  1. Planning to request an application error. To add my previous transcript with 3 C grades?

    kakamegamama replied to aria1994's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your application for nursing programs should include a request for transcripts of previous courses, or at the least, you need to have those available when you meet with an advisor. Often the courses...

  2. What does MDBON ask on ATT/NCLEX??

    kakamegamama replied to mygarnet's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    The BON website should tell you ....or, the NCLEX application itself

  3. Disorderly Conduct

    kakamegamama replied to DmcEnlightened's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    It would probably depend on the state in which you live. Read your state's Board of Nursing site and see what they

  4. Are For Profit Schools really BAD?

    kakamegamama replied to Schneid1's topic in General Nursing

    I wish you the best in whatever choice you make. However, the "ripe old age" of 40? Why, you're still a spring chicken!!! Thanks for the chuckle on this otherwise sobering

  5. Sunday Service and Weekend shift

    kakamegamama replied to gigglebotRN's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Jesus Himself healed on the Sabbath. If we are free in Christ, we are free indeed. What I mean by that is, we can still serve and worship God, through the freedom we have in Christ, as we work on a...

  6. Pharmacology

    kakamegamama replied to KSjo88's topic in General Students

    Have you met individually with the instructor? Meet with her first, follow the chain of command if there is no improvement. Don't speculate about the reason for failure, but talking to her will help...

  7. Probation help

    kakamegamama replied to Mike1256's topic in General Nursing

    What does your school's policy say? It would be wise to discuss with an advisor or your program's director/someone with the program who

  8. No rehire !!!!!!!!!!

    kakamegamama replied to Yorker's topic in General Nursing

    Texas is a work at will state also...they don't have to have a reason,

  9. MSN Education vs. NP

    kakamegamama replied to drsrn's topic in Post Graduate Students

    How exciting! The best to you! (I'm a "late bloomer" myself with regards to my NP). As to your question--what do YOU enjoy the most? Helping others learn? Being able to problem...

  10. Finding clinical sites for FNP or WHNP

    kakamegamama replied to SMY17's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not sure about finding clinical sites in your area. But, I went to a program in which I had to find my own sites, and that was HARD! So, I suggest you go ahead and begin that process before you...

  11. Which field of nursing is the most technically hard?

    kakamegamama replied to Guest878640's topic in General Nursing

    Most, if not all areas of nursing require continuing education. Actually, it's the states' boards of nursing that require that, not the areas of nursing per se. Some do require extra CE, but not...

  12. DNP should be the Minimum Entry Practice

    kakamegamama replied to nqe9650's topic in General Nursing

    Demonstrations of competency will answer your concerns, I believe. The level/method of education does not necessarily mean that a provider is competent......the ability to successfully take the...

  13. BSN straight to NP or gain work experience

    kakamegamama replied to clint.parsch's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your service. And, thanks to your family as well. As the other poster said, there are many threads on this subject. Personally, I would get bedside experience (which I did) before...

  14. Credentials

    kakamegamama replied to RN.on.the.move's topic in General Nursing

    You cannot legally call yourself a nurse until you pass the boards, whether it's LPN or RN. To call oneself a nurse without that is illegal and one can get into a lot of trouble. Check your state's...

  15. Advice on comfortable shoes

    kakamegamama replied to marlena.erika's topic in General Nursing

    Check out Finn Comfort shoes. They have replaceable insoles, and I wear them due to plantar fascitis and heel spurs. I'm also wearing a pair from Orthotic, which are made for plantar f. feet. They...

  16. Does anyone else ever envy their patients?

    kakamegamama replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    OP====I think you need to go on vacation. Then you can experience what you thing your patients seem to

  17. Does anyone else ever envy their patients?

    kakamegamama replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Pixierose---I'm so sorry about your mom's illness. My thoughts and prayers are with you both in the days

  18. Being called a baby nurse

    kakamegamama replied to NurseA1987's topic in General Nursing

    This is true. Life is too short to be offended by a label. I wonder if the OP has some confidence issues of her/his own ability that perhaps a nerve was struck when told they were a "baby nurse"....

  19. Please help, this is complicated.

    kakamegamama replied to Cruella de ville's topic in General Nursing

    When you are ready for a grief support group, if ever, you will know. Sometimes even that needs to wait as you "nurse your own wounds" before you are ready to open them up to others. God

  20. Please help, this is complicated.

    kakamegamama replied to Cruella de ville's topic in General Nursing

    You are so right about us trying to put grief away too quickly. I realized in my own widow journey that it was a taskmaster unlike no other that I had to walk with for a season. I remember the day I...

  21. Please help, this is complicated.

    kakamegamama replied to Cruella de ville's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, I am so very sorry for your loss. I know how devastating that is, as my own first husband died unexpectedly. You are NOT responsible for how your coworkers respond to you. THEY are....

  22. Christian Nurses

    kakamegamama replied to HannahMarine30's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    HannahMarine30--congrats on the job! May the Lord give you clarity of thought and understanding as you take the NCLEX tomorrow. Thank you for your service to our country. Thank you to your husband...

  23. Patient complaint-freaking out!

    kakamegamama replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry you're going through this and wish you the best. You mentioned that the patient's daughter is also a nurse. Have you considered the possibility that she may also be a member of this...

  24. AEDs in the Wild?

    kakamegamama replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone have statistics for the neuro health of a post-AED patient? Just curious. I would think the further away from civilization, the less the chance of survival for MI patients, and possibly...

  25. I need advice!

    kakamegamama replied to jtanga's topic in General Nursing

    What do you really want to do? Being an NP is more stressful than bedside nursing. You are responsible, on YOUR license, for appropriately diagnosing, planning care, prescribing, etc. for each...
