  1. Poor RN professional conduct

    ATBStudent replied to Omgseriously's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Tattling sounds pretty high school to me. How about "I appreciate you letting me in on the secret, but we've had this no eating and drinking rule for years and I don't think that it is appropriate to...

  2. Poor RN professional conduct

    ATBStudent replied to Omgseriously's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    This is silly. You've essentially created a divide in your unit. Experienced nurses vs new grads. There is literally nothing good that can come of this. The new grads will feel you are unapproachable,...

  3. [POLL] is it a reason to NOT pursue nursing anymore?

    ATBStudent replied to ionelaitou's topic in General Students

    This is what I'm thinking. It would be a disservice to teach you to be a nurse in English when your career will require you to be a nurse in Korean. What I mean by this is that there is a large gap in...

  4. Future RN wanting to be an Anesthesiologist

    ATBStudent replied to Jaquada's topic in Nursing Career

    Go to medical school if you want to be a doctor. Your nursing school pre-reqs will not be the same as your med school pre-reqs and by the time you start clinicals, you won't have time to finish...

  5. Nursing Program Question

    ATBStudent replied to BK21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A BSN degree is 2 years of prerequisites and general education and 2 years in a nursing program. At my school, you started as a "pre-nursing" major and then in your sophomore year you applied for the...

  6. A simple list of what nurses do on a regular basis.

    ATBStudent replied to RolandWilliamson's topic in Florida Nursing

    I have no idea how long it takes to become an LPN. But it sounds like you're gonna do pre reqs. LPN. The 2 years to be an RN. Then 1-3 years to go RN-BSN, 2+ years of critical care experience, 3 years...

  7. How do CRNAs get treated by MDAs ?

    ATBStudent replied to april_tomorrow's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    My Mom LOVES being a CRNA. She gets along fine with the Anesthesiologists and many of the MDs in the hospital request her specifically for their cases. I think you just came across a wonky thread -...

  8. Prescriptions and Drug Testing

    ATBStudent posted a topic in General Students

    So I will be starting nursing school Fall 2014 and one of the requirements for the program is a drug and background test. A while back my physician thought that I may have a mild case of ADHD and...

  9. Lost and confused. Would appreciate any advice!

    ATBStudent replied to e1234's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was a lot like you. Top 7% in my high school and then just...tanked in college (as a bio major). Bad grades, depression...all of it. I will admit that the lowest my GPA ever got was 2.8 BUT some of...

  10. Just a rant rn-bsn

    ATBStudent replied to ChipNurse's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I haven't even started my program yet and just to accept my seat (no tuition involved) is $700 dollars. Plus $50 for sending my transcripts and $65 to apply.... Add in the cost of books for my first...

  11. Question About Change to DNP

    ATBStudent replied to JordanLeigh's topic in General Nursing

    From what I've seen. MSN and DNP programs require a BSN...maybe there's a MSN bridge since you have a prior degree...but DNP you will definitely need a BSN...along with several years of critical care...

  12. GPA to become a nurse?

    ATBStudent replied to Chabibeh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I failed a class once and had an adviser tell me to change my major "biology" and that there was no way I could ever get into medical school whether it be nursing, respiratory therapy ect. So I told...

  13. Feeling like a real idiot

    ATBStudent replied to 4mykids04's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Maybe I'm off base. But your username is "4mykids" ... What are you teaching them by just...giving up. You did the hard part. You got through school...and now you're just going to quit...without even...

  14. Nursing to Doctor

    ATBStudent replied to pre-unsure's topic in Nursing Career

    I think you're digging a bigger hole with that one. There are 7 nurses in my family and I guarantee you they will say they do make the biggest impact. They advocate, medicate, get meals, make them...

  15. Prescriptions and Drug Testing

    ATBStudent replied to ATBStudent's topic in General Students

  16. [POLL] is it a reason to NOT pursue nursing anymore?

    ATBStudent replied to ionelaitou's topic in General Students

    I think have a Spanish option at the ATM or on an automated phone line is a reasonable accommodation given that we live in a country with such a prevalent Hispanic community. Having professors make...

  17. [POLL] is it a reason to NOT pursue nursing anymore?

    ATBStudent replied to ionelaitou's topic in General Students

    I'll agree to that. The French for example (haha)...I just felt op was being unrealistic in their expectations for accommodation... Culture is a wonderful thing... I wish more people were open to...

  18. [POLL] is it a reason to NOT pursue nursing anymore?

    ATBStudent replied to ionelaitou's topic in General Students

    And yet Americans are known for their closed mindedness when it comes to culture and language. It's not ignorance. It's an observation of my own

  19. [POLL] is it a reason to NOT pursue nursing anymore?

    ATBStudent replied to ionelaitou's topic in General Students

    Not sure why you're arguing with me. You just made my point. The op is in Korea. He should learn Korean. The end. Also, you have no way of knowing how long those "people" have been in our country. So...

  20. [POLL] is it a reason to NOT pursue nursing anymore?

    ATBStudent replied to ionelaitou's topic in General Students

    Sigh. Only Americans can move to a foreign country and get mad they don't speak English. I would learn the language and culture of the country you're in. They don't owe you

  21. Graduating High School with ASN

    ATBStudent replied to KCW98's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It may take 2 years to get an associates in nursing, but for most people it takes an additional year or two to take all the prerequisites. Take a look at some of the requirements for the programs...

  22. Really need some great advice

    ATBStudent replied to Ms.Frank's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP my advice to you would be to continue on. Retake courses if you can - but don't quit. I got a C in a&p 1 and FAILED a&p 2 the first time I took it. I later retook it and got a B. I have a...

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

    ATBStudent replied to Ultraposh's topic in Excelsior College

    As someone who just finished a biology degree, I would caution you not to take it lightly. I don't know about the school you're talking about but in my experience, there is no testing out. Courses...

  24. What was your GPA, when you got accepted into nursing school?

    ATBStudent replied to Kimynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    3.0 but I have a bio degree and scored in the 99th percentile on TEAS. Starting my associates to bachelors program in August =]

  25. Possible needle stick

    ATBStudent replied to newgrad1988's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    If there's no mark in your glove I don't see how you could have gotten a stick. And if it just grazed you. It's really really unlikely that there was enough blood or penetration to transmit a blood...
