3. Externship!

   Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to Nurse-To-Be-Joy's topic in General Students

   Thank you so much for your replies! I was asked why I wanted to be an extern, why I would be a good extern, how I would handle a "bad" co-worker, and things like that. It was almost a half hour long and I was interviewed by people from 4 different de...

4. Externship!

   Nurse-To-Be-Joy posted a topic in General Students

   I just got the email yesterday, after interviewing on Tuesday, that I got accepted for my hospital's externship. I am so excited! I got selected for a rotation known as Outpatient Services, which includes pre-op, post-op, endo, wound care, and pre-ad...

6. What are your care plans like?

   Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to jnj818's topic in General Students

   I go to a community college and we have 2 rotations each semester. We are required to do 3 4-part nursing diagnoses for each clinical day, and a total of 3 care plans for each rotation (for a total of 6 care plans). My school is very skill-focused, b...

7. How old were your kids when you started the program?

   Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to Irene joy's topic in General Students

   I had taken most of my classes before I had my son. So, after him, I only had 5 classes (which I did in 2 semesters at nights and on weekends) and my nursing classes. When I started taking those 5 classes, my son was 2 1/2. Now, I just started semest...

8. Textbook Buy-Backs

   Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

   I'm keeping all of my nursing books and my A&P and Micro books. I think it is so helpful to have these if I ever need it.

9. Yay! First Semester is OVER!!!

   Nurse-To-Be-Joy posted a topic in General Students

   I just took my final yesterday and I passed the class with an 86.75%! Got an A, but at least I passed! Even with an instructor who was awful at lecturing and often gave us the wrong info. Can't wait for next semester now!

10. Who votes?

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to sanctuary's topic in General Nursing

11. Book Bag Question--

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to Jenny67's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I have a rolling Jansport backback and I love it. It has really saved my back and it is so roomy!

12. help...how can i stop being nervous when giving an injection?

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to Liz21's topic in General Students

    Thankfully, we don't practice on each other. I'd be too scared to have someone who has no clue what they are doing jab a needle into my arm! But, I just did my first 2 injections at clinical on Monday (flu shots). I was soooo nervous and wasn't perfe...

13. Is there power in the color white?

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to bbfw2's topic in General Nursing

    I have been in the hospital a few times and I personally think a nurse in all white looks cold. I'd much prefer seeing my nurses wearing upbeat scrubs, something fun or pretty I can look at. And I always knew who my nurse was because she identified h...

14. showing cleavage at clinical

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to jov's topic in General Students

    It's totally unprofessional. Even the larger chested women in my class can cover it up by wearing a high-neck white top under their scrub top.

15. My husband won't let me do bed baths

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

    Finally, someone else sees it this way! I still don't see the need for nude bed baths in school. It's not that hard to do and you can easily practice this at home. I would definately be miffed if I came to school one day and the teacher announced we ...
