  2. Unemployed for 2 years, No one wants me anymore.

    JTwin replied to lumbarpain's topic in Retired Nurses

    Wow. I've been out of the field for 2 years now, just got laid off from a job training EHR software. I worked as an RN for 2.5 years before that - had a back injury 6 months into the job and pushed...

  3. Why such high new RN turnover?

    JTwin replied to Calder's topic in First Year After Licensure

    To Calder, as KelRN216 said, working as a CNA will help you learn prioritization and time management skills, which are crucial to success as an RN. I worked as a tech while I was in nursing school and...

  4. Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

    JTwin replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    I worked night shift and a lot of us had a PRN for insomnia. As for meds taken at work, I think it depends on the person and how it affects them... when your sympathetic nervous system is in...

    JTwin replied to Kareal's topic in General Students

    Hi :) I completed a female to male transition before I started nursing school and had no difficulty whatsoever, though I imagine it would be more difficult to be going through transition during...

    JTwin replied to tmwhalens's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. I'm a transgender nursing student about to graduate in 2 weeks and I completed my transition (female to male) before I began school. Three of my classmates know -- one had a feeling because she'd...

  9. Tampa/W. Coast Students Roll Call!

    JTwin replied to Nashima's topic in Florida Nursing

    Oh, crap. I do have AHA CPR certification -- that's the card I lost! I wasn't able to find a place that teaches it w/them so I signed up for this Red Cross class... Has anyone asked to see your card,...

  10. Microbiology before A & P I & II

    JTwin replied to hays2001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took AP1 last semester. This semester, I had 3 prereqs left (nutrition, microbio, and AP2) so I'm taking them all together and doing fine... but it was a Hell of a lot easier to understand microbio,...

  13. How do I get started on an accelerated BSN?

    JTwin replied to TellyTelz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Are you taking the prerequisites at the same school? If not, make sure they will be accepted at SUNY. Most (all?) will require you be accepted to the school before applying to a specific college...

  14. Things that make you go... ehhh errmm ack!

    JTwin replied to xt1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't seen any of it in person, but I don't have a problem with the thought of any of it or the sight on TV or a website... but I really don't like the idea of sticking things up where I can't see...

  15. Transgender nursing student!!

    JTwin replied to Rn2bKatie's topic in General Students

    I agree with your point, but I'm not sure that this was the situation. The OP said that until the instructor said something, none of the students had known he was transgender, so not including him...

  16. Transgender nursing student!!

    JTwin replied to Rn2bKatie's topic in General Students

    If he were born with ambiguous genitalia, would you expect him to tell all his patients what's been his legs? If he doesn't, they might think they're being cared for by a guy whose genitals look like...

  17. Dysfunctional patients, families, and visitors

    JTwin replied to mshultz's topic in General Nursing

    I think often people are in denial about the seriousness of their condition and don't want to believe it's bad enough to require the treatment they're refusing. But not understanding why something's...

  20. Pre-Med??

    JTwin replied to Rohan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I switched from pre-med to pre-nursing after having to drop engineering calc in the first semester

  21. Confused....

    JTwin replied to wackyj2000's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My advice is to speak with an advisor. I wanted to do a nursing major and psychology minor but was told to forget psychology -- there's no time for anything else in nursing school. Good

  22. Never thought you'd be a nurse?

    JTwin replied to reese19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Same here. I've been interested in medicine since I was young... used to look through my dad's science books and those books of medicines when I was in elementary school and didn't understand what...
