I worked as an Office Manager for a small wastewater consulting firm, then an Accounts Payable clerk for a state university, then a Campground Ranger and finally a Biology Technician and General Ranger for the National Park Service. The views while ...

Anywhere but the hospital! I would love community health nursing, public health nursing, or a clinic setting where I can spend time educating patients about their health. Holistics would also be pretty wonderful. I am currently an Allergy/Asthma ...

[h=1]Integrative Reiki for cancer patients: a program evaluation.[/h]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24105356

Many hospitals are employing Therapeutic Touch or Healing Touch practitioners to help their patients. Like Reiki, these are energy based therapies that are of great value to many people. They are proven to reduce stress and pain. Just because you d...

Yikes! Hope our paths never cross. You are clearly in the wrong line of work. [h=1][/h]

Just my initials + 123. Not very creative.

Definitely a matter of attitude and finding your niche. I know from experience that I don't want to work at a hospital as a nurse. I love working in a clinic setting and love all the time I get to spend with my patients teaching them how best to ca...

Getting your CNA and working as one are two different things. Working as a CNA first gives you empathy and compassion for the Aides you will be working with. You will not hesitate to jump in and help them and your working relationships will be all ...

I have recently completed two different clinical rounds at two different hospitals. One hospital we were allowed to do almost everything with the nurse we were assigned to, including passing meds (IV too!) after being checked off on the skill with o...

I clench my teeth a little when I have a hard time hearing BPs. I have suggested to others that they listen for the first loud gush or thump (systolic), then wait for the point at which there is no more sound (diastolic). Other than that, practice,...

It sucks when requirements change. I was in a similar situation. I agree with the poster above. You will do just fine. I took it without studying and scored in the mid to high 90's in both sections. I have a B.S. in Biology and am an LPN. If you...

I buy my textbooks from Textbooks.com, usually at half the price of new books. Then at the end of the semester, I choose the ones I want to keep and sell back the rest. Many of the books they buy back at half the price I bought them for which is of...

I say it happens when it happens and you will deal with it when and however it does. There is no perfect time to start a family because as we know, life is unpredictable. I have been trying to get into school to become an RN since 2006. I just go...

Love my new tops I got from Uniform Advantage. Wide range of styles and prints. I have gotten more complements on these than any other scrubs. I am still looking for GREAT pants! For now I am content with the cargos from Wal-mart.

Not only should you get a rolling bag (I had two) you should use it proudly! It will save your back in the long run. All of my instructors insisted we have one for that very reason. Of course there were the holdouts but by the end of the first sem...

Awesome! Looks like you found something close to what you were looking for as far as pay is concerned. I sent a resume but never heard back. Are you up north or somewhere else?

I am going to apply to UNC in January. Denver School of Nursing seems to always be having problems with accreditation. And to go to CU in Boulder, I'd have to retake a bunch of pre-reqs. So I am banking on getting into UNC! It sucks that it has...

I am in Colorado and have a few PRN and Part time jobs in the works. So far I have been offered between $19-23/hour as a new grad. I became licensed last month. One of these positions is seasonal (immunization clinics), two are in doctors offices a...

I'd like to know where all of these programs are located. They seem few and far between here in Colorado. I started in an LPN program with the expectation that I would be able to bridge to an RN at the same school. Now they are changing the progra...

Personally, I have met many outstanding EMT's and Paramedics. I think that we would all do well to remember that we are on the same team and all serve a purpose in healthcare. No one really outranks everyone else because we all have our specialties...

I work full time and go to school full time. It is possible but I find it to be very taxing. Not much time for anything else. I think you will be fine especially if you are able to do some studying at work. Good luck. Have a great semester.

I'm taking Microbiology (again, I have a bio degree but I took the class over 8 years ago), Human Nutrition, Developmental Psychology, and Intor to Forensics (for fun). I am also thinking of taking A&P I, online.
