  1. What was the WORST thing a patient has been brought to ER for?

    phoenix72 replied to SteveNNP's topic in Emergency

    I cried reading these posts but wanted to say "Thank You" to all the wonderful, caring men and women who take care of us in the ER. I could never do it and I thank God for putting you all on Earth....

  2. You Don't Qualify! Try Again Next Year!!

    phoenix72 replied to DarciaMoonz's topic in General Nursing

    I just left my career in HR. She definitely has some good points. She needs to first submit, in writing, what does or does not qualify her for the position. She can then use the information to prove...

  3. Competition . . . Competition . . . Competition!!!

    phoenix72 replied to abrainerd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep! Very scary. I'm up against 600+ for only 50 spots. I'm looking for alternate routes.

  4. Advice needed on choice of schools...please???

    phoenix72 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I live in California where all the schools are impacted. I have only a few options for starting a nursing career. I will outline them below. 1) Go to our City College where ALL pre-reqs must be done...

  5. Advice needed on choice of schools...please???

    phoenix72 replied to phoenix72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry about that, Cal. State Univ. Fresno. I've looked and looked but none of the private schools offer anything other than an RN to BSN. It really sucks.

  6. Advice needed on choice of schools...please???

    phoenix72 replied to phoenix72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Fresno City College is my local CC. I went to the Orientation hosted by the Health Services/Nursing department. I knew the waiting list was long but jeez! I thought we had this nursing shortage...I...

  7. Fresno...Fresno...Fresno

    phoenix72 replied to m_chatelaine's topic in California Nursing

    he,he,he. We tip cows, or make a short drive to Fresno. LOL.

  8. Fresno...Fresno...Fresno

    phoenix72 replied to m_chatelaine's topic in California Nursing

    This is very true. It is crucial to move North of Herndon as another poster said. These are very nice areas. There are some nice looking areas South of Herndon, but they only look nice. I lived in...

    phoenix72 replied to phoenix72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I'll see if I can meet with a Counselor at CSUF tomorrow. It would probably be easier to start at at CSUF if possible. I thought about traveling to another city to go to school but those...

  10. Fresno...Fresno...Fresno

    phoenix72 replied to m_chatelaine's topic in California Nursing

    I think a visit is definitely a wise idea. Fresno or Clovis Community Hospitals are better. I cannot stress enough to try Clovis instead of Fresno, though. We are joined at the hip. I can get to...

  11. Fresno...Fresno...Fresno

    phoenix72 replied to m_chatelaine's topic in California Nursing

    I'm in Fresno, but am not working in a Hospital as I am a Pre-nursing student. Fresno gets a bad wrap but it isn't what they make it out to be. My suggestion, though, live in Clovis. It's a bit...

  12. Suggestions for Holiday CNA gifts?

    phoenix72 replied to Elektra6's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Last year my boss got each of us in her department an ornament that reminded her of us. It was very special and really showed that she took the time to think about us.

  13. Favorite Discovery Health Channel Program

    phoenix72 replied to Markthemalenurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm totally addicted to Discovery Health. I couldn't begin to name my favorite as they are all great for different reasons. I'm very fond of Birth Day and Special Delivery, but also enjoy Critical...

  14. Pinning Ceremony

    phoenix72 replied to Simcharain's topic in General Nursing

    Way back when we used "Hero" by Mariah Carey. I don't care for her but the song was perfect.

  15. How does the Lottery work?

    phoenix72 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi all! I'm a brand new Pre-nursing student and was wondering if you all could help me out. I'm starting my Pre-reqs in January in hopes that I can apply for the Nursing program within a year. I'm...

  16. How does the Lottery work?

    phoenix72 replied to phoenix72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They have a Health Science: RN Program Orientation on Friday that I'm planning to attend. I believe we have them monthly here. I will be there with bells on!!!

  17. How does the Lottery work?

    phoenix72 replied to phoenix72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's very interesting. I'll have to keep that in mind. Luckily, I'm a perfectionist so I always try for the best grades anyway. I appreciate your insight.

  18. How does the Lottery work?

    phoenix72 replied to phoenix72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm trying to do just that but even our Health Sciences counselors are backed up. It's nearly impossible to get in and the regular counselors just direct me back to them. It's so frustrating. I...
