   jenni82104 replied to ToxicShock's topic in Michigan

   Hi there, I go to OU. First of all, it does not matter if you take all of your pre-reqs at a community college. I got a liberal arts Associate's degree, and took all of my pre-nursing classes at OCC and they all transfered. Talk to a counsler at y...

3. How do you feel when you see family members and their Note pads in hand

   jenni82104 replied to lpnflorida's topic in General Nursing

   I am not a nurse, but I have had people do this in my own family. My fil was very sick and in the ICU, and my mil and their kids wrote everything down that was being done to him. I know that we were not looking to sue at all, we just needed to keep...

   jenni82104 replied to emily_ganshert's topic in General Nursing

   Applied at two schools, one a community college, and one university. Got into both. Got my letter in the summer for the cc, and could start in the fall. I had to wait one year before I could start at the university.

6. Confused, Mad and Frustrated

   jenni82104 replied to rholman's topic in General Nursing

   I know what you are going through. I have to stay at my job one more year before I am able to quit, and I am so burnt out also, it is very difficult to go in six days a week and still keep doing a great job. When I think about chucking it all, I ju...

7. Receiving ADN: Possibilities afterward?

   jenni82104 replied to jollydogg_RN's topic in General Nursing

   JMO, if you get a Bs in bio or chem, I think there is very little you could do with it. You could teach at a junior college, but then you would have to get a masters before you could do that.

8. Have you read "Nursing Against the Odds"?

   jenni82104 replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Nursing

   Hmm. I am one of those "pollyanna" types that wanted to get into nursing so that I could actually spend time with people and really take care of them. Part of the problem is nursing school itself. I just spent 15 wks learning about nursing theorie...

9. would you do a home care shift in an unsafe area at night?

   jenni82104 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

   Ok, this may not be a viable solution, but are nurses that have to go into these dangerous neighborhoods allowed to carry a gun if they have a CCW? I'm thinking that is probably not allowed by the employer.

10. When should I take Classes?

    jenni82104 posted a topic in CNA/MA

    Hi everyone, I have a question. I am going to nursing school part-time right now, and I was thinking that I would like to get certified to be a CNA. Problem is, I have to work at my current job another year before I can leave. I want to take CNA c...

11. Experience and Degree

    jenni82104 replied to jenni82104's topic in Case Management

    No, that was really helpful! I have a much better idea of what it's about now. I just need to get through school, and go out and find a clinical area I enjoy and get to be expert at it. Is there a need for CM's, are jobs plentiful?

12. Have you read "Nursing Against the Odds"?

    jenni82104 replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Nursing

    I stopped reading it because it was so depressing, lol. From what I did read though, it is a really good book.

13. Experience and Degree

    jenni82104 replied to jenni82104's topic in Case Management

    Thanks for the info. Ok, so if you have to get an MSN, what do you get it in? For example, at my school you can get a Masters to be a nurse educator, an NP, or a CRNA.

14. Experience and Degree

    jenni82104 posted a topic in Case Management

    Hello everyone, I had a couple of questions about case management. 1. How many years clinical experience should a person have before they can be a good cm? 2. What type of experience is good to get? Is MED/SURG good? 3. I am currently getting my BS...

15. Question about shifts

    jenni82104 replied to jenni82104's topic in Michigan

    Thanks for the advice Anna. I really don't want to do night shift because of family obligations, but I will do what I have to do. I'm not really surprised that new people just starting out would get the undesirable shifts.
