1. Vent: Irritating classmates

   Kim62 replied to AmyLiz's topic in General Students

   I completely understand what you mean. I had two in my Chemistry class exactly like this. Our Instructor was a Paramedic and they sat in the front row and flirted with him the entire class. By flirting I mean interrupting constantly to make comments ...

2. Speaking of Breaks

   Kim62 replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

   I live in Ohio, and employers are not required by law to give us breaks. I work for a manufacturing company (working on becoming a Nurse) and it doesn't matter if we work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, we do not get breaks and there is nothing we can...

   I'm from the area where this one happened, and the same day this happened, a man was reported for walking a tiger cub down the street with a telephone cord as a leash. The animal shelter now has the tiger and is looking for a place to take it. This ...

7. about pre-reqs

   Kim62 replied to B.T.H's topic in CRNA

   CC is not the "easy" route as you refer to it. I have taken classes both at the cc and university level and I assure you cc is not easier. As a matter of fact, most hospitals in this area PREFER graduates from cc because they receive more clinical t...

8. Online classes

   Kim62 replied to StudentRNTX's topic in General Nursing

   I just finished 4 classes online (while working full time), and received 4 A's. I love online and distance learning, but it really is an individual decision. It is not for everyone. I have seen many people flunk out of these classes because they go i...

9. Clinical questions

   Kim62 replied to Kim62's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you all for your responses. You have given me some great advice and I will use it when I start clinicals. There are "bad apples" in every industry. I have thick skin so I am not too concerned about anyone hurting my feelings. I was looking for ...

10. How many are pursuing nursing studies just for the money?

    Kim62 replied to nursing 101's topic in General Students

    I am making more money at my present job than I will as a new grad, so money wasn't the deciding factor for me. Nursing is something I have always wanted to do. I also wanted a career with many different paths and stability. I presently work in manuf...

    Kim62 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Several of my friends that have been in the clinical portion of the program, have made comments about how some of the nurses were "mean" or "rude" to them because they were students. One of my friends dropped out of the program because she said it wa...

    Kim62 replied to kats's topic in General Students

    Hi all! You have all been such an inspiration to me. I am 40 and have been wanting to go into Nursing for a long time. I work during the day, so I can only attend school in the evenings. Our local Community College has started an evening program and ...

15. Has anyone noticed the # of guests we have on the bb?

    Kim62 replied to RNIAM's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I am one of those "lurkers." LOL. I am thinking of going to Nursing school because it is what I have wanted to do for such a long time, but none of the schools in my area offered evening programs. Now a local Community College has started an ev...
