  1. Mom & Nursing Student

    RunBabyRN replied to KnottyNurse17's topic in General Students

    I just graduated, and I have a 5 year old. It's hard, but manageable. We made our time together count. Lots of hikes, trips to the beach, camping, that sort of thing in my downtime. And lots of...

  2. Fast Track Option for ADN program

    RunBabyRN replied to Natasha A.'s topic in General Students

    Your OP has changed completely, and your comment changes it further. I've never heard of a 3 semester ADN, and most accelerated programs are BSN. Programs are set, generally, in the order of classes...

  3. Is this a common attendace policy?

    RunBabyRN replied to Dazglue's topic in General Nursing

    Did you fill out an incident report? They should be paying for all medical expenses for work-related injuries, especially when it's something like lack of staff. My husband is permanently disabled...

  4. Fast Track Option for ADN program

    RunBabyRN replied to Natasha A.'s topic in General Students

    Is the program 12-15 units a semester, or are you talking about prereqs? My program was 15 units most semesters, except for one, and it was good. I have some classmates that worked, only a couple of...

  5. Question about A&P and nursing school future

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

    Agreed. They're tough! The study skills you've developed in those classes, however, will help you in nursing school. Nursing school will be faster-paced, so you may not be able to delve as deep as...

  6. Ideas for Internships?

    RunBabyRN replied to shannon81's topic in General Students

    Are there any schools in the area that offer a summer preceptorship? I know in CA, Chico State offers one, and a lot of people (even if they don't attend Chico) do that in the summer in between...

  7. Feeling like I'm biting the dust.

    RunBabyRN replied to trebleclefmama's topic in California Nursing

    What is your end goal? If it's not LVN, don't do it. There are even fewer jobs for LVNs than there are for RNs, whether ADN or BSN. If you're in a major metro area, you may want to go straight for...

  8. Staying motivated in classes that don't interest you

    RunBabyRN replied to lakmom12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took 3 classes last summer (including women's studies) that were all general ed that I had to take for the university, and it was TOUGH. Find a way to relate it to what you're doing in nursing, and...

  9. Reputable online programs

    RunBabyRN replied to 504 medic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did my first marathon on asphalt last summer... Probably my last. Halfs are about my threshold on pavement. Trails, on the other hand, I can run all day long with enough supplies with me. My...

  10. Psych rotation? What should I expect?

    RunBabyRN replied to katie92's topic in General Students

    No scrubs for us, either. We dressed business casual, and had to be conscious of necklines and tightness of clothing. We had a variety of outpatient sites we went to, as well as psych emergency...

  11. Do you think Nurses will be replaced by technology one day?

    RunBabyRN replied to giraffe4's topic in General Students

    I love all of this! Just think about all of the Back To the Future II parties that will be held next year! Flying cars and skateboards!! Woo hoo! And YES to the voice prompts. THAT is who I want...

  12. How do you read?

    RunBabyRN replied to Hailbop16's topic in General Students

    There's no physical way possible to take all the notes you'd need for pharm. I did note cards (still do as I'm studying for the NCLEX) for some stuff, but there's no way to remember every single...

  13. First Nurse Interview Experience

    RunBabyRN replied to Kellz321's topic in General Students

    Same here- must pass boards (for both jobs I have pending) in order to start working. I'm DYING to get my ATT. I've been studying like a mad woman, but I'm sure I'll never feel totally ready. Good...

  14. Did anybody buy a nursing mannikin to practice skills at home?

    RunBabyRN replied to strawberryluv's topic in General Students

    This is true. Nursing departments must have a doctor that can provide an order for the supplies they order (and sometimes distribute). I ran a skills lab for a program, and we had to have all of...

  15. Nail and skin care

    RunBabyRN replied to Mandy110609's topic in General Students

    I've tried a zillion different lotions, and Aveeno's the only thing that works for me. It's not instant if my hands are already cracked, but with maintenance, it works really well. It feels like a...

  16. Student Uniforms

    RunBabyRN replied to lepew's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    We had to have all white shoes, and I had an impossible time finding some that fit my funky feet. I tried THREE pairs (purchased and returned- one even RIPPED) before I finally had to break down and...

  17. RESUME for Newly Passed RN

    RunBabyRN replied to myphone's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Google will yield a variety of results. I would start

  18. Can someone please help me find interventions for my diagnosis of

    RunBabyRN replied to JulieV.'s topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I don't think you can say, "r/t herpes zoster" as that's a medical

  19. Clinical drama-question about personal property

    RunBabyRN replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    This is SO true. My offer comes from a NM who liked my performance in

  20. fear of failing

    RunBabyRN replied to xomanderrzxo's topic in General Students

    Fear of the unknown is very common! Keep the humility of knowing what you DON'T know, as that will help keep you from making dangerous decisions. :) Try not to stress, and remember that EVERYONE in...

  21. Nail and skin care

    RunBabyRN replied to Mandy110609's topic in General Students

    I carry a small container of Aveeno in my pocket. I use it after I wash my hands after caring for a patient, if I know I'm not going to be washing my hands again in the next two minutes. Saves my...

  22. About to put in the application.

    RunBabyRN replied to Shawn4455's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's a very individual experience. Plus, where you work makes a difference, and how you respond to your experiences makes a difference. Nursing isn't for everyone, and sometimes, people don't figure...

  23. Less than a year of experience and don't know what to do...helpppp!!

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

    I say apply for jobs and see what happens. If you get something, go for it. You don't know until you apply. But don't move or quit your job until you have something lined up. It's not worth the...

  24. Clinical drama-question about personal property

    RunBabyRN replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    NETY!! NETY!!

  25. Clinical drama-question about personal property

    RunBabyRN replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    I'm guessing by your responses to this thread that you're engaging way too much and are way too concerned about what others are doing. There are cliques in every class. That's life. I wasn't part...
