1. Any leads on hospitals hiring new grads?

   babybee3184 replied to Zeppsn's topic in Career Support

   I live in a suburb south of Dayton, about 45 min. North of Cinci. Have you tried Miami Valley Hospital? It's a large, magnet teaching hospital in Dayton. I graduated in 2008 and took my first job there. I believe it is BSN preferred but they still ha...

2. Allscript

   babybee3184 replied to ShayRN's topic in Hospice

   I work in an IPU and I use AllScripts. I hate it! It is not efficient. Uses a "point" and "click" template. A large portion of the assessments and admission charting pertains to homecare and not the unit. Many gliches in our system. Our computers are...

3. Broken-hearted nursing student---

   babybee3184 replied to Diva Nurse Dani's topic in General Students

   Wow....soooo not worth your time. That is the weirdest thing ever...How someone just stops talking for no reason whatsoever...And I don't care how busy he is...Please. If he was busy before and you guys talked for hours...Then he should at least have...

4. How does Nursing rank in comparison to other majors in difficulty?

   babybee3184 replied to CRNAhopefulguy's topic in General Students

   At my school nursing is extremely hard. I've had friends attend other universities and thought it was a breeze and then transfered to my school and flunked out...I think it really depends on the professors and how difficult they make the subject matt...

5. Stethoscope help

   babybee3184 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm a nursing student and it is time for me to purchase my first stethoscope...I'm not really sure what kind to get and what is best. Our clinical instructors did tell us to get one that is double sided, cord that isn't too lengthy, and obviously, co...

6. animal research

   babybee3184 replied to canoehead's topic in General Nursing

   I think it depends on the kind of research performed on animals. If it is something that is perceived as harmful from the very beginning...Then I completely disagree with animal testing. If it is something that is believed to be harmless, then I th...

7. Studying... How did you do it?

   babybee3184 replied to pasand's topic in General Nursing

   I think it depends on your classes, really. I rarely read from the book b/c our professors always use their own notes and only test off of those. Nursing is more application than memorization...So, I would study the notes until I knew them and then ...

8. Recommendations for Dayton, Ohio

   babybee3184 replied to shamegs's topic in Career Support

   I LOVE Miami Valley Hospital. It depends how much action you want, I suppose. Miami Valley is HUGE...Kettering tends to be smaller and quieter.

9. Disturb you to see a tongue pierced?

   babybee3184 replied to mario_ragucci's topic in General Nursing

   Definitely not. It's completely unprofessional and the stereotype still hangs around that it = slutty. I don't want someone representing me that wears a tongue ring. There are still too many old fashioned people; and the elderly number will only incr...

10. Poll: Male Nurses in the OB? Ok or No Way???

    babybee3184 replied to KrisRNwannabe's topic in General Nursing

    Male nurses should definitely be ok. They are only doing their job, so the situation is completely professional.

11. Any RN programs in US w/out wait list????

    babybee3184 replied to Krissyone's topic in General Students

    My school has no wait list, either. As long as you have the pre-requisites and a GPA of a 3.1 or higher. You can get in :). Wright State University in Fairborn, Ohio. http://www.wright.edu

12. Need some advice!!

    babybee3184 replied to erynsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing

    This is more of a personal question, I think. I don't know how well academically you succeed and how much is on your plate. If you are going to take 5 classes in a quarter (One of them being A&P) DO NOT work at all, esp. if yhou havea daughter. I...

13. Study Groups?!

    babybee3184 replied to ChristineN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I had anatomy and physiology separate. I found when I studied physiology alone, I succeeded much more. But, Study groups really helped me with anatomy. We had to identify all the body parts, muscle tendons, nerves, etc. in pictures, models, and cadav...

14. Yeah, I'm not getting the grades I used to

    babybee3184 replied to beckyrntobe's topic in General Students

    Hey sweetie, don't sweat it. I got all "A's" in high school. I still get some "A's" now, but it depends how difficult the class is. In Anatomy I got c's and b's and in Physiology...Oh, God. We have to take Grad. Physiology at my school! Over 50% of ...
