1. Tattoos and piercings

   averna posted a topic in General Students

   Hey guys, I'm about to start taking my prereqs for NS, and I was just wondering how tattoos and piercings are dealt with in nursing school and on the job. I have a small tattoo on the inside of my left wrist, and I have a small nose stud. Both are v...

2. Nursing Student Days

   averna replied to tropanium's topic in General Nursing

   I.. am kind of speechless. There are limits to when things are funny. It's almost cute and funny, sure, but it also kind of makes me wanna smack you. Grow up.

3. These Pre-reqs... are making me nuts!

   averna replied to averna's topic in General Students

   Thanks for all the encouragement, guys! Also... GOOD NEWS!!! I decided I should call the biology department, just to see if maaaybe for some strange, odd, wonderful reason, I could get out of taking the pre-req for Anatomy. The guy who answers the ph...

   Melmarie - that's awesome! Grats on getting into the NH program =) Funny - I live right in Kendall square (well, my boyfriend does, and I basically live there. My actual apartment is in Central Sq, but I'm pretty much never there ^^) Are you going t...

6. These Pre-reqs... are making me nuts!

   averna replied to averna's topic in General Students

   I'm looking at some accelerated BSN programs... where I can get my RN in less than 2 years. I was originally thinking about a direct entry master's program, but I think it would be more beneficial for me to get my RN, work a few years, and then once ...

7. I have a tough question

   averna replied to Genetics56's topic in General Nursing

   I think you need to be a little bit more specific. Also: LOL @rhonda .... hiLARious :chuckle

8. These Pre-reqs... are making me nuts!

   averna replied to averna's topic in General Students

   Yeah... at this point, I'm thinking that there's no way I can work and take those pre-reqs part time, unless I want to start nursing school in like 2012. If I can just quit my job, take out a loan, and take these courses full time.... I might be able...

9. These Pre-reqs... are making me nuts!

   averna posted a topic in General Students

   These pre-reqs for these nursing programs are driving me nuts. For most programs, I need the basics: Anatomy, Physiology, Stats, Chem, and Microbiology. Some of the programs also need Nutrition, or Intro to Psych. The Stats and the psych are fine (I ...

10. Positive Spin on The Nurses that Don't Eat their Young

    averna replied to nurselsteele's topic in General Nursing

    This is an awesome thread... I'm going to be in nursing school in a year or two, and I've just pretty much resigning myself to the fact that co-workers, instructors, and my fellow students are all going to suck. (Ok, I mean, not really. But I've read...

11. Registe (red) Nurse

    averna replied to RedWeasel's topic in General Nursing

    I LOVE that idea. Although then you'd have a bunch of random people walking around with "registered nurse" written on their shirts. I feel like that's a weird, bad lawsuit waiting to happen. "She didn't give me CPR correctly! I was dying on the stre...

12. "I Agree" button?

    averna replied to alyx's topic in General Nursing

    Any site moderators/admins/allnurses members who want to see this in action - see if you can access the forums at Ravelry.com. It's a knitting community website, and you can click different buttons on posts - you can "agree", "disagree", "love", "fun...

13. I hate nursing

    averna replied to prettylittlenurse2b's topic in General Students

    You started nursing school because you were "bored"? I'm trying really hard here to understand, and to not offend anyone. But that in itself just makes me speechless. I think you need to rethink what you want to do with your life. I'm not even IN nu...

14. So you all hate nursing?.....

    averna replied to averna's topic in General Students

    See, that's where I thrive. Right now I work in a library, and we just sit here. Things are so slow. Honestly? I liked WAITRESSING more than this, despite the weird hours and the being on your feet all day and the getting crappy tips from customers. ...

15. So you all hate nursing?.....

    averna replied to averna's topic in General Students

    Gotcha. I'm trying to get a good perspective on what it will *really* be like. I think that I have had a sort of rosie colored view on what it could be like, and reading these forums and others has somewhat been a rude awakening. I'm going to have to...
