   Chay74 replied to Lyonda's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Not sure about some of the Universities around here, but the community college I currently attend does not require the TEAS. In fact, they stopped taking that about 4 or 5 years ago and now have an overall point system. The majority of the points acc...

2. Baby vs no baby... help!

   Chay74 replied to Abby_3191's topic in General Students

   I would also wait until you have finished school. It is one thing to have an 8 year old than to have a newborn. Newborns require more care than 8 year olds. Also, during that Post-Partum time, you may not want to go back to nursing but stay with your...

3. Husband is not ready for me to go to nursing school!!

   Chay74 replied to hamolady's topic in General Students

   All of these things are just excuses to put you down. If he can read, he can follow a recipe. There are many Youtube videos out there that can teach cooking. I can't say anything else because it would be a violation. Good for you for sticking to your...

   I'm 42 (soon to turn 43 in a week and a half) and I'm hoping to get into the nursing program by age 45. I went to a nursing orientation one day at the school I currently attend and woman who was giving the orientation stated that some places prefer t...

   Chay74 replied to hamolady's topic in General Students

   OP, I am also going to put another factor in this. You said he was a truck driver? WHEN is he going to find time to go to school and study? A lot of schools offer online courses for him (My own husband just finished his Bachelors, and it was done onl...

   There is a difference in euthanasia and hospice/palliative work. My mother-in-law passed away last june from a rare cancer. She had the surgeries to try to get it all, but it did not work. She refused chemo treatment. The pain was so bad that she was...

7. Graceful way to NOT answer all the personal questions my patients ask me.

   Chay74 replied to CoffeeYogaNurse's topic in Relations

   I am a pre-nursing student (getting the pre-reqs now) and live in the south. I am not originally from the south (i grew up military and we moved around a lot), but I have observed that the majority of the time politics and religion are THE things to ...

8. Violence in Nursing

   RubyVee... that is what I was trying to say. Thank you. :) I couldn't put it into the correct order of words. Right now I am blaming the heat.

9. Violence in Nursing

   Chay74 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   "Sometimes a patient cannot be blamed for his or her actions. I've only been injured by a patient once. It was about 2:00 am when I heard my colleague call, "I can use some help in here." His patient was in flash pulmonary edema with 02 sat droppin...
