    Nursing Equipment Kit from school- worth it?

    Rionoir replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Students

    Jenn could be right - it could be skill lab supplies. They will probably give you some supplies, but you don't always get to practice with new (in the package) equipment before your checkoff or...

    Ridiculous medical mistakes on TV

    I seem to remember Jodie Foster's daughter in Panic Room needing her insulin because her blood sugar was

    Nursing Equipment Kit from school- worth it?

    Rionoir replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Students

    That sounds like a lot of money if it doesn't contain a stethoscope. I also generally prefer to choose my own equipment rather than get some pre-assembled

    Can I go straight from an ADN program to an RN to BSN program?

    Rionoir replied to Michelle S.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yea of course you can. I don't know how other schools are setup but UW-Online has different tracks for those with experience vs those without (Flex vs BSN at home). RN to BSN programs seem less...

    Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Rionoir replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Wow some people are really threatened by non union places that have benefits ? The personal attacks from trying to have a discussion on this topic are yet another reason for the OP to

    Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Rionoir replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I agree that unions are a necessity for some, but I'd also rather avoid them if I can (and fortunately I can). I have no guarantee per se that conditions will stay the same, but as I've said...

    Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Rionoir replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    “Low, crap paying, no lunch, no breaks, PTO denied, PTO mixed with sick time (and you get fired for actually taking your sick time), no reimbursements, no tuition help, floating constantly, no...

    Anatomy and Physiology

    Rionoir replied to Ciara4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Whatever you do, I would just get a better study system in place. Nursing theory classes are going to get a lot harder than A&P, so if you are struggling to pass pre-reqs you definitely need to...

    Nurses on anti-depressants

    Rionoir replied to heartnurse14's topic in General Nursing

    Girl everyone is on antidepressants ? I think the biggest stigma associated with them comes from those that are starting to take them for the first time. I'm pretty open about the fact that I take...

    Recording Lectures?

    Rionoir replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Students

    Some instructors will say it’s fine but please don’t post online, or ask people to stop recording if someone shares a personal story about the current topic,

    Recording Lectures?

    Rionoir replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Students

    I should add, I recommend ebooks because you can literally just copy and paste entire sentences/paragraphs straight from the book into Anki and then use the "cloze" cards to turn it into a...

    Recording Lectures?

    Rionoir replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Students

    For some reason it seems like 99% of nursing students like pen and paper and physical textbooks, but if you're a tech geek you might want to look into getting ebooks and then checking this video out...

    Recording Lectures?

    Rionoir replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Students

    Most of them will tell you their policy on the first day of class without you having to ask, it's pretty common. Having said that, I don't find it useful at all. CHA is a 3 hour class and I can study...

    Integrity - Should I say something

    Rionoir replied to MickyMb2's topic in General Students

    As a student, they are protected by free speech laws if it is a public university. There is case law on this already. The only reason he could get in trouble for that with the school is if it is a...

    Advisor is recommending Algebra

    Rionoir replied to MBucanek's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well that’s not true at all. Maybe when you took your placement tests your math scores were weak, is that a possibility? I can assure you you will need to do some nursing math during your

    Panicking Over Vaccines 3 Weeks until School Starts!!!

    Rionoir replied to guest1122560's topic in General Students

    I had the series three times and it never took. Finally got the single dose one and had immunity pretty quickly. Hep-B is to protect you though I believe and I think you can sign a waiver if you...

    Recommendation for friend

    Rionoir replied to fiercedeity085's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ADN to BSN is a great way to go since she will need a year or two experience anyway. There’s no benefit to paying so much extra (is she paying international tuition?) when an employer can...

    Union-yes or no

    Rionoir replied to RNBSN08's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I have experience with unions. They are all the same. Hard pass. You know, if I get unlucky and have a bad manager I'll just go somewhere else and do us both a favor if we can't resolve it. There...
