  1. Nursing Internships Abroad

    RunBabyRN replied to Bluebell.'s topic in General Students

    Sounds like an interesting idea! I agree with cracklingkraken about contacting your nursing school about this. There may be an instructor that knows a lot about this. I know we had one, and when I...

  2. What are the toughest classes in nursing school?

    RunBabyRN replied to JDK1's topic in General Students

    I agree, it really depends on the person. Instructor makes a difference, too! For some people, it's maternal child, but for me, that was easiest, because I've worked in that area and plan to pursue...

  3. Can i still make it even though i got a c in a&p?

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

    You'll need to do well in the classes you have left. Sometimes we have to take some transferable courses just to boost our

  4. Most terrifying thing?

    RunBabyRN replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Students

    Hahaha! We never did anything nearly that intimate with each other, though when I was in the Navy, I performed Paps on many of my friends. We all worked in Family Practice, so that's just what...

  5. Ways to beef up experience?

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

    Also, a friendly heads up, you may want to change your avatar to something more anonymous, as you never know who may come across your posts one day. Anonymity is highly regarded on AN!

  6. Ways to beef up experience?

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

    New grads VERY rarely get hired into L&D, regardless of prior experience. I have an offer in postpartum (just waiting to take my NCLEX, then we can move forward!). California, as you know, is...

  7. Charge nurse pay

    RunBabyRN replied to Blandini7's topic in General Nursing

    Our unit (and I'm sure hospital) does a 5% differential, and you may or may not have patients, depending on the

  8. Sutter Health pre employment testing:New M/S Traveller @ Alta Bates, Oakland/Berkeley

    RunBabyRN replied to ldboyles's topic in California Nursing

    I can't give you the info you seek, but just letting you know that you cannot yet send or receive private messages, as you do not have enough posts. You'll have to go through this thread, or wait...

  9. Can i still make it even though i got a c in a&p?

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

    Definitely check to see what the schools require. For our program, you had to have a B minimum in all

  10. A&P I and II??

    RunBabyRN replied to GingerRN17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yours is how mine was. It's the same thing. Some places do them in combination, and cover some systems one semester (both A&P) and the rest the next semester. I took them separately like you....

  11. Will my previous exposure to A&P help me?

    RunBabyRN replied to dc1994's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would imagine it will help you a lot. You'll have certain concepts down, which will allow you to focus on the stuff you don't already know. You'll have an advantage knowing the planes and what...

  12. Pre-Nursing Concerns

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

    I think most of us are nervous before doing a given skill for the first time. Much of what we do is invasive, simple as that. We stick needles in people, we put tubes in where tubes don't normally...

  13. Allowing Corpsman to Become Nurses

    RunBabyRN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Government, Military

    I applied to 10 nursing schools, but because I went through the VA, I stuck with state schools. The one I attended was 2 years (for BSN) and required CNA. It was also the most feasible, as we were...

  14. Do employers in your area consider GPA?

    RunBabyRN replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    I find that it is. More people have been interested in my prior experience (as a first responder, then corpsman, then phlebotomist) than my

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

    RunBabyRN replied to nursing_student93's topic in General Students

    Same here. I feel like those DE-MSN programs should require other medical experience, or something. You shouldn't be able to do that with an art history degree.

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

    RunBabyRN replied to nursing_student93's topic in General Students

    Hahaha, "I'm a master's prepared nurse. Mastered what I've never done

  17. 2nd Degree BSN / career changer

    RunBabyRN replied to Grad 2020's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I second what Heathermaizey said. It's going to be difficult, if not impossible, to find a program that will work around your work schedule. Simple as that. Programs are very intense, and I HAVE...

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

    RunBabyRN replied to nursing_student93's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is basically just a step for me, as my ultimate goal is to be a certified nurse midwife. But, like ThePrincessBride said, no one wants to hire an APN with no RN experience. You're...

  19. Most terrifying thing?

    RunBabyRN replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Students

    I think nursing school is more overwhelming than terrifying. That said, every now and then, you know that what you're doing with a patient could, if you screw it up, kill them, and THAT can be...

  20. NCLEX it's come to this...

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

  21. nurses can't get sick.

    RunBabyRN replied to Sherriblu's topic in General Nursing

    Is the culture where you work this way about a lot of things, or is it more supportive in general, and this was a big surprise? If it's the former, it might be time to consider a new

  22. New Grad- Starting a job in Post partum

    RunBabyRN replied to Scooter24's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Congrats! I'm a new grad starting in PP as well (once I've passed the NCLEX). I precepted on the unit, so I was able to get a good feel for the unit. Definitely ask questions, and learn where your...

  23. Allowing Corpsman to Become Nurses

    RunBabyRN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Government, Military

    I looked into challenging the LVN boards when I got out (as a corpsman), but because my experience wasn't in a hospital setting, I wasn't able to do so. What's frustrating is that THAT is your only...

  24. NCLEX it's come to this...

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

    LMAO! I'm sorry to laugh, but that's funny. Hopefully it's a good

  25. Kaplan vs. NCLEX

    RunBabyRN replied to KeepCalmNurs3On's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Did you watch the videos for Kaplan yet? The test taking workshop and strategies? Those two are recommended to watch prior to starting the class. Do you have the content review guide yet? Chapter...
