^^ Christ, don't do that! I don't know if things have changed, but I was on a waiting list for the Maricopa County Community Colleges in Phoenix and it really was that uncompetitive. All you had to do was pass Psych 101, English 101, and A&P courses with a C and you were on the list. They also used a time-stamp system. It's bullshit, really. The most dedicated student could be stuck waiting for years while a C student could get in after two semesters in the name of "fairness".

Space Harrier posted:This, too. What kind of program are you trying to get into HollowYears? Many community colleges don't factor in grades at all as long as you pass your pre-reqs with at least a C, but other schools can be very competitive. I have two options. I'm going through EI in Canada to get my LPN schooling paid for, from what I've read you need a minimum of C in all of your prereq high school classes which I have along with university courses which take priority over high school. or The BN program at the University of Manitoba. You basically need a 2.5 average across your pre-reqs which I'm sure I'll have no problem getting. I have to wait at least two years to get into either, so I'm seeing which one I get into first. I would rather get into the BN program, although it would be nice making $23 an hour through school.

Space Harrier posted:This stuff may not present itself too often in your day to day work, but nursing school is going to get much, much harder. Prepare accordingly. Space Harrier knows what's up. I'll answer from the nursing student side. Example: you'll get cell replication again when you study pharm and have to remember mechanisms of action. They don't go over it again, they'll go, 'You should know this, X works here.' Plus if you don't have A&P down (at least where/what it is and how it works) it'll come back and bite you in the rear end when you study patho.

I'm not trying to pick on you or anything HollowYears, but I've got to make one more point about A&P. Regardless of what your program requires, make it a point to do well in the course. Go for an A if you still can. If you're struggling in the course, this is a good time to develop study habits that will help you throughout nursing school. You'll be thankful you did once you get to Pathophysiology and Pharmacology.

I understand cell replication fine, just some of the other topics are super dry. We're getting into inheritance and actual body structures(stuff that I actually enjoy) in the next couple of weeks. I'm sure I'll pick it up better. I just can't STAND cell biology.

(Sorry guys,) I have another "how does this stack up?" type of question. I've already received a B.A. in Psychology with a Biology minor from the University of MN. Unfortunately I can't afford to keep going to the school for an entry level Masters or a new BSN so I am going to a local community college for their AS-Nursing (1/3 the price!) and testing for my RN after I complete the 2 years of nursing programming. I've heard/found through hospital job applications that many places require a B.S.N. instead of a 2 year nursing degree because of the "critical thinking skills" that 4-year students receive. My question is, is this because there are specific nursing skills learned during a B.S.N. education that aren't feasible during a 2-year nursing degree, or just because of the critical thinking skills that someone in a B.A./B.S. position learns? By that I mean, are they really saying "we want someone with a 4-year education" instead of necessarily "a 4-year nursing education"? I guess this harks back to the RN/BSN debate, but I'm very curious to hear, especially from people who may be in a hiring position for a variety of arenas (CNA/HHAs, LPNs, RNs, etc). I think it's an important distinction that could help simplify decisions for many entry-level MSN/post-Bac students to decide the most appropriate course of schooling for them.

I have not read this whole thread but I just wanted to say that a ICU nurse is an amazing type of nurse. You all are truely dedicated to your job and care about your patients. My husband was in ICU intubated for 14 days. The staff there was AMAZING. I hope your patients appreciate you as much as I appreciated my husbands nurses. I can name every single one of them that took care of him. The male nirse spent a half an hour shaving him, it was just unbelieveable how much they cared.

I mean for the past few nights and then a night before that I have had a woman who gave birth to her first child, had an MI 5 days later, got treated medically, went home a few days later had some syncope, EMS'd to the hospital, went to cath lab, taken to an ICU post cath lab ruptured her LAD and Left Circumflex shortly after, coded, went to CVOR emergently, had a triple bypass, landed on our unit, coded before the OR team and surgeon even left, back to OR she had ruptured her RCA, had that bypassed, and is now day 7 post op, on a balloon pump, and not responding to commands moving wildly non-purposefully, we even had her extubated for a few hours two days ago she still thrashed about crazily and then developed laryngeal stridor and had to be reintubated(probably from trauma from her thrashing while on the vent.) Her pressures look better, her ABG's look great, but still no following commands and I'm guessing anoxic brain injury. Her husband is there often, he has a new baby at home with a wife/new mother in a world of poo poo and it's a sad sad horrible scenario. But have I left depressed? No. I leave work thinking god damnit I wish she would stop bucking the loving vent and setting off peak pressure alarms and trying to bend your legs to gently caress up my balloon pump, and stop forcing urine around your foley when you gag/cough on the ETT. And being pissed that her pressures weren't high enough to give enough morphine and versed to slam her. Now does that mean I haven't worked my hardest? Hell no I have worked my rear end off to keep her alive and grasp at any chance to get her better, have not slacked in the slightest, I have my eyes and ears tuned to where I know what her waveforms looks like when she farts. I have poured my sweat into this case and given nothing but 100%. But when I am driving home I am thinking about that bitch who dinged my Caddy and what questionable pornography I will download.

Informal poll to help me decide where to specialize: ED nurses: How often are you assaulted by patients? OR nurses: How often are you assaulted by surgeons? If you haven't already, go read the "Surgeon threw something at me" (or whatever it was called) megathread in the OR section of allnurses.com. It's ridiculous what some hospitals are willing to put up with.

I was mostly shocked by the number of nurses in that thread who let it slide. I realize beating the poo poo out of a surgeon mid-procedure is frowned upon in the medical community, but I can't imagine just putting up with that kind of work environment. Although, in other stuff I've read, it's been alluded that speaking up against doctor abuse is a good way to get yourself downsized. Are hospital admins coming around on that or is it still heavy on the "Docs are gods, screw everyone else" mentality? Even ignoring just simple human decency, you'd think the potential lawsuits surrounding a scalpel-flinging surgeon would be enough for administration to have the nurse's back.

But the way my family was treated and my husband I could not have asked for better nurses (may have been all the platters of cookies, and snacks and cakes we brought them) but regardless you all have a special kind of heart. I could not work in the conditions you all do in ICU. The rush you guys get when someone has a code blue put us weaklings at shame. I was shaking watching that take place.

The day they reduced his sedation to wein him off the tube they wouldn't restrain him through the night. Instead I was instructed to keep him calm. That was the longest night of my life. He was such a pain in the rear end. He kept trying to take the tube out. At one put I had to call the nurse in (male) and asked him to please yell at my pain in the rear end husband. I learned that it wasn't really his fault. He was under sedation for so long that even though they had reduced it to almost nothing he still could not remember what I told him 2 mins ago. I have to tell you though that when they finally did remove the tube which he was fully awake for and now does not remember, he was so loving out of it. The poo poo that spewed out of his mouth was hilarious. The nurses assured me it was normal.

ICU is brilliant, but its really sad when its the only place in the hospital that is staffed properly and patients / relatives get unrealistic expectations about how the ward is going to be. Especially when someone is fit to be discharged but they cant get a bed - and therefore stay on ICU getting more attention than they need Its usually only little things but, its hard to find 15minutes to describe all the care provided today to the family, get cups of tea on demand or shave someone when you have eight patients as opposed to one. Im off to an acute/continuing medical ward next, after spending most of my time in surgical nursing. Im expecting a lot of COPD and cardiac problems. Oh and its going to be really busy as well.

The job situation in West Canada is likewise terrible - with the exception of mental health positions. However, if your a student, you can apply to work as an Employed Student Nurse (ESN). You are able to pick the days or nights that you can work and get paid reasonably well for it. I highly recommend anyone studying nursing in Canada to apply for a position as an ESN, as most hospitals presently aren't hiring people without some experience. I'm working as a student on the Burn unit btw if anyone is interested.

Mrs. Orgasmo posted:What is ARDS? ARDS is Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. Given any sort of insult to the lungs it's always a risk. Pneumonia, drowning, vomit in the lungs, simply being on a ventilator or almost anything else you can think of can trigger it. Something gets into your lungs and your immune system freaks out and decides to kill it. That's all well and good, but your body's immune system tends to fight infection by sending in suicide bombers. They wipe out the intruder, any of your cells that were nearby and any cells that happened to look funny at them on the way in. It's a fine system when you're dealing with replaceable tissue. Not so good with things like lungs. The lining of the lungs gets absolutely shredded to the point that the lungs inflate with air but the cells that shuffle oxygen to the blood are toast. The few functioning parts of these patients' lungs are rapidly overwhelmed or flooded with debris. You can hook these patients up to ventilators and give them 100% oxygen but only a trickle of it will get into their blood stream. The things that you'd think might help these patients don't. We suppress the immune system but it doesn't make any difference. We used to crank up the ventilator pressure to over-ventilate the good areas of the lungs but it turns out that did more damage than good. Same thing for upping the oxygen levels. Since nothing works very well and mortality is sky-high, we end up throwing a whole bunch of pseudo-science interventions at these people. We even sedate them, paralyze them and flip them upside down and rotate them for days until they either get better or die. True ARDS patients look like this. If you squint you might see the patient. Even the patients who live often end up with scar tissue in their lungs and a nasty predisposition to go into ARDS over and over again. It all looks very technical and awesome until you look at the research and realize there's no evidence for anything beyond keeping ventilator volumes low. I'm guessing Bum asked about it because it's one of the few reasons to keep someone ventilated for that long.

I recently had a bypass patient who was a paramedic and he was a loving wild rear end in a top hat while intubated, I mean just thrashing, he was a big guy, I mean he followed commands momentarily, nodded, did what you asked, responded appropriately, but then went right back to thrashing. Anyway due to my experience I got the feeling that he would do fine extubated and was just pissed off he was tubed. Anyway I called Anesthesia and said hey this guy is acting like a crazy rear end in a top hat, his blood gas results are marginal but he is strong as hell and just looks pissed off and I want to extubate. Anyway anesthesia asked if I wanted to sleep him over night or extubate, I said extubate and he said go ahead, I pulled the tube and he was fine and instantly normal anyway later he said to me about the whole being intubated experience "Is that what I've been doing to people? that was loving horrible."

Thanks for clarifying that. I don't think my husband had that, because no one told me he did. He did however come into the hospital with his right lung full with pnuemonia. They later told me that they initially thought his lung exploaded. So maybe he did? They did not tell us that he had any scar tissue when we left though. McFlurry Fan #1: I guess I was a realistic and knew when they moved him out of ICU he wasn't going to get that great of care. A lot of people like my mother in law don't understand this and end up annoying the nurses. I learned from also being in the hospital that different departments can give different care. Bum the Sad: Luckily the drugs he was under allowed him in a few hours to forget even having a tube down his throat. Which is crazy because I saw him completely coherant. On a side note, the hospital my husband was in had a camera in every ICU room. I was told that in a headquarters was a nurse and doctor monitoring every hospital. I got to experience the camera a few times, they come on the speaker and say hi to the families and when there is a code blue the help out. Is this now the normal?

Prospective nursing student doing my pre-reqs now at Purdue Calumet. This is such a huge change for me, because I never really studied or did any work in high school (still managed to graduate with academic honors. still not sure about that one), and now I'm trying for at least a 3.8 GPA to get in. I've heard over and over how brutal the BSN program is, well, anywhere. Did any of you find time to pursue a minor in anything? I was thinking about minoring in Spanish, but I don't know if that's feasible with the courseload.

Next semester we're going to spend a little more time passing meds, but its at the same boring facility and our instructor has already said we're going to be doing the same a.m. care that we're doing now.

(And nothing against nursing homes--I still work in one as a CNA. The clinicals were just mind-numbing.) It gets better. How long is your program? Will you have a clinical that takes place in a hospital? Doing a.m. care and such is important, though. I'm doing clinicals on a busy hospital floor, and we're still washing up our patients ourselves. It's a great way to do a skin assessment, actually. I have never seen a nurse do an a.m. care though, not even in a nursing home, so after school you can relax.

I agree that doing morning care is very important, and we should be skilled at doing so. It just seems that for the next semester we're going to be doing a lot of that as well, instead of more advanced stuff. Everyone is kinda frustrated with it.

I think a few of my classmates are going to find the head of the program soon and get some clarification on what we're going to be doing. If its all elder care, I'm going to advise them to send me elsewhere because, gently caress that.

Senor Panda posted:So for the length of your entire program you're stuck in a nursing home? That's very odd. My program rotates us every semester, sometimes twice a semester to different floors. First semester was a nursing home, second was a psych floor and then a rehab unit. Right now I'm doing med/surg, and in fourth I have OB/Peds. This seems really weird to me too. I did like 5 weeks on campus in a skills lab. Then did my first LTC rotation which sucked and was boring for like 5 weeks, then went on to a med surg rotaion at a hospital for the remaining 5. This semester I did a 6 week med surg which is the one I mentioned before and now I have two weeks left of the three week OB/PEDS, and I finish the semester and program with a final LTC rotation for 3 weeks. I would be seriously dejected at this point if I'd only been in a nursing home. In my own experience I never learned much of anything from being in a nursing home. I feel for you, I really do. Well good luck with it and I hope it gets better.
