  1. I gave my first injection today

    AmyLiz replied to LilRedRN1973's topic in General Students

    Congrats! Sounds great! My husband would run screaming if I came at him with a needle!

  2. Hair style poll: Long or short?

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

    Short! I've had mine short for a year now & am very happy with it. It takes no time to blow dry & all I do to style it is run my fingers through it with some goop. A quick spritz of...

    AmyLiz replied to lashon20's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats! I knew you would

  4. Career Counseling PLEASE!

    AmyLiz replied to ninatobella's topic in General Nursing

    A PCT should pay a little more than a CNA, but I don't know how much in Chicago. Can't tell you what to do, though. That's up to you. You could just get your STNA status...go to work somewhere...

  5. Nervous about test results

    AmyLiz replied to lashon20's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I don't know much about the state testing. I'm in Sinclairs NA training class currently. All I know is they'll fail you right away if you forget something major, but if it's something minor, it...

  6. Need some advice on quitting school

    AmyLiz replied to HISSYTHECAT's topic in General Nursing

    800 bucks for bankruptcy? You've got to be kidding. That's like robbing Peter to pay Paul I'd look for other lawyers. I've seen some advertise on the tv. Bankruptcy's for $85 or something like...

  7. Need some advice on quitting school

    AmyLiz replied to HISSYTHECAT's topic in General Nursing

    You could always go the bankruptcy route. I know a lot of folks don't want to even think about that, but I've known 3 individuals who have filed bankruptcy & it really helped them to get back on...

  8. National Honors Society???

    AmyLiz replied to 2005 Nurse's topic in General Students

    I should get the invite after this quarter (I'll have enough credits under my belt by then. I've got a 4.0 currently overall.) and I plan on joining. Some folks told me that they would wait until...

  9. Teacher and Student Intimate Relationship: Is it ok?

    AmyLiz replied to nardongputik2's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. Having said that, I know it can be easy to "fall" for or be attracted to an instructor. Heck, I had a little crush on one of mine when I was getting my bachelors back in my early 20's. But...

  10. How do you wake up in the am

    AmyLiz replied to iliel's topic in General Nursing

    I had the same problem until I started exercising in the morning. The first week was hard, but once I got past that "hump", I found that I woke up (and slept) much better. I've been doing "Walk Away...

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

    AmyLiz replied to evi's topic in General Students

    Oh...and evi...I'm with John. There are so many people who are in nursing programs who do not have any healthcare experience. I'm sure if you don't have any that it shouldn't count against you. If...

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

    AmyLiz replied to evi's topic in General Students

    Evi...good advice so far! You can do it...it IS intimidating, but it CAN be done. There are a lot of us on these boards who are working full time, going to school and have families. It's not easy,...

  13. Does anyone else think Pre-reqs suck??

    AmyLiz replied to Future_RN3385's topic in General Students

    Lucky for me I don't have to take many of the general ed courses since I've already got a bachelors degree. I got to skip humanities, english, etc. Only one I really have to take is Communications,...

  14. Nursing Uniform

    AmyLiz replied to Soon2BNP's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    http://www.lifeuniform.com and http://www.jascouniform.com are where my step-mum bought her uniforms. You can request catelogs from them as

  15. Nursing Syndrome

    AmyLiz replied to flaced's topic in General Students

    I don't think that a bad attitude is necessarily confined to the medical field. I've worked in a few different place prior to starting nursing school and have dealt with bad attitudes in all of them....

  16. Math Placement Exam

    AmyLiz replied to suzy253's topic in General Students

    Suzy, I took a math placement exam before starting this past quarter. It wasn't "too" terrible. It had decimals, fractions, percentages, basic math (addition, subtraction, multiplication,...

  17. Q about Nursing School credit hours

    AmyLiz replied to marilynmom's topic in General Students

    I haven't started my nursing classes yet, but I know that the way it is at our school is the way Lori mentioned above. I know most of our nursing courses are *only* 8 credit hours, but then you have...

  18. Chiropractors

    AmyLiz replied to Paprikat's topic in General Nursing

    Never been to a chiropractor, but my D.O. used to work on my back/neck. I missed him when he

  19. Not enough time to finish my Chemistry test!

    AmyLiz replied to gordi24's topic in General Students

    Ugh. That stinks. Sorry to hear that. Did you have a lot left to do, or just a few? I've got my first chem quiz tonight...been studying like a

    AmyLiz replied to marilynmom's topic in General Students

    I'm getting ready to take Intro to Chem this quarter (first class is tomorrow night! Eep! ) This is all that is required for our ADN program. I've looked through the books & I don't see that...
