  1. No. Don't Move Her Can't You See the Baby Is Coming?

    Wow, that was funny!! It shows that you and your staff are caring to even go along with it, especially take it that far. This is one of the perks of nursing. You can't make this stuff up!!
  2. Woohoo!! I cleaned the shower today!!

    LOL!! So it's true that once you start your clinicals that you have to let a pleasure such as keeping your house clean go!!! I hope I can deal with that becasue I am a neat freak!!
  3. Nervous about graduating next year...

    It's normal to be a little jittery knowing that you are actually about to be put out there in the work force. My advice, for information forgotten, is to ALWAYS keep your nursing notes, handouts, etc... I still have my notebooks from my high school n...
  4. Stay at home for year after graduating?

    If I was in your shoes, no kids, and a new graduate, I would begin my career first. I don't know how your financial situation is or will be looking by 2011, but I do know that two checks are better than one. Why not save up money to carry you when yo...
  5. Working while going to school?

    When I started my pre-reqs and went to my first nursing seminar, they made it VERY clear that working and trying to do clinicals were near impossible. I was told that at the most you could get 16 hours because of all the studying and how time consumi...
  6. Being a CNA first

    Yes, becoming a CNA first does gives you a "leg up" on what is to come as a RN. Plus it looks grat on your resume to see that you had humble beginnings with nursing. Being a CNA is a humbling experience: the pay, the duties, etc...
  7. I need your help, please....I might fail ):

    You remind me of Elliot from Scrubs!! Just a lil humor... ANYWAY, you having knowledge should give you confidence. Maybe you need to do a little mediation before the start of each clinical or pray that GOD helps you with your confidence at work. When...
  8. Why so many fail out of our program?

    Maybe some of the NS in the program really wern't or aren't prepared for what the nursing program entitles. The difficulty of the whole program I mean. Just becasue you have been wantung to be a nurse for as long as you can remember doesn't mean that...
  9. I would recommend going to a community college and consider online classes. Take one just to try it and see if you like it, becasue they aren't for everyone. BUT if you want to have your cake and eat it too (meaning spending invaluable time with your...
  10. Want To Become A RN - Advice Greatly Appreciated

    I would reccomend a two year program. That way if you decide to go ahead and get your BSN or MSN, the tuition would be paid by what ever hospitial you work for. Yes since you work from home anyway, you may prefer online classes. If you do online clas...
  11. Dipoma Nurse and Proud!

    I thought about becoming a CNA, but then decided to get my Associates, then Bachelor. If you do decide to take the diploma route, you are going to endure more hands on experience and become more relaxed in the hospital or nursing home setting. It's j...
  12. Brother busted again DUI..help with anxiety

    The best thing to do is to pray for your family member who has the addiction. Don't be a crutch for that person either, or they will ALWAYS run to you when they hit rock bottom. Tough love and prayer helped me with this situation. You can talk to the...
  13. First Semester Bomb

    I'm in a similar situation. I tried online classes and I don't like them, right now anyway. If you retake the classes, make sure you get a "A" or "B" to prove that you learned from your mistakes. What's in the past is unchangable, but you can work &a...
  14. Advice to a new nurse wanting to quit...

    Your job, whatever it maybe, should be enjoyed from the time you clock in til the time you leave. You have tried to stick it out for a VERY long time. 6 months?! You have my upmost respect for not waving the white flag already. I'm sure there are oth...
  15. I was a ______ prior to being a nurse/student nurse

    I was a crew trainer @ McDonald's, the Avon & Mary Kay Lady, and was the manager of a beauty supply store before I became a student nurse. My back up plans, if nursing doesn't work out, are event planning, business administration, and motivationa...
