  1. Background check/drug screen before clinicals

    ms mimi replied to RANCH GIRL's topic in General Students

    yes my school drug tests, and we have to have fingerprints done before we can go into any clinical facility. i am glad they are drug testing because i wouldn't want a drug user as my nurse, they dont...

    ms mimi replied to crzmomof3boys's topic in General Nursing

    i am not working 12 hr shifts yet, but for clinicals the old althletic shoes were not cutting it. they hurt my feet, so i looked around and talked to some nurses and i found SAS shoes. they might be a...

  3. OMG! Allnurses withdrawal!

    ms mimi replied to LanaBanana's topic in General Nursing

  4. nursing school and being a stay at home mom

    ms mimi replied to AmericanChai's topic in General Students

    When i took my pre-reqs i could schedule them around my son, but in nursing school the schedule is not very flexible. You will have to work your life around nursing school and clinicals. So i would...

  5. do you read everything?

    ms mimi replied to guest64485's topic in General Students

    YESSS!! i read every little reading assignment that there was and i got 9 points away from an A! talk about total frustration. nursing school is pretty much reading, that is the majority of your time...

  6. What to do before classes start?

    ms mimi replied to midcom's topic in General Students

    i totally agree with the last post!! your break is a great time to catch up on "you" time: house, family, and freinds. use this time now before the craziness starts. i had the greatest intentions to...

  7. Still Breastfeeding

    ms mimi replied to tigress_8207's topic in General Nursing

    i breastfed my child until he was about 2 1/2. you just have to say no and stick to it. i know that it is a great time for mother/child bonding but once you make the resolve to stop your child will...

  8. Tucson PCC Students~

    ms mimi replied to cardiacRN2006's topic in Arizona Nursing

    yes she stepped down, and somebody said that it would be a 4th semester instructor taking over. what i want to know is will this change things in any way. i also know somebody that is starting in fall...

  9. Day Shift vs. Night Shift

    ms mimi replied to RNtugladimurnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    i wonder what shift i will work when i get out of school. i hate the night shift; worked it for a few months, thought i would die. but i dont think i can work day shift because during my son's summer...

  10. Do you think I'm overreacting?

    ms mimi replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    don't listen to your tutor, you made the decision to pursue nursing and you are an adult. i don't know if there is a specific type of person that is "right" for nursing. if you go thru school and...

  11. failed nursing student

    ms mimi replied to Maisie's topic in General Nursing

    i am so sorry to hear that; keep your head up and your options open. the other term for unit secretary is UA-unit assistant. try that or PCT-patient care tech.

  12. Hep B Vaccine for Program.

    ms mimi replied to mingez's topic in General Nursing

    i think that part of the reason that the waiver is there has to do with the fact that it takes awhile to complete the Hep. B series. you take the first 2 shots close together but have to wait about 6...

    ms mimi replied to pattycakebaby's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  14. Nursing school with a GED.

    ms mimi replied to desireef's topic in General Nursing

  15. RN to MD

    ms mimi replied to tatty's topic in General Nursing

    the university where i live lets you get into their med-school if you have 30 units of upper division courses (almost a bachelors) and take m-cat. they do not require that you have your bachelors, and...

  16. Violent Sex Offender on our unit (long)...

    ms mimi replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    i have to agree with this. it just seems like these people don't ever quit, and because they serve so little time (if any at all) they just go back to doing it again and again. i dont know what it...

  17. Do you have a diagnosis of mental illness?

    ms mimi replied to LadyBugLass's topic in General Nursing

    my dad has bi-polar disorder. he wasn't diagnosed until he suffered a severe car accident 12 yrs ago. he has used drugs/alcohol for most of his adult life, and now i think it is because he was trying...

  19. I need to be educated!

    ms mimi replied to cyb's topic in General Nursing

    i am not sure if this is what you meant? but everybody has the same receptor sites in their body: opioid, nicotinic, and muscarinic receptors. but there is a theory that states that the reward center...

  20. Things You Do In Nursing School

    ms mimi replied to jturpin4's topic in General Students

    ms mimi replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    talk to the NM or security, or someone. tell them the situation, just let somebody know what is going on. dont keep quiet. wouldn't that be horrible if something were to happen and you look back and...

    ms mimi replied to iheartnursing_cali's topic in General Nursing

  23. What do you look for in a nursing school?

    ms mimi replied to jimd59's topic in General Nursing

    the community college ADN program that i go to has one of the best records for putting out competent clinical RN's. but with that comes a 3 semester wait list (that should give you time to finish...
