  1. Going back to school

    Most likely very possible but you need to check out the school(s) you plan to attend. My college system (consisting of three community colleges within a 2 hour radius of here) has one campus that...
  2. under the influence at work/sleeping on the job

    I read complaints on these forums about co-workers all the time and I just can't believe the stuff that is tolerated. From sleeping, chatting and texting on cell phones, hiding in break rooms, surfing...
  3. I don't make enough money for what I do but... I'm not a nurse yet so who knows if this theme will continue or
  4. Being an ADVOCATE for a less than helpful coworker

    Brilliant. Sounds like a scheme that I would have cooked up. Maybe she'll take it as a hint that her laziness isn't going to be tolerated and if she has a real injury that someone will let the rest of...
  5. Coloring books for A&P

    The Anatomy AND Physiology ones have diagrams and pictures of the pathological parts of A & P. I found mine to be pretty
  6. Okay... so I might be crazy...

    :) Wish you lots of luck! I had to take Chem before I could take my A&P class. You're very lucky that you can take so many classes at once. I dearly wish that I only had to focus on school and no...
  7. What would you do?

    There's a lot to weigh out when you're considering more than one position. The best thing that I can do is just sit down and write out a list of the pros and cons of each job and decide how important...
  8. Freaking out just a little...

    Try not to worry too much until you have it checked. Like the PP said, a "positive" test result will not set you
  9. fear of vomit?

    I'm much more bothered by myself vomiting than others. The only thing about throwing up that makes me kinda queasy is the sound!
  10. What would you do?

    If you feel strongly about one, take that one. But if you're open to both positions, I'd DEFINITELY choose the one with the better schedule! There's something to be said about a nice work schedule but...
  11. Do you have to buy a stethoscope?

    We have to get a "lab kit" that has a steth in it but I decided that I want to have a big advantage of having a nicer one so I am buying another one. I'll end up having three when it's all said and...
  12. Not accepted... Wait! Accepted!!

    Isn't it funny how a disappointment makes a reward just THAT much sweeter? Congratulations and good luck!
  13. taking the RN boards

    I suggest you make an appointment for a massage and read your NCLEX flash cards while you get it!
  14. Leave your high stress career for....nursing!

    Interested to know what sort of high stress job that someone would leave in order to make their new career in nursing pale in comparison. I think I'm pretty much moving laterally in that aspect.....
  15. Discussing bodily fuctions at lunch,.

    No discussion will really keep me from eating my meal. I already bother all the people at my current place of employment when I chatter away about what I did in lab or what I saw at school, etc. I had...
  16. is the advisor right?

    For my sake I hope it's not true. I study ALL the time and am barely passing my A&PII class right now. I feel like I know the material in class and then when it comes to test time, the questions...
  17. dry hands

    I have tried just about everything possible for my dry skin. I rejoiced when I found a cure for my chapped and dry lips but just couldn't find anything good enough to keep my hands and sky from being...
  18. Which classes would benefit?

    How in the world does your ADN program not include pharmacology?!? If it isn't included then by ALL MEANS, take
  19. Controversial Job Offer

    I'm really fascinated by this post. I guess it never really occurred to me that someone has to be a nurse there... I know there are a lot of reasons why a woman would have an abortion but I feel like...
  20. Do Cheaters Annoy You?

    Brilliant.
  21. Do Cheaters Annoy You?

    :yeahthat: I guess I probably wouldn't say anything about cheaters unless I caught someone cheating off of me. Then, GAME
  22. Eww white uniforms??

    Sometimes I really wonder if they do this on purpose. Our uniforms are completely white but we have patches sewn on the arms so they can't be bleached either. I am a total slob/klutz/accident-prone...
  23. the RN's appearance

    I work partially in food service right now and was told that we are not to chew gum at work because of the possibility of the gum chewing leading to saliva going places it shouldn't (on the food, on...
  24. Male nursing students can do assessments on the women?

    I don't understand why this whole male/female thing is such an issue. I'm just as embarrassed about having a male do an in-class assessment of me as I am having a female! Same goes for being a...
  25. Disturbance During Lunch/Break

    Maybe I just feel this way now because I am in NS but I can't imagine walking up to an employee outside of the hospital or clinic to ask them something medically related. I see my GP, my chiropractor,...
