1. Do you prefer to contend with the smell of stool or the smell of Glade?

   SeanPN777 replied to RNdynamic's topic in General Nursing

   The ONLY thing that makes me squeamish is poop and colostomy bags. I would take a chemical headache over poop smell any day. That being said, I usually use a procedure mask with benzoin rubbed on the outside of the mask near my nose... Smells like sa...

5. Nursing Program Question

   SeanPN777 replied to BK21's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It's like that here too. Either get a generic associates in science (AA/AS) and then your BSN or get an ADN and then your BSN. The best reason to get your ADN prior to your BSN is that it allows you to sit for the NCLEX, become a Registered Nurse an...

    The class is $65 - Registration, $50 - Books & Fees, $840 - Tuition... Totals out to $955. I also thought that going this route would give me a lot of networking opportunities to find a position as an RN once I'm done with school. I guy talked to...

    Haven't read all the comments so I apologize if this is redundant information... but if you join the student nurse association there is insurance available through them. I'm not sure about the cost though. I joined through my college.

14. Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

    SeanPN777 replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

    I think it's petty to worry about what someone else is doing in class. Who cares if they're eating? How does that have any affect on anyone else? We're all adults and busy and trying to do multiple things at once to try and fit it all into one schedu...
