  1. Student Nursing in Rural Areas

    BSNtobe2009 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm going to be attending a very, very small rural community college in Southwest Virginia in the Spring, hoping for admission to the RN program Fall 2007. There are about 4 area hospitals. None of...

  2. Student Nursing in Rural Areas

    BSNtobe2009 replied to BSNtobe2009's topic in General Students

    Thanks for everyone's comments. The college where I'll be getting my BSN, is affiliated with a medical school and I already e-mailed the Nurse Recruiter (and I have discovered they are very helpful...

  3. Need advice on what to take with A&PI

    BSNtobe2009 replied to RN2bemommyof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you aren't working, or just working part-time...it's completely doable. I would sign up for that

  4. How to pay for LPN or RN school

    BSNtobe2009 replied to nursingis4me's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    i can second this, and speaking as a former lending professional, a default, government student loan will negatively effect your future ability to borrower more than a bankruptcy ever will, and will...

  5. how to deal with a difficult classmate

    BSNtobe2009 replied to shining_star28463's topic in General Students

    If you report it to the Director, she is breaking the LAW by not telling the instructor to allow you to move. You have the right to be educated in a safe environment without fear, and even on a...

  6. permanent bruise?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    I have a red splotch about the size of a quarter on my right thigh. A playmate took a large tree branch and was swinging it and I got hit in my leg. I was about 9. It turned your classic blue and...

  7. Water Births?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I read somewhere a few years ago that some birthing centers have a birthing chair (is there such a thing?). Supposedly, that is the way nature intended for women to give birth..swatting or standing...

  8. Excelsior College Awarded $7.8M in Copyright Lawsuit

    BSNtobe2009 replied to EDTEd's topic in Online Distance Learning

    ATI Testing has the same thing going with a company in Texas. So it will be interesting to see how that plays

  9. Pregnancy Xanax vs Atarax

    BSNtobe2009 replied to greatlordduke's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    No one here can give you medical advice, especially me, b/c I'm not a nurse, but I can give you some common sense advice. When you say "your doctor" do you mean your PCP or your OB-GYN? If it's your...

  10. Need some program advice...

    BSNtobe2009 replied to SafetyLady's topic in Indiana Nursing

    The part-time night/weekend program at a local CC where I am takes 3 years for an ASN. It was designed for LPN's that were full-time workers that needed to get their RN degree. I would go that...

  11. is there a benefit to this?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to lyndsaynicole's topic in Nursing Career

    ASN and BSN pay is usually the same at most hospitals, initially. I'm going the ASN route for my RN and then BSN in a part-time transition program so I can get RN pay while I work. I'm not going to...

  12. how to deal with a difficult classmate

    BSNtobe2009 replied to shining_star28463's topic in General Students

    I think you need to report this to the Director immediately. Not the Instructor...the DIRECTOR. When people start making racial remarks, that is 100% uncalled for. It doesn't matter if EVERYTHING she...

  13. LPN License # go on resume?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Dabuggy's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Isn't a nursing license number public information anyway? If it's available on a website that the public has access too, I would probably go ahead and put it on there, and HR or the Nurse Recruiter...

  14. young LPN

    BSNtobe2009 replied to nursehellokitty04's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have a question...has anyone actually SAID that to you? The reason I am asking is you have given a description of what YOU think people are THINKING about you...but didn't list a single example of...

  15. Resident rude to family members after death/vent

    BSNtobe2009 replied to kate1114's topic in General Nursing

    The doctor may not have heard the last of it. If that had happened to me, I may not have said anything at the time, but when I got home, the Medical Board and the Hospital Administrator would hear...

  16. Excelsior College Awarded $7.8M in Copyright Lawsuit

    BSNtobe2009 replied to EDTEd's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Eric, I'm wondering how they get ahold of that information to start with? Do they hire someone with a Photographic memory to take the NCLEX? (Being serious). I can see with Excelsior where they can...

  17. OMGosh...she wrote me up! Update about the Narcan!

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    Didn't you post earlier where they were going to promote you or something? Isn't this a relatively new job? If that is the case (and if it's not, I'll apologize for my bad memory now), then you have...

  18. Just finished NCLEX-PN...I dunno.....

    BSNtobe2009 replied to pink2blue1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You either did really good or really bad! I'm crossing my

  19. How embarassing (LONG)

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure they will understand. That was a very tense moment, you were frightened, and didn't want spectators. If I was one of the people you screamed at, I probably would have thought, "Yeah, I'm...

  20. Chicken Pox Outbreak in South Arkansas - CDC Investigating

    BSNtobe2009 replied to sirI's topic in General Nursing

    The more they let illegal immigrants into the country, and the more these anti-immunization children of "naturalists" are allowed into the school system, the more this is going to happen....

  21. Night Shift might be killing me

    BSNtobe2009 replied to NICU_3_RN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I think you just answered your own question. When people in the house cannot respect your sleep, you need to change. I think that is the bigger issue moreso than your age. You are severely sleep...

  22. Christmast wish list for pre-nursing students

    BSNtobe2009 replied to TemperStripe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    VISA Gift cards....for your lunches, and other supplies you might need, and to pay for your uniform and other things you need for school. Congratulations on your

  23. i need it urgent

    BSNtobe2009 replied to bonanza's topic in Emergency

    Are you a nurse or a student? Is this for a project? If you are a student, you need to research the internet, and if you are working, you need to get that from your

  24. Christmas Ideas

    BSNtobe2009 replied to mcknis's topic in General Nursing

    I would suggest getting a jump start on your scrub wardrobe, but you'll need to know which hospital you are employed with first to meet their requirements. VISA Gift Cards are great so you won't have...

  25. anyone else struggle with Anxiety?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to lannisz's topic in General Nursing

    I have so much built up tension right now that I think if I was given a sledgehammer and allowed to knock a couple of heads off a few ex-boyfriends...I MIGHT feel better. Right now I'm trying to...
