  1. Nnp questions

    direw0lf replied to Meagan7723's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know a lot of AN'ers don't like this, but times ARE changing. More and more NP programs are tailoring their curriculum for RN's with NO clinical experience. I am not saying this is the best thing....

  2. Nnp questions

    direw0lf replied to Meagan7723's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah it can be confusing at first and sometimes I still get confused. Start with just one thing at a time, earning your RN. Don't make the mistake of thinking becoming an NP is an easier and equal...

  3. telling manager you want to take off?

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Thanks very much Lindseylpn! Good idea to offer to work

  4. telling manager you want to take off?

    direw0lf posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I work per diem as a PCT. I just worked this weekend. I asked my manager when she needed me again (she requested me today via txt) she texted me after I asked when she needed me to give her dates....

  5. how to survive acute psychiatric ward placement

    direw0lf replied to bindawang1989's topic in General Students

    I started psych this semester. What our clinical teacher tells us is that therapeutic communication is a skill that we need to work on and will improve in time. She also says that we've encountered...

  6. Is this a fair way to fail a student?

    direw0lf replied to duroch1's topic in General Students

    There's a few points going against you: 1. ONE assignment dropped you 4%. Which means you couldn't have had that many assignments or this one was worth more percent than the others. 2. If you didn't...

  7. Is working as nursing intern worth it?

    direw0lf replied to m&m0310's topic in General Students

    You could try to make the most out of it. I was told that techs/aids make the best nurses. I'm an aid! (I can only hope I'll be a good nurse) Hanging IV bags? Like just putting them on the pole or...

  8. RN-BSN...Drexel or Millersville?

    direw0lf replied to T.Eileen's topic in General Students

    Drexel is VERY good. I know an NP (acute adult-geri) who went there, and she can't say enough good about it. For a BSN degree, you want the same kind of quality education. It would make the transition...

  9. Do i really have to tell new employer about a BON intervention?

    direw0lf replied to Nursedina2011's topic in Nurses Recovery

    sorry I signed in and was somehow on a different thread. deleted

  10. Real shortage of nurses or bogus?

    direw0lf replied to RNFall2017's topic in General Students

    I love my nursing school. It's given me more opportunities than I could have dreamed of without this education. I am so thankful for the teachers here who have given me support and knowledge. The city...

  11. Nursing School Student Is LOST!

    direw0lf replied to CRODRIG's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I interpreted the dropping out of school as taking a break to figure out what classes she should take in order to achieve her desired end goal of working in dermatology or cosmetology. OP- If people...

  12. Nursing School Student Is LOST!

    direw0lf replied to CRODRIG's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My good friend who is graduating with me in May is going on to pursue her DNP (doctor of nurse practitioner) and will have a residency in dermatology! As an RN - you need to obtain specific...

  13. Applying to NP Programs Senior Year

    direw0lf replied to csat's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Why do you think it may hurt your chances applying prior to graduation and taking the NCLEX? Have you heard anything that caused you to think that? I'm also entering my senior BSN year and have...

  14. IV Piggyback

    direw0lf replied to rockster26's topic in General Students

    Maybe it depends how critical the primary fluids are? Because yes we run it 4 hours on a med-surg unit and the primary was

  15. Independent & Dependent Variables

    direw0lf replied to ccambiano_1991's topic in General Students

    Research can be confusing! I agreed with IIg's answer but I had a "cheat" way that might help you figure out it easier. I always remembered the IV and DV this way: DV is what is being...

  16. Why is A&P so hard?

    direw0lf replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Students

    Sciences weren't hard for me. The nursing classes, where it is not just memorizing and regurgitating facts or thinking formulas like Chemistry, were very hard for me to adjust my brain to at first!!...

  17. ADN or BSN?

    direw0lf replied to melodywei's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's so many ADN vs BSN threads that I didn't want to read this and clicked it by accident, then saw you have a unique situation. That could be why you got no replies yet though. My advice would be...

  18. Shall I buy or rent my pharmacology book?

    direw0lf replied to petagayle's topic in General Students

    My program includes a pharmacology class each semester so obviously I've bought mine, but there's nothing in it that I can't find online or in a drug book or sites/free apps like lexicomp or...

    Thanks

  20. NP School with a GRE of 300?

    direw0lf replied to outsidegirl's topic in Post Graduate Students

    What grad schools are you trying to get into? The competition doesn't appear to be all that fierce to me? But not sure where you are thinking of

  21. B student

    direw0lf replied to Marysan767's topic in General Students

    I wish you the best of luck! If you get a chance to write an essay or be interviewed when applying to the actual nursing program, remember your personality will be a big factor, maybe over grades. Let...

  22. "Prestige" Nursing Schools

    direw0lf replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Students

    But how do we know they are shelling out big bucks and not receiving scholarships? Sometimes it seems like a person may be bragging about a prestigious school or a BSN over an ADN degree, and then...

    This is what we do too. Only we use a new line for a different

  25. B student

    direw0lf replied to Marysan767's topic in General Students

    When you get a job your coworkers and manager will believe you're an A student without asking you if you show you're smart. So what I'm saying is that your grades on record don't impact how people are...
