1. sigma theta tau

   fasolagrrl replied to LuvPedsNrsg's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, join. It doesn't hurt, and it might help. It is another avenue for opportunity when you are out of school and in the world of work. I plan to use my membership in the organization as a vehicle to support the nursing students at my eventual alma ...

2. Why would anyone do the ARMY/NAVY CRNA program?

   fasolagrrl replied to ThePrestige's topic in CRNA

   The military is a very secure existence. You know you will have a job, a place to live, food to eat, medical care, and if you stay in long enough, retirement benefits. Every post/base is a community unto itself with entertainment and activity facilit...

3. lpns in hospitals?

   fasolagrrl replied to VM85's topic in Massachusetts

   There's an ad for one LPN job at Lahey on monster.

4. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

   fasolagrrl replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

   Yeah, that's what people say. And I'm sure it's true for some. I even think I've had nipple burn on one or two occasions. But the main reason, IMHO, is that American culture sexualizes the human body to a ridiculous degree. It's a body. Parts is part...

5. Nurse or Hairstylist?

   fasolagrrl replied to sassiebaz's topic in General Students

   I had to laugh at the title. Partly because I've always thought I'd like to be a hairstylist. Actually, I wanted to be a barber. Ever since I heard my sister-in-law talk about how when she was bumming around France she earned money by giving haircuts...

6. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

   fasolagrrl replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

   Yep this is an oldie. A correct fitting bra should be comfortable. And some women find it uncomfortable if their breasts are unsupported. But I think it's ridiculous that women are required to wear them. They shouldn't be exposed in the course of wo...

7. Who went to Fitchburg State College?

   fasolagrrl replied to christvs's topic in Massachusetts

   I'm back. I'm wondering if I should start a new thread or not. The Student Nurses Association at Fitchburg State is looking for an FSC student nurse's uniform from way back when: I think it was a pastel yellow shirtwaist dress with a white apron. We...

8. Does McLean hire new grads?

   fasolagrrl replied to planecrazy's topic in Massachusetts

   I just happened to be reading a New Yorker this morning and saw an ad for 3 East at McLean (DBT residence for young women). I checked McLean's employment site, and there are two jobs advertised, one 16 hour position and one 40 hour position. Both say...

9. Who went to Fitchburg State College?

   fasolagrrl replied to christvs's topic in Massachusetts

   I'm not an alumnus but I will be next year this time. :-) I certainly would love to hear from other Fitchburg State College grads or students, too.

10. Does McLean hire new grads?

    fasolagrrl replied to planecrazy's topic in Massachusetts

    I don't really know anything, I'm going to be a senior in fall. All I can say is that I occasionally do a job search using Monster.com, and I've seen "new grad" jobs offered there in the past. I just did a search now and jobs in general are not plen...

    fasolagrrl replied to Little_Babycatcher's topic in Activism

    Can anyone who has heard Suzanne Gordon speak describe her style? Is she dynamic?

12. Test question, your thoughts?

    fasolagrrl replied to NeuroNP's topic in General Students

    So, what happened with the retake? Curious...

13. How much is too much to pay for school?

    fasolagrrl replied to CNAinNeb's topic in General Students

    I'm not being sarcastic but "too much" is "more than you can afford." If money is a consideration, then you will have to weigh curriculum against pass rate, future debt and earning ability. Can you find out the pass rate for the schools in your state...

14. Test question, your thoughts?

    fasolagrrl replied to NeuroNP's topic in General Students

    Good luck on the test. My experience, having made it almost to the end of junior year (come on summer!), plus all my life experience before me including 15 years experience as a technical writer, is that nursing program test taking is an art, and dec...

15. Nursing Image

    fasolagrrl replied to Little_Babycatcher's topic in Activism

    Yes, I've just read most of Suzanne Gordon's book Nursing Against the Odds and I have to say I have become radicalized. I'm a mid-50's student in a BSN program and I can tell you I had no idea what nurses did before I started back to school to learn ...
