i am so curious about various areas of nursing. what is a typical day in hospice (nursing) like ? thanks

OK I have a question...... So my question is , if a new grad starts on a psych unit, is she boxing herself in for psych and only psych ? I asked the nursing recruiter I have been speaking to this very question and he said "No because many of the psy...

Hello, I will be a new grad in May. I am in Texas, will be graduating from a TX ADN program. What would i have to do to relocate to Florida and obtain my RN license ?? Has anyone done this ?? We may be relocating to the St. Petersburg area.... thi...

I am glad someone started this thread. Is it possible for a psych nurse to eventually go into HH ?

kewl beans. I love your positive attitude ! Thanks.

Everythng I have ever done is not as bad as people make it out to be. I remember LITERALLY being in 2nd grade everyone saying how hard 3rd grade was going to be, being in Jr high hearing how HARD hs is etc. etc. Nursing school is hectic and challen...

Hi all. I just started clinicals at the hospital a few weeks ago and we are there from only 6-2. We are only doing basic ADL's and observation right now but the time goes by so slow. (we are on a med surg floor, BTW) There just really is not much...

I graduate in 07 and plan to work in med surg for a while and then hopefully get into home health. I think I would enjoy the independence and freedom and the driving really does not bother me. We shall see !

you will get used to the gross factor. i think everyone has their little things that make them go ewww like me i hate feces ! a friend of mine hates yacking sounds when people vomit. that personally does not bother me in the least. You'll get used...

that's really strange, bc i live in the area and have never ever heard of any new grads having a hard time finding a job. it may be on med surg, but they get jobs ..

I feel like everyone knows more than me !

well it just doesn't make things any easier. I think it takes alot more energy to be ugly than be cordial or at least neutral.

gosh are we at the same place?? I really dread clinical days lately. I'd say the majority of the nurses are the way you described at our clinical site. I am not criticizing, etc. but it's just the way it is. Last week one of thenurses actually s...

I'm in my 2nd semester and I feel as though everyone is doing better than me. My scores are not that good and it seems like I am constantly having to redo skills to get checked off on, that is if I find anyone who needs a foley, or IV dc'd, etc. I ...

i do have the same problem at times. not as severe but the nurses at our hospital, particularly on the med surg floor have not been very receptive to us students. I understand , but it does not make it any easier . I feel so much like i am intrudi...

maybe do they mean, like friends, or family ? I would definitely have the same problem too if letters weren't allowed by teachers, etc.

thinking of you ... hugs.............

Just be careful, trust me the isolation is good and you don't want it on you! I got mrsa about a year ago and it was a horrible experience. It was painful and left hideous scars on my leg, one which looks like a cigarette burn. All it takes is a ti...

I am a first year ADN student and I am thinking about transferring to lamar, as my husband wants to move closer to his parents (they are getting older) also how is the program overall, etc . i have posted on this before and i didn't get many or any...

Hello ! I was wondering if anyone could tell me abit about the prospects of this area - is there a good nursing market , etc. Also, does Lamar accept transfer students from other nursing schools ?? I have never transferred a school before , but my h...

Hi everyone, I am going back and fourth on an issue. I am in the first year of my 4 semester ADn program. THIS SUMMER we can do clinicals all summer and sit for the LVN exam in the mid fall. This is basically working 40 hrs a week, straight throu...

i wear one spritz of a light body splash from bath and body works - just a dab! :kiss

texancanadian, i'llbe surprised if you don't get in w a 11.5:cool:

the adn programs are competitive too. mine had 800 aps and 30 get in !

i'm just a student nurse, but can't one loose their license over something like this ??
