  1. SSU RN program- how should I prepare

    RunBabyRN replied to CaliRN's topic in California Nursing

    You may be able to PM me now that you have 20 posts (I think that's what's required... I can't remember). A focused assessment is an assessment that is focused on a certain set of diagnoses. For...

  3. SSU RN program- how should I prepare

    RunBabyRN replied to CaliRN's topic in California Nursing

    Congratulations! There are a couple of threads in the California forum that you might be interested in. I've posted a lot of info on there about the program, which you may find helpful. I just...

  4. drug guides, and stethoscopes and pen lights, Oh, my!

    RunBabyRN replied to ixchel's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Congrats on graduating! *Class of 2014 Represent* The Cardiology stethoscopes are great. I have one of those and a Master Classic, which is the one I tend to use, but I'm not in ICU. I would think...

  5. Clinical drama-question about personal property

    RunBabyRN replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    Exactly. Same goes for any work environment. I don't think any of us can say we've worked somewhere where we love and adore everyone, but it's part of our job as professionals to at least be civil...

  6. What street clothes do YOU wear in nursing school?

    RunBabyRN replied to bluestorm's topic in General Students

    THAT would be annoying. We were on campus all the time, and my scrubs would never have been clean for CLINICALS! If I was on campus all day to study or whatever, I would be irritated to have to wear...

  7. Clinical drama-question about personal property

    RunBabyRN replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    *waiting* I couldn't agree more. I'll bring the

  8. Clinical drama-question about personal property

    RunBabyRN replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    This wasn't my experience, and I just graduated. There were cliques, and people that weren't big fans of one another, but we all behaved as professionals, especially in

  9. Hospital Corpsman to Navy Nursing

    RunBabyRN replied to Zii2013's topic in Government, Military

    I think the first thing you need to decide is if you want to be a corpsman or if you want to be a nurse. If you sign up as a reservist, it's usually an 8 year commitment (unless things have changed a...

  10. acceptance letters from nursing programs

    RunBabyRN replied to MicrobioloLI's topic in General Nursing

    If they JUST stopped taking apps, it'll probably be at least a couple of months before they notify you. My school stopped taking apps in January, and notified in April. Different schools are on...

  11. Clinical drama-question about personal property

    RunBabyRN replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    REALLY??? God, WHY are you so wrapped up in these girls? You have SO much to learn about life, and I assure you, focusing on these "skanks" and "stupid girl" is a big fat waste of time and energy....

  12. Clinical drama-question about personal property

    RunBabyRN replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    No, sadly she did, and seems to think she's taking the high

  13. Hospital Corpsman to Navy Nursing

    RunBabyRN replied to Zii2013's topic in Government, Military

    Not sure if this was directed toward me, but I'll answer. I went into the Navy in 2003. I had to wait 11 months from the time I went to MEPS to the time I went to boot camp (I was ready to go that...

  14. What are the toughest classes in nursing school?

    RunBabyRN replied to JDK1's topic in General Students

    I've heard really good things about using Saunders NCLEX review guide during school from multiple people, but cannot personally attest to this. I would get just one if I were you, so you don't...

  15. Hospital Corpsman to Navy Nursing

    RunBabyRN replied to Zii2013's topic in Government, Military

    Clinicals aren't flexible, and schools don't make exceptions for people, even military, when they have hundreds of other candidates who CAN attend all clinicals. Also, be aware that recruiters will...

  16. Clinical drama-question about personal property

    RunBabyRN replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    What did your professor have to

  17. Advice for externships

    RunBabyRN replied to sesiliachan's topic in General Students

    Talk to your nursing department about this particular question. I know that here, over the summers (as our program is only fall and spring), there is an opportunity through another university for...

  18. First externship in a psych floor, what to focus on?

    RunBabyRN replied to Coumarin's topic in General Students

    She's right- very little of the physical skills. However, you will work A LOT on therapeutic communication, and you'll still need to assess people. For example, vitals are very important to watch if...

  19. What street clothes do YOU wear in nursing school?

    RunBabyRN replied to bluestorm's topic in General Students

    I wore whatever for lecture. No PJs or anything like that, but just normal everyday clothes. We were required to wear scrubs for skills

  20. Acute care/New grad

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

    Time as a CNA will not be counted toward experience as an RN. You may or may not have an advantage with your experience, but you can leave an impression with managers along the way and see what...

  21. Easiest Specialties to get a job after graduation

    RunBabyRN replied to Nursing24/7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I see a lot of home health and LTC/SNF positions on Craigslist, and was offered a position in psych (in addition to the one in postpartum I told you about in your other post). From what I've heard...

  22. Hospital Corpsman to Navy Nursing

    RunBabyRN replied to Zii2013's topic in Government, Military

    I would get your CNA certification, and work as a CNA while you do your nursing stuff. HMs can't do a thing in the civilian world more than a CNA can (in CA, we can't even do EMT). Enlisting doesn't...

  23. Ways to beef up experience?

    RunBabyRN replied to Nursing24/7's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Pretty much. BUT, having prior patient care experience of ANY kind, really, will help you to get more comfortable with touching patients and asking them embarrassing questions that are necessary...

  24. Any other BSN students thinking about applying to NP school?

    RunBabyRN replied to nursing_student93's topic in General Students

    Around here, most new grad positions are per diem, and many full time positions are being cut in an effort to save on having to pay benefits (even though they pay a per diem

  25. Is It Necessary?

    RunBabyRN replied to osi2011's topic in General Students

    I like my MacBook, personally. I have all of my e-books downloaded (the ATI books), I have my course notes, I use it for my papers, and I can easily haul it to Starbucks to study as needed,...
