    How many care plans do you do?

    Rionoir posted a topic in General Students

    Before I started nursing school, I read how I was going to have to do tons and tons of care plans. The reality of my nursing school, however, is that we do literally ONE care plan per semester. Some...

    Pre-nursing students: Did you dislike your CNA class?

    Rionoir replied to Desertrat94's topic in General Students

    I had to take a CNA course as well and loved my clinicals. Ours were hands on, not shadowing. Also, I’m on my last semester of nursing school and I can tell you a good chunk of my clinical time is...

    Vaccination for clinical

    Rionoir replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    As evidenced by a rise in antivaxxer crazies leading to multiple outbreaks of a once eradicated disease? Ah yes, clearly there is some other reason for the outbreaks because it wasn’t the...

    Advice needed how to proceed

    Rionoir replied to NJBray's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I can see the reason for not being allowed back in if you've been gone three semesters, as nursing semesters build on the last very heavily. That's a long time to be out of clinical practice too, and...

    How many care plans do you do?

    Rionoir replied to Rionoir's topic in General Students

    We are expected to know all that as well just for being on the floor. Our instructor will basically ask random questions throughout the day and we are expected to be able to answer. If you can’t...

    Should I disclose nursing school application for gap year jobs?

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

    Absolutely, most CNAs I know are part time and their job understands that they are in classes and clinicals that have varying

    Is Shortage in Nursing really a hoax?

    Rionoir replied to mikefilmstudent's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Never mind 2017

    Really need help

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

    Do hospitals (or whatever setting you want to work in) hire RNs with associate degrees where you live? Because if you want to save money, that is the way to go. Here in Wisconsin BSN has no...

    Should I disclose nursing school application for gap year jobs?

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

    In my experience it's the CNAs that do really well in clinicals, since in school we pretty much do meds and cares, especially before you've had advanced skills. I think if you went that route you'd...

    How many care plans do you do?

    Rionoir replied to Rionoir's topic in General Students

    I see - that does sound like overkill though like you say. At my last clinical we needed to know all the relevant information (labs, med classes, why they are being given, last BM, etc lol) and give...

    How many care plans do you do?

    Rionoir replied to Rionoir's topic in General Students

    What the actual hell are you writing 22 pages of for a care plan?! Ours are literally the single page 6-box type care

    White Nursing Student Shoes

    Rionoir replied to jsm1917's topic in General Students

    My program "officially" told us the same thing. I still don't own a pair of white shoes and I have one semester left. Might be worth having a chat with your clinical instructor to see what the...

    Rionoir replied to tas006's topic in General Students

    Just finished level 3 today ? It's a great program and will get you some great placements for clinicals. At our last rotation the manager of the floor gave us all business cards and told us to give...

    Pretty much failed A&P2..

    Rionoir replied to Camjayjayy's topic in General Students

    If you don't actually want to be a nurse, then yes, you should do something else. If you are going to continue the path, you will need a strong grasp of A&P, so I would seek out some help with...

    Male going into Nursing?

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

    The male part of it is a complete non-issue unless you make it an issue. If anything, being a male is helpful because it sets you apart. I've also heard from a hiring manager at a hospital near me...

    Microbiology this summer. Am I crazy?

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

    I don't think advanced A&P is any easier than microbiology, they're pretty similar in terms of time requirements for studying. That being said, one or the other during summer isn't that bad,...

    The appropriateness or inappropriateness of them letting the students back in aside, no, there is nothing you can do about

    LTC vs Hospital for first-semester clinical

    Rionoir replied to MJ 0990's topic in General Students

    I was wondering about that. We didn't have to actually get certified as long as we took the course through our school, so most of us just did it that way alongside of our prereqs. Anyway - IMO even...

    I've Decided To Take A Different Approach

    Rionoir replied to NurseKayeBSNtoMSN's topic in General Students

    If you're willing to move, there are lots of places around the country that are way easier to get into nursing classes than California. You don't need to jump at the first one to say they'll take...

    best track for LPN and Non-nursing bachelor

    Rionoir replied to ashley beau's topic in General Students

    From a financial perspective, getting your ADN and then letting your employer help pay for the rest would make the most sense. Not sure what the market is like in Chicago, but in the Milwaukee area...

    LTC vs Hospital for first-semester clinical

    Rionoir replied to MJ 0990's topic in General Students

    Do most schools have to do a CNA course and clinical prior to beginning nursing courses? That's how it is at my school, so everyone is expected to know how to do the basics pretty well before we got...

    How many care plans do you do?

    Rionoir replied to Rionoir's topic in General Students

    I was totally prepared for that, but also so relieved it wasn't like that for me! I think our old school instructors hate that it is like this, but most are glad they don't have to grade them every...
