    Can getting one F grade on your gpa ruin your chances into getting into nursing school?

    seaofclouds21 replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Students

    Does the nursing school you are planning to apply to have requirements for the grades you must receive on your prerequisite

    Do you consider it helpful or not to be given a Pt’s attitude during a report?

    seaofclouds21 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    There are some aspects of behavior that I really want to know about in report, such as if a patient is touching staff inappropriately (grabbing or hitting). I also like to have a heads up if their...

    Thank you gift for unit that hosted my student clinicals

    seaofclouds21 replied to dura.mater's topic in General Students

    I would go toward something that will be okay sitting out in the break room for several hours. If it is something that has to go in the fridge, it will either go in the fridge and be forgotten for a...

    seaofclouds21 replied to Lmd9570's topic in Government, Military

    From what I remember, the age cutoff for a RN to enter the military was 42 and that was with an age waiver. Your best course for more information about this would be to speak with a AMEDD

    Is it even worth it?

    seaofclouds21 replied to Orientedindependent's topic in General Nursing

    It definitely sounds like there are some organizational issues. There should be someone on call 24/7 that you can reach out to when needed. I'm curious, what are you going to school for? I ask...

    Hiring Wait Time

    seaofclouds21 replied to KayGee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I've managed to have a job lined up about a month or so before several of my moves (my husband was in the military). You will need time to get your license in the state you are moving to and complete...

    Nursing School Needs Repair (And Why I Quit)

    seaofclouds21 replied to Barmherzigkeit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Were these programs accredited? Were they for profit? What is the attrition and NCLEX pass rate for these programs? What did you know about nursing school before you went into these programs? What...

    Ethical Dilemma

    seaofclouds21 replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    I would definitely talk to your instructor about the grade to be sure it is accurate. That being said, I have trouble finding the ethical dilemma in your post. Instead, I have many other questions,...

    respiratory therapist

    seaofclouds21 replied to nursingnurse2b1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't necessarily say it is a less physically demanding position. Depending on where you are working, you could be covering multiple units. That would mean a lot of walking from unit to unit. If...

    Once upon a time.

    seaofclouds21 replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    I completely understand how you are feeling. I really though I wanted to be a NP. Started the program and got to clinicals and realized I hated it. I didn't like being the one telling the nurses what...

    205 questions and passed!

    seaofclouds21 replied to Lpnbeast213's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations. It use to be that some people were randomly picked to take all the questions, regardless of how they had been doing on the test. I'm not sure if they still do that, but I remember...

    What’s in your bag/what should I have as a newbie?

    Straight Cath over 1000ml

    Nursing Medical Symbol: What is it about?

    seaofclouds21 replied to nursewithskills's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it is disrespectful to wear one before being a nurse. I would think about if a necklace is really what you want though because you will be limited on when you can wear it in the future....

    Should I work in a nurology clinic or an allergy clinic?

    seaofclouds21 replied to Nurse girl 13's topic in General Nursing

    Will you have childcare that gives you enough time to pick up your children if you are running late at the neurology clinic? I ask because daycares around here usually close at 6pm. If you will, I'd...

    Nursing exam

    seaofclouds21 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You should talk to the professor. Don't ask for a change in your grade, just ask for the clarification about those questions. Don't wait for the results, just talk to her as soon as you can and let...

    See everything

    seaofclouds21 replied to al3x117's topic in General Nursing

    It really depends on the hospital. Med/surg units eventually get just about everything, but not until they are stable. Many large hospitals have individual units for different areas, such as separate...

    Best Nursing Job for A New Nurse

    seaofclouds21 replied to happyeveryday19's topic in General Nursing

    Best is a bit subjective. What are your career goals? What are your interests so far? Have you had any clinical rotations that really stuck out for either as something you would want to do or would...

    How long to wait for an interview

    seaofclouds21 replied to ksusn's topic in General Nursing

    Did you give your application to her directly or apply through the facility's website? If you applied through the facility's website, she may not be aware that you applied, so you might want to give...

    Please help!

    seaofclouds21 replied to Chun's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What is your actual assignment in regards to the research project? Can you research anything you want or does it have to be related to nursing in some way? Do you have specific examples of how the...

    What’s in your bag/what should I have as a newbie?

    seaofclouds21 replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    The calipers are really only necessary if you are going to be looking at tele strips and measuring the intervals. The hemostats are great for helping get those IVs that are connected too tightly...

    seaofclouds21 replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    The nurse you gave report to is responsible. That being said, I've always seen the charge nurse jump in and help as well, especially when it comes to giving additional information in emergency...

    What’s in your bag/what should I have as a newbie?

    seaofclouds21 replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    I think everyone covered most of the stuff I have. I have extra pens, highlighters, calipers, scissors, hemostats, extra hair ties, a drink, basic meds (ibuprofen, tylenol, tums, etc), stethoscope,...

    Should I Still Worry about Mark's?

    seaofclouds21 replied to Prysm12080's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, they can still matter. Are you already in the nursing program? If not, some nursing programs use your grades for entry criteria. Also, if you plan to continue your education, many programs have...

    Accessing a port

    seaofclouds21 replied to Ruth63's topic in General Nursing

    If I remember correctly, there is an IV certification LVN/LPN's in Texas can obtain. I'm not sure if that allows them to access ports or not. Honestly, this is more likely driven by facility
