1. 40 yr old with GED. Is a MSN even possible?

   angie2927 replied to shamis's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I applaud your dedication, but one thing you said bugs me... you don't want to be a CNA because that is basically a "diaper changer". Good luck finding an RN job where you aren't sometimes the diaper changer. I went to nursing school with a girl wh...

   Hey, just wanted to make sure you got the med that I ordered 30 seconds ago started.

3. Full Moon Syndrome: Fact or Fiction

   angie2927 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you! I thought I might be the only nurse alive without a superstitious bone in my body. I'm still new and the more experienced nurses always remind me about not using the "Q-word" and other crazy beliefs they have. Come on! A car is not going t...

4. A difficult initiation to nursing in tornado affected area

   angie2927 replied to angie2927's topic in Relations

   Don't worry, I'm under no illusion that there will not be plenty of difficult times for me in the future. But I'm glad I was able to pass this first difficult time without falling apart :)

5. A difficult initiation to nursing in tornado affected area

   angie2927 replied to angie2927's topic in Relations

   Thanks for thinking of us. Thankfully, my family is fine. I too am thinking of the families who have suffered in this storm. At least two families have lost loved ones, including a 5 year old child, and many more have lost their homes.

   angie2927 posted a topic in Relations

   I am a brand new nurse (and I mean brand new- took NCLEX and got my license last week-type new). I work in a small hospital in northeast Nebraska near where the devastating tornados hit last night. Even though I'm really new, I think I may have alr...

7. Nclex TOMORROW

   angie2927 replied to fingerscrossed7's topic in NCLEX

   I take it tomorrow too. I haven't been too nervous today but now that I'm trying to go to bed and get some rest I'm getting more and more nervous. Ugh!!!

8. NCLEX Question? READ THIS!

   angie2927 replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX

   Thanks for posting this! I take the NCLEX on Monday (June 9). I was definitely planning on trying the PVT- I know it's not official, but better than nothing. I already have a job lined up so I have a lot riding on this one test. Wish me luck!

9. Precepting Questions

   angie2927 replied to JLA's topic in Student Assist

   I'm in my last semester too and I requested surgery at a decent-sized hospital for my preceptorship. I got it, but now I'm second-guessing. The nurse manager in charge of students told me she had no trouble getting me in because "nobody wants surge...

10. We're not here for that

    angie2927 replied to happynurse49's topic in General Students

    I'm in my last semester of my BSN. During my clinical time, I usually do try to steer away from doing too much of the aide-type work. Not because I think I'm too good, or because I think I won't be doing that in my job, but because I am there to le...
