   fasolagrrl replied to LuvPedsNrsg's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, join. It doesn't hurt, and it might help. It is another avenue for opportunity when you are out of school and in the world of work. I plan to use my membership in the organization as a vehicle to...

2. Why would anyone do the ARMY/NAVY CRNA program?

   fasolagrrl replied to ThePrestige's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

   The military is a very secure existence. You know you will have a job, a place to live, food to eat, medical care, and if you stay in long enough, retirement benefits. Every post/base is a community...

4. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

   fasolagrrl replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

   Yeah, that's what people say. And I'm sure it's true for some. I even think I've had nipple burn on one or two occasions. But the main reason, IMHO, is that American culture sexualizes the human body...

5. Nurse or Hairstylist?

   fasolagrrl replied to sassiebaz's topic in General Students

   I had to laugh at the title. Partly because I've always thought I'd like to be a hairstylist. Actually, I wanted to be a barber. Ever since I heard my sister-in-law talk about how when she was bumming...

6. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

   fasolagrrl replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

   Yep this is an oldie. A correct fitting bra should be comfortable. And some women find it uncomfortable if their breasts are unsupported. But I think it's ridiculous that women are required to wear...

7. Who went to Fitchburg State College?

   fasolagrrl replied to christvs's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

   I'm back. I'm wondering if I should start a new thread or not. The Student Nurses Association at Fitchburg State is looking for an FSC student nurse's uniform from way back when: I think it was a...

8. Does McLean hire new grads?

   fasolagrrl replied to planecrazy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

   I just happened to be reading a New Yorker this morning and saw an ad for 3 East at McLean (DBT residence for young women). I checked McLean's employment site, and there are two jobs advertised, one...

9. Who went to Fitchburg State College?

   fasolagrrl replied to christvs's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

   I'm not an alumnus but I will be next year this time. :-) I certainly would love to hear from other Fitchburg State College grads or students,

10. Does McLean hire new grads?

    fasolagrrl replied to planecrazy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I don't really know anything, I'm going to be a senior in fall. All I can say is that I occasionally do a job search using Monster.com, and I've seen "new grad" jobs offered there in the past. I just...

    Can anyone who has heard Suzanne Gordon speak describe her style? Is she

12. Nursing Image

    fasolagrrl replied to Little_Babycatcher's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes, I've just read most of Suzanne Gordon's book Nursing Against the Odds and I have to say I have become radicalized. I'm a mid-50's student in a BSN program and I can tell you I had no idea what...

    fasolagrrl replied to VickyRN's topic in Holistic

    "I do feel & see energy fields. Say what you will, it is what it is." They just don't

14. Hospice and Palliative Nurse Cert. Exam

    fasolagrrl replied to LadyBugLass's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Ok, I'd like to restart this topic. If anyone has taken this certification exam, how did you prepare? I looked around the HPNA website and didn't see any recommendations for preparation. I am...

15. HESI CD score

    fasolagrrl replied to vanurse08's topic in General Students

    FWiW, I took the mental health/psychiatric nursing HESI CD test and got a 64 or something like that. I took the test the first time before actually studying for the real HESI, to sort of get a...
