  2. Our new hire, new grad charge nurse

    what could possibly be the upside to having the 'co-workers take a big bite"??? this must be the 'nurses eating their young' syndrome i've heard about. maybe, instead, some encouragement, maybe even getting to know her & what knowledge/experien...
  3. Starting Nursing at 52 and Nervous

    I'm 52, graduated in May and have been working 12 hr shifts since mid June, full time. It is what you think it will be! If you expect it to be awful & hard it will be, if you expect it to be an amazing fulfillment of your hearts desire and the ...
  4. Can a nurse make massage therapy a full-time career?

    I sold my Massage Therapy practice when I started my final year of nursing school. I live in a small (70,000) city and made a generous living at my practice, which I had for 12.5 years. I am planning to take boards to be Nationally certified in Mas...
  5. I don't know the reason why it is not required, but my advice is TAKE IT! I am a senior nursing student graduating in May with little health care experience prior to this. Take Med terminology, take a nutrition class and a pharmacology class too if...
  6. Older Nursing students

    I completely agree! I am old enough to be nearly eveyone's mom - but they treat me just like any other student and I have totally forgotten that they are (most of them) 25 years younger than me. Once you're in nursing school, in my opinion, we're a...
  7. Older Nursing students

    That is awesome!!! I love reading stories like this, and also like knowing there are others in my age group out there doing the same thing! It keeps our brains healthy and young, in my opinion! I'm going to go on and get my Masters so that when I'...

    You don't say (that I saw) how old you are, but I am 52 and graduate in May....also I have been nominated for Outstanding Nursing Student for my University campus! I don't think one is EVER too old!! Go for it!!
  10. Have you heard of this?

    Yes, I have heard of this company and I know they are reputable, but that's the extent of my knowledge about them. I have heard really good things about their products.
  11. I really want out of bedside nursing.

    For what it's worth, I think you know exactly what to do and I would encourage you to follow your heart. You sound to me like you would be an excellent instructor and lord knows, we need excellent instructors out here! Don't second guess yourself, ...
  12. Took NCLEX-RN today..freaking out!

    I am sure you did great and passed with flying colors! Have faith! We'll all be here to celebrate with you!!
  13. I'm so envious

    Well, I'm way out here in South Dakota and the University has traditional day program, but also offer Internet programs which allow the student to do their clinical rotation on the weekends and some evenings. I doubt you want to come here just for t...
  14. Stool sample for Micro class?????

    We were told we would be culturing poop samples, but we could bring dog poo instead of our own! No one was grossed out and the only requirement was that it had to be 'fresh', as in only a few hours old if possible. I'd ask if that is acceptable, oth...
