1. Best shoes for nursing

   aspiringnurse12345 replied to curlygirl898's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I love the Hoka One Bondi! I feel like I am walking on a cloud. I also use custom orthotics from my podiatrist.

2. UMSON BSN Spring 2021

   aspiringnurse12345 replied to saf1430's topic in School Programs

   Got it. Don't wait to apply if you have your prerequisites done, but you can always strengthen your application for next time if it doesn't work out. I can see why recommendations can be tough if they have been online. What does "voluntarily" partici...

3. UMSON BSN Spring 2021

   aspiringnurse12345 replied to saf1430's topic in School Programs

   How do you know that your application will be weak? With those A's, didn't you have some science professors who loved you? I did not have any medical experience either. If you don't get in this time, consider taking Pathophysiology at the Germantown ...

4. Is the CNL more competative for Nurse Residency's

   aspiringnurse12345 replied to Tina S's topic in Maryland

   Why did you not feel prepared for the hospital? Did you apply to any less competitive hospital positions?

5. Which skills allowed during clinicals?

   aspiringnurse12345 replied to aspiringnurse12345's topic in Student Assist

   I guess that I use the term preceptor/instructor interchangeably. She is a DNP and a FNP. I know that she has the best of intentions for us to get practice. We were given many directions/prohibitions from the unit manager on the first day, but I real...

6. Which skills allowed during clinicals?

   aspiringnurse12345 replied to aspiringnurse12345's topic in Student Assist

   So, for instance, the unit manager forbade us students from administering insulin and heparin. Our preceptor praises students for administering insulin and heparin. The charge nurse asked the preceptor to accompany and supervise students passing meds...

8. Which skills allowed during clinicals?

   aspiringnurse12345 replied to aspiringnurse12345's topic in Student Assist

   But what if the instructor blatantly ignores guidelines given by the nursing manager and charge nurse? What if most students don't care? This is a very difficult position for me to be in. Oral directions were given by hospital personnel to both the p...

9. Which skills allowed during clinicals?

   aspiringnurse12345 posted a topic in Student Assist

   Hi! I am wondering who establishes the guidelines for the skills that a student is allowed to practice in the hospital? Is it the unit manager and/or charge nurse or is it the preceptor (from the school of nursing)? What do we do if there is a differ...

10. Please Help: Student Loan Debt

11. New Graduate- ADHD and working as a nurse

    aspiringnurse12345 replied to Apple160's topic in Disabilities

    Which medication finally worked for you? I have also experienced too much anxiety on ADHD medication.

12. New Grad Contract — Enforceable?

    aspiringnurse12345 replied to Swirl531's topic in Nursing

    Honestly, $650 seems like a relatively small fine in the grand scheme of things.

13. COVID-19: Now a good time to go to nursing school and become a nurse?

    aspiringnurse12345 replied to Kara638's topic in COVID

    Kara638, that really depends upon the nursing school. In my area, some nursing students have been in the hospital without any vaccines. Other nursing schools have had clinicals entirely online. If you are applying to nursing school for the fall, y...

14. Great Article on "Shortage" of Nurses

    aspiringnurse12345 replied to ielizabeth's topic in COVID

    This new graduate certainly faced many challenges. COVID-related decreases in elective procedures is one of them. I wonder if it was also challenging that she really wanted to be in the Washington, D.C. area, which already has many of its own schoo...

15. UMSON BSN Spring 2021

    aspiringnurse12345 replied to saf1430's topic in School Programs

    Nora, good question! I wish that I had filled out the Conway application. It's taken a little bit of time to build up my confidence. I'm hoping that it's not too late to apply for some of the smaller scholarships.
