  1. nursing small talk.

    mindofmidwifery replied to brandi2007's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I originally pursued nursing to become a Certified Nurse Midwife. After becoming a CNA and working in a nursing home and then a hospital, I fell in love with the healthcare field. I no longer want to...

  2. Pct Or cna

    mindofmidwifery replied to Murphjen's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Where do you live? Where I live, most PCT positions prefer or require a CNA license or prior

  3. Who enters orders in the hospitals you're at?

    mindofmidwifery replied to PnwRN84's topic in General Students

    In the emergency departments I've worked at, nurses and physicians generally enter orders. In the adult ER I've worked at, techs were able to enter EKG orders after the doctor signed them. In the peds...

    The health system I worked in provided EKG and phlebotomy training but they were both done off

  7. Fall 2017 Chat

    mindofmidwifery replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I'm at that point where it feels like nursing school is going to last FOREVER. It's literally slugging by and it makes me sad because it seems like nothing in my life is going right. I'm not...

  10. RN Program Combined ALL Classes into One Class, HELP!

    mindofmidwifery replied to HeatheRND's topic in General Students

    My school is like this except pharmacology is separate. The first semester we had fundamentals/med-surg mixed in with all the patho for each topic. This semester it's the same + OB. Next semester...

  11. VERY First Clinical

    mindofmidwifery replied to Gemini616's topic in General Students

    My first clinical was last semester at a nursing home :) we didn't do too much besides vitals and full assessments. We got to pass meds one week. I'm in my second semester now and I'm on a medical...

  12. Working during school

    mindofmidwifery replied to nivalr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I didn't have to work I'd probably just be prn at a hospital. I currently have two jobs, both of which are very flexible with my school

  13. Dropping undergrad to take CC courses?

    mindofmidwifery replied to Aidank90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sometimes I wonder if I made the right decision but looking at myself and at the long term, I wouldn't have enjoyed a typical desk position and I don't forwsss myself having gone the ABSN route...

  14. Dropping undergrad to take CC courses?

    mindofmidwifery replied to Aidank90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is what I did. I chose to drop my undergrad in business at my state university and pursue nursing at a community college. I completed all my prereqs and the rest of my general eds at the CC and...

  15. Is There EBP Behind Two-Step Blood Pressures?

    mindofmidwifery replied to Future-NurseRedHeart's topic in General Students

    I've actually read that results are similar whether you do one step or two step BP. The reasoning behind it, from what my instructors have said, is so you're not over or under deflating the cuff. I'm...

  16. How far is your commute to clinicals?

    mindofmidwifery replied to PnwRN84's topic in General Students

    I go to school in a city with ~850,000 people. My clinical commute this semester is about 30 minutes, but, I live in a smaller city outside of the large city. There are about 9 hospitals that we can...

  17. Fall 2017 Chat

    mindofmidwifery replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's my second semester in my CC's ADN program and I'm done with the first week. I'm taking med surg/OB and pharm II. I thought I'd have a larger bookstore allowance from financial aid so I have to...

  18. Schedule changes

    mindofmidwifery replied to Jen13's topic in General Students

    I think to a certain extent, this can be normal. My school tells us we need to be flexible because there is always a chance for things to change. I'm in my second semester and I have not experienced...

  19. What do you think of taking Pharmacology online?

    mindofmidwifery replied to herewego23's topic in General Students

    I took anatomy, got a B and I took physiology and got a C. My school breaks pharmacology up into three online courses. I took the first one this past Spring and got a B and will be taking the second...

  20. Fall semester classes '17

  21. Fall semester classes '17

    mindofmidwifery replied to ErikaD360's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Me! Well, my school separates anatomy and physiology. But I took anatomy alongside micro. In my opinion, anatomy was MUCH easier than micro. I enjoyed what I learned in micro but it was much more...

    mindofmidwifery replied to WestKyKing's topic in General Students

    This sounds exactly like my story! Started out with a 1.2 GPA my first year of college (straight out of high school) and I'll be starting my second semester of nursing school this coming Fall. If...
