    Thedreamer replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in General Nursing

    Im the latter born of twins.. my twin brother is the first born of 6.. No ETOH parents though. Ive always been the one holding things together though =/ Interesting

  2. How long did it take you to get into nursing school?

    Thedreamer replied to jewelsg627's topic in General Nursing

    I waited 2.5 years myself. Had enough time to get my entire AS in nursing AND all the extra chem/math/bio id need for a BSN program. I then started an EMT program after I got my AS. I finished that...

  3. Lpn-rn?

    Thedreamer replied to futurennp's topic in Men in Nursing

    More experience on the floor I think. In LPN school youre in the hospital from day one. I am currently in LPN school at the moment. But from what I hear from the higher ups, is that RNs get alot less...

  4. Accelerated BSN Advice

    Thedreamer replied to jspacegirl's topic in General Students

    That was very very good advice. I myself am still in an LPN program but your words are very true to thier mark. Hard work and study is the only way to become a nurse in todays competitive schooling....

  5. Two students caught cheating......

    Thedreamer replied to HyperRNRachel's topic in General Students

    Wow, what to say to this. I worked my hiney off for almost three years to get my AS in nursing and actually GET into a nursing program. My program is very intense in the sense that we are in class 2...

  6. Freaking out about Student loan!

    Thedreamer posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hey guys, I just got into my LPN program. I paid all the classes and books out of the last amount of money I had left from last semesters student loan at another school. At the moment I have not a...

  7. Freaking out about Student loan!

    Thedreamer replied to Thedreamer's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The school I am in is accredited and is one of the better LPN programs here. However the school itself is very small and very selective. We only have 24 people maximum per class, and theres only 125...

  8. Scrubs with style.

    Thedreamer posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey guys, this is a silly question I know. I keep seeing these horribly oversized scrubs or uncomfortable fitting ones. I wanted to know if there was a brand that had some kinda tailored, formed...

  9. Scrubs with style.

    Thedreamer replied to Thedreamer's topic in General Nursing

    If only i were an oriental girl

  10. Generational Gap in nursing?

    Thedreamer replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    The HS my partner teaches at recently started terrorist taking over the school drills.. Kids are told to huddle in a corner far away from the door in case they have guns or bombs :trout: I say, if...

  11. Generational Gap in nursing?

    Thedreamer replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    I think that alot of this does exist but isnt just contained to nursing. Life in general has that rule about older being wiser.. Its not ALWAYS true but its a saying for a reason. It could also be...

  12. Write-Ups & Disciplinary Action

    Thedreamer replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    @ Daytonight, Thanks alot for that clarification. I hope to not have to deal with such things in my future but it seems the odds are that eventually I will. Thanks for the heads

  13. Write-Ups & Disciplinary Action

    Thedreamer replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Wow all these stories make me wonder. If one day in my career, as its highly probable from this thread, I get written up for something unfounded, what can happen to me if i refuse to sign it? Can they...

  14. I got in!!!

    Thedreamer replied to Emery's topic in General Nursing

    Gratz!!!! I got in and was celebrating 2 weeks ago also!! Then I bought my books. Lets put it this way, I already started studying

  15. What makes you nervous about or irritated with a new grad or orientee?

    Thedreamer replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Hey guys, I just want to add my two cents. I myself am a nursing student. I am the type of student that color codes my text books with tabs and high lighters, has alphebetical note cards and I...

  16. Anyone see tonights "ER" Episode?

    Thedreamer replied to RNstudentBrian's topic in Men in Nursing

    Haha all good points. There was ONE male in my class last term besides me. This guy flat out told me it was ok if i am gay, but please not to hit on him. The man was 250lb, and looked like he got...

    Thedreamer replied to Liddle Noodnik's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yea.. I really do think it is, thank you for asking. I never sat down before and thought about it. I love this field

  18. Thank you's - memorable ones you've received?

    Thedreamer replied to Liddle Noodnik's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well so far I have only had one thing that has stuck with me. I have been trying to get into nursing school for 2.5 years already. I was working my first shift at the fire department as an EMT student...

  19. Scrubs with style.

    Thedreamer replied to Thedreamer's topic in General Nursing

    I will look into the dickies!

  20. Thank you's - memorable ones you've received?

    Thedreamer replied to Liddle Noodnik's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I just have to say after the first few pages I had to get my tissue box, and Im smiling, and laughing and crying all at the same time. These stories are amazing. Thank you all for sharing

  21. Computer charting..Uhggg!

    Thedreamer replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    I have yet to use such a device for nursing but we used it For EMT and dear god I hated it.. The PT transport could take 5 minutes and wed still be charting another 20. I am a little scared about...

  22. Anyone see tonights "ER" Episode?

    Thedreamer replied to RNstudentBrian's topic in Men in Nursing

    Hmm I didnt think of it like that :) Thanks a good point. I will confess to being a tad jumpy on things like that. I have been fighting that stereotype since I figured it out in high school. Aside...

  23. Anyone see tonights "ER" Episode?

    Thedreamer replied to RNstudentBrian's topic in Men in Nursing

    Eh.. I am in nursing school. I am male. I am gay. Do I sense the same lame duck stereotype about MURSE that you just labeled homosexual nurses? Cause I am gay Im not tough? I call BS. That in...

  24. Might be a stupid question..

    Thedreamer posted a topic in General Nursing

    I do get cold easily. The scrubs in the hospital aren't going to be warm enough for me. I was wondering if it was generally frowned upon to wear an undershirt thats maybe a 3/4 long sleeve under my...

  25. Anyone in Ft Lauderdale?

    Thedreamer replied to Thedreamer's topic in Florida Nursing

    Honestly I do not know where I will be getting my BSN. I can plan ahead far enough to know how I intend to get one, but the specifics of which school arent on my radar yet. I will most likley do the...
