1. Just finished the MSN-Ed!

   kitkat260 replied to ukjenn231's topic in Western Governors

   Congratulations! I started May 1st and am hoping to be done in six months. This definitely inspired me that it can be done.

2. Choose Your Favorite TV Nurse

   kitkat260 replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

   Carla from Scrubs. She always advocated for her patients no matter what she had to do or who she made angry by doing so and she demanded (and received) respect from the doctors for herself as a nurse.

3. which MSN to finish?

   kitkat260 replied to BirkieGirl's topic in Post Graduate

   I would be interested in reading the replies to this also. I am interested in Nursing Education but I am wondering if it would be better to get a MSN in Clinical Leadership so that I can have more career opportunities because from what I can see, you...

4. Readmission-a small rant

   kitkat260 replied to kitkat260's topic in Western Governors

   Thank you everyone for the encouragement. I appreciate it. I did a lot of thinking since I received that email to make sure that I was still dedicated to getting my BSN and I decided to accept readmission through WGU under their terms. It will be wor...

5. Readmission-a small rant

   kitkat260 replied to kitkat260's topic in Western Governors

   I was approved for financial aid already for this next term so I think that it is just WGU's policy, though I noticed today when I logged in to my WGU portal that it says that I am in good standing for financial aid. I am going to contact the bursar'...

6. Readmission-a small rant

   kitkat260 posted a topic in Western Governors

   Just had to share a little bit of frustration that I've had today with the process of trying to get readmitted to WGU. Sorry in advance for my rant. I had began my RN to BSN nearly 4 years ago at WGU, just shortly after I had finished my earning my...

7. Pearsonvue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 3

   kitkat260 replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX

   "The candidate has previously passed this exam. A new appointment cannot be scheduled" I can't wait to see my license number post to the BON website :clpty:

8. Hard time finding LPN-RN online programs...

   kitkat260 replied to Mr.NurseGuy's topic in Online Learning

   Indiana State University has a distance learning program for LPN to BSN. This might be one step more than you were wanting but it might be worth it to have the extra education.

9. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

   kitkat260 replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

   I think that I am most irritated to see fellow nurses put that we have "recieved" medication for a resident. Um, it's "i" before "e" except after c. Received! You have a college education people, let's act like it!

10. Do you identify yourself as a nurse when you or your family are a patient?

    kitkat260 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I try not to introduce myself as a nurse b/c I realize that just because I'm a nurse, it doesn't mean that I know everything about the medical situation (there's a reason that nurses specialize!) and I'm afraid that the doctor or other nurses will ju...

11. Really struggling with first job in nursing home

    kitkat260 replied to Pegasus65's topic in LPN/LVN

    Pegasus65, I'm glad to hear that your new job is working out so well. I, too, seem to have made it into a facility that is willing to train and answer questions. And yes, the med cart is so much more organized than the one at the last job. I am absol...

12. Ivy Tech 'Fall 2010' Applicants

    kitkat260 replied to Emmi7's topic in Indiana

    I have the same issue. I used clear nail polish to cover the part of the metal on the watch that touches my skin. This seems to have helped. I've also worn a long sleeved shirt under my scrub shirt and placed the watch on the shirt material so that t...

    kitkat260 replied to Pegasus65's topic in LPN/LVN

    Thank you kocheli, positive postings from members is one of the main reasons that I keep coming back to this website! It really helps to have someone else share their experiences with you to let you know that we're not the only ones out there that st...

14. Really struggling with first job in nursing home

    kitkat260 replied to Pegasus65's topic in LPN/LVN

    Yes, never a good sign when an employee is "out of there" at the first opportunity! I was just offered a job today at another nursing home. At first I didn't want to accept it but I had just had a conversation with another former classmate a few hour...

15. Really struggling with first job in nursing home

    kitkat260 replied to Pegasus65's topic in LPN/LVN

    Thank you Pegasus65. It really helps to know that I am not alone in this experience. I have been feeling so bad about this experience and it doesn't help that my former classmate is still working there and I'm not. My husband has pointed out to me th...
