    MiaKeaRN replied to henryswife's topic in General Nursing

    Hi there, You're not overreacting....I think you're just a little nervous. Every single one of us have been nervous going into nursing school. We may not have worried about the same issues, but I...

  2. anyone have to take HESI at the end of each semester???

    MiaKeaRN replied to wan2banrseNms's topic in General Students

    We don't take HESI but we have to take ATI tests at the end of each semester. We have to achieve a certain level of proficiency and if we don't hit that level then we must go through remediation. To...

    MiaKeaRN replied to christvs's topic in General Nursing

    I went on a medical mission trip this past summer to southern Mexico. It was a life-changing, eye opening experience for all involved. I think my next trip will be somewhere in South America, and...

    MiaKeaRN replied to marie-francoise's topic in General Nursing

    Let's get out of the DARK AGES of nursing, and start moving forward. There are no right or wrong answers/posts here, and everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it is 2007 and I think nursing...

    MiaKeaRN replied to marie-francoise's topic in General Nursing

    I'd probably go work at the bakery or a candy store! Might gain another 20 pounds, but at least it would be

  6. Does anyone think nursing diagnoses are just plain silly?

    MiaKeaRN replied to marie-francoise's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the various nursing organizations should come together and vote. Let's bring nursing out of the dark ages and get some newer ideas in there. Everything changes over time, I have been told...

  7. Does anyone think nursing diagnoses are just plain silly?

    MiaKeaRN replied to marie-francoise's topic in General Nursing

    To me, nursing diagnoses are a way to get students familiar with the entire nursing process. Do I like them, nope!! Does my instructor like them? Nope! Do we have to keep our mouths shut, do them, and...

    MiaKeaRN replied to RN ColbyJack's topic in General Nursing

    The Body Shop has an awesome hand treatment/cream. I think it's just called Hemp Hand Treatment...it comes in a silver tube with a green label on it. I have a horrible time with cracks and bleeding...

  9. I'M A US CITIZEN STUDYING HERE in d PHIL. I NEED HELP!

    MiaKeaRN replied to saint_rafael_RN's topic in International Nursing

  10. Why so many fail out of our program?

    MiaKeaRN replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    I think that most programs run the same way......all tests are geared toward getting students prepared to take and pass the NCLEX test. You can be an A student straight through all your pre-reqs, but...

    There are websites that will help you with nursing diagnoses, but nothing that you can use in place of your own knowledge.....just something to use as a guide. Good

  13. Passing meds you did not pull.

    MiaKeaRN replied to busy-bee's topic in General Nursing

  15. Ever notice this about allnurses?

    MiaKeaRN replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    The people who don't like to see repeat posts/questions don't have to read them. No one is twisting arms or forcing anyone to answer, right? As long as the posters are following the rules of the...

  16. Is age 45 too old to start nursing???

    MiaKeaRN replied to Toots71506's topic in General Nursing

    Hi there. I'm 42 and just started school in August. I'll be 44 when I graduate. Although I am one of the older students in my class, there are quite a few folks in their 50's and one is 60! Good...

  17. Ever notice this about allnurses?

    MiaKeaRN replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree. Personally, I joined AllNurses to feel part of a group....and I love reading all threads. I would never tell someone to go do a search. It's more fun to have some interaction and...

    MiaKeaRN posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

  19. Easiest drug calculation method?

    MiaKeaRN replied to MiaKeaRN's topic in General Students

  21. Have I displayed drug seeking behavior??

    MiaKeaRN replied to elthia's topic in General Nursing

  22. Does anyone use nurses as a side job?

    MiaKeaRN replied to kgard7777's topic in General Nursing

  23. alli ~ diet pill

    MiaKeaRN replied to Keepstanding's topic in General Nursing

  24. Medical Missions

    MiaKeaRN replied to MiaKeaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just sent you a private message. I'm not sure of the rules for posting links to private pages, so that's why I didn't post the photo link here. I'm definitely not a computer "geek"!! LOL

    MiaKeaRN replied to reidesert's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Hi there! I just purchased a Jansport because my last Jansport backpack lasted through several years of abuse. There are other brands that are much more expensive, but the Jansport seemed to do just...
