  1. Prereqs Help (Microbio/A&P)

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

    I'm with these guys. I took micro over the summer alone, and it was overwhelming (though doable). I couldn't imagine trying to take ANYTHING, let alone A&P, at the same

  2. Licensure by endorsement from MO to CA

    RunBabyRN replied to Berkeley08's topic in California Nursing

    You'll have to see which class (actually, I believe these are two separate classes) fulfills the requirement at each school, as the actual course number varies, but yes, the CA BRN is very strict...

  3. APA style guide necessary?

    RunBabyRN replied to dee789's topic in General Students

    This site was all we ever used.

  4. Future of nurse practitioners

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

    These guys have it right. The medical approach and the nursing approach are very different, and you need to find the one that speaks to you. That's why I chose to pursue midwifery as opposed to...

  5. nursing school in the fall, which book?

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

    I've heard from others that Saunders is a good one to use during school. I haven't actually laid eyes on it, so I can't speak from experience. If you play with key words on here, you'll likely come...

  6. Male locks (hair)

    RunBabyRN replied to ColorGreen's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think it really depends on the hospital and your geographic location. I'm near San Francisco, where I cannot imagine them even being a factor. However, I am sure there are plenty of areas of the...

  7. ADN to BSN credit by exam instead of papers?

    RunBabyRN replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Considering the emphasis on research and EBP in a BSN program, I would have to imagine there will, in general, be an emphasis on papers more so than exams. I know that the courses in my own BSN...

  8. HIV+/hepC+ fingerstick

    RunBabyRN replied to sfrn90's topic in General Nursing

    Double gloving? Exactly what does that do but tell the patient that you're uncomfortable?? I've drawn on hundreds of HIV and hep C patients, as I worked as a phleb before nursing school, and never...

  9. Industrial Piercing

    RunBabyRN replied to jessadarling14's topic in General Nursing

    You may have to take it out during clinicals. Schools want to be well represented by their students. I have waited to get my nose re-pierced until I have my first job (and I see what their policy...

  10. Options for scrub pants

    RunBabyRN replied to Myoclonicjerk's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Have you checked out scrubs stores in your area? I know I have a muscular build (I'm a woman, but it's the same problem), so being able to try one multiple styles and assess the pockets and such is...

  11. Time off

    RunBabyRN replied to springchick1's topic in General Students

    We went to Seattle last year for Spring Break, and this year, we went camping. I graduate in May, and am having a minor surgery I've been waiting for, since it wasn't feasible to heal while doing...

  12. Shocked by facial piercings at work

    RunBabyRN replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I am waiting to get my nose re-pierced until I see the policy where I have an offer (I'm about to be a new grad). I had it pierced years ago, but the job I accepted after did not allow piercings, and...

  13. Private University's

    RunBabyRN replied to Tink Nurse to Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's why a lot of us highly encourage considering state schools. The CSUs have great nursing programs, and many of them are now offering 2 year BSNs, something private universities probably won't...

  14. assistance in TEAs

    RunBabyRN replied to christineee's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I would HIGHLY recommend deleting your e-mail address. Remember this is a public forum, and you don't know who all is on here. You might try posting in Craigslist or on campus

  15. Chances of acceptance

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

    Have you looked at the stats for the schools you're considering? I agree with Don1984- honestly, those stats are low compared to the stats of those being accepted. Do you have any way to raise those...

  16. Private University's

    RunBabyRN replied to Tink Nurse to Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They vary widely based on locale. I know the ones up here (Dominican, Samuel Merritt, USF, etc) run about

  17. When to start CA BRN license application.

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

    I would start it sooner rather than later. The computerized system change led to a 90 day delay that has sidelined many of us. Your paperwork will be held while they wait for notification from your...

  18. ATI pharmacology

    RunBabyRN replied to RAM15's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Know dig toxicity. Know the parts of generic names that give away the type of drug. Sometimes you can look at the trade name as well to get a sense of what kind of drug it is. Pharm is definitely...

  19. Need help preping

    RunBabyRN replied to zinkon12's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You won't really know where to put your focus until you're in school. Enjoy having time to be social and sleep in while you can, because it will be gone soon enough! Congrats on your acceptance!

  20. Any RN's available to answer questions?

    RunBabyRN replied to Sasha13's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You need to learn the interview skills that are necessary as a nurse, and that is a big part of this project. We see these posts all the time, and every one gets the same response. Find someone you...

  21. Hospice care question

    RunBabyRN replied to dannygirl04's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Make sure you consider patient preferences in with this. Also, educate the family on what to expect as their loved one approaches their final breaths. The breathing, the sighs, there are so many...

  22. Please help me :(

    RunBabyRN replied to rosemary_petals's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How is she COPING? Look at your coping diagnoses. Does her anemia put her at any risks for which there are nursing diagnoses? Consider what she's been through physically (induction, birth) and how...

  23. Want a CA job-Go to a CA school?

    RunBabyRN replied to aposseadesse's topic in California Nursing

    Nice! All of that will be very helpful when it comes time for putting together your resume. I know the Sutter system seems to be one of the better ones (versus, say, St. Joseph, but I'm sure some...

  24. Hopeful SSU nursing student for Fall 2014

    RunBabyRN replied to meib92's topic in California Nursing

    Oh, also, for SOME clinicals, you have input over where you are, and you can choose sites that are closer to home. Community Health has sites all over, including Solano County, Marin, etc. Psych has...

  25. Hopeful SSU nursing student for Fall 2014

    RunBabyRN replied to meib92's topic in California Nursing

    One of my classmates commutes from Fairfield, and another from San Anselmo. The one in Fairfield also works! He's made it this far (graduating May 9), so I think if you want to make it work, you...
