  1. age ?

    WDWpixieRN replied to disneydiva21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would agree to go the RN route. Don't know if you've checked in to schools in your areas, but it'll probably take longer overall should you decide to go on for an RN eventually. Might as well get...

    WDWpixieRN replied to caribbeanbeauty's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    More tips! More tips! More tips!! These are great!!

  3. No Pharmacology class!!!!

    WDWpixieRN replied to nursekrys's topic in General Students

    That's sometimes easier said than done when you're looking at schools. Not everyone can afford nor qualify for university educations where I believe this is more often taught as a separate course. I...

  4. No Pharmacology class!!!!

    WDWpixieRN replied to nursekrys's topic in General Students

    We don't have this as a separate class either. I don't feel like I know much about the drugs although some have been incorporated with our studies of the systems. I am petrified about the NCLEX and...

  5. "Too smart" to be a nurse

    WDWpixieRN replied to may8755's topic in General Students

    If these folks who are so quick to question your choice of career path are so smart, why aren't THEY in medical school to be doctors? There are also a million people out there who are probably smarter...

    WDWpixieRN replied to disneydiva21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Disneydiva!! Obviously it looks like from our user names that we have something in common!! I lived in Ontario for 15 years prior to moving to the midwest. Was born and raised a CA girl! Just...

    jlcole45: I thank you for your spin on this. I am a 4th semester nursing student and will be graduating in May. I am a career changer and a VERY non-traditional student. I chose this career for a...

    Congrats to you. Life's never easy at its best. I'm sorry you didn't have more supportive fellow employees and hope you great success in your new "specialty"!!

  10. Starting IVs for first time ever in nursing school

    WDWpixieRN replied to may8755's topic in General Students

    Then use this as a learning lesson and motivation for doing the best you can with IVs. You know that extreme nervousness and fright isn't going to help you, so relax as best you can. Review the...

  11. Hospital Scrubs

    WDWpixieRN replied to nicunursem10's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    The hospital where I am currently a tech is getting ready to switch to hospital-required scrubs. Techs will wear one color, RNs another color, and secretaries, and other staff, other colors. The...

  12. Starting IVs for first time ever in nursing school

    WDWpixieRN replied to may8755's topic in General Students

    I had an internship this summer in an ED and had the tremendous opportunity of doing IVs almost daily!! I started out my first 2 days doing almost a dozen IVs and hit them all right off the bat!!...

  13. help!

    WDWpixieRN replied to MarieFutureRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    You know Mommy, what I don't get is how other ppl think they can tell you what you can or can't handle? On top of that, there ARE ppl out there working in NICUs -- thank God -- and what would we do...

  14. Last semester and terrified

    WDWpixieRN replied to NooNieNursie's topic in General Students

    LOL...when I saw the title of your post, I could SO relate!! I am in the 3rd week of my 4th semester. I started the application process online for a position I am interested after I graduate. I...

  15. Starting to get nervous...

    WDWpixieRN replied to beckyvon's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow!! I am in my 4th semester of an ADN program and a friend in class started talking about the NCLEX and absolutely freaking out. I asked what was the WORST that could happen if she didn't pass the...

  16. help!

    WDWpixieRN replied to MarieFutureRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Wow....imagine the world WITHOUT nurses!! Next time he, or a family member, is in the hospital, tell him to try asking his doctor to assist him to a bedpan or help with a meal tray. In my opinion,...

  17. I just need a little encouragement, today...

    WDWpixieRN replied to Mom2Chaos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey all!! I have been fortunate as my CC only wait lists you once the prereqs are met with a minimum "C" average...no competition or doubts about whether you will be accepted. It's just a waiting...

    WDWpixieRN replied to rkrs6673's topic in General Nursing

  19. Is it possible?

    WDWpixieRN replied to rkrs6673's topic in General Nursing

  21. Requested Salary

    WDWpixieRN replied to Ruper's topic in General Nursing

    I understand starting RN rates in the St. Louis area are about $19/hour. That would tell me that rates here at least, are less than the $20 listed by caliotter. KC may be different, but I bet a...

  22. Why did you pick the nursing school you did?

    WDWpixieRN replied to Mnstn's topic in General Students

    Time & money. I have a previous BS in Business and it was suggested by a friend who's a nurse and who I've known for 30+ years that I do this the quickest and cheapest way possible. I was well...

  24. Do most schools have talking mannequins?

    WDWpixieRN replied to TeleNurse2010's topic in General Nursing

    We have one, but I have to agree with Becca -- it's not all "that". While the concept is kind of cool and some of the things the "dummy" does are neat, there's still a lot of room for it working like...

  25. first RN job proving to be a disappointment, tips please...

    WDWpixieRN replied to WIchica0732's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have any answers for you as I am still in school myself, but all I can say is, if you made it through 2 (or 4) years of nursing school, you most likely can make it through the next 6.5 months....
