    Is Pregnancy During Nursing School Doable?

    BeachsideRN replied to 2bNurseHammonds's topic in General Students

    Definitely consider this. Pregnancy isn't always pleasant. I am healthy, fit, etc. not only did I have terrible morning sickness but I ended up on bed rest for 10 weeks d/t preterm labor. Then there...

    Inducing vs. Waiting

    BeachsideRN replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Also, from personal experience if there is anyway I could avoid a section I would. My water broke and baby turned transverse breech, so I had no choice but to have a section. I was

    Inducing vs. Waiting

    BeachsideRN replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Depends on the patient. In my personal experience my dr would not consider inducing until 40 weeks and I had been on bed rest from 29 weeks d/t preterm labor. In my case bed rest was working. If the...

    Inducing vs. Waiting

    BeachsideRN replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think much more information is needed to make any comment. In general, waiting it out is the standard of care but there are a plethora of other factors that affect the decision to induce or

    Walked in on a pt rolling a joint

    BeachsideRN replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Does the fact that he is most likely smoking pot outside his room affect his care plan in terms of pharmacological activity of his meds? It might be wise to discuss this with the provider. Otherwise...

    BeachsideRN replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "No. They're gonna throw the book at me for pushing **** into a patient who I knew was using" That is the question. Was he using and did you know or have a very good reason to believe that he was...

    Walked in on a pt rolling a joint

    BeachsideRN replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As far as your license/hospital reg worries. If you were asked to testify in a court under oath and they asked you if you knew this patient was smoking pot what would your answer be? Fact is you don't...

    Starting college in the fall, unsure what to take! In need of advice

    BeachsideRN replied to koalas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Personally I would take the algebra. At the very least go to class for the first week or so see how it is. Find out when the last day to drop without a W is and stay in the class at least until then....

    Starting college in the fall, unsure what to take! In need of advice

    BeachsideRN replied to koalas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Best advice. Let your advisor guide you. They actually do know what courses are best to take together. I'm assuming you've had math in high school, the longer you put off college algebra the worse...

    BeachsideRN replied to Ultraposh's topic in Excelsior College

    on another note, why do you want a BS in Biology? I would stay in nursing, there aren't many jobs for bachelor or masters level

    I want to do a BS Biology Major through Excelsior but they will only let me do a BA?

    BeachsideRN replied to Ultraposh's topic in Excelsior College

    Typically the difference is 1 or 2 math classes. At least that was the case for me when I got a BA in Chemistry (vs a BS in Chemistry) from a state school. In order to get the BS I would have had to...

    Private loan and no co-signer

    BeachsideRN replied to Davis.M's topic in General Students

    I think I'm missing something. 9500 federal loan + 9500 scholarship = 19,000. And you say tuition is 12,960 By my math you have more than enough. If on the other hand the tuition figure is what's...

    Two Degrees and Getting into Nursing

    BeachsideRN replied to tashbelle4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a BA in chem and an MPH. I'm starting a traditional program in the fall. It will be a bit slower paced than an accelerated BSN but I wanted to be able to maintain my sanity and spend time with...

    BeachsideRN replied to monicacz's topic in School, College Programs

    Online BSN programs are generally for RN (and) to BSN not career changers. You should only need to take the science pre reqs to get into a BSN program. Since you ready have the gen education...

    Dietetics to BSN

    BeachsideRN replied to LookingForward2016's topic in Nursing Career

    I would talk to recruiters in your area and see what they are looking for in candidates. There is no shortage so employers can be very specific in who (and how) they hire. Then do what will make you...
