  1. Online associate degree?

    Scottishtape replied to Jhope16's topic in General Nursing

    This. I did a hybrid bridge where all of my theory was online (we went into the school for all tests), but had our clinical portion at the local hospitals. You can't do it all online due to the...

  2. Can somebody assist me in understanding this question?

    Scottishtape replied to waterdrifter's topic in General Students

    Incidence of disease and mortality of disease are two different things, that's why you got the answer wrong. Like Simplistic said, white, non-Hispanic women *get* breast cancer at a higher rate than...

  3. Wrong dose med error

    Scottishtape replied to Ehhh15's topic in General Nursing

    Med errors are "common" in that they are always happening somewhere, because we are human. The important thing with med errors is to treat them like a bright red indicator for you to change aspects of...

  4. How many semesters did you apply to nursing school before being accepted?

    Scottishtape replied to Skippy97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied to 1 program and was accepted, but was an alternate. Thankfully, I got a seat for the semester I wanted. 3.7 GPA 82

  5. New Grad Tele job no contract vs OR Fellowship 3 year contract

    Scottishtape replied to SAS2016's topic in General Nursing

    Be aware, a lot of places do not count your orientation/preceptorship time as part of the contract. I had to sign a 2 year contract since I went into acute care, with a 4 month preceptor period. My 2...

    Today was it! I finally finished my LPN-RN program and officially have my ADN. This has been a LONG time coming, and I can't even wrap my mind around it. Now, onto the NCLEX, which I'm thankfully not...

  10. Lost, Confused, & Jaded. HELP :(

    Scottishtape replied to ulcia91's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is hard. Anyone will tell you that. Most of us hit a wall eventually during the process, that's normal. Remember that having a "passion" for something that you've never actually done,...

    Scottishtape replied to Scottishtape's topic in General Nursing

    Hahahaha, I don't know how I missed this reply. If you're dating yourself, so am I! For whatever reason, that's what was going through my head when I made the

  12. Is it customary where you work to recheck BPs manually?

    Scottishtape replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely see where you're coming from. I liken the rechecking of abnormal B/Ps to the rechecking of anything abnormal. If my patient appears to be breathing just fine, I'm not going to stop and...

  14. Is it customary where you work to recheck BPs manually?

    Scottishtape replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    In LTC, it was customary to recheck with a manual. All we had were those rolling ones (Rosie), that were never calibrated. I refused to even use them to begin with. In the hospital setting, we don't...

  15. Male Student in OB Rotation

    Scottishtape replied to dreblanco's topic in General Students

    Of course you don't understand what you said that was offensive, you're too wrapped up in your ego. The fact that your only response is to insult what you consider to be my maturity level only...

  16. Male Student in OB Rotation

    Scottishtape replied to dreblanco's topic in General Students

    You know, women can choose to not have a male in the room not because they are stereotyping regarding care, but because of their modesty. Instead of carrying around a victim mentality, actually...

  17. New Nursing Student Must Haves and Advice From Current Nursing Students

    Scottishtape replied to CreativeUsername's topic in General Students

    A planner!! It was the one thing I didn't consider when I started my bridge program. I also didn't expect the mountain of work either haha. The planner saved me, and helped me keep track of everything...

  23. Do nursing courses transfer over to college credit

    Scottishtape replied to Jbutery's topic in General Students

    I did my LPN at a community college and all of the credits transferred to both my local community college down here, as well as university when I went on for my bachelors. Most of them were used as my...

  24. VCC/UCF or SSC/UCF concurrent Fall 2017

    Scottishtape replied to ajr06d's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm finishing up my bachelors at UCF. I uploaded all my immunizations to the online portal. You should have access to your own little portal if you've been accepted to UCF. It'll be under "student...

  25. Scope of Practice in US

    Scottishtape replied to CmacD's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Not only is the LPN scope defined by the state, as you mentioned, but it is also defined by the facility you work in. I've worked in two different states now with VASTLY different scopes of practice,...
