    Cherry2000 replied to esunada's topic in General Students

    Whether you burn out or not will depend on a few things. One, are you a good student? Does learning come easily to you or do you have to put in a lot of time and effort? How difficult are your...

    Cherry2000 replied to Cherry2000's topic in New York Nursing

  8. what "extra" classes to add to RN Assoc.

    Cherry2000 replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    I checked into the local schools to see what they want also. A big one that most places require is statistics if you haven't taken it already. Psych is a big one

    Cherry2000 replied to ShortStackRN's topic in General Students

    I have to say that I am right there with you. I graduate in May also and getting through finals this December was like pulling teeth! I kinda gave up toward the end and only half-*** studied. Luckily...

    Cherry2000 replied to Cherry2000's topic in General Nursing

  11. did your job give you a holiday gift??

    Cherry2000 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    Cherry2000 replied to Lalage's topic in General Nursing

  14. Dosage Calculation Question, Please help me : (

    Cherry2000 replied to Laura77598's topic in General Students

    My take: There is a total of 450 ml running at 150 ml/hr...so that would give you your time frame...of 3 hrs. (450/150) So if it started at 10 am....3 hours later would be 1 pm...and that is when the...

    Cherry2000 replied to cinja's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: Get familiar with USERRA too. Many employers realize that they cannot penalize you because you are in the service. BUT there are many things in there that will serve you well only if you...

    Cherry2000 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    At my school we are required to submit our paper to turnitin.com. This prevents cheating and gives students an originality score. Our score has to be below a certain percentage or the paper is...

    Cherry2000 posted a topic in General Nursing

  18. What in the world? Your thoughts please?

    Cherry2000 replied to Cherry2000's topic in General Nursing

    Well I guess I did answer the question wrong anyway. I never thought about "What would you do if someone wasn't doing their job?" before. I said that it wasn't my place to "do" anything considering...

    Cherry2000 replied to Staczse7's topic in Government, Military

    My husband is in the Guard and right now he has been activated so we have Tricare. I can't help you with the costs because it all automatically comes out of his pay. But I have no copay for dr visits...

  20. What in the world? Your thoughts please?

    Cherry2000 replied to Cherry2000's topic in General Nursing

    The manager realizes she isn't going to change the floor without bringing in new blood. But the thing she is trying to guard against (my opinion) is bringing on someone new that will see what the...

    Cherry2000 replied to ImNotWitty's topic in General Nursing
