  1. I am interviewing for my first nursing position after nursing school and just found out that an illness I have had for the last 3 months was something I picked up at one of my clinicals and is...
  2. I just finished school too. We were always told to read ahead before class, but most of us never did. I found recording lectures to be useful until they banned it at our school for 'ethical...
  3. For Fun: Spiral Notebooks or Binders?

    Take it from a nursing student about to graduate. Get in the habit now of using the 3 ring binders because all of your info will come from massive amounts of printed powerpoint presentations (30-40)...
  4. Does anyone else feel like...

    Just hang in there! :) Alot of students ( I would say the majority) go through it, and it's all designed to see who wants it bad enough. We had people dropping like flies! Believe me, if I had any...
  5. Hi all, I am graduating from an RN program in August and got a call from Henrico Doctors Hospital to come interview for their CCU internship. Can anyone comment on the hospital, it's CCU, the staff,...
  6. Need info on Henrico Doctors Hospital...

    Hi there, thanks for the info. I have actually started the process for VCU/MCV. Henrico wants me to work 7p to 7a. I was hoping to get a position with a bit more flexibility. I've only been...
  7. I am graduating with an RN(previous bachelor's in "Social Work) in August and received an invite from a hospital to come interview for their CCU internship (4 months)and RN position. I never applied...
  8. NVCC Pre-requisites?

    For NVCC I believe it is A&P 1 & 2, Human Growth & Development through the Lifespan, chemistry, psychology, ethics, and Microbiology. It is all listed on the NVCC nursing department...
  9. Nova in Manassas Virginia

    That is correct, the classes are only held at the springfield medical campus and the 2 year wait might be how long it takes to get the pre-req's done. I go to Marymount, but my friend goes to NVCC...

  11. Need info on Henrico Doctors Hospital...

    Thanks for the info. I have done clinicals at Reston HC also. can you be more specific or PM
  12. Shouldn't it be left up to the patient to decide as long as it isn't an emergency? After all, it IS their arm being stuck....why shouldn't the patient be able to choose? I know I really appreciated...
  13. I Passed My Nclex!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Congrats! I'm taking mine in August after graduation and have heard many different opinions on how to prepare; or if it is something you can really "study" for at all since it measures everything...
  14. IV meds that crystallize when mixed??

    Thanks! I think she was just trying to scare us because she stopped asking after awhile,and no student ever had an incompatibility. You were right about the hep locks and central lines, but we...
  15. I would factor a minimum of $2,000/month. 1300 for housing and utilities if living alone, and 700 for you. If you share a place, you could probably get away with 1000/month rent and utilities and...
  16. How competative is Marymount University?

    I am a student there now. Yes they are incredibly competitive and expensive. As you can see by my name, the program at Marymount is no joke. Be prepared for the hardest struggle of your life. But...
  17. Vet tech calling herself RN

    There IS such a thing as a veterinary RN. And even Vet RN OR assistants. It is not a title used widely in the U.S. The only VET RN Bachelor Degrees I have seen come from Australian Universities, but...
  18. 77% Rule

    We have a 78% rule.... but it's for the final grade, not the final exam. My guess is since Finals are comprehensive, they figure if you don't get a 77 you are not ready to move on to the next level....
  19. Received an "F" for a "B"!

    If anyone out there can offer me some advice, I'd be so grateful. I am in an accelerated second degree AAS program at a University in VA which I will not name. I and 3 other students are currently...
  20. Hi there, From my experience, the best things that you can get to make your life easier are the following: For clinical, get a cheap watch with a seconds hand that you won't mind tossing if it breaks....
