  1. EMT Training ?

    lainith replied to DaddyO's topic in General Nursing

    I only WISH that I had thought to go for my EMT or CNA while I was waiting to get into NS. Now it is kind of too late for me to do either because I won't have the time necessary. I think go for

  2. Can't stop thinking about cadaver

    lainith replied to AmericanChai's topic in General Nursing

    Wish we got to check out cadavers in my community college courses. No such

  3. What do you wish for in a break room?

    lainith replied to RNmom08's topic in General Nursing

    Not to sound like a brat but I envy anyone who actually has a break room. I work in a C-store to put myself through school right now and we have no break room. Our breaks, if we ever GET one, are to...

  4. Are labs required for your pre-reqs??

    lainith replied to Carmen29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had lab for ALL of my science classes: Bio, Chem, Microbio, A&P, etc. Not that we did a whole lot in some of them, but we did have them and they were integrated into the scheduling of our

  5. Ethics: Does it bother you when people are in nursing to make money?

    lainith replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    Like many previous posters said... I choose health care because I felt like I had a need and a passion to care for people. I decided to go for my RN as opposed to another direction because of the...

  6. ? about latex gloves....

    lainith replied to CareBayer's topic in General Nursing

    I keep Aveeno cortisone cream (a little tube) in my purse because I run into things like this at my current job sometimes. New soaps, sanitizers, and coming in contact with the powdered gloves at...

  7. Stethoscope for school. Input?

    lainith posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I am wrapping up my pre-reqs this summer and I start NS in August. I already have a stethoscope (Sprague 5 In One Stethoscope from Prestige) which I received as a gift from my uncle who works for the...

  8. Stethoscope for school. Input?

    lainith replied to lainith's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thanks for all the input! I was just thinking about getting something a little nicer but I think I'll wait a while and see if I really think I need it right now. It likely won't be me that buys it so...

  9. Let's wake up this message board!

    lainith replied to RNMom2010's topic in General Nursing

    This board is a little slow but most of us "hang out" in other forums. I personally spend most of the time I am on here in the Student Nursing and General Nursing forums. Who do we have here? I am a...

  10. I got in!!!

    lainith replied to jess1018's topic in General Nursing

  11. Gay male nurse stereotype?

    lainith replied to greygooseuria's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I've never assumed that any of the guys in my courses were gay and I'm fairly certain that none of them are. I have a few male nurse friends and none of them are gay

  12. What NOW???????????

    lainith replied to OLIVIALEN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As for this part of your post... I don't know about where you are but the reason my school can only take a few students (28 will be in my class and that includes me) because we only have a certain...

  13. Need advice about A&P class!

    lainith replied to Carmen29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on the class. Personally, we RARELY did anything worthwhile in our labs. We looked at a couple things and most were optional and not worth points and rarely were for more than just review. You...

  14. Very Discourgaged

    lainith replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It does seem like a long time but then I realized that when I get done with school, the combination of all the years I have put into all my classes will be nearly the same. This is my second year of...

  15. Want to move! Just do not know where.

    lainith replied to ldybug7's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I :redbeathe Indianapolis!!! It's at the top of my list of places I am considering after

  16. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    lainith replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's different because you don't need narcotics to live. You do however need food to live, which is why over-eating is such a difficult addiction to deal with. Alcoholics can still live if they...

  17. Does anybody had seen a nurse with tunnel earrings?

    lainith replied to Hacker-Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    could be! i have tattoos myself, none of which would ever be visible when i am at work. i would never put large gauge holes in my own ears but i'd rather see people with the plugs or tunnels in rather...

  18. Does anybody had seen a nurse with tunnel earrings?

    lainith replied to Hacker-Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Rather see the nurses with the tunnel earrings IN rather than OUT to be honest! I'm not bothered by any of that stuff I guess. As long as people act professional, I could care less what kind of...

  19. Age you will/were graduated?

    lainith replied to sweetiez's topic in General Students

    Will be 29 when I graduate in 2010 with my RN/ADN. I hope to go on to my BSN but am really hoping to get married and start a family still before I hit 30 so we'll see how it all goes. I'm just glad...

  20. What classes should I take for the first session of the summer 2008?

    lainith replied to khuship's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know what you shouldn't take: Chemistry! Haha. I took it over the summer... 6 week course. Class met every single day for four hours a day. I wanted to die by the time it was finally over. I have no...

  21. Frequency of communication from college

    lainith replied to Hotflashn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I already attend the CC I applied to and I rarely get things in the mail from them. All I got in the mail this year in regards to NS was my application to fill out and then my letter of acceptance...

  22. How mant times have you applied?

    lainith replied to MedicalNerd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Twice. The first time I applied I had only ONE of my pre-req classes done and was enrolled in three more. I was not accepted last year and did not expect or want to be in my CC's program until this...

    lainith replied to Gannon1qb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know guys seem to have it a little harder going into this field but we ALL have those worries and more! My best friend is an LPN and he's never complained about feeling out of place in school or...

  24. Do CNA's Make better RN's? HELP!!

    lainith replied to jdarcy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wondered this myself and wanted to get my CNA certification before entering NS but it's just not an option for me now that I finally got in. I looked into taking courses over the summer but found...

  25. Need some reassurances

    lainith replied to lovemeformexox's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have to agree 100% there. Not too many people are going to make a blog to talk about how much they love their job. Every job and every profession has it's high and low points. I have worked as a home...
