  1. How do you handle "true emergencies"?

    PadawanLearner replied to umakemesmile's topic in Operating Room

    Red lights and sirens are not always a good thing. When I was a volunteer firefighter in Florida, we were told that AT MOST we could away with 9 mph over the posted speed limit. That's not to say...

  2. Chem Spring 2008

    PadawanLearner replied to kristi1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats, altbsn! Keep up the good work! We had our second exam this past Tuesday. I got an 83 But then I glanced over the exam after class and I counted only 13 points wrong. Talked to the...

  3. Ooh, I Can Hardly Wait

    PadawanLearner replied to bollweevil's topic in General Nursing

    You got that right. I once had an employee tell me, "I could do your job". I replied, "Please do, I'm tired of working 50+ hours a week and only getting paid for 40, of being the one the higher-ups...

  4. Happy valentine's day!

    PadawanLearner replied to Audrey28's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh great, feel the love and get a virus. To all those who have someone,

  5. Clinton Health Plan May Tap Pay

    PadawanLearner replied to Jolie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I really don't know why you're harping about how much the tax cuts have "cost". We really should be focused on reducing government, not expanding it. Reducing the overall cost of government would...

  6. Clinton Health Plan May Tap Pay

    PadawanLearner replied to Jolie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oh how I love it when people talk about how much a tax cut "cost the government". 1st clue: It was never the government's money to begin with. My IRA consistently makes between 5% and 7% return....

  7. Clinton Health Plan May Tap Pay

    PadawanLearner replied to Jolie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I just love it when politicians start talking about SS and health care, considering they don't pay into either (how is that right?). I'm very much in favor of health care savings accounts and for the...

  8. Male nursing shoes?

    PadawanLearner replied to caliber's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Will these do?

  9. Do you have a back-up plan if you don't get in?

    PadawanLearner replied to CNAinNeb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The community college I'm currently attending has a points based entry system and they're pretty forth-coming about the cut off score for the previous three years. It's a good way of figuring out how...

  10. Pros and Cons of Driving v. Flying & How to Pack

    PadawanLearner replied to Ashes's topic in Travel

    Uninformed is different from being dumb...don't belittle yourself. It really depends on what kind of system you want. There are handhelds (kinda like PDAs or Crackberrys) or larger ones like the...

  11. Did Hillary really say nurses are glorified sitters ?..... No fact to support

    PadawanLearner replied to time4meRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think paychecks will take a hit regardless, either in pay rate or

  12. Chem Spring 2008

    PadawanLearner replied to kristi1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    we got the chocolate chip cookie analogy too. i couldn't help but go "mmmmm coookie" (ala homer simpson). we have a test this coming tuesday on polyatomic ions and covalent compounds. i'll pick up...

  13. The field of Nursing is wicked to CENAs..the ugly side no one talks about

    PadawanLearner replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I'm not CNA (although am seriously thinking about getting the certification this summer), but there seems to be one thing missing from this story that would have saved the OP's assets:...

  14. Chem Spring 2008

    PadawanLearner replied to kristi1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats!! I'm actually enjoying chemistry. Studying last night gave me a headache though. All that _ide, _ate, _ite stuff is not gray matter friendly. Had to take a break and watch an episode of...

  15. Nursing Patches?

    PadawanLearner replied to nurscestudent's topic in General Nursing

    Soak patches? Are these special kind of patches? If they're just cloth, all you need to do is get the patch wet (not soak it), pat it semi-dry, then sew it on. That's they way I affix patches to...

  16. Did Hillary really say nurses are glorified sitters ?..... No fact to support

    PadawanLearner replied to time4meRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Did she say it? Dunno. Would it be something I could see her saying? Yep. She's a politician. Politicians will always say whatever they think their audience at the time wants to hear. A...

  17. Poll: As a male in Nursing school, my goal/desire is to work in this area....

    PadawanLearner replied to Thunderwolf's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I assisted in a delivery as a volunteer firefighter once. I would very much like to avoid doing that again...ever. But hey, if that's your calling have it OB-GY-nobi, and don't let anyone tell you...

  18. Is anyone else quitting their job one they enter the nursing program?

    PadawanLearner replied to mybrowneyedgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm still working on my pre-reqs, but since I'm still paying off debt from my first Bachelor's degree I figure why not add to it? I plan on quitting my job ithis summer and will be looking into...

  19. Why is it so bad to be an LPN ????

    PadawanLearner replied to hair_tie's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Wouldn't it be great if it worked that way for doctors too? "Oh, you're just a physician? Why don't you become a

  20. Entitled Generation

    PadawanLearner replied to javajaydon's topic in General Nursing

    The whole "entitlement generation" thing really bugs me. I know there are those out there who believe that they are "entitled" to anything they want, but those people forget that when they get what...

  21. Starting my pre-reqs...In need of a lil support :]

    PadawanLearner replied to Ateal17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can do it!! Yes it's daunting and stressful and all that, but it's also very worth it! I feel like I'm starting all over again (have a BA in Psychology that I've never used), and I am. The good...

  22. Michigan Talk

    PadawanLearner replied to RoadKill's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Greetings, I'm currently attending Lansing Community College. Congrats, Susan!! I've been getting all kinds of things from UM's nursing program, are they having a shortage of students or are they...

  23. Breakfast of champs

    PadawanLearner replied to RN ColbyJack's topic in General Nursing

    I tend toward hypoglycemia as well and used to skip breakfasts to keep from having sugar crashes around 10 AM. Very bad habit. I've recently purchased what has to be one of the best inventions...

  24. PRE-nursing

    PadawanLearner replied to determined08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on being certified and being able to get a job that's relevant. The community college I'm currently attending does admissions into the nursing program based on a point system. You can earn...

  25. Note taking question

    PadawanLearner replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A voice recorder is a great asset. Be mindful of anything that an instructor says more than once. If she/he says something and then says the same thing again or in a different way, that's a hint....
