  1. Need help with the Neonatal Nursing Path

    sddlnscp replied to dragonjennifer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    llg is right. Also, when you begin your RN program and get closer to the OB/peds rotation, let your instructor know that you want to work in a NICU. You can request that they place you in one if...

  2. I have a question about becoming a ob nurse

    sddlnscp replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! Just wanted to add a bit to allthingsbright's response. That is correct, you will get your RN through your choice of ADN/BSN routes and it will be generalized. Then, when you are hired onto an...

    sddlnscp replied to Tweety's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Hugs Tweety!!! Hi Zoe! Hiker - I agree with you, I really care about my classmates and don't want them to think I am trying to make them feel bad, so I don't share unless asked either. And even then,...

  7. Anything good about CO nursing?????

    sddlnscp replied to Drexelgrad07's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Yikes Becca, that is scary, especially considering that the Springs is going to be the best option for me to work when I graduate. Oh well, I guess since I am going into it for love of the...

    sddlnscp replied to Tweety's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Thanks Hiker! And good job, I still can't figure out how to multiquote - hehe. Ok, a little off topic, but it is mental health I guess . . . I am sooooo excited! I just got back my grade for my...

    sddlnscp replied to Tweety's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Travel, sometimes breakfast just does that to you. At least you are planning on a good lunch to make up for it. Hiker - yep, we did lose our screen door - got ripped right out of the frame. But...

  10. Healthier Living Thread Part IV

    sddlnscp replied to Tweety's topic in Health, Stress Management

    LOL Tweety - apparently your body just plain 'ol needed the grilled cheese and fries. Yummy! We are out of about everything - I have got to go to town and get some groceries quick! I was watching...

    We were so lucky because we got the rain, but we got it overnight on Saturday night, and both Saturday and Sunday was beautiful! We are coming along good with the wind damage. I went to a livestock...

  12. A Different Approach to the ADN vs. BSN Debate

    sddlnscp replied to Sheri257's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Jjjoy, I agree with you. My father is a teacher and he had to have a Bachelor's Degree in education, which included what we would consider "clinicals" while he served his time as a student teacher....

  14. Would you put your family member in a LTC facility?

    sddlnscp replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    I know of one nursing home in our area that is absolutely fabulous and I wouldn't mind if someone put ME in there! The care is great, the place is not short-changed, the whole atmosphere is just...

  15. Is anyone else uncomfortable with this?

    sddlnscp replied to jill48's topic in General Nursing

    My thoughts exactly Gromit! Very scary. Hopefully she is not getting herself into a mess. I think it's frightening and it makes me never want to allow my parents or anyone I care about to go into...

  16. Moving to Colorado this summer

    sddlnscp replied to Raynebo's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Best of luck and enjoy Colorado when you get here! Don't let the negativity get you down, sure there are lots of people upset with the healthcare system in Colorado, but I also know a lot of happy...

  17. A Different Approach to the ADN vs. BSN Debate

    sddlnscp replied to Sheri257's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Dang-it! Well, at least you tried Lizz. I think you have a very valid point. Where I live in Southeast Colorado, there are two ADN programs and zero BSN programs. Therefore, if someone wants to...

  18. Is anyone else uncomfortable with this?

    sddlnscp replied to jill48's topic in General Nursing

    Gromit, I am not sure either, but I think (and I know, thinking can get you into trouble - hehe) that a CMT is a certified med tech. I was actually just discussing this very subject with a friend of...

  20. Getting Started-Please Help

    sddlnscp replied to CuriousPre-Nurse's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I haven't heard of that one. You should check with a few nursing homes and local hospitals first though. Sometimes the hospitals/nursing homes will pay for your CNA classes if you agree to work...

  21. Getting Started-Please Help

    sddlnscp replied to CuriousPre-Nurse's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm sorry, I'm not in the CS area, so I don't know for sure. I would suggest maybe contacting the local college/hospital and see if they can lead you in the right direction. Also, if you are...

    sddlnscp replied to Tweety's topic in Health, Stress Management

    LOL - Muffie, I know just what you mean. I ate good while my co-workers went to the new bakery in town to get their "free opening day donuts" - what is up with that? They are trying to punish me....

    sddlnscp replied to Tweety's topic in Health, Stress Management

  25. Healthier Living Thread Part IV

    sddlnscp replied to Tweety's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Thanks Zoe! I'm sure you learned a ton from clinicals. I have been frightened beyond belief up until recently, now I feel like I am actually retaining information though. It's funny though because...
