  1. What if I'm only interested in women's health?

    krenee replied to MasonsMommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You absolutely never know. I planned to go into ER nursing, but fell in love with the babies, so now I'm considering NICU (haven't graduated just yet!). I have a friend though, who wanted to do...

  2. Nursing career dilemma-all advice/comments appreciated!

    krenee replied to molliejohns's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think your goal should be to avoid anything bone related but to learn how to overcome your fear. Yes, there are many areas of nursing which are not bone related in any way, but no one can...

  3. I started my first IV last night

    krenee replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you! We don't learn this in nursing school, and I can't decide whether I'm looking forward to it, or dreading it. Both, I think! My preceptorship is in the NICU and for sure I don't think...

  4. again and again

    krenee replied to psySins's topic in General Students

    LOL no, graduation

  5. again and again

    krenee replied to psySins's topic in General Students

    I think "Time of my Life" by David Cook is a good one . . . that's all I can think of off the top of my head

  6. Student sense of entitlement

    krenee replied to kris113's topic in General Nursing

    I am a student, and I wouldn't personally say that I hold myself equal to the staff . . . they are more experience than I am, and technically the patients are THEIR patients, although they are my...

  7. Nursing school help

    krenee replied to jmaier's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I'm not in the Oklahoma City area . . . I'm in Northern Virginia. I was just saying that most hospitals have the info on their website is what I've found. Anyway, I'm not working yet, I have...

  8. Nursing school help

    krenee replied to jmaier's topic in General Nursing

    Most hospitals have this on their website. The hospital I went through does pay for everything, including books, uniforms, etc. It's a good deal!

  9. So my pie notes suck.........

    krenee replied to chicookie's topic in General Nursing

    Well . . . I guess if they are hospitalized there must be some problem? Find something related to their diagnosis would be my advice. Pain is always a good one, for patients who are fatigued due to...

  10. So my pie notes suck.........

    krenee replied to chicookie's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just a student so forgive my ignorance . . . but you are required to write a PIE note when there is no problem? That makes no sense to me. The definition of a pie note is PROBLEM, intervention,...

  11. Burning Question!

    krenee replied to SonicnurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    Edited because, never mind, I read it lobotomy!!! LOL. More coffee, please. Do they even do lobotomies

  12. Do you prefer studying from index cards?

    krenee replied to jbjints's topic in General Students

    Yep, that's my preferred method. So far I've gotten all As with one B in nursing school, graduating in 12 weeks. It's not ALL I do, but it's my favorite. I also do CDs from the textbook & NCLEX...

  13. Am I too old to just be starting?

    krenee replied to Roxy0628's topic in General Students

    Well - so what if it shortens my career? Who needs to be a nurse for 40-freakin' years? IMO 20 years is long enough for anything! I chose to stay home and raise my kids, which is why I'm starting...

  14. Am I too old to just be starting?

    krenee replied to Roxy0628's topic in General Students

    Wow, that's really judgemental. It's not our JOB to be worried about the nursing shortage from this point on. If people can work now, and do a good job, why shouldn't they? There are many options....

  15. Anybody Else Overwhelmed w/this Semester Already??!!!

    krenee replied to anewday's topic in General Students

    Yep, I'm already behind on my reading, have a skills test week after next, as well as an 18 page care plan due week after next (& an exam next week) . . . I feel a bit insane.

  16. NVCC 2nd year RN Clinicals Class of 2009

    krenee replied to mcbrinson7's topic in Virginia Nursing

    LOL he is special, that's why he got to pick his clinical . He kisses up to Ms. F. Thanks for the sympathy, you know what they say, that which does not kill me . .

  17. NVCC 2nd year RN Clinicals Class of 2009

    krenee replied to mcbrinson7's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Or maybe we have 14 clinical days, since it's two days a week :wink2:. We missed last week and she's adding on an hour a week to make it up. LOL yeah either way it's only, what five more weeks?...

  18. NVCC 2nd year RN Clinicals Class of 2009

    krenee replied to mcbrinson7's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Yeah, there's something to be said for that . . . LOL my dh has told me it will be good for me :nuke: but mostly what I feel is that we shouldn't be afraid to ask questions, and we ARE. That's my...

  19. NVCC 2nd year RN Clinicals Class of 2009

    krenee replied to mcbrinson7's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I am hanging in there. The rumors are not false, the instructor has everyone terrified, as she likes it, I think. But I am calm about it (as much as I can be), as I believe she isn't going to fail...

  20. NVCC 2nd year RN Clinicals Class of 2009

    krenee replied to mcbrinson7's topic in Virginia Nursing

    You got 100, awesome! I don't know why they can't just post the grade instead of P or F. Yeah, I'm doing online this semester, it is just too stressful trying to get the kids out the door and to...

  21. NVCC 2nd year RN Clinicals Class of 2009

    krenee replied to mcbrinson7's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I passed also, congrats to you both! I agree, sooooo nice to be done with it! I don't know if graduate programs make you do these like RN programs . . . very stressful. I still say it was a tough...

  22. Politely Refusing to Share Grades

    krenee replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in General Students

    People don't usually ask directly "what did you get", as in the exact grade or number. They usually say "How did you do?" and you can say you did well or not well or whatever you wish to say. It...

  23. NVCC 2nd year RN Clinicals Class of 2009

    krenee replied to mcbrinson7's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Well I sure hope they have them up today. I am more nervous than I have ever been about this one . . . one of the questions really had me stumped. LOL, someone usually e-mails me & lets me know...

  24. The best thing to do

    krenee replied to psySins's topic in General Students

  25. RN-BSN-NP

    krenee replied to Nurse wanna-be's topic in General Students

    I am doing my RN program now (2 year, ADN) and the NP program I'm looking into skips the Bachelor's. It's a 3 year MSN
