  1. Anyone know how useful Evolve Select is?

    Adenium replied to Adenium's topic in General Students

    Thanks everyone for your replies. It sounds like what I thought - a way to index your books on the computer. And yes, I too work better by reading and taking notes from hard copy books - it may be...

  2. Are Crocs good for Nursing

    Adenium replied to leinad's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Sigh. My cruel mother purposely did NOT pass on any domestic textile skills, as she was so bitter at having them forced upon her along with all the other lovely expectations for women at the time....

  3. Are Crocs good for Nursing

    Adenium replied to leinad's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Oops. Just saw "white Boston." It escaped my poor tired eye.

  4. Are Crocs good for Nursing

    Adenium replied to leinad's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    OK, good. False offended-ness withdrawn, Suesquatch. I too make jokes all the time about being an old granny in my rocking chair before I hit 30, but I sometimes feel the need to stamp out...

  5. Are Crocs good for Nursing

    Adenium replied to leinad's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Hey now, I feel deeply offended. I'd like you to know that I'm sitting here at my desk reading this while freshly showered and shampooed, wrapped cozily in my hand-knitted shawl, contemplating...

  6. Affordable Labwork - Titers and fun stuff

    Adenium posted a topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I'm not holding my breath as this forum is relatively inactive, but I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get my titers/hematocrit drawn for nursing school without draining my poor savings...

  7. FOUND: My Niche... Cardiology!! :)

    Adenium replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've followed your posts as well, and I too am heartened to see you get this job. I'll soon start my post-bachelor's program and then begin working on my ACNP classes while I work as an RN. You're...

  8. Do you get extra work cause your bilingual?

    Adenium replied to CyndieRN2007's topic in General Nursing

    OK, I haven't figured out the quoting-other-posts thing yet, but... I just wanted to say to CyndieRN that I understand where you're coming from - and in your case what you're asking for seems...

  9. Do you get extra work cause your bilingual?

    Adenium replied to CyndieRN2007's topic in General Nursing

    I do applaud the European schools (and more progressive ones here) for promoting the study of other languages from an early age. I think it's great, and I took advantage of that when I got a chance....

  10. Affordable Labwork - Titers and fun stuff

    Adenium replied to Adenium's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Ha ha. Unfortunately, I am creeping towards 30 and am neither married nor a mom. I ended up just forking over my $300 and getting the stuff done thru my doctor's hospital lab branch - there really...

  11. CT Nursing Shortage

    Adenium replied to tanner523's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    From everything I've heard in the news coverage over the last couple of years, it seems to be a long-term problem. But so many schools are ramping up to prep more grads that I too get nervous - it'll...

  12. Support socks bother anyone else?

    Adenium replied to ShyGecko's topic in General Nursing

    Aha. Good point about putting them on early, I hadn't thought of that. I just got a pair of the NurseMates Suppsocks the other day and tried them on shortly after leaving the store. Two hours later,...

  13. OMG.Do Nursing students really practice on eachother??

    Adenium replied to AspiringNurse7's topic in General Nursing

    In most of these cases where you do practice on each other, are you allowed to refuse? Or is there a limit? I just had to get blood drawn yesterday for the first time in a year or so, and it was...

  14. Do you get extra work cause your bilingual?

    Adenium replied to CyndieRN2007's topic in General Nursing

    I think making Spanish classes mandatory would be going a bit far, and would be unfair to nurses who may very well be skilled and trained to work with patients in the official language of the country...

  15. Would short term employment burn a bridge?

    Adenium posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hi, After being in limbo about my potential acceptance to nursing school for a couple months, I finally found out I was waitlisted and admitted for 2009. There's a chance a clinical unit could be...

  16. Affordable Labwork - Titers and fun stuff

    Adenium replied to Adenium's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Yes, I thought community health would be much better - makes sense, right? But they unfortunately use Quest diagnostics which had the highest price quote of all. You're at UConn too, right? I...

  17. nicu nursing and white noise

    Adenium replied to samschwinn's topic in General Nursing

    Not that this is necessarily valid, but your post caught my eye because I was recently reading a book called The Brain that Changes Itself by a Dr. Doidge. It discusses neuroplasticity and each...

  18. Full of anxiety after a year of nursing experience

    Adenium replied to Newbie<3's topic in Nursing Career

    Speaking as someone whose last job was in science-based sales, I think that the pharmaceutical sales arena would be a very very bad place for someone already prone to anxiety and depression. Those...

  19. prev bachelor grads: what was deciding factor?

    Adenium replied to neenja's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I haven't started my program yet, and am choosing a Master's entry because that's what's geographically/financially feasible right now. It seems like the most direct path after my BA in Bio and I'm...

  20. How Crucial to 1st job offers are connections from clinicals?

    Adenium posted a topic in Connecticut Nursing

    The program I'd applied to (UConn's master's entry NP for 2nd degree folks) has filled up for its January 08 class, and is debating adding a new clinical cohort to accommodate some of the waitlist...

  21. How Crucial to 1st job offers are connections from clinicals?

    Adenium replied to Adenium's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Thanks! That's exactly the kind of information I needed to breathe a little easier, assuming most people have the kind of experience you

  22. student nurses pay

    Adenium replied to achapman's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    achapman, I too initially went to salary.com and similar sites when debating if I could swing a career change into nursing. The thing you have to bear in mind, though, is that a lot of these sites...

  23. Learning Thread: Med/Surg

    Adenium replied to RN28MD's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Lest you feel your post was neglected, I'm sure lots of people are aware of this but I for one just learned something new! I didn't realize illness caused other hormonal shifts that would raise...

  24. What are the BEST and WORST States to practice as an NP?

    Adenium replied to Roland's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks psychnurse, it's good to hear some CT NPs speak up! I'm career-changing (hope to be an ACNP or Adult Primary), and the frequent talk about the Northeast not having a nursing shortage or NPs...

  25. WE need more CT nurses or student to sign in. Where are you guys??

    Adenium replied to RN28MD's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Well, I already have a BA in Biology and am hoping to be an ACNP someday. The MbEIN program is designed for 2nd degree folks so I could take the NCLEX after a year's classes and be working as an RN...
