  1. What to wear to a job interview

    Dottie78 replied to algebra_demystified's topic in General Nursing

    As a pre-nursing student, I have always wondered about this as well. When interviewing for a nursing position, what do you wear? I didn't think scrubs would be appropriate for an interview, but I...

  2. should I cut my hair?

    Dottie78 replied to picurn10's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I had my hair long for quite some time (down to the middle of my back), then I cut it into a stacked bob, and I absolutely LOVE it! It depends on the person and what their personal preference is, but...

  3. How do I pay my bills?

    Dottie78 replied to PLM311's topic in General Nursing

    I am also in the same dilemma as the OP, except I'm married with 2 children. I created a new thread inquiring about government assistance in San Antonio, TX. Does anyone know of any kind of...

  4. Government Assistance Programs in San Antonio, TX?

    Dottie78 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From reading the previous thread "How Do I Pay My Bills?" actually prompted me to start this one, because I have the exact dilemma as the poster from that thread -- "HOW am I going to pay my bills???"...

  5. Evening shift and BAD eating habits!

    Dottie78 replied to RNcDreams's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but my mom who was an LVN for 15+ years worked 3-11 shift and ate when she got home. She says that's how she gained all her weight! She said she was too busy to eat at work, and...

  6. Guys: Just Curious - Need Your Opinions

    Dottie78 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hello, I'm a female and not in nursing school yet, but just completed my pre-reqs. I'm a little curious about something, and I would like your opinion. In one of my pre-req classes, I overheard a guy...

  7. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    Dottie78 replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    Oh my gosh, did I read this right? Now I don't want to judge the OP, but it seems like he/she may be giving off that vibe and maybe that's why the other students stay away. Also, people don't go to...

  8. I can't wait until...

    Dottie78 replied to NurseBettyICU's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm there with ya! Can't wait to quit my office job, until I can wear scrubs and comfy shoes as opposed to dressing up with heels...and until I can call myself a nursing student. And after that, I...

  9. Guys: Just Curious - Need Your Opinions

    Dottie78 replied to Dottie78's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Excuse me, but that was awfully rude of you, and I did not appreciate that at all! I am NOT an idiot and you were not there in class with me to hear all these comments this student made, as that was...

  10. In San Antonio, TX...Galen or Baptist?

    Dottie78 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hi all! I'm from San Antonio, TX, and just made the decision to go for L.V.N., after juggling with the idea of going to school for either surgical tech or L.V.N., since I have come to the realization...

  11. weird situation

    Dottie78 replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry this had to happen to you this way, but I would leave early if I were you. If you stay, it might make things worse and you'll continue to be miserable. Like everyone else says, screw...

  12. Patient with maggots in head

    Dottie78 replied to RD_Congo's topic in General Nursing

    WOW!! That gave me the chills!!! Did not make me sick, but really made my skin crawl! Poor kid...how could his parents let a wound like that go for so long and get that

  13. Pregnant and not know it?

    Dottie78 replied to ToxicShock's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard a couple of similar stories, even one from my aunt. When she was pregnant with her first, she said she didn't know until she was 6 months along (until she felt the baby move)! Maybe it is...

  14. $31,500...is that too much for a lpn program?

    Dottie78 replied to trixiemunson's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    The school that I may be applying to for LVN costs about $13K, and that's a private institution, but I've heard the cc here in San Antonio is less that $10K! I know it depends on where you are...

    Dottie78 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all! I'm pre-nursing and have completed all my pre-reqs for NS, and right now patiently waiting for my husband to graduate in Dec. so I can hopefully start NS soon after. Anyway, my hubby and I got...

  16. Husband Trying to Discourage Me from Nursing

    Dottie78 replied to Dottie78's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all so much for your replies and advice. While I'm still upset about the negative things my husband said, I can also understand his point, because that's probably all he sees when he's at...

    Dottie78 replied to scrubbleuffagus08's topic in General Nursing

    Hi scrubble, I hear ya! I too am hoping to quit my full-time job to start school soon, and don't want to work full-time while in school. I also had the same concern and posted a thread like this a...

  18. I really want to be a nurse, but......?

    Dottie78 replied to futurenurse1710's topic in General Nursing

    You should go for it! You're so young, and I give you credit for being young and already knowing what you want to do with your life, because a lot of high school students aren't mature enough to...

    Dottie78 replied to redshiloh's topic in General Nursing

    Redshiloh, that is great your fiancee is being evaluated for a liver transplant! I hope that he'll be eligible to be placed on the transplant list and everything goes well for him. :wink2: As far as...

    Dottie78 replied to tolerantgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Have you had a heart-to-heart with your husband? Have you told him how you feel, and asked him to please help you around the house with some of the chores and with the kids? You need to let him know...

  21. Male Nurse and Sexual Comments

    Dottie78 replied to Turd.Ferguson's topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone ever told this guy to stop with the inappropriate comments? I'm also not an old fuddy-duddy, but that is crossing the line big time. I mean, this creep has the nerve to say something that...

  22. How Do You Manage Graveyard Shift & Family?

    Dottie78 replied to Dottie78's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, racing-mom4. It sounds like it's working for you, and I hope it will work for me too. As long as I can get at least 7 hours of sleep, I should be fine. But I was reading some other threads...

  23. I got a D

    Dottie78 replied to Blove86's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really sorry to hear that, but I do know exactly how you feel! That happened to me in A&P I & II. Sometimes I felt over-confident, and then I find out I got a D on the test. It felt...

  24. $31,500...is that too much for a lpn program?

    Dottie78 replied to trixiemunson's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    WOW, that is a lot!! Where are you located? Is this a private institution? I would say that depends on where you are and private institutions are more expensive, but I've never heard of nursing...
