  4. I've always enjoyed physical fitness and really value taking care of my body. I was a competitive gymnast but in the process of gymnastics ruined my wrist. A few months after having to retire I was...
  5. Hey everyone. I could write a novel on this subject but I'm going to try to be relatively brief and you all are welcome to ask questions as necessary. The Good: -Graduated from Nursing School May 2008...
  6. ^^^Need Advice: Unsure of what job to take... ^^^

    A year in the hospital = not happening. I'm not saying that to be stubborn, but I'm being realistic... I'd rather work at Walmart than in the hospital, so if no one can present some viable options...
  7. Well, I just passed the NCLEX. All I got was a small letter from Pearson-Vue... No framable certificate? No card? No nothing? If that's all there is, then that's kind of lame for $300... Taking...
  8. Nursing Photographer? Also, NCLEX question

  9. Nursing Photographer? Also, NCLEX question

    That's a wonderful service. My hope is to find a paying job, but that's something that I might consider doing in the future as a volunteer, or something that, were I hired on staff at any given...

  11. Should I continue this??

    No prob. And yeah. Nothing has every grossed me out in nursing. I could deal with the poop, blood, sputum, etc. I also gave the most excellent care I could and feigned compassion if only to help...
  12. Should I continue this??

    Virgo, I think everyone in nursing goes through the 'OH MY GOSH I CAN'T DO THIS!!!" phase. When someone like yourself expresses doubts about nursing the typical response is "Keep going! It'll get...
  13. MORE PEOPLE THAT POST THE BETTER! I need statistical data for a project I'm doing on touch-typing, and input from as many people as possible on here could really help me out. You would greatly help...
  14. So here's a little preface to bring you up to date before I ask my question: I'm in my senior year of nursing school and basically... it royally sucks. I hated the last two semesters and I'm already...
  15. ...just indulge me. Lets say I finish nursing school, pass the NCLEX, but never actually go on to work as a nurse. Will I hold the title "RN" for life, or will the title expire? If so, when? If it...
  16. Quick, Easy Question.

  17. Quick, Easy Question.

    What about the RN portion of

  20. First day of clinicals

    Haha... My first clinical I had the nursing instructor that everyone said was hardcore (EVEN THE TEACHERS)... Needless to say it was traumatic. Just try to relax... even though that's probably...
  21. I'm a nursing student, and last semester I was ALWAYS tired and had constant cramps in my back and neck. I finally determined it was my matress, and with the aid of my parents bought a memory foam...
  22. How to tell you have sleep apnea?...

    :-S... I don't have time for all this... Man, I wish I'd have figured out I had a problem prior to nursing school. At least there is a sleep clinic in the hospital where I do my

    Nope, I remember in health assessment that my tonsils were not visible upon
  24. How to tell you have sleep apnea?...

    Thank you :). I was reading about that. I am actually in excellent physical condition though, so it's not obesity. Hm... Also, I was reading about the types of apnea... Mine might be central...
  25. So far, every family member of a CRNA I've met or everything I've associated with CRNAs has sounded like something I want to do. I'm still in school to get my BSN/RN, and I saw my first epidural...
