  1. dealing with cramps

    VIXEN007 replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Students

    Have you tried yoga? There are some poses that are good for relieving pain. Also, calcium supplements help. Ginger tea is good for nausea, which I get sometimes. Last but not least, a pre-emptive...

  2. DID NOT GET IN! Completely devastated...

    VIXEN007 replied to vicky3269's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What other schools are within a 20-25 mile radius of you? Perhaps the more outlying schools might have an opening? Don't give up. Just evaluate, revise and attack! Let us know when you get in! Also,...

  3. Recommend Books on Nursing

    VIXEN007 replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing

    Chicken soups are available on CD. I am not sure about the Chicken soup for nurse's yet. I also liked a book called Nursing in America. This book was based on nursing staff at Memphis

  4. Hospital contract in exchange for tuition

    VIXEN007 replied to betty7321's topic in General Students

    I would rather take my chances on getting a signing bonus than enter into a contract while I am still in school. I am just leery of obligating myself to

  5. I Feel Like A Dummie

    VIXEN007 replied to calcap34's topic in General Nursing

    If you really want to do it, stop listening to people that are not positive. Go to a local bookstore and look at some of the books in the nursing section. See if the material is interesting to you....

  6. Question about the HESI

    VIXEN007 replied to shaggyjo's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Do you mean grammar? There may be some spelling questions on the HESI. Just review the study guide really well and hope for the best. When does the next class at PMI

  7. LPN/RN Rumble

    VIXEN007 replied to BellaItalianaLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes an Osteopath will tell me, "I am just a D.O." I always ask them why do they belittle their hard-earned status? I think people should speak up more. You can whip someone's butt politely and...

  8. LPN/RN Rumble

    VIXEN007 replied to BellaItalianaLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I am in an RN, ASN program. I have a B.S. in something else. I plan to go for an RN, MSN after graduating. I would never treat anyone like that. I would never tell a housekeeper, you are just a...

  9. What is a "titer result"?

    VIXEN007 replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't qualify for the Health Dept. I decided to have the vax, because if my titers were too low, I would have to pay for the vax anyway. They both cost the same, so I possibly saved $90 by...

  10. Just tell me flat out if I am out of luck :)

    VIXEN007 replied to clamaity21's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You need to do some digging and some telephoning. Perhaps you can become an alternate. I do not believe that 100% of the people in your area have a 4.0, did you review their transcripts? Are there...

  11. Re: Potential Employers and your not wanting them to contact previous employers

    VIXEN007 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    You should have asked for a letter of reference. That way you can submit it with each

  12. night shift and dogs

    VIXEN007 replied to adnstudent2007's topic in General Nursing

    My little dogs use a litter

  13. Fake Nails on Nurses, Yay or Nay?

    VIXEN007 replied to Patience's topic in General Nursing

    I think fake nails look nasty. Also, they destroy your nail bed. What ever happened to buffing for shine? That is all I do. I don't like long nails, because stuff gets under them. I do not ever...

  14. Just tell me flat out if I am out of luck :)

    VIXEN007 replied to clamaity21's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You are not out of luck. You need to look at nursing sites in your state. I say look by state because there may be some distance programs available to you. You are only out of luck if you give up! You...

  15. Has anyone tried Turbo Jam?

    VIXEN007 replied to beautifulb's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I like Yoga. Yoga may be available on your TV. I use it to stay flexible, strong and to improve my breathing. I also like the Barre workouts. When I can, I take a ballet class twice per

  16. I got in:)

    VIXEN007 replied to kasia2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know how you feel. I just make a list of everything that I need to get done and obstacles. As the obstacles get removed, I check them off. I have to work while going to NS also. I just pray that it...

  17. Nurse Practioner field going to dissappear!!!

    VIXEN007 replied to bailey2227's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think that is a lot of crap. Maybe NPs won't make $100k, but some other specialties will be cut as well. NPs are going to be in more demand than ever before. There is a shortage of Primary Care docs...

  18. How well is your living status?

    VIXEN007 replied to NoeIssa's topic in General Nursing

    I like what Apostle Paul said about being content no matter what state you are in. If you are never content, no amount of money will help. I vowed long ago to keep the little things dear. Like...

  19. Studying tips for Patho

    VIXEN007 replied to tbrown1's topic in General Students

    I purchased the Path made incredibly easy! I didn't like it much. There is a green path book that is much better. You will need a good AP like the above poster said. I love my Marieb text. I will...

  22. I got in:)

    VIXEN007 replied to kasia2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I start orientation next week. We should start a thread on what we are afraid of before nursing school starts and what we are afraid of

  23. Studying tips for Patho

    VIXEN007 replied to tbrown1's topic in General Students

    Do not skimp on the reading. It is important to keep up with it. I usually outlined the chapters as I read them and filled in notes from the lecture. I also drew lots of pictures so that I could...

  24. starting a nursing career at 55??

    VIXEN007 replied to deb2mirabelle's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto. Everyone will assume that you have been nursing for years. The only thing worse than not going for it would be wishing you had. I say go for it! Carpe

  25. DID NOT GET IN! Completely devastated...

    VIXEN007 replied to vicky3269's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do not give up! This is just one hurdle/obstacle. There has to be another way. Get out a piece of paper and write down all of your options. Some schools may let you take course while waiting for the...
