  1. answered 265 questions on NCLEX-RN

    RunBabyRN replied to jaed09's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I haven't heard of that, but you can check the BreEZe website to see if a license number posts for you. Mine posted within 48 hours of taking the exam, but I also got the good pop up. I hope it...

  2. Fully drain distended bladder?

    RunBabyRN replied to haunani's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I believe the risk is hypotension, but I've heard it more related to ascites and other fluid balance issues. If the uterus is midline and lochia light, I don't see a need to drain 3000+ ml at one...

  3. Gift ideas for a newly admitted nursing student

    RunBabyRN replied to alwaystheoptimist's topic in General Students

    The stethoscope is great; what about adding a personalized tag for it?...

  4. Is cheating a double standard?

    RunBabyRN replied to 28studentsfailed's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure why you feel that you would receive closure from a public forum. What do you think we can provide, exactly? I think you need to pursue further counseling, and move forward. Even your...

  5. Anyone familiar with Samuel Merritt's Transition to Professional Nursing Program?

    RunBabyRN replied to RunBabyRN's topic in California Nursing

    I went ahead and e-mailed the point of contact for the program, and I received an auto reply stating she is out of the office until July 13 (and the deadline is the 11th). LOVELY. I'm going to call...

  6. Anyone familiar with Samuel Merritt's Transition to Professional Nursing Program?

    RunBabyRN posted a topic in California Nursing

    I'm considering applying (deadline 7/11), but I wanted to find out if anyone knows the employment rate coming out of this program? I would LOVE to work at CPMC (where they do the residency), and this...

  7. What to do after Nclex?!

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

    I was the same way. I gasped when the computer shut off at 75, CONVINCED I'd failed. Thankfully, my license posted less than 48 hours later. SATA, med questions, etc. mean nothing with regards to...

  8. reappling rn license after one year of bar

    RunBabyRN replied to CALLT84's topic in California Nursing

    You'll need to talk to the BRN to get accurate info on this. Best to get answers directly from

  9. ekg strips...what should you know

    RunBabyRN replied to blondie1887's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No, I really only studied from my nursing course materials on that

  10. Need Advice

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

    That's a matter of preference. Consider that there are more and more 2 year BSN programs, so you would be going to school for about the same amount of time (there may just be a couple of extra...

  11. Sociology

    RunBabyRN replied to w292737's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I say it depends on what you want to get into. Personally, I'm going into midwifery, so I'd choose sexuality and relationships. I've never CLEPed a course before, but I know a lot of people do

  12. Home Health Nurse Question?

    RunBabyRN replied to Kristina112380's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Home health doesn't necessarily require extra certifications, but it will definitely help. Home health is actually one of the easier areas of nursing to enter right now (along with skilled nursing)....

  13. Need Advice

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

    The major cities are especially particular about BSNs. You can find work in a non-acute setting (home health, skilled nursing, etc.), but hospital work will be tough, especially as a new grad. I...

  14. NCLEX anxiety

    RunBabyRN replied to Nurseash517's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think that's plenty of time, if you manage your time well. I did Kaplan, and read the Content Review Guide cover to cover, making note cards for stuff I needed to review. I feel like the...

  15. ekg strips...what should you know

    RunBabyRN replied to blondie1887's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Mine was about which of the rhythms you would treat with X, then the answers were strips. Know cardioversion and defibrillation, as well as basic

  16. MOMS: how many credit hours do you take?

    RunBabyRN replied to mrsbech05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I went back to college as a mom (my son was 5 months old at the time), I started with one class, then two, and built up to a full load. I didn't want to take on more than I could handle, and I...

  17. How often do you see/ deal with vomit as a nurse?

    RunBabyRN replied to AspiringRN27's topic in General Students

    It's not usually too bad, especially as it is generally into a proper container. I thought vomit would be really hard for me, as I've always been a sympathetic "vomiter", but thus far, I've been...

  18. Other Nursing Schools in Houston

    RunBabyRN replied to nursing212's topic in School, College Programs

    Especially if you "just" failed (as in recently). If you failed 5 years ago and are trying again, and you've grown up and had some life lessons in the meantime, that's usually more appealing than...

  19. Failed nursing school to psychology major?

    RunBabyRN replied to nursing212's topic in General Students

    I agree- why do you want to pursue nursing if you feel this way? Next, be aware that any program to which you apply is going to ask you why you think you failed and how you will prevent it from...

  20. Vaping as opposed to cigarettes?

    RunBabyRN replied to Carpediem1012's topic in General Students

    I wondered the same thing reading that.

  21. Vaping as opposed to cigarettes?

    RunBabyRN replied to Carpediem1012's topic in General Students

    We had one set off a smoke alarm when someone was vaping in the public bathroom one evening. Good fun! I can only imagine what a reservoir they can

  22. Work as CNA with RN License? Is this allowed?

    RunBabyRN replied to SwtPea2010's topic in General Students

    Exactly this. Few employers will take a risk of hiring an RN into a CNA role, knowing that said RN/CNA is searching for an RN position. It takes resources to train someone, and that's a liability to...

  23. Vaping as opposed to cigarettes?

    RunBabyRN replied to Carpediem1012's topic in General Students

    It's kind of like beer versus light beer. Still beer, but maybe a hair "better." If it truly works as a stepping stone, yay, but there are other tools out there as well. I wouldn't recommend it to...

  24. Thoughts about being a part of the first cohort

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

    This is a different scenario, but our school went from a 3 year BSN to a 2.5 year to a 2 year in a short time. I was in the second class that was 2 years. The class above us had a lot of headaches...

  25. Nursing Program Question

    RunBabyRN replied to BK21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think what you're talking about is a prenursing associate's, which differs from a nursing associate's (ADN). I know at least one person has posted about getting this kind of associate's, thinking...
