  1. Nursing Student Issues

    RunBabyRN replied to WanderLust07's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree that you need to approach her and give her the opportunity to correct her behavior before reporting her. As a student, she has different rules than the staff nurses, and that's just the way...

  2. Arizona Nursing Student- fish out of water

    RunBabyRN replied to momof3jboys's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree, you would be wise to be open to whatever is available when you graduate. I know that here in CA, new grads almost never get hired into L&D, which is why I am going into postpartum (I...

  3. When to start CA BRN license application.

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

    My school does this, too. The forms are all available on the BRN site, and fortunately, once you go over everything a couple of times, it's not that hard, but yeah, some of those little things are...

  4. When to start CA BRN license application.

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

    I only submitted mine a couple of weeks ago, but I know I have classmates who did mid-March. Their checks have been cashed, and they've heard from the BRN that they still need the school to notify...

  5. I feel like im an incompetent final year nursing student

    RunBabyRN replied to strawberry111's topic in General Students

    I agree, you're being too hard on yourself. You shouldn't feel like you know it all yet! This is your time to ask questions and continue learning! As SoldierNurse22 said, most people don't feel...

  6. How to record lectures?

    RunBabyRN replied to NurseSN45696's topic in General Students

    I agree with both of the above posters. We have one instructor that refuses recording, but the rest are generally fine with it. I've always used the recorder that came on the iPhone, and it doesn't...

  7. A Major and a Minor

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

    I agree, the business minor wouldn't do you a lot of good. You could take business courses during the summers or after nursing school, but there is no real benefit to minoring in business. Plus, as...

  8. Taking BOTH TEAS V and NLN PAX

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

    I never took the PAX, but for the TEAS, I purchased the ATI TEAS V guide, and I read it cover to cover, putting tabs on pages I needed to review. Then I spent my time going back to the pages with the...

  9. College grad/ military medic/corpsman going into nursing

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

    Former HM here as well. :) Do you have the right kind of experience to go HM to RN? I am not particularly familiar with this path, as my experience was outpatient, but contact the state board and...

  10. Summer classes?!

    RunBabyRN replied to mrsvickerie2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One thing to think about, nursing school is A LOT like your old class. There are plenty of times where there are things to know that weren't taught in class, or you have to decipher inconsistencies...

  11. Working part time while in Nursing school

    RunBabyRN replied to boragirl02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd told them how many hours I could work, and they were cramming in my hours (30 or so) while cutting others. It was very unfair. to all involved, and I felt forced out. It sucked, because I really...

  12. Looking for a specialty

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

    You don't have to choose a specialty now. Wait until you go through school and are exposed to different areas to make a final decision, and even then, be open to other areas of nursing. The way the...

  13. Chances of getting into California State University, San Marcos

    RunBabyRN replied to mwilliams951's topic in California Nursing

    Wow, that's late! For fall? I know my school has already notified people. Hopefully this is the only basket you need! I'd be on pins and needles, too- I know I sure was when it was my time!

  14. Nurse Salary?

    RunBabyRN replied to TheYouthOfMedicine's topic in Canada

    You may want to ask this in the Canadian forum, since you are in Canada. You could also ask your uncle what he pays nurses, since it sounds from your other thread that you expect you'll be working...

  15. Is your spouse supportive of your nursing career?

    RunBabyRN replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry to hear you're going through that. I agree with Don1984, it has nothing to do with you, and everything to do with him. My husband had a VERY hard time when he lost his job years ago (in a...

  16. Chances of getting into California State University, San Marcos

    RunBabyRN replied to mwilliams951's topic in California Nursing

    I am graduating from another CSU program, so take this with a grain of salt, but I'm guessing your chances are pretty good. I don't know how much weight San Marcos places on the TEAS, but even with...

  17. California endorsement to another state

    RunBabyRN replied to Eatrealfood's topic in California Nursing

    I have no idea how the two correlate, only that everyone having to deal with the BRN has been affected by the delay. I'm sure there are different areas they both go through, but I'm also thinking...

  18. PHCC Taking Prereqs...any advice?

    RunBabyRN replied to ICURN2017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Bummer you can't apply for spring; I know many programs here in CA will allow you to have a certain number of outstanding classes so that you can apply the semester before the program begins (and, of...

  19. Help! What school do I choose?

    RunBabyRN replied to hellonurse123's topic in General Students

    Also, just a friendly heads up, you may want to change your pic (and your SN, if that's your real name). AllNurses encourages a certain degree of anonymity, for your own protection. :) You never...

  20. Help! What school do I choose?

    RunBabyRN replied to hellonurse123's topic in General Students

    One thing to think about- where do you plan to work? With the job market as it is, you will need to make connections during school. That's how most people are getting jobs, myself included. The...

  21. New graduates with no clinical skills.

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

    Our school has very little skills lab as well. I know a lot of my classmates have been very frustrated with this. I'm grateful that I have extensive prior experience. Most of my classmates do not...

  22. Working part time while in Nursing school

    RunBabyRN replied to boragirl02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's worth trying. Save up money just in case that doesn't work for you. I quit my job about a month into my program because my boss refused to cut back my hours, and scheduled me for every single...

  23. Future of nurse practitioners

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

    I think you need to do more research on what's really happening in Canada and in nursing. Plus, things change over the years, and you have a couple of years before you even START your path. Follow...

  24. Dizzy during circumcision

    RunBabyRN replied to RavensNation's topic in General Students

    I precepted in postpartum, and that's the one thing I have SUCH a hard time with. I have an offer there, and the DREAD the day I have to be in there with a circ. We all have that *one* thing that...

  25. Yet another interruption on nights

    RunBabyRN replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Fun! Geez. I bet your patients are THRILLED! My goodness. SMH. Somehow I don't see this one lasting long... at least I
