  2. Florida Hospital Winter 2016 GN

    Meeshie replied to Meeshie's topic in Florida Nursing

    Good luck! I am sure you're going to do fabulously. The move is coming.. slowly. So. Many. Boxes. I never realized we owned so much! Hopefully I'll be done in the next couple of weeks. We're shooting...

  3. Leaving Nursing for Another Career

    Meeshie replied to cocoa_puff's topic in General Nursing

    I kind of want to open a series of classes for 'adulting' some day. Basic cooking and grocery shopping, how to sew on a button, how to clean a house, how to do laundry, what is credit and why is it...

  4. Got chewed out by my clinical instructor

    Meeshie replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Students

    Next time act like the professionals you aspire to be? Sim lab hours are clinical hours. There is a minimum necessary to graduate and be permitted to sit the NCLEX. If you keep getting kicked out I...

  5. Resume/Background Checks for Gov't Jobs

    Meeshie replied to allthatshines's topic in General Nursing

  8. Feeling Frustrated.

    Meeshie replied to futurenurse16's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Can you contact your school and ask to set up a mock interview? Hopefully that way you can get some feedback on what might be going

  9. Zika

    Meeshie replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    No, but... I can tell you that the CDC is currently recommending that you wait 8 weeks after symptoms if you're female and 6 months if you're male before attempting to

  10. my gpa is low... b.s.n concurrent program or a.s. generic program? Seminole state college

    Meeshie replied to beyondbeautii's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since Florida doesn't allow grade retakes I'd go in and talk to the coordinators and see what they

  11. Steps to becoming a CRNA with an ADN?

    Meeshie replied to crna_loading's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    No. There are currently 115 accredited CRNA programs in the United States. They all have a required BSN entry plus 1-3 years of Crit Care experience (depending on the program) and various requirements...

  12. WILTW 9/13: Social Calls and Social Justice

    Meeshie replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    Also in the non nursing world - I've learned so much about my spouse this week while starting to pack our house. He's gone to our new location, already at work. I'm doing the majority of closing our...

  13. Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    Meeshie replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    I shudder to think about my crunchier mom groups discussing this. I'm sure the words 'plot' and 'big pharma' will pop up in there.

  14. WILTW 9/13: Social Calls and Social Justice

    Meeshie replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that getting a mortgage now is a lottttttttt more complicated than before the housing bubble went boom. I might have to get an apartment for a few months while I sell my current house and...

  15. Graduating w/ only 1 pair of scrubs

    Meeshie replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    A really quick google search found a couple of articles on the whole uniform and color coding issue. Color coding nurse uniforms : Nursing Management Medscape: Medscape Access What works:...

  16. Med Surg help- more efficiency in reading

    Meeshie replied to wannabeny's topic in General Students

    I made sure to get all my books as ebooks and I had my e-reader read to me. It would read to me when I was driving, when I was cooking dinner, when I was in the shower, when I was working out,...

  17. How to answer these types of interview questions?

    Meeshie replied to EP10's topic in Nursing Career

    I had a few doozies when I was interviewing. I also had some really interesting clinical questions. I was given a list of patients and asked what order I would see them in and why. I was asked what I...

  18. Your experience in nursing school

    Meeshie replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on what you mean by 'test off the book' but I'm thinking the answer is no. Nursing classes require you to understand - not memorize. For example you're not going to get a "what is the...

  19. Unsure about school?

    Meeshie replied to Tanisha123's topic in Nursing Career

    There's just no way of knowing, without knowing you, what you'll have to do to get through nursing school. I have a small child and I was still breastfeeding when I started nursing school. I did fine....

  20. How to answer these types of interview questions?

    Meeshie replied to EP10's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes, they really want you to start reciting a head to toe assessment. They want to know what you'd look for. There's no guarantee you'd know why she was vomiting. First - what is she vomiting? Is it...

  21. Graduating w/ only 1 pair of scrubs

    Meeshie replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    If money is too tight to buy supplies then you work more, or take out more loans, or beg. You're responsible for what you need. My school did not provide scrubs and our scrubs were monogrammed and...

  22. How to answer these types of interview questions?

    Meeshie replied to EP10's topic in Nursing Career

    I think that's part of the point of the question - putting you on the spot. Just answer it like you were still in school. They're not expecting you to know everything. You are, after all, a nurse new...

  23. 9-11 - Where were You? What were You Doing?

    Meeshie replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nursing News

    I was asleep when the first plane hit. I was a swing shift supervisor at a medical answering service. I got a phone call telling me to wake up and turn on the news. I managed to turn it on right as...

  24. Two sciences same semester?

    Meeshie replied to 123abc123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends... how good are you at science courses? How much time will you have to do your work? How long are the labs? It's all about what you can handle while maintaining the grades necessary for your...

  25. New grad with RN license

    Meeshie replied to mag426's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Patience. Some hospitals take a couple/few months to even respond to applications. I applied to hospitals in July that are just now contacting me wanting to schedule
