1. UND PMHNP- Leadership Fall 2019-Spring 2020

   Asinda posted a topic in NP Students

   As many would understand I've been devoting a lot of time towards researching my options for a PMHNP MSN. For a long time I've had my eyes fixed on the UND online program- they had a good reputation and were one of the more affordable options near me...

2. Clinical Hair

   Asinda replied to VampsGal2009's topic in General Students

   I have extremely thick hair as well, a little past my shoulders. I understand how it can downright hurt to have that much hair up in a bun, and a pain to keep it there. Depending on your personal style, you may be able to pull off what I call my "pig...

3. What reason is used for call offs!

   Asinda replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

   Hehe, when I was working as a retail manager I had one of my assistant managers call in because she "had caught her teenage son having sex in her bed". The previous day.

4. Do you feel this way too?

   Asinda replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

   LOL Yeah I hear what you are saying... academics is the one area where I become a totally pretentious jerk. I am routinely amazed by some of my classmates. If someone actually tries and it is still a struggle for them, I will gladly offer my help. I ...

5. A&P section on Hesi Pre-Entrance Exam

   Asinda replied to parnelly's topic in General Students

   Not to be rude, but nobody has answered this question because: a.) You have posted 3 seperate threads all asking basically the same thing. I answered one of them. b.) If you are looking for information for a specific school or a specific state, you a...

6. Singled out nursing student

   Asinda replied to Blacksheep80's topic in General Students

   Maybe evaluate how your perceptions of how you EXPECT people to treat/think about you could cause you to give off an impression that keeps people at a distance? I haven't been completely in your shoes, but I understand some of what you are feeling I...

8. CDC advice on Zombies

   Asinda replied to Flare's topic in General Nursing

   I LOVE zombie movies. Love. I love the whole aspect of social reflection you can get out of a good zombie movie. Romero's movies are excellent. I participate in the Zombie Pub Crawl in downtown Minneapolis every October. My favorite type of zombie? ...

9. What's your nursing kryptonite?

   Asinda replied to ktliz's topic in General Nursing

   Broken bones or broken teeth (rotting/missing teeth are ick, but not so bad as broken). Snot, urine, feces, vomit, pus, anything like that doesn't make me bat an eye. But seeing an arm or leg at an unnatural angle sends a jolt of revulsion from somep...

10. Why is it everyone's favorite?

    Asinda replied to KareBear0609's topic in General Students

    The only one of those choices that remotely interests me is ER. It appeals to the high-stimulation ADHD side of me, and I get a kick out of dealing with the truly ridiculous reasons people come to the ER (whether it be stupid nonsense or more of a "h...

11. How old were you when you finished nursing school?

    Asinda replied to pgray1229's topic in General Nursing

    I will be graduating with a BSN at age 29 after a prior career in retail. For the person curious about having a BSN at 20, I am imagining she probably was a PSEO (post-secondary education option) student. Many schools allow you the option to go to un...

12. Does it matter where you get your ADN to get a job?

    Asinda replied to fianne's topic in Minnesota

    If you are very concerned with money issues, yet want to be employable, I would highly recommend either the MN program from U of MN or the BSN from Saint Cloud State. I actually just got into the nursing program at SCSU, and I am very excited to begi...

13. Are my high ambitions practical?

    Asinda replied to Asinda's topic in Career Support

    Thank you elkpark! I didn't realize that psych NPs took on the role of counselor too, in speaking with some of my advisors I had gotten the impression that they filled more of a low key psychiatrist role... not a lot of prolonged contact with single ...
