    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    We are having a pinning ceremony exactly one month from today. Yes, it's all beginning to be very "real" and it is crazy how far we've come. I don't even remember what all I've posted here, but I...

    37changes replied to futureclern's topic in General Students

    Our nursing diagnoses had to be NANDA approved. Have they told you that? If not, do some googling. It will show you what those look like. Also, use nurselabs. For

    37changes replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Students

  5. Any Over 30 Pre-Nursing Students Here?

    37changes replied to sgc29's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I'm not in Oklahoma but I thought maybe you were looking for support from all over. I will be graduating in December and I'll be 40 in March. There have been many discussions like this one around...

  6. I don't want to be a bedside nurse, please help. possible switch to office setting?

    37changes replied to highhope's topic in General Nursing

    "but I do want to give it more time to see if it grows on me" ... I've missed out on some great opportunities in the past, simply due to letting those anxious feelings get in the way. It is very...

  7. Nervous about passing clinical

    37changes replied to beardeddragon123's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Just be thankful that she did not send you home, and make the effort to get it to her ASAP. It sounds like it is going to be fine. This time. Nursing school should hold you to high standards...

  9. LTC nurses: Can I hear from you, please?

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thanks again for all of the feedback! I was told by another nursing student that she has heard, if you are going to work in LTC, to go for a non-profit company. And there is a big fancy facility in...

  10. LTC nurses: Can I hear from you, please?

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thanks for this! It's good to hear good experiences. :) I have no desire to be bored, either. A huge part of why I chose nursing is because I want to be on my feet & busy. I am not one for...

  11. LTC nurses: Can I hear from you, please?

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yes. I almost added, "Would you guys be annoyed by this?" ... but then I thought that when I talk to her about it again, I'd ask her if she had a certain person in mind who would be up for it. I'd...

  12. LTC nurses: Can I hear from you, please?

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I talked to my aunt yesterday. Her facilities are SNF -- she said "rehab". There is one about an hour away from me, and I asked her if I could just go SHADOW one of the nurses for a shift. Not do...

  13. LTC nurses: Can I hear from you, please?

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thank you for this. Yes, there is a need... and I feel like LTC workers are underappreciated. I don't understand it. I have felt all along that these are people who have lived a long life, they...

  14. LTC nurses: Can I hear from you, please?

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Oh, how I'd love to be ONE WHO KNOWS ALL someday... or maybe not. But seriously, thank you for your response. I'm sitting here thinking about patience. Well, I homeschooled 3 boys at 3 different...

  15. LTC nurses: Can I hear from you, please?

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I like the idea of getting to know my patients. I do understand that as an RN it will be very different than it was as a student... I could clearly see how busy they were. But when you are working...

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thanks for your response ~ and I'm sorry it's taken me awhile to sit down at the computer and go through these and think about them in detail. Your feedback is every bit as valuable to me as the...

  17. LTC nurses: Can I hear from you, please?

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thanks! Did you start out in a hospital... or LTC, SNF? Now I'm trying to get a feel, from those who are happy with this choice, what their path looked like. I wonder if people are more...

  18. LTC nurses: Can I hear from you, please?

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    We have now had our first day in cardiac intensive care clinicals. I am becoming more and more aware of how much I don't know, and haven't done. Being there and seeing these things in real life is...

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thanks so much for all of the feedback so far. Of course I know there are those who are not cut out for it -- it's just not their thing at all -- but I also know that those people are out there who...

  20. LTC nurses: Can I hear from you, please?

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    A huge part of why I chose this path is because there are SO many different places you can work, so many directions you can go. I appreciate hearing what it's like in different environments, because...

  21. LTC nurses: Can I hear from you, please?

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I appreciate the conversation! Reading these posts, I'm thinking the nursing home where we did clinicals may be more like rest home instead of skilled facility... there were no IVs... in our time...

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    Are you still applying to two campuses? The required materials will be different in different places, I think. For example we did not have the simulation packs like Leadkrm is talking about. And...
