  1. A&P II Club, 2007

    paccookie replied to CuriousMe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm also starting A&P 2...today! Eeek, time to go to bed. LOL Good luck everyone!

  2. How busy is your unit this Christmas?

    paccookie replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    I work on a 32 bed post-op/ortho floor and we were down to 20 pts last night. We got two admits during the night. The other floors and ICUs were mostly full, but eveyone had a couple of beds. It...

  3. What's your schedule like next semester?

    paccookie replied to DesertRain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My schedule is significantly lighter than fall was! For spring I am taking A&P II and Spanish 1 at my regular school and EMS 121 (2nd in the 3 quarter EMT-I course). That's 7 semester hours and 7...

  4. What job can I get now?

    paccookie replied to bisson's topic in General Nursing

    You can get a job as a unit secretary, registration rep, dietary aid, housekeeping, etc without any additional training/schooling/certification. You may be able to get a job as a nursing assistant...

  5. Time Management Success While Also Caring For Your Kids

    paccookie replied to cdietrich404's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, one thing I forgot. Check into online classes. They might suit your schedule better than a traditional class would.

  6. Time Management Success While Also Caring For Your Kids

    paccookie replied to cdietrich404's topic in General Nursing

    Have you started your pre-reqs? I would start there and see what happens. Take it one class at a time and see how you manage. I started out with one class that I knew I would do well in - English...

  7. Im soooo lost..what do I do next

    paccookie replied to Dreamer528's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you kidding? I am a student at a CC and there is definitely no dumbing down of A&P there. Don't be so quick to dismiss CC courses. Some of our students are much more knowledgable in A&P...

  8. help! My g/f stuck herself...

    paccookie replied to Malloy's topic in General Nursing

    Doesn't the Ryan White Act apply to situations like this? She should have immediately gone to employee health and they should have had the patient tested immediately, as well as drawing some baseline...

  9. What doctors do that bugs you...

    paccookie replied to 33-weeker's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I used a midwife with both of my pregnancies and I would prefer to always use a midwife for both maternity and well-woman care. If I couldn't see a midwife (they are so rare in my area!), I would...

  10. Feeling no support from my husband at all...

    paccookie replied to christvs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Been there, done that, got the friggin' t-shirt! I really feel for you. My best advice is to leave his lazy butt and get on with your life. You've only been married for two years and he's already...

  11. Are we all old???

    paccookie replied to np_wannabe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LMAO!!! Well, I did have a 20 year old waitress tell me that 26 was "over the hill." The old guy sitting at the counter next to me said something like, "well, then, I guess I'm dead." LOL I do...

  12. Just a uniform question

    paccookie replied to SaraO'Hara's topic in General Nursing

    There were a couple of LPN students wearing the dresses instead of pants when they did their clinicals. I think those particular student did so for religious reasons, but I never asked so I don't...

  13. How do you juggle nights and kids?

    paccookie replied to NatalieGRN's topic in General Nursing

    I basically do the same as the other posters. My husband works days, but he's usually home a little after lunch time. I lay down at around 9 and my 2 year old sleeps with me or lays in the bed...

  14. my POOR feet!

    paccookie replied to mel1977's topic in General Nursing

    Have you tried Danskos? They are my favorite.

  15. Future Specialty?

    paccookie replied to walktheline's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't completely decided yet. I have it narrowed down to: Midwifery - nursing first turned my head when my daughter was born in 2000. I had a midwife for both of my babies and I am in awe of the...

  16. forgiveness...

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

    Call the registrar's office and ask. My school has something called Academic Renewal. I took advantage of it when I started back to school last year. I had stupidly quit school in 1999 and didn't...

  17. Breastfeeding at 2 1/2 years???

    paccookie replied to Murse901's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the other posters - stay out of it. This isn't your wife or your child so it's not your business. Confronting your friend about her nursing practices may earn you one less friend. I...

  18. Does anyone work FT and go to school PT

    paccookie replied to lma82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I work at night full time and go to school during the day full time. Two of my classes are online so I don't have to go to those. Until I moved to the night shift, I worked 7-3 and went to class in...

  19. Jobs while in school?

    paccookie replied to ErikaMarie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I work full time as a unit secretary in a hospital. It's a good learning experience, but it's hard to get this sort of job at my hospital. I got lucky. If you can, get your CNA and work at a...

    paccookie replied to tanner523's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    paccookie replied to paccookie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  25. I Hate Scrub Pants!!!

    paccookie replied to todell80's topic in General Students

    My favorite scrub pants are Studio by Cherokee (I think that's their name...). They have a zipper and a tie waist and I LOVE the boot cut legs. I'm short (5'0") and the petite pants fall at the exact...
