  1. B-town Ivy Tech Vs Columbus?

    jackson145 replied to Innurse78's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Micro was great at Bloomington. Dr. ******* is an fabulous teacher. She gives extra credit with each test and points for homework which she will answer any questions about. I ended up with an

  2. Smoking And Nurses

    jackson145 replied to ABC054's topic in General Nursing

    That's why I won't make any health habit judgments. I'm the last person with a right to comment on someones else's "fix". I eat when I'm sad, bored, nervous, happy and by golly it shows. I have a...

  3. Smoking And Nurses

    jackson145 replied to ABC054's topic in General Nursing

    I visited a friend's house where they had brought their Grandma home to die of lung CA. She would take her mask off long enough to smoke and put it back on. All the family were sitting around the...

    jackson145 replied to IndyMitchell's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Bloomington also has a 100% pass

  5. Columbus IVY TECH students

    jackson145 replied to IndyMitchell's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I didn't realize the other Ivy Tech's weren't as crowded as Bloomington. We had 700 applicants for Spring '08 and they could only take 10 RN. Of course, you gave have more hospitals, i.e. more...

  6. Why did you pick the nursing school you did?

    jackson145 replied to Mnstn's topic in General Students

    There are only 2 within driving distance. I couldn't afford the BSN, so I picked the CC to get an ASN. I'll probably go back for the BSN after I'm making $

  9. So I took Boards this morning.....

    jackson145 replied to nikkiannette's topic in General Nursing

    Our instructor said you want it to shut off around that #. She said if you are reaching the final questions, you'd better be

  11. Its True about Nurses and Tickets

    jackson145 replied to ScooterNurse's topic in General Nursing

    My husband wouldn't give people a ticket if they could show him they had a library card. He said it spoke well of their character. He also never gave tickets to any veterans. He'd had so many run-ins...

  12. I learned something new this week!

    jackson145 replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    That's a great idea. I'm always forgetting to put my saline bottle in my

  14. nurse

    jackson145 replied to kanny's topic in General Nursing

    We have a cash-only clinic near my home. Because they don't have to employ any billers (they don't take any type of insurance) their costs stay low. They use your income to calculate what they will...

  15. Teas Test

    jackson145 replied to Nervous Nursey2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I heard that there were 4 different test options you could get but I got the same one both times. I worried that my grade wasn't enough right up until I got my acceptance letter. If I didn't worry...

  16. Is your LPN Salary Adequate

    jackson145 replied to agape1's topic in Indiana Nursing

    My husband makes $14/hr at a LTC facility. One HH job he applied for paid $12/hr. We live in the southern part of the state. I think pay is quite a bit higher up north. For our area, it's not a bad...

  17. Teas Test

    jackson145 replied to Nervous Nursey2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most people really loved the guide. I'm not one of them. I bought a guide and 2 on-line practice exams. I thought the guide was way harder than the actual TEAS. I only got a 78% on 1 on-line practice...

  18. more than nursing professionals wearing scrubs

    jackson145 replied to wearingmanyhats's topic in General Nursing

    I think scrubs make it easy to gain weight. At least, for me, they do. They are so roomy and forgiving. When you wear a pair of slacks, you notice even a few pounds. When I'm not at work now, I...

  19. Calling yourself a "nurse"

    jackson145 replied to Jamie2887's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Except in this case, no one was claiming to be a nurse when they weren't. It was just my grandma calling all her caregivers "nurse". She also referred to the female...

  20. Calling yourself a "nurse"

    jackson145 replied to Jamie2887's topic in General Nursing

    I never said that I thought someone who wasn't a nurse should call themselves a nurse. I'm not arguing with any laws. My husband was a cop for 15 years, so I don't advocate breaking any laws. I...

  21. Calling yourself a "nurse"

    jackson145 replied to Jamie2887's topic in General Nursing

    At my place, the nurses don't delegate tasks. They are a seperate department from the techs. The employee who makes the error is the one who answers for it. None of our nurses would want to...

  23. Calling yourself a "nurse"

  24. Calling yourself a "nurse"

    jackson145 replied to Jamie2887's topic in General Nursing

    Dutchgirl I totally agree with you in that you shouldn't call yourself a nurse if you aren't a licensed nurse. I just don't see why nurses get so bent out of shape about a non-medical person calling...

  25. Calling yourself a "nurse"

    jackson145 replied to Jamie2887's topic in General Nursing

    That is what most of this boils down to. Putting someone that is considered inferior in their "place". Some Docs look down on nurses because they have a more extensive education. This apparently...
