   I so want this to happen.

2. Why is it so hard to get A's?

   sunflowerr replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

   This is the funniest thing I've seen all day 😂 (Not being making fun of you or anything OP, just some banter.)

3. Brian Short News

   sunflowerr replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

   I can't believe this. What terrible news. I have been a member of AN for about a year, and in these past few months I have started reading this site everyday. I love it so much. Brian Short has created such an amazing community that has helped so ma...

4. Why does everyone say that they "consigned" a drug waste.....

   sunflowerr replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

   I once saw a post on Facebook where someone said they were "lack toast intolerant" ...they were completely serious.

5. Volunteer opportunities for nurses near Riverside, CA

   sunflowerr replied to mountainview210's topic in General Nursing

   Google and find out the nearest hospitals to you, visit their websites and see if they have a volunteer application, call them if there's nothing on their website and ask them your licensing question.

6. 8/22 What I learned this week....

   sunflowerr replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

   - I'm not ready for school. - This summer went by way too quickly (it still feels like July to me). - I need to get the brakes on my car fixed - My school waits until the very last minute to send out our course schedules and this annoys me greatly....

7. colleague does not want to take day off

   sunflowerr replied to bellefleur's topic in General Nursing

   Someone actually enjoys their job? There must be something wrong with her!

8. Should I continue to further my education of becoming a nurse or just pick another major??

   sunflowerr replied to hamolady's topic in Pre-Nursing

   How about you become a CNA? Classes typically take a few weeks. That way you can be working relatively soon, and can work while in nursing school. And maybe find a nursing program with a shorter waiting list?

9. Internship/volunteering???

   sunflowerr replied to YoungMaleCNA's topic in General Nursing

   In my personal experience, I would say that volunteering is a good experience and could benefit you as a CNA. At the hospital I volunteer at, I go from room to room on one unit and ask patients how they're doing, refill their water if it's empty, get...

10. Some people are too smart for nursing

    sunflowerr replied to Careerchange88's topic in Relations

    I have heard this from relatives before, "You shouldn't stop at being just a nurse! You should become a doctor." These are the same people who don't know what being a nurse really is...they think it's an easy job and nurses don't do anything.

11. Is it normal to be nervous about becoming a nurse?

    sunflowerr replied to PianoTiles's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I relate to what you said in this paragraph a lot. You're not the only one feeling that way. I think it's normal to be nervous about nursing school, because it IS competitive, and the workload CAN be hard to handle. But if you are determined and nu...

12. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    sunflowerr replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    This gave me a good laugh. :)

13. Every Nurse has that one patient they'll remember forever

    sunflowerr replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, just a volunteer, but I have a few people who really stick out in my mind... There was this one man who seemed pretty quiet. One day though, I saw him in the hallway, and I asked him if he was going home now. He was like "Hell ye...

14. So torn between Nursing and Social Work... advice?

    sunflowerr replied to nybsn's topic in General Students

    I relate to you a whole lot. At one point, I had considered going to school for nursing, social work, or OT as well. I want a job where I am able to help people and I'm interested in working with people who are mentally ill. You do both of these thin...

15. Are ER Patients Getting More Ridiculous?

    sunflowerr replied to us2uk4u's topic in Emergency

    This. Once, my mom had an serious allergic reaction during the middle of the night. Me and my sister were around 4 years old at the time, and our parents didn't feel comfortable leaving us home alone, so they brought us to the ER with them. Life happ...
