1. Does it help being a CNA in Nursing School?

   TonyafutureRN replied to alexsb1116's topic in General Nursing

   I disagree also that you shouldn't work and go to school. I am going to school full time 5 days a week and still work at least 30 hours a week. And I have a 4.0 halfway through my LPN course. I have to do this to be able to afford child care during s...

2. I'm a potential bone marrow match!

   TonyafutureRN replied to TonyafutureRN's topic in General Nursing

   Some of your replies are so sweet you make me want to cry! Thanks, guys. As for the cost, I went to a bone marrow drive and one time I went with the guy I was dating to a drive, and nobody was charged. The people that were having the drives had raise...

   For the poster who was wondering about how to get registered, go to http://www.marrow.org and it will answer your questions. From what I read on the website,several million people are registered and they've only matched up 11,000 since 1987 so I gue...

4. I'm a potential bone marrow match!

   TonyafutureRN posted a topic in General Nursing

   I had went to a bone marrow drive back in 1998, and I got a call yesterday saying there is a 38 year old woman with Hodgkin's Lymphoma who looks like a preliminary match. They asked for consent to do further testing on my blood,which I gave. If that ...

5. Too Posh to push?? Thoughts please!

   TonyafutureRN replied to FutureNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

   I can't imagine wanting your baby to be born by surgery instead of delivering him/her vaginally. Of course if a c-section was necessary, I would have had one, but choose it? never! I know a LOT of women who've had c-sections. In fact, of my friends, ...

6. My first time

   TonyafutureRN posted a topic in General Nursing

   Today was the first time I had a patient die in my care, or a person die in front of me for that matter. It wasn't a surprise at all since she was a hospice patient and the hospice nurses had told the family the night before that she probably wouldn'...

   I know a criminal background check is done for nursing positions. I was just charged with Failure to Appear in Court for a traffic violation. Will this keep me from getting a job? Thank you. Tonya

   TonyafutureRN replied to proud2basn's topic in General Students

   We have a snow day here too. Just about everything in Va is shut down. My school didn't decide to close til late yesterday evening. They told us they don't close easily since we're on such a tight schedule. I didn't want to miss any school since we a...

10. Venting about entrance requirements

    TonyafutureRN replied to CaterpillarGirl's topic in General Students

    In my school, we also have a couple of people who are from adjoining states that had 2 or more years on a waiting list to get into the LPN program. There are also many of us who didn't want to wait 2 or 3 years on a waiting list for the RN program so...

11. School with small children

    TonyafutureRN replied to studentnurse74's topic in General Students

    I too have little ones. I'm married with a 2 1/2 y/o and a 1 y/o. I agree with the others about studying after they go to bed. I put mine to bed at 7, then it's study time. Before then I give them their dinner, baths, and usually rock and sing or rea...

    TonyafutureRN replied to hoolahan's topic in Home Health

    Yikes! I hate roaches too.I do home health as well but haven't really had a problem with this. I only saw a roach one time in one house. Most of my patients are in pretty clean houses and don't have a problem with this. I would be most scared of bri...

14. finances

    TonyafutureRN replied to boxerlewis's topic in General Students

    Sorry I don't have any advice but you have my sympathies. I too am having trouble with the strain of additional gas and babysitting fees, since I don't get to work except a little on the weekends. I have loans and I'm dreading the day I have to start...

15. Stories from the Edge (of sanity)

    TonyafutureRN replied to Mushu's topic in Emergency

    Way to go RN2 92. I loved your post, it got a laugh from me. I had a question from the nurse who posted about the mother of the child with a fever dressing and covering up the child. I am in school, and trying to learn, but this is one of the things ...
