  1. Applying for jobs before finishing nursing school?

    Lemon Bars posted a topic in General Students

    I have heard that some students are able to line up new grad nursing jobs before they graduate nursing school and before they take the NCLEX. I myself am about to start the fourth semester of my BSN...

  2. Applying for jobs before finishing nursing school?

    Lemon Bars replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Students

    I was thinking of southern Oregon, maybe Eugene or Springfield or Ashland. Portland is beautiful but wow is rent expensive there. I'd have to have a relatively high starting salary to live near...

  3. Nursing School S-O-S

    Lemon Bars replied to ryanthedudeRN's topic in General Students

    If you enjoy clinicals then nursing is probably a good career for you. You're GPA is excellent so you must be pretty smart. If you study hard from the beginning to the end of each semester, I don't...

  4. Looking for nursing "Cliff Notes"

    Lemon Bars posted a topic in General Students

    I'm feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information in my BSN nursing program. IMHO the textbooks seem to be written by long-winded Ph.D type nurses who present the material in incredible detail,...

    Lemon Bars posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm in an RN program and I could use a little advice. Before starting the RN program, I worked in a hospital as a nurse aide in med-surg and hated it. I also work in a primary care clinic (mostly in...

  6. Going back to school at 30

    Lemon Bars replied to JJL618's topic in General Students

    I'm 45 years old, male, and in the second semester of a BSN program. I'm definitely the odd duck but everyone is nice to me and I help them whenever I can. Going to college now is a lot less fun than...

  7. A&P... is it really this bad??

    Lemon Bars replied to 17smr's topic in General Students

    A&P is not a nursing course. It's a science course that will give you some background knowledge so that you won't be completely lost when your nursing instructors start talking about medical...

  8. Does it get easier after anatomy class?

    Lemon Bars replied to Elsa15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes! Anatomy was the worst! And chemistry was also terrible. I hate memorization. Nursing school still involves some memorization, but not as much and you get to apply the information to a patient's...

  9. A lot of tension between students and faculty in my BSN program

    Lemon Bars replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Students

    Actually I'm attending a state university with a good reputation. This is supposed to be the top nursing program in the area, and admission is competitive. I and other students have been stunned by...

  11. What Am I Doing Wrong?

    Lemon Bars replied to hennezzy's topic in General Students

    La-chica you may have just provided a good answer to a different threat I just started. To the OP I agree with La-chica that being SNA president and being a top student are two different things. I...

  12. What Am I Doing Wrong?

    Lemon Bars replied to hennezzy's topic in General Students

    Lemon Bars posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello, I'm a first semester RN student. I know that incision and drainage and suturing are typically done by an MD, DO, NP or PA. But I also know that the field of nursing is broad and that sometimes...

  21. Best way to avoid bedside care?

    Lemon Bars replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    Your "between the lines" reading is not providing you with an accurate portrait of me. For $35 an hour, I'll change diapers or insert catheters all day. However, I do not like the idea that while I'm...
