  1. Engagement/Wedding Ring Question

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Nursing

    Never said I would be working behind a desk. That was an [incorrect] inference. My dream job would be as a nurse at my pediatrician's office -- very little desk work

  2. Engagement/Wedding Ring Question

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Nursing

    I was asking only ​about the specific stone, not about whether I should wear a ring to work or not...just if the stone I'm thinking about will be tough enough to handle

  3. Engagement/Wedding Ring Question

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Nursing

    Rings with bling. They have to be engagement rings/wedding bands (so no cocktail rings just for the fun of it), but your typical run of the mill engagement ring is absolutely

  4. Engagement/Wedding Ring Question

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, no financial strain here. We (my fiance) aren't buying a ring until we can afford it comfortably. I plan on working in an office setting, so I don't think a ring would be an issue. I know for a...

  5. Engagement/Wedding Ring Question

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Nursing

    I'm one of those never take my ring off girls. Always have been. Morganite is a stone that is fairly inexpensive and has a pink/peachy color to it. It's absolutely gorgeous, but it's not that hard...

  6. Is a tablet a good investment for nursing school

    SingDanceRunLife replied to clclc4444's topic in Nursing News

    Personally, I say no. I have all the apps I need on my phone (and who doesn't have a smartphone these days?)...and I bring my laptop to school as well, so having a tablet too would be overkill. As far...

  7. Nursing School Scrubs Nostalgia

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Brian's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My uniform from my first program that I didn't complete was Caribbean blue pants and a white button up tunic with the school's patch on it. I kept it for awhile (when I thought I was going back to the...

  8. Littmann Classic III

    SingDanceRunLife posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Anyone have the new Littmann Classic III? I'm searching for a stethoscope, and I am considering this one. It's brand new, just came out, and IMO, the main reason to get it would be the...

  9. How long is your program?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Wow, that's intense! But from my understanding, and correct me if I'm wrong, in Canada LPN programs are more like American RN programs? We do both clinical (fieldwork in nursing homes/hospitals) and...

  10. Struggling with Micro and Statistics: Do I have a chance at being a nurse?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I did horribly in stats but am doing just fine in nursing school. Don't get discouraged by

  11. Home Health Aide

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Home Health

    I was saying that I as an HHA will be getting paid more than CNAs in my hometown. I moved for school, so I don't know what CNAs get paid in my new city, but I know about where I grew up. I didn't...

  12. Home Health Aide

    SingDanceRunLife posted a topic in Home Health

    Hi guys! I was recruited by a large health care organization to be an HHA. I had applied to nursing assistant positions at one of their hospitals which is how they got my information. They said I...

  13. Where to buy cheap scrubs?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Yeah, I'll get good scrubs when I get my license and a job...you know, when I've got some money

  14. Where to buy cheap scrubs?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I don't want to spend much on scrubs right now because this is a temporary job -- I don't plan on being at it for more than a year at most because in December I'll be done with school and I want to...

  15. Where to buy cheap scrubs?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I found some at Family Dollar :) $8 per top and

  16. Home Health Aide

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Home Health

    Thanks. I wasn't told anything about taking an exam, just showing skills...probably because I did a semester of nursing school already so the requirements are

  17. Where to buy cheap scrubs?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My scrub bottoms that I had for clinical at school are from Walmart. Have no idea what they are, but I really like

  18. First hospital job (pre-nursing student)

    SingDanceRunLife posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a pre-nursing student looking to get into working in a hospital setting for both exposure and experience. This summer, I really want to work as an aide at my local hospital. One of the...

  20. I just got accepted into LPN school!!

    SingDanceRunLife posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I got my acceptance letter for LPN school today! It was from Medgar Evers in NYC for the spring 2015 semester! I was pretty sure I would get in since I'm almost done with my BA in psych and I started...

  21. I just got accepted into LPN school!!

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I got into another school (Trocaire College) and it's going really well. My average is around an 85-87, and I've been told that next semester is way

  22. I just got accepted into LPN school!!

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Not sure I can really help...they didn't tell me any of what you're asking,

  23. How many study hours is equal to one credit.

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Fski's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I personally don't find it necessary to spend 3 hours studying for 1 hour of class time. If I did that, it would mean 36 hours of studying a week, and I do maybe half that (on a good week) and am...

  24. What kind of watch?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to PoodleLover86's topic in General Students

    My watch is a pretty cheap digital one that counts the seconds. All plastic and I really like

  25. Why are we in LPN school?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Creedyfbaby's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm working as hard as I am in school because I want to be a nurse. I want to help heal people and positively impact their lives, and I find nursing very interesting as well. I know I'm in the...
