  1. Student moms who homeschool

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to studentmom2007's topic in General Students

    Loved K12, used it successfully throughout nursing school. I did end up putting my older kids (15, 12, 9, 7) in charter schools this year (due to my husband's poor health) but I homeschooled all...

  2. Ethel Bauer School of Nursing Phoenix

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to rcidro's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The daycare is horrible. Many of my friends had to go pick up their kids who were not watched properly and they got bitten or hit. In addition, you cannot use the daycare when you are in clinicals,...

  3. Navy Nurse Questions

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to belabelisa's topic in Government, Military

    LOL, I found one of my own answers. Hypothyroidism is only a disqualifier if it is uncontrolled (mine is not) and ADHD is only a disqualification if I'm on meds (or have been within a year)... so,...

  4. Navy Nurse Questions

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to belabelisa's topic in Government, Military

    First of all, I want to thank everyone who participated in this thread. It has been extremely informative and has definitely let me know that I'm making a sane and rational decision. I've kind of...

  5. Ethel Bauer School of Nursing Phoenix

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to rcidro's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Actually, I had the third highest grade in my class and received the Nursing Chair Award of Excellence, the top award the school offers. I've worked in the healthcare field for over 8 years and in...

  6. Ethel Bauer School of Nursing Phoenix

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to rcidro's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am attending UoP right now and I agree, I'm learning a lot. I have friends who are already signed up with Grand Canyon. Technically I believe they don't take the "credits" but there is some sort...

  7. Ethel Bauer School of Nursing Phoenix

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to rcidro's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am aware that the director left for health reasons. However... teachers? All the best teachers have left... In reviewing what teachers are still there, there is only one that I would trust what...

  8. Ethel Bauer Schedule?

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to azmistie's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Let you know ahead of time??? They changed one girl's schedule three times in ONE DAY! Granted, she didn't have kids, but does that make it right? They never understood anything about us having...

  9. Ethel Bauer School of Nursing Phoenix

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to rcidro's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Okay.... now I can post from the perspective of a recent grad... I passed the NCLEX on the first try, as did most of my class. I do not have exact statistics on our particular class and I don't know...

  10. LTC tips please!!!...

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to RNOTODAY's topic in General Nursing

    Like a pp stated, you may be able to do a CNAs job, but the CNA can't do yours. When I was a CNA, I tried to make sure that I did everything I could do so that my nurses could do the things only they...

  11. Nursing Students - Do you work?

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to Renee4christ's topic in Florida Nursing

    Look, if you have to work you have to work... To update from my post above, I am now working full time as an LPN in a pediatric long term care facility. I get home from my 12 hour shifts and...

  12. Scared!!!!!!!

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to jc1207's topic in General Nursing

    I would be more worried if you approached every step withOUT any fear, thinking you were kick-ass, as you put it, all the way through. Overconfidence can lead to as many errors as timidity and...

    Edited because my views have

  14. Apologizing for being "just an LPN"

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to OgopogoLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well, I take my NCLEX-PN on Thursday, and when I finally become an LPN, I will NOT be apologizing for it in the least!!!! I am working full time as a unit secretary right now and I have six kids and...

  15. need some encourgement

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    1) Get some rest! You can't think when you're exhausted. 2) Did your foundations book come with a CD? If so, many of them have NCLEX style questions with rationales that you can practice for each...

  16. Help Please me.

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to macromage's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. She should treat her as her mother, not her patient. My mother was diagnosed with malignant melanoma when I was nine. She was given a 50% chance of living 3 years and a 30% chance of living 5...

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to sarajasmine's topic in General Nursing

    I'd love to get your guys' take on this. I am in nursing school (graduate in October with an RN... take my NCLEX-PN next Thursday) and there is a girl in my class who has the license plate Nrs4Kdz,...

  18. Medical Model vs. Nursing Model...Huh?

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to amanda sue's topic in General Nursing

    Physicians are licensed to make medical diagnoses. A medical diagnosis is specific and related to a pathological disease process. Medical diagnoses are relatively uniform and are treated the same...

  19. breast feeding with nipple sheilds

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to crissrn27's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As a certified breastfeeding counselor I will tell you that I have never once used shields. The risk of the decreased milk supply just isn't worth it to me. I agree with the other posters who...

  20. Providing Medical Care To Child Molesters

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to mammaoftwo's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the other posters who have pointed out that we probably take care of rapists and child molesters on a fairly regular basis.... we just don't know about it because they haven't been...

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to Betty_SPN_KS's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I "cheat"... my husband makes wooden and acrylic pens with Cross refills... very nice to write with and very easy to identify MY pen. My papermates used to get walked away with all the time...

  22. Nursing Students - Do you work?

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to Renee4christ's topic in Florida Nursing

  23. Non-Nurses calling themselves a Nurse

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to sarajasmine's topic in General Nursing

    Petty??? PETTY?? Oh, puh-leeze. We are not saying we have a problem with CMAs. We are saying THEY ARE NOT NURSES. And in many states, it is illegal to say they are. In the rest, it's just...

  24. Are You Being Bullied in the Classroom

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to Jayfa's topic in General Students

    Oh, yeah, I've been put through the wringer. I was told to keep my mouth shut, that no one was interested in what I had to say... I was told that the problem was that I addressed the instructor...

  25. Nurses are Pathetic!!

    Blessed2BeMommy replied to lorster's topic in General Nursing

    You are soooooo right. My favorite nurse in OB was this older nurse named Anne. The day she met me, she gave me a big smile, shook my hand and said, "Hi, My name is Anne... I'm the b!tch" She was...
