1. Likely to be hired soon. Worried about drug test d/t prescribed meds

   bubbles42 replied to ThatBLURN's topic in General Nursing

   I know this is a late response, but just wanted to say that the site performing the drug screen will contact you if any amphetamine is detected in your urine. You will be given an opportunity to provide a valid prescription for the medication and onc...

2. Is Adaptive Quizzing worth it?

   bubbles42 replied to OllieRugby's topic in General Students

   I think publishers realized that there was no reason to give away access to extra resources when they could charge an arm and a leg for them, so some publishers now restrict access to those resources unless you pay the additional fee.

3. Is Adaptive Quizzing worth it?

   bubbles42 replied to OllieRugby's topic in General Students

   If your school doesn't require you to have access to Adaptive Quizzing and you just want to purchase it as a personal study tool, then the previous edition should be fine. However, if it is required, then you might need the access code for the editio...

4. Do these scrubs make my butt look big!?

   bubbles42 replied to mrcleanscrubs's topic in Men

   I have to second this. I love the Carhart ripstop cargo scrub pants, and I'm female, but not a "girly girl." They have a million pockets and they're not form-fitting at all.

5. want to become an NP in the OR, but can't figure out next step after getting RN!

   bubbles42 replied to bubbles42's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you so much! This is excellent info!

6. want to become an NP in the OR, but can't figure out next step after getting RN!

   bubbles42 replied to bubbles42's topic in General Nursing

   I'm definitely open to changing my mind, but I've never felt so much excitement and awe as when I was in the OR. I had no idea how much I would love it in there. None of my other clinical experiences left me feeling anything like that.

7. want to become an NP in the OR, but can't figure out next step after getting RN!

   bubbles42 replied to bubbles42's topic in General Nursing

   Sorry that wasn't clear. I was talking about my path to becoming a nurse practitioner and working primarily as a first assistant in the OR.

8. want to become an NP in the OR, but can't figure out next step after getting RN!

   bubbles42 replied to bubbles42's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you! That's what I'm working towards right now. I just wish I could figure out my path forward after getting into an OR. There's a local Adult-Gerontology Acute Care DNP program that would probably be ideal for what I'm trying to do, but I jus...

9. want to become an NP in the OR, but can't figure out next step after getting RN!

   bubbles42 replied to bubbles42's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you all for the replies! Lots of good info! I just joined AORN as a student member. I'm getting worried because my local hospital with the new grad residency in the OR also has a scrub tech program and ALL the area hospitals seem to be going th...

10. Want to be a nurse but I am really bad academically

    bubbles42 replied to Raistlin007's topic in Pre-Nursing

    As others have already said, go to your local community college and take a math placement test. That will tell you which courses you need. Keep taking math classes until you get to college algebra. It seems scary, but you can do it! Also, ask for hel...

11. want to become an NP in the OR, but can't figure out next step after getting RN!

    bubbles42 replied to bubbles42's topic in General Nursing

    I eventually want to wind up in an RNFA role, but I know that's a few years down the line because I first need OR experience.

12. want to become an NP in the OR, but can't figure out next step after getting RN!

    bubbles42 replied to bubbles42's topic in General Nursing

    I would absolutely LOVE to become an RNFA, but definitely not CRNA. I know that one advantage of NPs as RNFAs is that they can bill insurance.

    bubbles42 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I stuck this in 'general nursing' because I wasn't sure if it should go under 'students' or 'student NP' or just 'NP'... I know I want to be in the OR, and I'll be applying for a new grad residency in the OR to get all the experience I can. I'm als...
