I'm in nursing school and while encouraged to stop (especially if no other responders are there) we were advised that once we do we have to stay on scene until someone "higher up" arrives. In which we can transfer care and rid ourselves of the liabil...

Loving it! This second quarter is going to kill me though!

Hagattha it's probably because we all got in this last go around lol and from my experience they draw the lottery on a Thursday so I'd look around the 5th :)

It's because they subtract points for retaking core classes

It depends on the area you live in. For example I live in an area that has several BSN/ADN/LPN programs and tons of hospitals clinics and LTC facilities so the market is good. But I spent 3 years applying to half of the schools in my area, and the on...

I'm currently in nursing school and know I don't want to do L&D or anything with babies. (At least that's what I feel now, but I am keeping an open mind). There are many facets to nursing and to each their own, if you have found yours then go for...

My school is fully integrated with ATI and the first cohort to graduate and test for the NCLEX was this summer. So far the word is a 100% pass rate, my cohort will be fully integrated as well, plus the rest of the changes our school has made to up th...

This is my "do over" and I am happy I got my chance to do so! Good luck to you all in your endeavors!

Be ware some places don't allow long sleeves (like my friend who works L&D ) so be cautious and ask the HR where you work/plan on working.

There are plenty of resources for anyone wishing returning to school. Plus if you have built up networking connections you can ask around your peers and see if there are other openings within your scope of practice. Even possible funding offered by y...

First off take a deep breath in and out... I as well was "partnered up" during my clinical in CNA school. I was VERY nervous my first "real day" on the job (nothing like puking out of nervousness on my first break!). Seriously though it is not as b...

Labs/clinical/off campus events I have two sets. Level one I'm sure at the other levels it will be different.

Here is some background information first: My school just opened a multimillion dollar health education building with all the bells and whistles! (We are the first cohort to have access to all the shiny stuff!) There have been multiple tours from oth...

*update* So I sent a professional email and no response as of yet but it doesn't hurt to try!

Oh no he gave me a business card from the company with all the official contact numbers on it then on the back of the card he hand wrote his #

It was only myself and the girl I was talking to that he gave his card to. (We were waiting for our turn to check off on a skill). I don't know if he talked to anyone else that day (the other students that were waiting to go after us were in the hall...

It is a hospital and clinic chain well known in my area (hence the privacy), and none of the schools in my state (except private ones) go by semesters. Also this is the agency that I've wanted to work for since I've wanted to be a nurse!! Thanks for ...

Not that news sources can be any more reliable. I just checked the CDC website and no updates since the 30th

That's good that you are putting school as a priority but don't forget to take care of yourself too!

I would just follow all the guidelines in your nursing handbook and hopefully you don't fall too far behind. The handbook should also have some guidelines on readmission to the program should you need it

I've always had the motto of go in sick so they know you're not lying but I know in health care it's not realistic I would just keep them informed as much as possible.

With that temp and diagnosis in my student nurse opinion I would go to the doc now so that way you could possibly still make clinic tomorrow. Also have you informed your program about your issue? Most of the time they just hate being surprised after ...

I don't mind underwire, but why spend money on a cute bra only to cover it with scrubs?? I bought VS sports bras during their semi annual sale for dirt cheap. 2yrs later both of them still function/fit properly and are in great condition!!

I don't know how many times I've been propositioned by those with electric scooters to "hop on"....

I'm at TCC and my friend in class got the call during a break in lecture!! She really wanted to go to pierce but since there are cuts after the interview and it doesn't start till winter quarter she has elected to stick it out at TCC with me!! :) she...
