    Keely-FutureRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Keely-FutureRN replied to sharann's topic in Nursing Humor

    Keely-FutureRN replied to babynurse223's topic in General Nursing

  14. Maybe nursing isn't for me

    Keely-FutureRN replied to Keely-FutureRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  20. How flexible is a CNA job?

    Keely-FutureRN replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    You can work PRN which leaves you with a flexible schedule, but not a guarantee of hours.

  21. You caught Cheaters... what would you do or have you done?

    Keely-FutureRN replied to SummerGarden's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would definitely turn them in. It's not fair that some of us are working our little butts off trying to do it honestly. Plus, what if you didn't and later down the road you end up in the hospital...

  22. Should I worry that I received a C in Anatomy?

    Keely-FutureRN replied to lavanda's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school, the nursing program is very competitive and they stress getting A's and B's. It's okay that you got a C in anatomy. You are not making a habit of it and from what I've read are a good...

    Keely-FutureRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked on te floor, all the CNA's had to offer the pts. backrubs. I'd heat the lotion up for about 10 sec. in the microwave so I wasen't rubbing cold goo all over their back. I didn't always...
