    Question from a staff nurse

    MotoMonkey replied to GeriRN17's topic in General Students

    I totally agree with Tonyl1234, let them do as much as they can. I am finishing my final practicum right now and I am extremely grateful for my preceptor. He has to supervise a lot of what I do, but...

    Failed AP + Lab

    MotoMonkey replied to Tim Burton's topic in General Students

    I am not sure anyone here can give you an answer with any certainty. I would call or email my schools admissions office, or whoever deals with nursing specific admissions and ask

    Need advice

    MotoMonkey replied to Futnur's topic in General Students

    Again, no one is promoting or justifying the behavior of these students, simply pointing out that without knowing all the information there is no way to say whether or not it was justified to let them...

    Need advice

    MotoMonkey replied to Futnur's topic in General Students

    All Abzurdity was trying to point out is that there is a lot about the situation that you do not know. So much of this happens behind closed doors between the student, faculty, HR, and other school...

    Secretly breaking contract

    MotoMonkey replied to lorias's topic in General Students

    This situation is 100% between her and the hospital. I can't see how it is any of your concern. If you are simply asking for opinions on the ethics of "buying out" a contract then I would say there is...

    Medic or LPN with the goal of being an RN?

    MotoMonkey replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What do your prerequisite grades and GPA look like? Could you take this year to retake classes and make yourself a more competitive applicant? From your original post it sounds like you are applying...

    How many care plans do you do?

    MotoMonkey replied to Rionoir's topic in General Students

    I am in the final semester of a three year BSN program. During the first year we learned about nursing diagnosis, learned about care plans, maybe had an assignment or two to practice them, and then...

    OHSU 3 Year BSN, 2019 Fall Start!!!

    MotoMonkey replied to Mermaid.RN's topic in School, College Programs

    I can only speak for the Monmouth campus, but we do not have any clinical opportunities in Portland. All of our clinical placements are relatively local. I think some of it has to do with the number...

    How many people made it to the end of the program?

    MotoMonkey replied to Snatchedwig's topic in General Students

    I am in my last term of a three year BSN program. We have lost two students out of about

    Vaccination for clinical

    MotoMonkey replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    No, not possible to enter clinical if you are not vaccinated. To great of potential for you to cause harm to a patient with your decision. Nursing may be a difficult field for

    Do you think interviews for nursing school can lead to discrimination?

    MotoMonkey replied to SilverNova's topic in General Students

    Maybe this is a phenomenon in your area, but your experiences certainly do not align with mine. My cohort is 28% male with many single parents and non traditional students. After our application and...

    Do you think interviews for nursing school can lead to discrimination?

    MotoMonkey replied to SilverNova's topic in General Students

    In my opinion interviews are in no way unethical, they are a standard feature of professional and academic life. Are job interviews unethical? It is really no different. I understand that it may be...

    Senior Practicum in Oncology Unit

    MotoMonkey replied to Wendy_z's topic in General Students

    I am not on a medical oncology unit for my practicum, but another student in my cohort is. He describes it as being very med surge like, but the majority of your patients have cancer. From my...

    Opinion: Is Nursing considered STEM Why or Why Not?

    MotoMonkey replied to Migrating's topic in General Students

    While I agree with you on some aspects, I do not believe that nursing should be considered a STEM field. A tangential relationship to technology, engineering, and math does not mean we should be...

    OHSU DNP

    Did anyone apply to the AGACNP

    Phlebitis management. Was this handled correctly?

    MotoMonkey replied to elephantlover's topic in General Students

    Often policies are left vague because situations may not always be "black and white." This leaves room for a nurse to use their experience and judgment in the decision making

    NCLEX to job, how long?

    MotoMonkey replied to JyRn18's topic in General Students

    I think that the answer to your question is completely dependent on where you are and the types of jobs you are applying to. In my area most hospitals have new grad programs and they hire for these...

    Do employers look at new grad grades?

    MotoMonkey replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Students

    At least in my area, no one asks about grades when hiring new grads. We are even told that it is best to leave GPA off of our resumes. My best advice would be to always keep working towards the...

    BSN did I make the right choice?

    MotoMonkey replied to MKG2018's topic in General Students

    RN, NP, PA, MD all have to small talk patients, they all need to be empathetic and have the ability to be "touchy-feely" when necessary. That is just part of caring for people. I think that without...

    Clinicals..

    MotoMonkey replied to poliwag48's topic in General Students

    Agreed, totally normal. In a year or two you will look back and be amazed about how far you have come in such a short

    Clinicals and 2nd language?

    MotoMonkey replied to prettyplanetearth's topic in General Students

    In my opinion, speaking a second language conversationally, even if broken, is a big help in the clinical setting. At no point should a student or anyone else, even if fluent, take the place of a...

    A&P II and Microbiology

    MotoMonkey replied to armyvet_futureRN8511's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that so much of that decision is based on your strengths as a student and what is required of you for each class. I took both of these classes together and found it completely reasonable and...

    I just graduated high school

    MotoMonkey replied to Hnurse2b98's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not completely sure if I am reading your post correctly, but it sounds to me like you are about to start pre-requisites at a community college and want to know of ways to get ahead for classes...

    Bookbag

    MotoMonkey replied to Chaco-latte's topic in General Students

    I really like my North Face Borealis backpack. It is very comfortable and holds everything I need. Though I will say that holding everything I need means my laptop, a small notebook, pens, and...

    How do you feel about B's?

    MotoMonkey replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Students

    Personally I would live with the B, but would continue to strive for an A. If the person has time to go to tutoring because they want an A or they simply want to feel that they have mastery over the...
