replied to NURSEY92's topic in General Students

    We rarely used our books in class, and even if we did, you really only needed one book in your bag. I had a regular backpack and it suited me fine. The only time I needed more books with me was when...

  21. What do you think about community / public health nurses?

    RunBabyRN replied to stronginchrist's topic in General Students

    I really enjoyed it. I spent some time at a muscular dystrophy camp, so we had stuff beyond the usual bumps, bruises and mosquito bites of camp. Each camper had their own counselor, who handled most...

  22. What do you think about community / public health nurses?

    RunBabyRN replied to stronginchrist's topic in General Students

    There are plenty of avenues outside of the hospital for nurses. Community health is just one of them! Check out the specialties forum, but even beyond that, there are avenues to explore. Right now,...

  23. I'm transferring with less than a year until I graduate.... Am I crazy?!

    RunBabyRN replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    I think you're smart to look elsewhere. Accreditation is important when it comes time for licensure and job searching. Some jobs look at accreditation when they screen applicants. It's worth...

  24. Transcripts from multiple schools

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

    Yes, they generally need them all. I have 4 transcripts, and had to have them all sent to each school I applied to. Not all of them have stuff necessary for my

  25. Are they doing away with the ASN programs?

    RunBabyRN replied to ac9390's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can understand your concern, especially after hearing that from your friend. You'll be fine doing your ASN then bridging to BSN when you're ready. Just be aware, too, that in many markets, ASN...
