  1. CRNA vs AA

    MB37 replied to grifftith's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Exactly. If you're only 22, is there a reason not to consider med school (not that it's the right choice, but should you consider it)? Are you an RN/in nursing school? If you are, it doesn't make as...

  2. Organic Chemistry? HELP!

    MB37 replied to iceman1613's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    That was my point - I don't understand why we don't have to take actual science courses to earn a bachelor's of SCIENCE in nursing. And yes, that's what my program required - general chem, bio 101,...

  3. All I do is study and it doesn't get me anywhere!

    MB37 replied to 4thGenNurse's topic in General Students

    They tell you not to use NCLEX books? How exactly do they expect you to pass the NCLEX? Do they ask that style of question (there are tons of examples on this website)? That's how we are told to study...

  4. What to expect first year clinicals?

    MB37 replied to hopefornursing's topic in General Students

    It's different everywhere, apparently. We do all of ours in the hospital, and our Fundamentals semester we didn't pass meds. We instead learned complete H to T assessment, and tons of skills - Foleys,...

  5. Hesi exit exams

    MB37 replied to iwilldothis's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It doesn't seem right to take it without warning - we have to take it to graduate, and score >850 or repeat our last semester, but we knew that from the day we started school. We take at least one...

  6. What's the difference between A&P for Practical Nurse and A&P for Registered Nurse

    MB37 replied to QUEBEBRAN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Depending on where you are, if you take the LPN course it probably won't count if you decide to go back to become an RN. The course for RNs-to-be probably would count for application to LPN

  7. Sex Discrimination or not?

    MB37 replied to VAC's topic in General Nursing

    I'm another who believes that any woman who sees or has seen (and didn't have an awful experience with) a male OB/GYN should cheerfully accept a male nurse. If she allows a male med student or intern...

  8. How many people who start NS finish?

    MB37 replied to BillyMan's topic in General Students

    What's the percentage of college freshmen who declare as premed that actually make it through med school and become physicians? I'm not going to try to compare the level of difficulty - I've never...

  9. Knowing what you know now about nursing, what other career would you have chosen?

    MB37 replied to 2bNurseguru's topic in General Nursing

    I'm only 3/4 of the way through NS, and I really enjoy it. However, and please don't flame me, I wish I would have discovered that I was interested in health care and extremely good at science courses...

  10. Applying for jobs as a GN

    MB37 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I don't graduate until August, but people in my class who want specialty positions are already applying, and one has already been hired. I want to go straight into critical care, so as a new grad, I...

  11. Applying for jobs as a GN

    MB37 replied to MB37's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks to all who responded. I wound up stopping by nurse recruiting today with one of my classmates who is interested in the same position as I am, in our scrubs, which we apologized for. The...

  12. Underwear and white scrubs?

    MB37 replied to LaLaEm4's topic in General Students

    I actually e-mailed my instructor and asked before clinicals started in our program, since outside of the hospital I'm a black thong type of gal. Our syllabus states that underwear must be worn, and...

  13. Organic Chemistry? HELP!

    MB37 replied to iceman1613's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I've always wondered why a BSN wasn't considered a "science major," and why a "health professional" shouldn't have to take challenging science

  14. *young student*Anesthesia CRNA HELP?

    MB37 replied to ragdoll6's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It's a master's degree program, and the easiest way to get there is to go to a university, and earn a BSN - bachelor's of science in nursing first. As young as you are, all you have to do is high...

  15. Did anyone quit smoking when they stated nursing school?

    MB37 replied to misserella8036's topic in General Students

    I haven't been able to. I tried the gum and then Chantix while in school - Chantix was effective, but it gave these crazy awful hallucinogenic dreams that left me awake in time for clinical with...

  16. ?CRNA vs a teacher?

    MB37 replied to yessy28's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Once you're in college, you can start taking the prerequisites for the nursing program. They're usually much harder than courses for other majors, and if you're considering nursing and want to...

  17. Healthy Clinical Lunch?

    MB37 replied to GypsyRose07's topic in General Students

    I bring my lunch to both clinical and class pretty much every day, for health and wallet reasons. I plan my grocery shopping each week and all our dinners in advance, so I only have to shop once. I...

  18. Should I get a job as a CNA if I am planning to get pregnant in the next 4 months?

    MB37 replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Nursing

    No idea what type of money you're looking for...in Tampa, CNA/PCTs seem to make about $11-13/hr, depending on shift and experience. I couldn't afford to do it, and not having the experience hasn't...

  19. Narrative Notes and Soap Notes HELP!!!

    MB37 replied to Serenitylove's topic in General Students

    Our SOAP notes are assignments we turn in, and the "A" is where we put our nursing diagnosis. The plan section is our goals, and if we aren't including "IE" we'd put planned interventions there

  20. Student starting ICU rotations

    MB37 posted a topic in General Nursing

    If you were going to be my preceptor, and I've never set foot in the units, what would you want me to be familiar with? I'm going to be in Neuro ICU for the first 6 or 8 days, then I switch to CSICU....

  21. Student starting ICU rotations

    MB37 replied to MB37's topic in General Nursing

    I've actually gotten to watch 2 codes already, although it was during my psych rotation on a day I got pulled to shadow a chaplain. We do a "mock code" in school, but not for a few more weeks. Thanks,...

  22. Rotating Shifts?

    MB37 replied to Purdue_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    That's one schedule I know I can't work - I've done it in the service industry, and I got fired for oversleeping for a shift since my schedule was so out of whack. I like evenings, and I've worked...

  23. "I have kids! I need to come in late, need more sick time, etc."

    MB37 replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    It's not a lack of sympathy for people who have kids, it's those few people who abuse the system that give other moms a bad rap. There are several moms, a few of whom are single, in our nursing class....

  24. List Of Lpn Schools In Tampa Area

    MB37 replied to Sincere24's topic in Florida Nursing

    I know someone at Galen's program who likes it, for what that's worth. I wasn't aware HCC had a waiting list - my old coworker who is now an HCC RN student got in right after she applied. Maybe she...

  25. Fundamentals V/S Med-Surg

    MB37 replied to KPolk RN2B's topic in General Students

    Um...who do you think does well in MS? The people who had to take Fundamentals twice because they failed? I have the highest grade in both of my MS classes (or so my clinical instructor told me...
