1. Possible to take extra class per semester at another school during nursing program?

   roxalot replied to RnStudent2021's topic in General Students

   I think this is smart in a way as you have a plan B in case you don't get into medical school, however you are taking the seat of an actual student who wants to be an RN and not go on to medical school. Not sure how I feel about that. I know there is...

2. New back-to-school worry: Unvaccinated classmates

   roxalot replied to wtbcrna's topic in Headlines

   Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it. I don't think it will change my husbands mind, I do fear he has been indoctrinated in some things when it comes to medical care (however he does believe in acute emergency care, as his father broke his bon...

3. New back-to-school worry: Unvaccinated classmates

   roxalot replied to wtbcrna's topic in Headlines

   My husbands chiropractic college teaches against vaccination. They had an entire course on it one quarter. I wasn't there, nor have I ever attended chiropractic school so I don't know what was taught. He holds a doctorate degree (and he had to take U...

4. New back-to-school worry: Unvaccinated classmates

   roxalot replied to wtbcrna's topic in Headlines

   I know first hand vaccines aren't 100% effective. My son had both doses of Varicella and still got chicken pox. I just wanted to see what response was for to the question because my chiropractor husband refuses to let me vaccinate our daughter (my s...

6. Danskos?

   roxalot replied to Rn4life27's topic in Uniform/Gear

   My Danskos used to hurt my pinky toe and across the top of my foot. I started wearing slightly thinner socks in and it fixed the problem. I don't know if breaking them in will fix it, I changed my socks about 5 shifts in so I really feel like it was...

7. Be careful not to let people talk you out of your career ambitions

   roxalot replied to DadStudentPerhaps's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I wish I had followed this advice 15 years ago. I let two friends who were RNs all me out of doing nursing school. I just floated around college and ended up being a Chemistry major. I've never been happy with that. Then later on I wanted to go to nu...

8. What's the weirdest baby name?

   roxalot replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

   ^^^same here about the news story. In fact the father was on the local news here (Nashville area) saying it wasn't right the judge changed the boys name.

   I've seen Niamh before and knew that one. I went to high school with a girl named Niamh. I actually thought of naming my own daughter this. I've seen some unusual spellings. Such as Xachary for Zachary.

10. What's the weirdest baby name?

    roxalot replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I wasn't aware the father didn't want the name. I live in the area where these people live and on the local news here (WSMV-4) the father (maybe step-father, I assume father because the journalist called him the father) was saying that it wasn't righ...

    roxalot replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No it was Caoimhe pronounced Kee-vuh, I was trying to pronounce it Cam-ee. It was bugging me so I went and found where I had written it down.

12. Magnet curse!

    roxalot replied to ICUNurseG's topic in Professionalism

    I had no idea what magnet status was until I started reading it on AN and researched it. I worked in a new 300 bed hospital for over 3 years and never heard of it. I guess we weren't a magnet hospital, and apparently we weren't striving for it either...

    My mom had an Lemonjello at the bank she used to work at, but as i recall he didnt have a twin or brother that she knew about. That is a first hand account, I've personally seen the L-a and the Candida and the Shithead working in pharmacy. The mother...

14. Has anyone discouraged you from nursing?

    roxalot replied to miko.'s topic in General Students

    I'm a non-traditional student. I have a husband and 2 kids, 33 years old. My parents have been the biggest nay Sayers. I was so stupid when I was younger. My parents were paying for my college and I had no loans. I couldn't decide what I wanted to do...

15. What's the weirdest baby name?

    roxalot replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I personally would not choose the name Messiah for my child. Messiah is the Hebrew word meaning "anointed one" Just as I wouldn't name my child Christ as it is the Greek word meaning "anointed one." However, I do like the name Christian, Christopher,...
