  1. rn acceptance essay

    MinneNurse replied to fallonfranqui's topic in General Nursing

    One more piece of advice, I wouldn't suggest posting your full name on a public forum like this. I was easily able to find you on Facebook. I'm not sure if you are able to delete this post but if you...

  2. rn acceptance essay

    MinneNurse replied to fallonfranqui's topic in General Nursing

    If there is no rubric, at the very least I would suggest making these edits: You need a new introduction. Your age and being are mother are not relevant to your application for nursing school. Your...

  3. rn acceptance essay

    MinneNurse replied to fallonfranqui's topic in General Nursing

    Are you applying to only one nursing program? Do they have a rubric as to what they are looking for in your

  4. Different Types of Patients?

    MinneNurse replied to NurseGirl525's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    I'm not sure I'm really understanding your question? Do you want to know what types of conditions do these patients have? Or what is their neurological/cognitive state? Or are you asking more about...

  5. Advice for college

    MinneNurse replied to Lydia1995's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be straight up with you and tell you that nursing is definitely stressful and although having the schooling helps you make decisions about how to treat your patients and so forth, it is still...

  6. Starting school, working mother

    MinneNurse replied to Keturkey862's topic in General Nursing

    Have you looked at any post-baccaulaurette programs? Other than that the MANE programs have RN-BSN completion as others have

  7. Lets talk pay and hospitals

    MinneNurse replied to tim06's topic in General Nursing

    I unfortunately cannot give you any insight on how much pay would be, but I do have a number of friends/family members who are nurses working in the metro area and make more than $30 as a floor nurse....

  8. oxygen in dying hospice patients

    MinneNurse replied to bmel's topic in General Nursing

    Well I didn't necessarily say you are going to get a lot of experience in hospice while in school (not everyone goes to hospice before they die) but you may certainly experience patients dying and...

  9. Hospitals discriminating against medical conditions..?

    MinneNurse replied to CosmoRN77's topic in General Nursing

    In response to hospitals having a no-narcotics policy - is this drastic? I'm asking because this is all I have ever known and I assumed this was standard. In states that allow medical professionals to...

  10. oxygen in dying hospice patients

    MinneNurse replied to bmel's topic in General Nursing

    You said this was something a couple of your nursing friends were discussing and that you are a student, are these nursing friends your classmates? Why don't you all (or just you if they are not your...

  11. Clinic staff ask pt how to find injection site?

    MinneNurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    My apologies ahead of time if this is posted in the wrong section. I need some advice as to if I should report a situation I experienced and who to report it to. I'm going to try to make this quick...

  12. Clinic staff ask pt how to find injection site?

    MinneNurse replied to MinneNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this, unfortunately it seems like quite a few of the staff members I've encountered there aren't familiar with the site at all. I'm not sure if this was never taught during their MA...

  13. Clinic staff ask pt how to find injection site?

    MinneNurse replied to MinneNurse's topic in General Nursing

    That definitely makes sense, and although I appreciated her comment about not having much meat, I'm not sure where that came from since I certainly have

  14. Clinic staff ask pt how to find injection site?

    MinneNurse replied to MinneNurse's topic in General Nursing

    That is a good question, I'm not sure who does their phone triage. I was specifically told there are no RNs on staff except for one APRN. I'm not sure if this is within the LPN or MA scope of...

  15. Clinic staff ask pt how to find injection site?

    MinneNurse replied to MinneNurse's topic in General Nursing

    That would all make sense except nobody there would have any reason to know that I am a nursing student. I've never shared that information with anyone at the

  16. Clinic staff ask pt how to find injection site?

    MinneNurse replied to MinneNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, they do not have any RNs on staff. Only CMAs and LPNs. Because of previous similar experiences with other staff not being comfortable giving ventrogluteal injections, I always request...

  17. Clinic staff ask pt how to find injection site?

    MinneNurse replied to MinneNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I am very thankful for her honesty, but I'm also concerned with her relying on the patient to provide information on where and how to find the appropriate injection site. It is not the patient's...

  18. Stupid looser nurse looking for work!

    MinneNurse replied to guest825264's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have no advice I just wanted to say congrats on graduating and passing your NCLEX

  19. Discouraged undergrad student about grades

    MinneNurse replied to molllyhenderson's topic in General Students

    If nobody has mentioned it yet (sorry didn't read all the comments from everyone!) find out if your university (or other universities you are considering attending) only looks at your nursing pre-req...

  20. Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    MinneNurse replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    For those asking, I experienced a similar type situation regarding not having the information to fill out the FAFSA, and what I learned is if you are under 24 years old, unmarried, do not have kids...

  21. Wouldn't it make more sense to have all nurses become Rn's first?

    MinneNurse replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Registered Nurses have the same license whether their education is ADN/ASN, BSN, MSN. All RN's take the same licensing exam (NCLEX). LPN's have a different scope of practice than RN's. Both positions...

  22. NP or PA?

    MinneNurse replied to nsc2x's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Sorry you're experiencing bullying at your job right now. Before I entered nursing school, I also worked as a CNA to gain some experience while completing my pre-reqs. There was a lot of aggression,...

  23. When do going back to school STOP!!

    MinneNurse replied to tlklvn13's topic in General Nursing

    For some people, "still being an RN" is substantial, and although there won't ever be an advancement to a "higher ranked" position without more schooling, many gain substantial knowledge and...

  24. Advice Needed: When is it time to pursue something else?

    MinneNurse replied to amelissa's topic in General Students

    You remind me of my friend, she always has to have a nice name brand purse, something with a label on the front or a monogram. Sometimes I get a little jealous because I like nice purses too, but I...

  25. Become a Nurse without Nursing School

    MinneNurse replied to Longa's topic in General Nursing

    I'd much rather just drop out of nursing school and head straight to the hospital to wing it at being a nurse with 3/4 the pay. that would probably balance out considering how those student loans pile...
