  1. 4th day of school, and the instructor hates me...

    Anne36 replied to HorologyGirl's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  4. Should I retake general Bio again?

    Anne36 replied to henri90401's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, dont do it. I went straight into Microbiology and had not had a Bio class since I was 15. I probably had to work a little harder than most but I did get an

  5. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    Anne36 replied to DesertRN2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I still dont see how a vaccine created from last years strain of flu virus can be effective toward the now mutated virus we are seeing this year. Even if it was effective, think about it. How many...

  6. If we had a conservative nurses forum

    Anne36 replied to FLmomof5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Im a conservative Student Nurse, I start LPN school next week. My views are conservative but that does not mean I would automatically vote Republican. I am hoping we have a third party candidate for...

    Anne36 replied to JT0612's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. 2011 OCC ADN Students

    Anne36 replied to whosurdaddy's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Thanks for all the tips, I wish all the Nursing students were as friendly as you are. I have been acquainted with a few over the last year that are not willing to give me the time of day. Some of them...

  10. Pregnant and nursing school... full or part-time?

    Anne36 replied to magn1jes's topic in General Students

    Im confused. Are you in Nursing School right now or are you in pre-req's? I guess it depends on how soon you need to graduate so that you can work. I see you are a first time Mom, so I based on my...

    Anne36 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

  12. A&P Textbook - Should I keep it?

    Anne36 replied to hardierlime's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds like you dont want to keep it. Do you really feel confidant enough in A&P to sell it back? If you do, then go ahead. I am just starting my program next week and got an A in both...

  13. Not staying on top of pain - confusing orders - myths?

    Anne36 replied to Biogirl4's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  15. OCC- possibly a dumb question....

    Anne36 replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Anne36 replied to mammasews's topic in Michigan Nursing

    mamma, did you get pre-approved for the NWLB money? I was so close. Last summer I was finishing up my pre-req that they wont pay for and then the funding got pulled. I was in MI works 2 years ago and...

    Anne36 replied to palmerfive's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Sorry, I cant offer any advice except the unsolicited advice that you think a little bit longer about moving to Michigan. Living near family is nice but many more people have been leaving Michigan and...

    Anne36 replied to mammasews's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Anne36 replied to whosurdaddy's topic in Michigan Nursing
