  1. Stupid med error

    LauraLou replied to Nurse4God's topic in General Nursing

    As a Christian, you know that none of us are perfect. God forgives our mistakes, our sins, our imperfections. If God can forgive you, surely you can do no less than to forgive yourself. Do not let...

  2. Do you believe in a "calling" to nursing?

    LauraLou replied to alphafe's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely a calling. I had somewhat of a life crisis and was reassessing what I wanted out of life. My therapist suggested taking art classes, my mother said I should join the Junior League and my...

    LauraLou replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    LauraLou replied to a_clay's topic in General Students

    I took English 101 online last spring thru Dallas Telecollege and got an A. I have spoken with people who took the class on campus and the online version seems to be easier. We had to write 5 essays...

  5. Do Nurses Need Chemistry Education?

    LauraLou replied to Dr. O's topic in General Nursing

    We were not required to take chemistry for the ADN program, but I took a semester of Chem with the thought of getting a BSN someday. To be honest, the chemistry I learned in my A&P and Micro...

  6. didn't get accepted!

    LauraLou replied to marelle's topic in General Nursing

    It has gotten so difficult to get into nursing school. In Dallas, the January ADN program only accepted people with a 3.77 GPA who had completed all the pre-req's and co-req's. A year ago, you could...

    LauraLou replied to iceNICUnurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I just read an article today in Nursing 2003 about the Norwalk virus. It said the virus was a self-limiting, acute virus that occurs 1 to 2 days after someone consumes contaiminated food or water or...

  8. Prereqs 7 years ago

    LauraLou replied to tjello's topic in General Students

    I agree, you should check with the college you want to attend. My school requires science and math pre-req's to have been completed in the last five years. Anything older than that and you have to...

  9. getting payed for clinicals???

    LauraLou replied to KrisRNwannabe's topic in General Students

    There are a lot of hospitals that will pay for your degree if you agree to work for them after you graduate. Usually one year of work for each year of school they paid for. You also work for them...

  10. Hair style poll: Long or short?

    LauraLou replied to S.N. Visit's topic in General Students

    My hair is past my shoulders, but was layered around my face. I have spent the last year growing out the sides so they can be pulled back into a ponytail without little pieces falling out. I have...

  11. Nursing in Arizona

    LauraLou replied to Rocknurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You mentioned you are looking at Arizona and Georgia. I have lived in both Phoenix and Atlanta, so perhaps I can compare the two for you. Phoenix is beautiful in the winter, never really gets cold....

  12. National Honors Society???

    LauraLou replied to 2005 Nurse's topic in General Students

    I also just got an invitation to join Phi Theta Kappa, only our chapter requires a 3.5 GPA. It is $75 to join, but they say you get access to some good scholarships. I think someone posted a message...

  13. Elderly patients: First name or Mr/Mrs?

    LauraLou replied to laurasc's topic in General Nursing

    I was raised to always call people Mr. or Mrs. I still use Mr. or Mrs. when speaking to people who are older than me, both at work and in my personal life. I think it is very disrespectful to call...

  14. So discouraged over A&P, ready to give up nursing plans

    LauraLou replied to evi's topic in General Students

    I have a Masters degree in information science. That said, AP I is the hardest class I have ever taken. When I saw the amount of material to be memorized, I thought I would never be able to do it....
