  1. And...Done: allnurses gave me a smack down

    RunBabyRN replied to Stephalump's topic in General Students

    Hahaha, this! :) Congrats, OP! I'm with

  2. Using "Medical" terms

    RunBabyRN replied to Episteme's topic in General Students

    This. We can use a medical diagnosis as a "secondary to" for something, as some nursing diagnoses ARE r/t the medical diagnosis, but most nursing diagnoses are not, and this is where our instructor...

  3. Is Pharmacy Technician worth while?

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

    I think it would absolutely help you. Nurses have to know a lot about pharmacology, drug interactions, actions, contraindications, etc, and you'd learn a lot of that about a lot of meds as a tech...

  4. My heart is beating so hard

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

    Good

  5. Where is the Passion?

    RunBabyRN replied to ladyk84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you worked in health care outside of this one ER? I've worked in several facilities (a family practice/nutrition Naval clinic, a very small rural hospital, a freestanding birth center, and two...

  6. Anxiety is high; potential nursing program in turmoil

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

    I would start plan A, but ALSO enact plan B, in case you get in there, and things are horrible. You never know, they may somehow pull it all together (not likely). That's scary, especially with that...

  7. I don't think I want to be a nurse anymore

    RunBabyRN replied to Poly123's topic in General Students

    Aw, big internet (((hug)))! Well, only you can determine if nursing school and pursuing your desired area is worth jumping through these hoops now and learning what you need to know on the basic...

  8. Entrance exams

    RunBabyRN replied to Matkins88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Make sure you know which exam to study for, and purchase a specific guide for that exam. I took the TEAS, and I really liked ATI's study guide, as I found it lined up very closely with the exam....

  9. Wife is an RN, Can't find job in Las Vegas

    RunBabyRN replied to tschaefer's topic in Nevada Nursing

    She could also volunteer for a free clinic as an RN. That would be a good way to gain experience. Is she limiting herself to hospitals? There are a lot of outside-the-box RN positions in the world....

  10. Pharmacology to flashcards?

    RunBabyRN replied to oztudent's topic in General Students

    There are a bunch of threads with lists of meds people have recommended, particularly in the nursing student section. Try a few different key words and see what comes up. Be sure to read through...

  11. Kaplan Scores... Need encouragement please!

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

    congratulations!!!

  12. Computer shut down with 75 questions

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

    That's the good pop up! If you had a lot of prioritization, those are generally passing questions. Take a deep breath!!

  13. Can I get accepted into an Accelerated Nursing Program with a 3.25 GPA?

    RunBabyRN replied to swimmingfever00's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Gender won't help you or hurt you (nor should it). I'm not sure why you think that getting into an aBSN program will be easier than a PA program. You'd have to look at the history with those schools...

  14. Where is the Passion?

    RunBabyRN replied to ladyk84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like where you work is lame. It's not like that everywhere. There's a local hospital where I won't apply because that's the culture. The hospital where I have an offer is very different....

  15. how will the other school will know i taken teas before?

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

    I would contact ATI and just let them know you "accidentally" made a second account, and ask them to delete

  16. How many of us are happy we're done with this semester?

    RunBabyRN replied to SopranoKris's topic in General Students

    Thank you! I'm still too exhausted to be excited! LOL I still have ONE more response post to do tonight, and I'm trying SOOOOO hard to muster up the motivation to post it. I'm also in the thick...

  17. OU Traditional BSN 2014- Do any previous students have advise?

    RunBabyRN replied to clbrown84's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Look for more info online, any reviews. Start

  18. Discounts & deals for Nurses Week?

    RunBabyRN replied to mclennan's topic in General Nursing

    Uniform

  19. Bouncing around

    RunBabyRN replied to patty89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't imagine that would hurt you. Few people spend 20 years doing the same thing

  20. Low GPA..

    RunBabyRN replied to ilia_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I entered my program with the lowest GPA in my program (thanks to veteran preference), and I'm the only one with a job offer (and an interview elsewhere!). No one asks for your

  21. how will the other school will know i taken teas before?

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

    Yes it does. Many schools have repeat policies. I would do your TEAS under your original account, if the school won't care. Just in case of

  22. Is that hard???

    RunBabyRN replied to emde's topic in General Students

    It's going to be very different from any other class you've taken. You will have to study differently, and you will work for an A like you've never worked before. What's hardest varies for all of...

  23. How many of us are happy we're done with this semester?

    RunBabyRN replied to SopranoKris's topic in General Students

    I have my pinning tomorrow, so I am definitely happy!!

  24. how will the other school will know i taken teas before?

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

    I think if they DO find out, you could get expelled for academic dishonesty. Also, ATI might figure it out. I would proceed with EXTREME caution. And maybe take a look at your ethics, because...

  25. Nurse residency program cut in pay

    RunBabyRN replied to Purple Lady's topic in General Nursing

    The one here, you have to PAY to be in
