    Treat Clinical Time with Respect

    BeachsideRN replied to MFaf's topic in General Students

    Skipping clinical? That's definitely not an option in my program! You will fail. I have seen students that get NA/Tech positions then come to clinical thinking they "know it all" though. Personally,...

    I will not defend nurses anymore

    BeachsideRN replied to lost soul's topic in General Nursing

    If the MD order was for salt water and not a pill, the nurse had to administer salt water. A nurse cannot change an MD order only the MD can make a change. ETA: if the MD order said salt water or...

    Advice Needed: When is it time to pursue something else?

    BeachsideRN replied to amelissa's topic in General Students

    As someone with an MPH I would not rely on public health jobs to get you "financially stable". In general, the pay sucks - especially without a supporting clinical

    BeachsideRN replied to Beachbum2010's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I found this on the NY Dept of Health website: " Relief of choking caused by a foreign body is usually appropriate, although if breathing has stopped, ventilation should not be assisted." DNR and...

    Enrolling as a part time matriculated student for preference in registering for classes?

    BeachsideRN replied to castorandpollux's topic in General Students

    I think the only benefit of declaring a major is to receive financial aid. Registration is first come, first served regardless of major or non-matriculating student, in most

    Graduate Nursing schools with no GRE

    BeachsideRN replied to kamododragon's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is a lot of tests. And all of them are timed. We are given 4 exams plus a final in the first theory class. 50 question - 65 minutes. I think you need to re evaluate your plans if you...

    Did I mess up my second interview??? (kinda long...)

    BeachsideRN replied to Nursing2102's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Also as far as the journal question - having been in research for many years prior to nursing I always read at least 1 abstract prior to interviewing as part of my prep. Usually something from the...

    Graduate Nursing schools with no GRE

    BeachsideRN replied to kamododragon's topic in General Students

    Microbes and health sounds like a liberal arts class and not a serious science course so probably won't count as microbiology pre-requisite. Being an EMT gives you some skills. Being a patient at NIH...

    Graduate Nursing schools with no GRE

    BeachsideRN replied to kamododragon's topic in General Students

    I think OP is looking for a direct entry MSN program that doesn't require the GRE because s/he is a bad test taker and their "math is rusty". At least that's what I've gathered from this

    BSN online programs

    Social Work undergrad to accelerated BSN/RN program??

    BeachsideRN replied to xceee's topic in Nursing Career

    The track makes sense. There are also some direct entry MSN/NP programs out there. There was someone recently who posted about going that route (directly from non-nursing degree to PMH-NP) you can...

    The only way to find out is to apply. However most hospitals use online application systems that not only ask you to input your education information but also ask pre-employment screening questions...

    RN-BSN more gen eds?!

    BeachsideRN replied to NjRN_1004's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    The RN-BSN bridge itself is only nursing classes but there are often (for accredited programs) other general Ed requirements. Any program that is offering a bachelor degree without general eds I would...

    Math Calculations Help!!

    BeachsideRN replied to MarySnov's topic in General Students

    First figure out which information is vital and which is not, get rid of the numbers that are unnecessary. Then work from there. Doing the math is the "easy" part so having someone else set up the...

    Enrolling as a part time matriculated student for preference in registering for classes?

    BeachsideRN replied to castorandpollux's topic in General Students

    Is there a pre-nursing or pre-health science major? Though I am not sure how that will give you any "preference". The schools I've been to just open registration up on a certain date and time to all...
