    Should I finish my bachelor's in Sociology before I start a BSN program?

    carti replied to -ambie-'s topic in General Students

    What can you realistically do with a sociology degree in terms of employment? Don't you need to go to grad school or something? If I were you, and you heart is set on getting your BSN, I would start...

    Is my school risking my safety?

    carti replied to karmachameleon's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No student-nurse or nurse should be "OK" with being around a deadly virus without proper PPE. Don't make OP feel guily for not wanting to expose himself or his loved ones to a deadly virus. Hospitals...

    Grading Changed to Pass/Fail?

    carti replied to sdgirl1's topic in General Students

    If medical schools, law schools and other prestigious universities like Harvard are doing pass/fail classes, I don't see why most nursing schools can't do that. Keep in mind students are people too...

    ER nurse also working Private Duty

    carti replied to Orion81RN's topic in Private Duty

    I mean even if that nurse was practicing perfect social distancing, the fact that she works in an ER (probably without adequate PPE too) just negates that. That is a sucky situation for you indeed. I...

    ER nurse also working Private Duty

    carti replied to Orion81RN's topic in Private Duty

    It's a very valid concern. At least you know about your nurses that also work in your case. It may be because I'm only working part time on PDN, but I have never met any nurse from other shifts (there...

    Refusing Care of a COVID-19 Patient Due to Inappropriate PPE

    carti replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    First of all, you are a clown for thinking being afraid of contracting a deadly virus makes you any less of a nurse. Second of all.......you say you have a plan to send your kids away if the hospital...

    Is my school risking my safety?

    carti replied to karmachameleon's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This sounds messed up. If prestigious universities all across this country, as well as medical schools, have shut down, why does your dean your schools is any different? What about all those students...

    Classmates who cheat

    2 weeks after you graduate, no one will remember who was Valedictorian. As long as you are true to yourself, don't worry about

    IV push meds alcohol swabs

    carti replied to USMC2RN89's topic in General Students

    My Nursing handbook says after you flush, give the med, then flush again. Make sure the flush doesn't touch anything like the patient's skin or the table, etc before you flush. If that happens, wipe...

    How Can a New Grad Stand Out When Applying to ED?

    carti replied to tinysnailRN's topic in General Students

    You sound like a great student. My best advice would be to attend any "Open House" events that hospitals have for new graduates with your resume in hand. These events are notorious for giving out...

    OB Unit for Male Student

    carti replied to nurse2bguy555's topic in General Students

    Call the hospitals yourself. Who cares if it breaks the relationship your school has with hospitals. They obviously don't care about you. The fact that you are even thinking about spending money on a...

    ATI Comprehensive RN 2019

    carti replied to Omw2nurse19's topic in General Students

    There is no way you scored, nor did your entire class as a collective group scored a 99% on that ATI exam LOL. I think you probably mean you scored a score that translated to a 99% chance of passing...

    May 2020 Grad- Job Hunt

    carti replied to Lunarecho's topic in General Students

    We had those too. But you should probably see more nursing recruiters from hospitals coming in towards the middle of your last semester of nursing school, at least mind

    May 2020 Grad- Job Hunt

    carti replied to Lunarecho's topic in General Students

    I had a May graduation date last year as well and most people in my program had jobs by Spring breakish/early April. This means February-ish is when you should have your resume completed, already have...

    What Should I Expect?

    carti replied to igottaconquer246's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Pharm and Micro should be hard. Stats is very easy if your professor lets you use a t184 calculator. Literature is boring as heck; not exaggerating. American government depends on how easy your...

    Failed my third semester, should I do anything about it?

    carti replied to Sillycat's topic in General Students

    Appeal it you have nothing to lose. If it was a clinical problem, it is easier to win because a lot of it is subjective. But you have failed 3 different courses. Even if you passed with the...

    Was RN school easy for you?

    carti replied to EV1518's topic in General Students

    Literally no regular nurse needs to know anything about reaction rates, kinetics, etc. Organic and biochem are great classes but if your that far in your studies, might as well apply to med school...

    RN-BSN Not Requiring Statistics

    carti replied to ThatChickOmi's topic in General Students

    Stats is extremely easy. If you know how to use a T184 calculator, it’s really doable. My professor spent the first hour discussing the theory ( useless) and the last 15 minutes showing us which...

    First Semester Questions

    I was a class officer officer and it was fun at times. It was a great resume builder and we got to closely interact with professors at a interpersonal level. But towards the end of my program, I...

    Was RN school easy for you?

    carti replied to EV1518's topic in General Students

    General chem doesn’t teach you anything about nursing school. It’s literally just math. And I don’t know any nursing BSN program that requires Ochem. And as someone who has taken Ochem as well...
