  2. ER Nurses. Read This!

    One of my favorite ER Docs handed me a copy of this after a pretty bad pediatric case I had came to a close. I keep it next to my bed and look at it when I question why I'm still doing this.
  3. Is this possible?!?!

    OK...I have to play devil's advocate here...for your sakes I hope you are both good students and have similar learning styles. One couple I went to school with ended up filing for and are now divorced. She was very flirtatious and depended on her loo...

    There are some things I don't miss about school... 1. Any time missed was to be made up in the form of a research paper, community service (verified), presentations to the class, etc. This included being 1 minute late. 2. No piercings, no jewelry of ...
  6. Order of Pre-reqs...need advice

    Thanks everyone! I figured it might be a good idea to take microbiology this year and take anatomy next fall and physiology next spring. Once I do go in to the nursing program, I'll be in as a second year student and can finish in two semesters (sinc...

  8. Switching my career field (Advise needed)

    Sonny: Welcome to the West Coast...other than deciding if this is really for you, have you considered going the direct route and getting your RN/BSN? If I had the time and money, I would have done it in a heartbeat. I love being an LVN (I work in the...

  10. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    Things I've learned... -don't change a light bulb while standing naked on top of the pool table -NASCAR+Alcohol=ER visits lasting 3-4 hours -gangster bullets will always miss intended targets and hit innocent bystanders -the infant having a febrile s...

  12. I need a pick me up...please!

    My heart goes out to you...when one of my classmates ended up having surgery 2 days before graduation we all got together and threw him a mini-graduation in his room before he was discharged. Our instructor pinned him and gave him his certificate of ...

  15. LVN to RN bridge VS 30 unit option (california)

    Welcome aboard! I went the same route you are pursuing and it is tough! The 30-unit option doesn't give you the ADN, your RN may not be recognized out of California, and you still get stuck doing all the pre-reqs for the RN, not to mention getting th...
