  2. How Not To Bring Germs Home...

    RunBabyRN replied to sparky605's topic in General Nursing

    I leave my shoes at the door and strip off my scrubs immediately when I get home. I put them in the laundry inside out, but they get washed along with everything else. Never caught anything from the...

  3. Allergic to hand sanitizer

    RunBabyRN replied to ama3t's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen nurses carry their own soap and/or sanitizer. Whatever you use at home should be fine. You don't need special soap in the

  4. ADN to BSN advice

    RunBabyRN replied to Abkelk's topic in General Students

    Can you work for a little bit before doing a bridge program? That would give you an opportunity to catch up on stuff and save some money. Plus, as applesxoranges suggested, some employers offer...

  5. Med Error

    RunBabyRN replied to Stacey2010's topic in General Students

    Learn from it- what will you do in the future to prevent it? Many nurses will do something to remember that Pill X needs to be cut in half (aside from just taking a pill cutter with you). Mark the...

  6. ATI Fundamentals

    RunBabyRN replied to HeiragoNurse's topic in General Students

    Are you taking the practice tests? Take them all, and read every rationale. Part of what you're learning to do is answer nursing-style questions, where it's not just, "What is the right answer?" but...

  7. RANT: Fed up with nursing!

    RunBabyRN replied to shellebelle212's topic in General Students

    When were the statistics you're talking about posted? There hasn't been a nursing shortage in CA since at least 2008 when the economy tanked, and CA has one of the worst markets in the US. Last I...

  8. Effect of a grade of 'W'

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

    Different schools look at Ws differently. Mine doesn't care, but the community college where I did my prereqs really frowns upon them when you apply to their ADN

  9. Veteran/medical experience

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

    Both nurses and PAs piece together puzzles much like any independent provider. RNs are often the ones telling MDs what we need ordered. It's more about the approach you want to take. And yes, you're...

  10. Got a D in A&P 2..

    RunBabyRN replied to Tl70's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've never seen a program accept a D in a prereq. You'll need to repeat it for grade

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

    RunBabyRN replied to specialcrayon's topic in California Nursing

    Apply to Long Beach and Sonoma State- they both give vets preference! I got accepted into both for being a former Navy HM (you don't have to have been medical to get this preference, BTW). I'm not...

  12. Veteran/medical experience

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

    Welcome! Former HM here as well! 29 isn't too old at all. I'm 34 and graduating next month with my BSN, going back eventually for my CNM. There are plenty of people in RN programs in their 30s, 40s...

  13. Preceptorship done!

    RunBabyRN posted a topic in General Students

    It's so bittersweet! I finished my last shift last night, and am working on all of the paperwork that needs to be turned in today. I've really enjoyed the unit, and there's a position waiting for me...

  14. Any Former Veterans?

    RunBabyRN replied to stratus93's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Former Navy corpsman

    Thank you!

    RunBabyRN replied to Oliveijegb's topic in General Students

    Did you look at your results and the stuff you missed? That's the best way to

  19. ABSN/ Second Degree Nursing

    RunBabyRN replied to keegs13's topic in General Students

    Be aware that the Army will likely require experience before you can commission. If you were to do your ADN, you can gain that experience while you do an RN-BSN program, which would be significantly...

  20. Attending University of Youtube/Google

    RunBabyRN replied to travelgurl18's topic in General Students

    This is why I'm weird about MEPN and DEMSN programs. So many of them seem to lack what slower routes offer. I'm in a BSN program, and we do our share of utilizing Dr. Google and YouTube, but our...

  21. Nursing Grads/Almost Grads

    RunBabyRN replied to bostonstrong's topic in General Students

    Congratulations! I'm pretty emotional, and I know I'll be crying at graduation and pinning. I'm 34, and this feels like SUCH a long time coming. My parents and sibling didn't graduate from college,...

  22. New here!

    RunBabyRN replied to XoNurseFord2bxo's topic in General Students

    Welcome! If you want to get into L&D, better get used to emesis! It certainly happens! :) Good luck with work and

  23. Microsoft Office

    RunBabyRN replied to mmcc01's topic in General Students

    I had to get it, too, because my assignments wouldn't go through via Pages. It sucked! I do use it all the time, because everything needs to be either in PowerPoint or

  24. I want to travel too

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

    As someone with the travel bug, I would say to bang out school now and travel later. You can always travel with kids- my son loves to travel! We also travel without him. However, I know that being...

  25. Making the drive to Sacramento anything I need to know?

    RunBabyRN replied to pnkgirl25's topic in California Nursing

    They've stopped letting people do this because word got out and they got overwhelmed. Several of us talked about it, as we're about 1.5-2 hours from Sac, but that's what the word is
