    cpkRN replied to 2bJoshRN9788's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    cpkRN replied to angelp71's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    It stinks, but I believe letters do not go out until around Christmas (they said on or around December 20th) . If someone knows that this has changed, please feel free correct me. Such a long wait!...

    cpkRN replied to Iflew's topic in General Nursing

    You just have that "pilot ego!" Kidding... I'm coming off of nearly 8 years as a flight attendant for one of the "Big 6." I'm sorry about your airline. Were you at ATA by chance? I used to commute to...

    cpkRN replied to ForMYdaughter's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    cpkRN replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    Yeah, my quiz yesterday was a bomb and I normally freak out about things like that. Right now, I just don't care. I am sleeping until Sunday. Thank God our Fall break is this Monday and Tuesday so I...

    cpkRN replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    You're not alone, Ms. Intensity . I hope since this thread is a few days old that you are now feeling better. I was going to start my own "advice for the sick student" thread, but you summed it up. I...

    cpkRN replied to cpkRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had a long rant on this poster several pages back. I think it was because we're viewed as the "nanny state" because of all the bad publicity; however, what those who really don't know what they're...

    I was searching around out of boredom and found pictures from an abandoned hospital. One was of the visitors' hours and RULES posted on a wall! Too bad rules like these don't still exist today. I...
