  1. Discouraged: Is EVERY public USA nursing program impacted?

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to stillpressingon's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in an ADN program, haven't started clinicals yet. Why? The waiting list to start clinicals is....get this.... SPRING 2010!!! No joke. It's really that long. The kicker? Science classes expire...

  2. Would this discourage you?

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to jennifers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree that the science classes should have a time limit before they need to be retaken. I also agree that it's very possible that you don't have to take these classes at an expensive college. I...

  3. Where were u 9/11/01?

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to k_cole21's topic in General Nursing

    I was taking my mother to the airport for a flight to Washington DC the morning of 9/11. She was going to a conference thing for the Vietnam memorial. We heard bits and pieces of what was going on on...

  4. Where are all you SC nurses?

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to RedVaz's topic in General Nursing

    I think it totally depends on the information that you submit with your FAFSA as to how much aid you'll receive. I would think that coming from out-of-state would be a HUGE disadvantage due to the...

  5. Tips on how NOT to appear like a Drug seeker

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to WillowBrook's topic in Emergency

    Wouldn't that be called ENABLING???? I'm still a student, so you're welcome to take this as an unexperienced opinion. Absolutely not. It seems to me that there are FAR more important things that ED...

  6. Suspecting Co-worker of taking drugs

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to zumalong's topic in General Nursing

    Good question, but can you clarify something for me? You said taking narcotics...do you mean you think they're stealing them or do you think they're consuming them on the job? Do they have any...

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to scrmblr's topic in Emergency

    My husband had to see an oral surgeon after the tooth he was having extracted broke off below the gumline. They had their own "OR" suite, scrubbed in, everything...after he woke up (I say "woke up."...

  8. Can you adult nurse if trained in diabilities

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to eiggam's topic in General Nursing

    From what I understand, being an student nurse myself, it IS possible in the United States to switch specialties. Most places, I assume, would want you to go through an orientation prior to working...

  9. Can you adult nurse if trained in diabilities

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to eiggam's topic in General Nursing

    Huh????

  10. CRNA school with children

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to crnastudent1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The lack of consideration that youth have today is absolutely amazing...seriously. Granted, 28 isn't old, but it isn't young, either. Why do kids...yes, avlis, you are a KID...feel as though they have...

  11. Sometimes I hate being the nurse in the family

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

  12. OHNs/CRNAs: help!

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to cookiemonsterrn's topic in General Nursing

    I am a student like you, but it looks like I've spent a little more time on this forum. There is a HUGE wealth of information throughout allnurses.com....ya just gotta look for it. As a fellow...

  13. Never understood nursing

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to PACPhD's topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone noticed that the TITLE of the thread is "Never understood nursing?" I think if the intent was to gain a better understanding, there would have been a different/longer title. "Help me...

  14. A hernia this bad?? Permanent??

    LuvMyGamecocks posted a topic in General Nursing

    I found this thread on another forum...kinda makes me feel dirty to tell you that, like forum adultery or something. I promise my heart is with allnurses.com!!! The people on the other forum are...

  15. A hernia this bad?? Permanent??

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to LuvMyGamecocks's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, it's NOT an urban myth. This was copied and pasted from another forum...a Law Enforcement forum. This was an incident that was observed by one of the LEOs on that forum. There were a...

  16. Best way to deal with rudeness?

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to Gods child's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's what I took out of it. She quickly left the bathroom after my daughter said what she did, and I responded with, "Maybe she's just having a bad day. It's not your fault." But, on the inside, I...

  17. Best way to deal with rudeness?

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to Gods child's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    On the topic of rudeness....my 2 little girls and I took Daddy to dinner for his birthday. Took the 4 yo to the bathroom, where she waited to wash her hands after using the bathroom. The woman she was...

  18. 2nd drug test question..sorry

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to Busy20yo's topic in General Nursing

    If you'll go back to the thread that was closed, you'll see that it was closed because allnurses.com is NOT the place to ask such questions. Like SmilingBluEyes posted, if your brother is the one that...

  19. ER: The dumping place

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in Emergency

    My husband and I were talking about this recently. Not to disagree with you...I'm just offering this. Some of the people that come in with non-emergent complaints are the ones that don't see the value...

  20. What was the WORST thing a patient has been brought to ER for?

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to SteveNNP's topic in Emergency

    Others not in this profession (or like me, studying to be in the profession) probably couldn't understand the morbid curiosity, but keep them

  21. Being a mentally ill nurse.

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to Kiren's topic in General Nursing

    I can't speak for NY, and like Eric said, it's best to contact NY's Board of Nursing for clarification. Having said that, I personally can't imagine a nursing license being given to someone who has...

  22. PLEASE HELP ME>> QUESTION REGARDING BAD GRADES and nursing school.

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to suavis583's topic in General Nursing

    Please don't mistake this post as deragatory, because it is certainly not intended as such. It appears from the way that you worded your post that English might not be your first language, as certain...

  24. Did you make friends in your work place? I mean friends you go out with and stuff

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to Bala Shark's topic in General Nursing

    Not a nurse yet, but I have made some very special friends at the dental lab I manage, to include my boss. He's actually one of the biggest supporters of my return to school!! I used to think it was...

  25. opinions about epidurals

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm with you on this. I think that if we (humans) are given the ability to problem solve, and the result of solving the problem of the pain associated with dental procedures, amputations, childbirth...
