2. Why are nurses so mean to each other?!

   Lovemysugar replied to jwolansk's topic in CNA/MA

   I have to respectfully disagree with Ruby Vee. I'm dealing with it right now. Get a clique pissed off at you and suddenly you're the odd one out. Sure, I could have let a little snowflake use my Littman, he had his i.e. student issued one, but I sa...

3. WGU / Straighterline advice?

   Lovemysugar replied to darbyspinx's topic in Western Governors

   Straighterline is great if you're a self starter. Check out the bundle packages they offer, can save you money if you're a quick study. They range anywhere from the month-to-month or three, four and even a ten course option. They range in time from 3...

4. Advice for a New Nursing Student

   Lovemysugar replied to Alex_xis's topic in Canada

   "Just focus on school and stay away from the ones that make you crazy. My class was largely "mature" students (38-53) and it was still bad." Excellent advice! The clicks that form can be awful- even if you keep your head in the books, you'll be criti...

5. To tell or not to tell?

   Lovemysugar replied to nursingRN123's topic in General Students

   Whatever happened to test integrity? I'd be a little annoyed also, but honestly- anyone relying on quizlet or the tests alone, will have real problems when it comes to nclex prep. Mind your own work and rise above.

6. When your ex or their mistress/lover is the patient?

   Lovemysugar replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in Relations

   My question would how to restrain oneself from NOT wanting to! I know... Mean and unprofessional. But I can dream.

7. Called a code for a seizing patient

   Lovemysugar replied to thesimplenurse's topic in General Nursing

   A lot of medical professionals are saying it's ok what you did... If I were in the pts condition, I would want you to follow the rules from the AHA. Please don't start compressions on me if I have a pulse... Radial, brachial carotid or even ped... Re...

8. I'm So Over Nursing. I would rather work at Costco!!

   Lovemysugar replied to rnfrombama's topic in General Nursing

   It was a Price Club back in the day... Changed things up 10-15 years ago at my store.

9. LVN/LPN to RN's?

   Lovemysugar replied to Lovemysugar's topic in General Nursing

   If you could share I'd appreciate it. I'm just looking for courses specific to nursing. Some of you may have had two classes, some maybe more. I'm interested in what they were and how different those courses are from the traditional LVN courses.

10. LVN/LPN to RN's?

    Lovemysugar posted a topic in General Nursing

    Can any RN's who have started out as an LPN/LVN in CA tell me how many nursing courses are left to complete the RN portion? I'm referring to actual nursing courses including transitional, not humanities, etc... Thank you in advance! I'm not getting c...

11. Need advice - am I too old?

    Lovemysugar replied to AmMit's topic in LPN/LVN

    I'm your age and in an LPN program. It's $34K but I qualify for grants and some credits (not much). If you have a degree you might want to look at an accelerated RN program, though.

12. What will it take to get a job as a new LPN?

    Lovemysugar replied to whatwasithinking75's topic in LPN/LVN

    Forgive me, I have not thoroughly read every response. Have you had anyone review your resume, practiced interview techniques, asked for letters of recommendation from former professors/employers/coworkers? Another thought, sometimes being "EAGER" c...

13. CNAs give medications

    Lovemysugar replied to Beaue's topic in General Nursing

    CNA's absolutely do vitals... That's the only thing they should be allowed to do and are tested on accordingly... In CA anyway. :***:

14. Helping patients kill themselves

    Lovemysugar replied to Cwoods's topic in NP

    Has it really come down to comparing the cost of PAS to a burger? SMH. Sorry, carry on.
