  1. Do nurses support physician assisted suicide?

    Trophywife81 replied to NightOwl0624's topic in General Nursing

    I am all for a "death with dignity". That means different things to different people, so I believe PAS should be an option available to the terminally ill. Death is not always a bad

  2. What to do when on the hit list????

    Trophywife81 replied to brwneyegal's topic in General Nursing

    Not to digress too far away from the point of this thread, but I believe the above statement is true of lots of WOMEN, not just nurses. I am not a nurse yet, but I have seen a lot of similar...

  3. I need major assistance

    Trophywife81 replied to Kay1669's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If you want to primarily focus on bedside care, the ADN (associate degree in nursing) is all you need. There is essentially no difference in the pay for a bedside nurse with an ADN than for a nurse...

    Trophywife81 replied to goldie66's topic in General Nursing

  5. HepB question--continued

    Trophywife81 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Thanks to all who replied to my question about whether or not to get the 3rd dose early....I will hold off until the full 11 weeks have passed; I'll have to miss part of my lecture at school, but it's...

  6. HepB question

    Trophywife81 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Quick question....I am starting nursing school next Monday, and still need to finish up my HepB immunizations. I've had the first two, and was told to wait at least 11 weeks before receiving the 3rd....

  7. Temple College?

    Trophywife81 replied to Trophywife81's topic in Texas Nursing

    Regarding the books: I too purchased all of mine online, though I went through amazon.com. I purchased all NEW books for about $35 less than I would have paid for USED books from the TC...

  8. Am i doing something wrong?? Plaese Help

    Trophywife81 replied to flower2007's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Flowers, many posters here have given you sound advice! My thoughts are probably nothing different from what several others have said, but here is my take: 1. It is none of your sister's...

  9. Temple College?

    Trophywife81 replied to Trophywife81's topic in Texas Nursing

    Oh, and more on the LVN-to-BSN issue...I think it totally depends on where you see yourself in nursing. If you are interested in moving into management or research, a BSN is definitely the way to go,...

  10. Temple College?

    Trophywife81 replied to Trophywife81's topic in Texas Nursing

    I plan to work as an LVN for 1-2 years while I take the RN-prerequisites...then, since I already have a Bachelor's degree, I'm thinking I may enter the alternate-entry MSN program at UT. A lot of...

  11. average age of a new nurse?

    Trophywife81 replied to clemmm78's topic in General Nursing

    I will be 27 when I complete LVN training...but I already have a BA degree. Hope to start an alternate-entry MSN in a few years and have that by age

  12. Austin LPN/LVN job outlook

    Trophywife81 posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi everyone! I've been a regular reader for some time now, and decided it was time to jump in... I'm strongly considering attending school to become an LVN (already accepted, can start in June), but I...

  13. Temple College?

    Trophywife81 replied to Trophywife81's topic in Texas Nursing

    Alia, good for you for getting in the Taylor campus program! I envy you--driving from Austin and putting 100+ miles on my car each day is not something I'm looking forward to. Good

  14. Any Computer Science majors out there?

    Trophywife81 replied to AlisonBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing technical, but I have a BA with a double major in English and history; and a minor in math. Not much you can do with that, so headin' to LVN school next

  15. Temple College?

    Trophywife81 replied to Trophywife81's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks for all the comments, everybody! In reply to the Temple vs. Taylor programs, I applied for both and only got in at the Temple location. The 50-mile one way drive sucks, but it's only for a...

  16. Should I take a job with more opportunity but an unprofessional manager?

    Trophywife81 replied to NurseRotten's topic in General Nursing

    Although I am not a nurse (yet), I come from an education background, which produces its own kind of hell....an unprofessional manager will cause your life to be utterly miserable. I speak from...

    Trophywife81 replied to Trophywife81's topic in Texas Nursing

  18. What LPN schools look at for acceptance

    Trophywife81 replied to DreamyEyes's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I apologize if my comment on "anyone with something between their ears could pass the NET-PN" offended anyone; it was not intentional. I have a bachelor's degree already with a major in English,...

  20. What LPN schools look at for acceptance

    Trophywife81 replied to DreamyEyes's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I will be attending nursing school beginning in June to become an LVN. In my experience, the acceptance wasn't difficult (got in on first try), but there are many hoops to jump through in order to...

  21. Help, Info to lecture high school kids on nursing

    Trophywife81 replied to traumamomtx's topic in General Nursing

    As a former high school teacher, I suggest touching on the topic of how nursing is a great way to "make a difference". Many teenagers do have that sterotypical chip on the shoulder, but underneath...

  22. Do LPNs with bachelor's degrees make more $ ?

    Trophywife81 replied to mikeyk's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Glad to see this thread...I have a BA in English/History, and am going back to school to become an LVN (with pre-reqs and wait lists, it would be over three years before I could be an ADN RN, so the...

  23. Being called "Nurse".

    Trophywife81 replied to PsychRN-Kris's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I look forward to being able to be called "nurse". Also, I don't believe any MD would be offended by being addressed as "Dr. (last name"); why should we be offended to be called "Nurse...

  24. san antonio LPN/LVN pay

    Trophywife81 replied to mel1977's topic in Texas Nursing

    I live in Austin, so I cannot reply with complete authority, however I believe SA hospitals will pay new grad LVNs in the $12-15 dollar range, depending on shift differentials, etc. Wages throughout...
