  1. What if you don't get into a nursing program?

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

    There's a long story as to why I didn't get in my first year, but I got in my second year. I worked two jobs in the meantime. Many of us don't get in the first cycle we apply, so having a backup...

  2. Yay!!!!!

    RunBabyRN replied to meib92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  4. Would this be considered competitive?

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

    You can't delete a comment, but you can start your own thread. No biggie!

  5. Would this be considered competitive?

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

    You need to knock the TEAS out of the park. The TEAS is generally counted as heavily as each of those. Study hard, and don't plan to repeat it. Do you have any volunteer experience? Some schools...

  6. Help me! Not teas material.

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

    Are you able to wait until after you've taken your prerequisite courses? They help a lot in some areas of the exam. The ATI TEAS V guide was what worked well for me. I read it cover to cover and...

  7. Starting Over

    RunBabyRN replied to tsweat1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would look at the schools to which you plan to apply and find out about your requirements. Work on getting your prereqs done. Spend some time on this forum- you'll pick up on all sorts of ideas,...

  8. ACCEPTED!

    RunBabyRN replied to efda2rn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yay!

  9. Gaining weight in nursing school

    RunBabyRN replied to freckles23's topic in General Students

    Have you thought about planning out your food? What about making the time for exercise? I gained about 15-20 lbs each year during school. The first year, I managed to lose the weight pretty quickly...

  10. Nursing Student

    RunBabyRN replied to RNAni's topic in General Students

    That's tough! She should have helped walk you through it. There are always going to be things that haven't come up in lab, and part of your instructor's job is to help you through

  11. Question for Mom's in Nursing School

    RunBabyRN replied to MizMaverick's topic in General Students

    My husband's support has been vital, and my in-laws are able to watch our son often, which helps immensely. I try to study mostly when my son (age 5 now) is at school, but sometimes I have to do it...

  12. Debating route based on my experience

    RunBabyRN replied to sb2203's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    See if you can job shadow a nurse and a PA. Civilian medicine is so different from military med (former HM here, too), so seeing what they really do and their approach to patient care may help you...

  13. Help!

    RunBabyRN replied to nursingstudent321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think it would keep you out of nursing school, and honestly, I'm not far enough along in the application process (I have an offer for once I am licensed) to know what all hospitals ask with...

  14. Mini-rant on specific program topics

    RunBabyRN replied to PaulBaxter's topic in General Students

    Yup, common issue. Many posts don't land in the fora in which they

  15. Nursing Externships

    RunBabyRN replied to studentnurseASN's topic in General Students

    Most of us start applying for jobs and externships at least a few months before we

  16. Opinions on this plan please?

    RunBabyRN replied to Gottawanna's topic in General Students

    Markets vary nationwide, but in most places, new grads are working very hard to find positions. It would be challenging to find a position with the kind of flexibility you seek, and a gap like that...

  17. Are nursing schools saturated, less applying?

    RunBabyRN replied to I'm_no_Genius_but's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Open positions posted does not necessarily mean openings that are being filled or do not already have someone lined up for said job. There are postings here, too, but even applying to 100+ positions...

  18. Stethoscope Recommendation?

    RunBabyRN replied to LaceElaine's topic in General Students

    Go with a Littman. You'll use it way beyond school. I've had mine for 10+ years now, and it works just as well as it did when I got it. You can have the bell engraved with your name,

  19. Don't do this in clinical..

    RunBabyRN replied to ArtClassRN's topic in General Students

    Wow, scary! I don't look forward to encountering those students!! I'm about to graduate, and thankfully, my class is, from what I've seen, awesome. I am one of the ones with the most prior...

  20. Business major at UC school transfer to nursing?

    RunBabyRN replied to 321GoForIt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would finish up the semester and transfer to a community college to finish up your gen ed and prereqs, then apply to ADN and/or BSN programs through community colleges and CSUs. If you know you...

  21. RSV precautions

    RunBabyRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just doing some review for the NCLEX with ATI stuff, and the ATI text didn't say what kind of precautions for RSV. Did a Google search, and came across this old thread, which is closed, so I couldn't...

  22. RSV precautions

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

    Yes, according to the CDC and most hospitals, it's contact and droplet, but for the sake of ATI and NCLEX, it's contact

  23. Chances of acceptance into a CSU nursing program / UTAH nursing program?

    RunBabyRN replied to specialcrayon's topic in California Nursing

    I applied in 2011 (but couldn't attend for complicated reasons) and again in 2012. Contact the departments and find out if they still do this. I know Sonoma does, as I'm about to graduate from...

  24. Communication Between Preceptor and Novice RN

    RunBabyRN replied to tritt3180's topic in General Students

    Congrats on making it this far! I graduate in May as well, and just wrapped up my preceptorship. What are some good and bad experiences you've had that I can learn from My experience was AWESOME. I...

  25. RANT: Fed up with nursing!

    RunBabyRN replied to shellebelle212's topic in General Students

    Are you looking to become a clinical lab scientist, then? If you like indirect patient care, it's a good way to go (I assume you're okay with all body fluids!). The only drawback I hear from CLS...
