    Ms Kylee replied to Estateboy's topic in General Nursing

    Ms Kylee replied to Hopeful girl's topic in Government, Military

    Easiest way for me to work through it and make sure all of my dates were correct was to keep my resume with me and refer to it when I was going through the form. It didn't take long to do, it just...

  7. How much of your cohort did you "lose"?

    Ms Kylee replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

    We lost a lot all the way up through Sophomore year. Mostly it was because they didn't pass the prereqs. One student in first semester Soph failed Anatomy twice, and was failing Micro and...

  8. What specialty do you want and not want to work in?

    Ms Kylee replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    It is funny how your mind changes after your rotations. After mine, I definitely do not want OB/Peds. A lot of this could be due to my clinical instructor though. But, L&D/Maternity... you can...

  9. Rough night in clinical, feeling discouraged.

    Ms Kylee replied to Superdude87's topic in General Students

  10. Hate being a CNA

    Ms Kylee replied to LadyLeo75's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  12. FINAL SEMESTER!

    Ms Kylee replied to CalRNtoBe2013's topic in General Students

    I'm heading into my final semester as well. There are days that I sit back and wonder how I ever got to this point. When I started part time 5 years ago, this final semester seemed so far off......

  13. Going into Nursing... and the Proverbial Kick in the Butt that got me started

    Ms Kylee posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've wanted to be a nurse since I was five years old. On my first day of Kindergarten, I announced at the dinner table that I wanted to be a Nurse when I grew up. I continued along the path until...

    Ms Kylee posted a topic in General Nursing

    I clutched the phone. "I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies, Kels". "Please, Kylee," she begged. "We want you there". I couldn't say no after that. My sister in law accepted me with no...

    Ms Kylee replied to sonomala's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Ms Kylee replied to Diver Dude's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I read ahead of class, so when it was time for the lecture, things weren't so foreign to me. If I didn't understand it after class, I talked to an LPN friend who could put things into concepts I...

    Ms Kylee replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Nursing

    After I'm done with the Betadine, testing the balloon, and getting the lube on the tube, I ask the patient to cough. This usually results in a drop or two of urine to come out of the urethra, and...

  23. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    Ms Kylee replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
