  1. Pre-rep for nursing

    RunBabyRN replied to Gaylord27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That won't be an issue. Most students are transfers (I think we had maybe one or two "native" students in my entire nursing class). These days, native students don't have any preference over...

  2. NCP POSTPARTUM

    RunBabyRN replied to kminellie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    First, change your avatar to something more anonymous. You need to protect your identity on a very public forum, especially once you're a nurse. Next, you need to show us what YOU have done. We're...

  3. Are the RN-BSN programs less competitive to get into?

    RunBabyRN replied to ns808's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Different programs look at different things. You need to look at their criteria. Post-licensure programs are pretty impacted, too, but I can't speak to the comparison. Do your best to keep ALL grades...

  4. Please, help. I'm a failure.

    RunBabyRN replied to selectivemute's topic in General Students

    Are you in any kind of counseling? It sounds like maybe right now isn't the right time for you, honestly. Working 2 jobs is not conducive to a nursing program, and that compounded with life stress...

  5. Rn to Msn or Bsn to Msn

    RunBabyRN replied to Mmckenzie78's topic in General Students

    You need to look at the program requirements. I know that here, if you don't have a bachelor's and a RN, you can't get into a MSN program. You also need at least 1 year of RN experience, ideally in...

  6. Engraving on stethoscope - yay or nay?

    RunBabyRN replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't do more than my name. I'm not religious, but an engraving of my name would give me more security than a verse. I keep my stethoscope on my person at all

  7. How a stethoscope can get stolen?

    RunBabyRN replied to osi2011's topic in General Students

    Yeah, that's usually the case, or if you leave it in a bag or locker that's not secured. It's smart to write your name on it in Sharpie just in

  8. CNA to RN

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

    In San Diego, you'll absolutely need your BSN, if you want to work in acute care. Take a look at SDSU, or, if you can move, some of the schools in the surrounding areas. The CSUs are your best bet,...

  9. Should I be a nurse? Should I get my RN then BSN or go straight to BSN?

    RunBabyRN replied to solange1259's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree that nursing may not be the path for you. As a phlebotomist, I interacted with a lot of people throughout the hospital and in outpatient services. I enjoyed my job, but most of the people in...

  10. Buying books off eBay?

    RunBabyRN replied to 7237dallas's topic in General Students

    I use Half, which is eBay's sister

  11. Best Path to Midwifery...

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

    I'm not sure you're quite clear on how the path to midwifery works, but I think that's the point of your post. :) In order to be eligible to apply for a CNM program, you must have your BSN and be a...

  12. Curriculum in USA

    RunBabyRN replied to krewellarn's topic in California Nursing

    I agree with Meriwhen- the nursing Boards will be your best resource for this information. To answer your question in short, yes, curriculum varies some from state to state, as do the ways programs...

  13. Hopeful SSU nursing student for Fall 2014

    RunBabyRN replied to meib92's topic in California Nursing

    Yeah, Half is the way to go! I'm selling all of my books there now, actually. (I always recoup a good amount that way) Lemone and Burke is one of the books you'll use for multiple semesters....

  14. BA to MN or BSN?

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

    I've never heard of MN, only MSN. Is that what it is? My vote is for BSN, because it's hard for many master's-prepared nurses to find work without RN experience, but the same can be said about ANY...

  15. Anxiety about becoming a nurse over 50

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

    I just want to give you a hug! It sounds like you're so overwhelmed! Hopefully, things will calm down some, and the initial shock of losing the house and the break up will have worn off a bit by the...

  16. Kaiser Santa Rosa

    RunBabyRN replied to baby_rn2's topic in California Nursing

    Good luck! They're an awesome

  17. Hopeful SSU nursing student for Fall 2014

    RunBabyRN replied to meib92's topic in California Nursing

    Some of the books have changed since our class (we just graduated but the class just above you has a few different books). See if you can buy some of the books from them (or us... ). There were a...

  18. Nursing Student reading the hard to find a job after grad posts

    RunBabyRN replied to amberbay_19's topic in First Year After Licensure

    One thing to consider is that you need to think outside the box. I am starting a position working corporate health fairs, I have a phone interview next week for a position as an infusion nurse, and...

  19. What might I be doing wrong?

    RunBabyRN replied to bikegal50's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work at that hospital as a phleb! :) We probably know each other (I left in 2008). I think the kind of business you want to open would probably do well in this area. Would that make you...

  20. CBIT for Tourette's?

    RunBabyRN posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Has anyone had any experience with this? Certified? I'm considering getting certified, as my son has been diagnosed with TS, and no one in my area appears to be certified. I have been doing some...

  21. CBIT for Tourette's?

    RunBabyRN replied to RunBabyRN's topic in Psychiatric

    I don't think you have enough posts yet for personal messages, but when you do, please feel free to send me one with your e-mail address. If I can help with your daughter's navigation through the CSU...

  22. CBIT for Tourette's?

    RunBabyRN replied to RunBabyRN's topic in Psychiatric

    Cognitive behavioral intervention for tics. Has to do with learning to control the tics that come with

  23. CBIT for Tourette's?

    RunBabyRN replied to RunBabyRN's topic in Psychiatric

    Thank you, you are right. One place I looked did say RNs could do this, but the actual site doesn't say so. You're right about the boundary thing as well- I think it was getting caught up in the...

  24. What might I be doing wrong?

    RunBabyRN replied to bikegal50's topic in General Nursing

    You mentioned starting your own business. What kind of business did you have in mind? Just curious, are there red signs all over town about this hospital closing? Just curious if this is the same...

  25. infant assessment considerations

    RunBabyRN replied to jkirsc's topic in General Students

    Your textbooks should be your first resource. What have you found so far? What info DO you have on the
