2. Moving/Lifting Patients

   Sdt222 replied to Belli3's topic in Nevada

   In Pa it seems to differ depending on the facility. I don't believe they have state wide policies regarding lifts/moving that I have ever heard

3. Beard as a male nurse?

   Sdt222 replied to Jarl Redbeard's topic in Men

   I have a short well trimmed beard and had no problems in clinical. Also I work as an orderly. Anyone who doesn't pass fit test has to grab a full head mask when in a room requiring respirator.

5. Why aren't I getting into my nursing program?

   Sdt222 replied to direw0lf's topic in Pre-Nursing

   SAT score should be irrelevant. I was always under the impression they were an indicator for your ability to handle/ succeed in college level classes. If you have a decent amount of creds under you belt I don't see why it would matter. I am in a prog...

6. hesi fundamentals

   Sdt222 replied to Nur2015's topic in HESI

   In my experience its best to really have a good working knowledge of what you are learning in your fundamentals course. Take Your Time and think the questions out. My first test I rushed and just didn't feel like doing it. Scored 780 73 conversion sc...

   If you have a reading score of 89 and passed the rest of the sections. I would be SHOCKED if you didn't get in. Decent science score helps also but you should be good!

8. BS in non-nursing and soon to be RN via ADN

   Sdt222 replied to MissMeeks's topic in ADN/BSN

   I have heard of specific programs for bachelor to bsn. They sound pretty intense but could be worth it if you already have your bachelors degree.

9. Experienced RN at age 50; No jobs?

   Sdt222 replied to gwlillith's topic in Job Hunt

   I would think the bsn, but also in my experience jobs posted may have been unofficially filled before they were posted. Some one in house usually has a head start

    I'm also a new nursing student into early thirties. I have been doing very well on my tests. I would say to read the questions carefully to determine what is really being asked and how it relates to what you are being taught. Safety is usually at the...

    I'm currently in my first clinical rotation. I work as a transporter at a hospital I know has students from my school. My clinical is not there. I was so glad it wasn't however now I kind of wish it were. I have been at my job for a long time and kno...

12. My husband is in nursing school

    Sdt222 replied to graphicdesigner22's topic in Men

    Newly married new male nursing student here. Light socializing without the spouse seems fine. 8 hour study group seems a little excessive to me. My wife is supportive as anything but I have to remind her sometimes that I need my time for studying and...
