  1. Transgender Nursing Student

    bekindtokittens replied to Transgender_n_TN's topic in General Students

    I don't have any advice on what to do, just wanted to offer my support! I do think you made the right choice in switching schools. A Christian school may be legally prohibited from doing anything to...

  2. Grades don't matter!

    bekindtokittens replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    Changed my mind, no post

  3. Grades don't matter!

    bekindtokittens replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the OP was talking about those students who try their hardest and get a C. I think she was talking about the ones who give the minimal required to make the C. Yes, to me, grades matter....

  4. Does anyone have a coupon code for allheart .com?

    bekindtokittens replied to zippidydoula's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Whenever I order something online, I always check retailmenot.com for coupon codes. I usually find one that

  5. Good Brand of white scrubs that are not see-through

    bekindtokittens replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    I had White Swan for last year's clinicals and they pilled up so bad I threw them away on my last clinical day. This year I bought Dickies and Baby Phat. I also tried on Landau, Cherokee, Peaches,...

  6. 3rd semester OB

    bekindtokittens replied to bsugar888's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In my OB rotation (2nd semester), we didn't do a lot either. There was a lot of observing the nurse, who was observing the fetal strips...that did get boring. I saw several births, which was...

  7. Where would you move?

    bekindtokittens replied to Nurse__Mary's topic in General Nursing

    If you prefer to stay in the south, there's always somewhere in North Carolina. You could move to Asheville, which has mountains and an artistic community. Go west and there's Wilmington and...

  8. Question about nursing school

    bekindtokittens replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    My school's cats had fur. I actually refused to participate in lab after my first day with the cat. I just couldn't do it. Lucky for me, lab attendance was not mandatory, so I just studied cat...

  9. Did you make an A in A&P? Help me finish mine too?

    bekindtokittens replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The thing that most helped me get A's in A&P while memorizing all the info was making flashcards with PICTURES. I took pictures in lab, and I also printed out many pictures using google images....

  10. Hand care for nurses

    bekindtokittens replied to OrionQuiltsRN's topic in General Nursing

    I carry a small tube of Eucerin Plus intensive repair hand cream with me and lather up several times a day. This is the only brand of lotion I've found that is not too thick, and it absorbs quickly...

  11. What is your stress relief during nursing school?

    bekindtokittens replied to mzjennx's topic in General Students

    1. Starbucks -- Grande triple shot white mocha, baby! 2. My cats. 3. A beauty day. Highlights, a trim, a pedi, and some waxing. 4. Watching Futurama with my husband. 5. Going for walks at night,...

  12. Question about nursing school

    bekindtokittens replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    My community college uses cadavers for A&P I and II. Like the other posters, the cadavers are already dissected before they get to us. We had tests over the various body systems using the...

  13. Scrub tops that allow room for hips.

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

    Thanks for your reply, Suesquatch. I come across your posts a lot in other threads and I always enjoy what you have to say. I went to a local uniform shop in my area and tried on lots of different...

  14. Scrub tops that allow room for hips.

    bekindtokittens posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    So, I'm 5'7" and wear a size 18/20. I am so tired of having to buy a size or two higher in boxy scrub tops so that they don't bind in my hip area, only to flash the girls every time I bend over...

  15. Anyone else call 'em johnnies?

    bekindtokittens replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in nursing school, and I'd call myself a midwest girl. In school and the facilities I've worked, we called them gowns. And the pads are called "chux", although it took me a few times of hearing...

  16. Are You A Military Wife And In Nursing School?

    bekindtokittens replied to mzjennx's topic in General Students

    Hello, another military wife here, getting ready to start my second year of nursing school. I've been through three deployments and more "away game" events than I can remember. Yeah, it sucks when...

  17. My wife is dreading going back to school

    bekindtokittens replied to acaringhusband's topic in General Nursing

    When I first started reading this post, I thought it might be MY husband on here posting! He knows I spend a lot of time on this site, and how much I'm dreading starting second year too. You're...

  18. Perpetuating the myths

    bekindtokittens replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    Before I started nursing school, I thought everything nurses did was dictated by doctors. Now I know nursing has its own scope of

  19. My Chem teacher is making me doubt myself, and class has not even started

    bekindtokittens replied to msdeannah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't find his comment rude or discouraging. All he knows is what you told him--that you have a challenging course load, and you're also working full time. I know there are lots of people who...

  20. I'm starting to get concerned about salary...

    bekindtokittens replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    Base pay for new grad RNs here in my Colorado town is around

  21. Wait list vs. no wait list

    bekindtokittens replied to JettaDP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is no way I would accumulate that much debt. I was put on the wait list for my local community college, and in the mean time, I took classes that will be needed for my Bachelor's degree....

  22. Why isn't there's a Men's Health NP specialty

    bekindtokittens replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in General Nursing

    Kind of off topic, but this subject was mentioned in the book and the movie The Road To Wellville, by T. Coraghessan Boyle. It's about a "health spa" run by John Kellogg, cereal guru. Hilarious...

  23. How strict is/was your nursing school concerning your appearance?

    bekindtokittens replied to KarynicaRN's topic in General Nursing

    In lecture we wore what we want. (What's the deal with people showing up in pajama bottoms and slippers?) For clinical, we wore all white scrubs. Shoes were to be all white, non-porous, and NO...

  24. Cats + Diabetes

    bekindtokittens replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    Oops, I got on the phone in the middle of posting and missed that link. Great info! I can now feel less guilt when I feed my cats wet food twice a day. They like it so much more than the dry. Both...

  25. Cats + Diabetes

    bekindtokittens replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, my vet, who only treats cats, recommends feeding wet food sparingly because it causes tooth decay. But maybe in cats with diabetes, the benefits of the wet food diet outweighs the risks of...
