   mstewart replied to sweetmom's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Wow, i know exactly how you feel. I was scared of puking at the first sniff of smelly poo. Now, it is no big deal. I just try to get my nose as close to my armpit as possible. I am entering my last semester of an LPN program this fall. You will be t...

2. MA's Calling Themselves Nurses?

   mstewart replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

   If I offended anyone by saying that my grandma reffered to caring for people as nursing and that was years ago. What I was trying to say is that i have heard of the term being used loosely. I forgot to add that I distinctly remember seeing everyone i...

3. MA's Calling Themselves Nurses?

   mstewart replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

   I am a student and would be really PO'd if some one who wasn't licensed claimed to be a nurse. I would be even more PO'd if i were the patient. However, i would say that the general population does not know the difference among PCA, NA, LPN, RN, HUC-...

5. Need suggestions on BSL/CPR certificate!! Many thx

   mstewart replied to Isabel2004's topic in General Nursing

   This will be mostly a refresher. Although the bagging will be new...although I wouldn't say it is all that HARD. I am sure when you are doing it in real life it can be stressful. I took a class at the local hospital and we were done in like 7-8 hours...

8. Breast Reduction ???? To or not to ????

   mstewart replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

   I think the breast reduction made them look skinnier. One had always had a relatively flat stomach, you just couldn't see it before. The other one is the shape of a potato anyway-so it just makes her look marginally skinnier. I would think that most ...

9. Breast Reduction ???? To or not to ????

   mstewart replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

   I know 2 people that have had breast reductions and both absolutely love their new boobs. One used to have her bras specially made so that she could tolerate them for an 8 hour work day. She just loves her new look-and being able to shop at a regular...

10. Nursing school loans

    mstewart replied to gladtobeOB's topic in General Nursing

    My SIL is a transcriptionist. She was making $14 an hr a year or 2 ago. But she has been doing it for at least 5 years. I don't know how easy it is to find openings. I think it only took her 1 or 2 semesters at a tech college.

11. Who Has Already Started Packing Their Backpacks?

    mstewart replied to Jen2's topic in General Students

    Last week I went and picked up the only used book the school had for one of my classes. I have my A&P book at work with me everyday (although i haven't opened it as much as I should). I have a wedding the first weekend in Aug-after that I can foc...

12. Depressed about job experiences as CNA

    mstewart replied to Krissy NY's topic in General Nursing

    You pick up your chin and keep on going with what you want to do! If you like the residents and you like the work, don't let anyone stand in your way. You sound like just the kind of person those residents needed. And i think your boyfriend was right...

13. How often are the Dads prosecuted?

    mstewart replied to LydiaNN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I went to high school with a girl who got prego when she was 16 and her boyfriend was 15 (he was 16 when they had the baby). I believe she had to go to court and they ordered that she had to go to some sort of class-kind of like AA-I can't remember w...

14. Student loans

    mstewart replied to mstewart's topic in General Students

    For all your replies and the head's up on the max out amount. I did some ball park figures and i should be okay to take the extra they are giving me this year and still be okay to continue on to and ADN-and bridge BSN later. It is really sad (but kin...

15. Student loans

    mstewart replied to mstewart's topic in General Students

    contact your fin. aid office. I am almost sure that you can take out subsidized (sp?) or unsub. as much as you need (up to $6625 a year) even if you get grants. I would just let them know you need the $$ for living expenses. Yeah, that rent/mortgage ...
