I'm looking for a good medium to full coverage foundation that will stay put under a mask all day. Before people jump on me for being vain, I have a skin condition that I would like to keep covered. Patients and families will see me without a mask, a...

Honestly you probably don't have to worry about fresh IV skills to get into an OR. All of our IVs are started by techs in pre-op. If one has to be done in OR, anesthesia handles it.

Does anyone know if the eline BSN program is still available? I'm interested in finding out more about it. The website is pretty minimal as far as information goes. I've called and emailed the advisors multiple times, but I haven't heard anything ba...

We try to use a wheelchair for all of ours. However the occasional local or MAC insists on walking out. We walk with them, making sure they get into the car safely.

I'm not sure which group to post this in, so I will start here. I work in peri op now, and I find the OR fascinating. However, I am in a specialty hospital where we do one specialty only. I'm very interested in cardiology, and I'm curious to know how...

Thanks! It's great to hear from someone that has experience in both.

I posted this in the periop section as well since I didn't know which place would be better. I work in peri op now, and I find the OR fascinating. However, I am in a specialty hospital where we do one specialty only. I'm very interested in cardiology...

I've been there! My top choice program did a transcript review and ended up telling me I had to take 4 or 5 courses I hadn't already taken but that I'd also have to retake 9 other courses because they wouldn't transfer! How a graduate level statistic...

It sounds like we have very similar backgrounds. I also have a Bachelors and a Masters in health care but not nursing, and I'm going back for a second career as well. My plan is to do the ASN because it's part time and will allow me to work. Initiall...

Clovis CC in New Mexico. I think it's $89/credit. I took chemistry through them last semester and am taking micro this fall

I have 2 pairs of sockwells. I do love that they're thicker and warmer than the others. They are just a tad too short for me. I need about 2 more inches on them.

This is a career change for me, so I won't qualify for federal loans. I'm paying for pre-reqs as I go. I will work during nursing school and hope to get some scholarships to offset the cost.

I'm from the DFW area too. Unfortunately I could never get anyone from the program to respond to my emails and phone calls. I sent multiple emails and finally several months later I got one back asking if anyone had gotten in touch with me. However w...

Are the Sanitas as hard as the new Danskos? Do they have as much arch? I've tried on Danskos but 3 steps is all it takes to leave my arch feeling bruised for a week! Even the xp ones which are cushier have too much arch.

You could do it by seniority. Those who have been there longest pick their first week vacation, then it travels down the line, and back to the start for their second week (or however many you get). It's a tough call on how this works for just holiday...

This is why I'm making the jump from sports medicine to nursing! I love the huge variety of opportunities, and I'm betting I'll never get bored knowing I love change!

I was under the impression that you were required to work in a qualifying facility but that it was up to you to find one and get hired. Do they actually assign you to one? How much say do you get in your specialty, such as med-surg vs ER?

I have seen a few schools that offer a bridge between paramedic and ADN. I believe it's a one year program similar to the LPN to ADN bridge. I don't know if you are willing to move for school, but perhaps there is something similar near you.

I'm in the same financial position as you, lots of debt from previous schooling with potentially lots more for an ABSN. After lots of consideration I decided the right thing for me is to do an ADN then bridge to the BSN. It will take me an extra seme...

I'm not yet a nursing student, but I do work in healthcare and had clinicals where I heard the exact same thing! I was told I was too quiet, didn't ask enough questions, or seemed uninterested/unhappy. Ironically I was one of the top performers in my...

He wants to view you beforehand? What purpose could that possibly serve?! Awfully reminiscent of middle school PE where they choose teams until that one poor kid that is always chosen last is left standing.

Lol. My guess is almost all, which definitely dampens the appeal!

I'm in a similar position as you. I have a BS and MS in a healthcare field, but there is no upward mobility in my career so I'm planning on going to nursing school. I gave a lot of thought to an accelerated BSN vs an ASN. I really thought I wou go wi...

We use PA's where I am, and they probably average 60 hours per week. I was just talking to a NP the other day who keeps a similar schedule plus takes call for 3 weeks out of the month, which actually means 80+ hours a week.

I wear the cheap ones from the local scrub shop, and for me they work just as well as the pricier ones I ordered online. Neither listed the actual compression but I'm sure they are on the lower end. I'd say just get a few pairs and give them a try. ...
