    Every time an inconvenience happens in life, I've noticed that things eventually work out for the best. Don't get discouraged. Getting into honor society is an amazing feat

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

    That's what I did. I applied for so many hospital jobs and didn't even get to the interview stage in any of them until I had exactly one year of nursing home experience. I'm not sure how it is where...

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

    Overall, I would recommend the ED as a starting point for nursing students. Just because there's so many skills to practice: venipuncture, wound care, dressing changes/application, specimen...

    Yes, I'm a CNA, I think that's our unit's basic requirement for our tech positions. But we do have some techs that are EMT-Bs rather than CNAs. My ED is just so frustrating sometimes because of the...

    I don't work as a "student nurse" tech, however, I have a tech position in the ED which I obtained after a year of working in a nursing home. Gain your nursing coworker's trust! Try your best not to...

    I'm currently "studying" for my skills lecture final tomorrow! I'm so nervous because I need a 78% on it to pass with a 76% in the class. Surprisingly, it seems like the majority of my peers,...

    RANT, sick of certain nurses

    mindofmidwifery posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I'm so irritated, not sure who else to vent to. I was working on a trauma and had to leave my assigned section because I am also assigned to traumas. Was in the trauma room for 30+ minutes. One of the...

    HELP! ASN/ADN or ABSN

    mindofmidwifery replied to romanr0107's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    An ASN could allow you to work in L&D, however, many of the positions I've seen require a year of nursing experience before working there. ABSN programs are very intense and tbh I wouldn't go that...

    Starting nursing program in August...suggestions for summer?

    mindofmidwifery replied to coneal783's topic in General Students

    If you're gonna go over medical abbreviations, make sure they're the allowed ones. Studying dosage calculations would be pointless unless you need to brush up on basic math. I would just work if you...

    I work 6pm-6am in a hospital and sometimes work Sundays and go straight to school after on Mondays. On Monday,s I have class from 8am-2pm so it is a very long day. Of course it's doable but it's...

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

    Every semester I'm surprised when I look at the syllabi and most of my classes are based off exam grades. I don't think I've realized until I started taking science classes. English, math, humanities,...
