  1. How to apply for jobs with probable move

    Thoenix posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I graduate in May with my ADN. I'm very near the top of my class and take advantage of every opportunity for more hands-on experience and to try and learn everything I can. I'm so excited to start...

  2. How to apply for jobs with probable move

    Thoenix replied to Thoenix's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The move will definitely materialize. It's just a matter of which of four locations and which of three different move dates. I haven't even started applying for jobs because of the fact that I...

  3. Any tips for two-person stethoscopes?

    Thoenix posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have blood pressure down pat. I get accurate readings every time--as long as I'm using a single-person stethoscope. I cannot, for the life of me, hear anything on the two person stethoscopes. I'm...

  4. Austin Community College ADN Spring 2020

    Thoenix replied to mariah0418's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey I know it's been a little bit since you posted this but I'm in the fall 2019 class and we just had orientation. Classes are mostly in mornings. Clinicals depend on your sites and are two days a...

  5. Any tips for two-person stethoscopes?

    Thoenix replied to Thoenix's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is really helpful. I really hate the double scopes. Even the really cheap classroom single ones, I can hear fine. I'll watch for the bounce. I know I have the vitals down cold. I know my...

  6. Hep B vaccine requirement.

    Thoenix replied to Bnc1992's topic in General Students

    I'm Canadian and Hep B is a vaccine we get at about 11-13 years old in the province I grew up in. I go to school in the US, but with different countries having different ages for the vaccine, I can...

  7. Fall 2019 Austin Community College ADN applicants (ACC)

    Thoenix replied to Kwalker183's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, go ahead and email her. When she called me she said she was caught up on her student emails so I don't think it would annoy

  8. Recording Lectures?

    Thoenix replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Students

    If you have permission both to a) record and b) use a laptop or tablet in class, I highly recommend the program Sonocent audio notetaker. You can take notes in it that link directly to audio...

    Thoenix replied to Kwalker183's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had those thoughts as well, but I'm sure that they're going to make sure we can go to class and to our clinicals, otherwise they're shooting themselves in the

    Thoenix replied to Kwalker183's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm an immigrant and Castlebranch was giving me troubles as a result so I had called awhile back to clarify what Castlebranch was meant to be doing because they clearly didn't know. I couldn't get a...

    Thoenix replied to Kwalker183's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CEC students should probably be aware that we're running a little behind. The woman in charge of our cohort had to have emergency surgery a little while ago and she's been struggling to get us all...

  12. Roadkill Cuisine Perks and Pitfalls

    Thoenix replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    It's so normal where I grew up. Very north, very rural, very poor. We don't think twice about it at all. I've probably eaten roadkill meat, though I didn't know it at the time. My family hunted in...

  13. Roadkill Cuisine Perks and Pitfalls

    Thoenix replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Police where I grew up had a call list for deer and other largish animals--when people called in to say they'd been in an accident with a critter, or to report an injured/dead deer/bear/whatever, the...

    Same. Now I have to coordinate the TB testing. I'm allergic to everything so I'm expecting to have to do the blood test because I have no doubt that I'll be allergic to a component of the skin test...

  15. Vaccination for clinical

    Thoenix replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    Every single thing you've ever posted is anti-vax. Do you just sit and lurk and wait for years for opportunities to do anti-vax trolling? Is that your only interest?

  16. Vaccination for clinical

    Thoenix replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    I did consider it. You're coming from a place of fear and propaganda. What's 'lots of preservatives'? Do you know why they're there? Do you know the rate of allergic responses? Do you know which...

  17. Vaccination for clinical

    Thoenix replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    People panicking about autism being 'on the rise' never realize that the other issue is recognizing that autistic people can be highly intelligent. The vast majority of new diagnoses are in people...

  18. Vaccination for clinical

    Thoenix replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    @ukgirl7655I feel like you just managed to get me a bingo on 'antivaxxer who doesn't know what she's talking about' bingo. I think you literally hit every single easily disputed myth that I've ever...

  19. Vaccination for clinical

    Thoenix replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    You complain about not having informed consent, well. Honey. If you think all those things are in vaccines in any kind of quantity to do any kind of damage, you're not informed. You're just a...

    Thoenix replied to Kwalker183's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My Nursing Skills I profs said that we could use that on our resumes and that most hospitals in the area will take an ACC NSI in place of a CNA license. Something about being able to challenge the...

    EVC, CEC, RRC for me. I think there are clinicals first semester but I'm not positive. I'm hoping to get a very part time job (a day or two a week) in a hospital while in the

  24. Littman Plum tubing

    Thoenix replied to Thoenix's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thanks for the pricing tip! It's been out of stock locally (they have all the other colours of course) and my friend went to *her* local shop in another country and got me photos that she says are...

  25. Littman Plum tubing

    Thoenix posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    If I get into my nursing program (my odds are very very good but I'm trying not to count chickens before they hatch) I'm going to reward myself with a good quality stethoscope because I'm expected to...
