  1. Need Union Advice:

    Cherry2000 replied to lorster's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    It is not ok to intimidate the other workers into voting for a contract. BUT it is common to ask for more than you expect to get. The idea is that the Union and the Company will meet in the middle,...

  2. Dating/Military marriage

    Cherry2000 replied to SakuraYumi's topic in General Nursing

    Just be aware now that if you go in and are still dating, the military is under no obligation to keep the two of you together. Unfortunately you could be stationed across the world from each other. If...

  3. Not going for the gold right now...

    Cherry2000 replied to GoingfortheGOLD's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't know how to help you, but I just wanted to say hang in there and get through it. Don't let just one bad experience ruin it all for you. Graduate and then you are free to get all the experience...

  4. Just a phase?

    Cherry2000 replied to _Angel_'s topic in General Students

    You didn't ask too many questions but you did ask questions that most of us can't answer for you. I would suggest talking to the advisor at the school tomorrow like you planned. Find out what you...

  5. Military Nursing

    Cherry2000 replied to Impatient02's topic in Government, Military

    Check out ROTC. They will pay for your schooling and you will have to do PT and classes with them while you are going fulltime. In the summer you will go through basic training and...something else...

  6. How many tests have you taken so far??

    Cherry2000 replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    I feel like I'm a slacker. lol We have our dosage calc test on Friday (not the nursing version), then our first fundamentals test and first skills test on Monday. Nothing like doing it all at once!!...

  7. Military orders to Okinawa Japan

    Cherry2000 replied to Tinsey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My suggestion would be to go through the military to find out. The base over there is quite large. I have a cousin in the Air Force that is stationed over there right now. There should be some support...

  8. Nursing student and over weight

    Cherry2000 replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    I know what you mean about feeling out of place. I'm about the same size you are and right now we are doing bed baths and learning how to move people on the bed. So the instructor wants to have...

  9. What the heck is a dram?

    Cherry2000 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am taking a dosage calc class and part of one of our assignments is to write out abbreviations. The professor is not teaching us anything...all he is doing is going over the assigned problems. That...

  10. What the heck is a dram?

    Cherry2000 replied to Cherry2000's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ok, now I feel like a dork! :stone I didn't think to look in my dictionary. Sigh. I have Stedman's. So the abbreviation would be dr and 3 drams would be 3 dr? I guess I need to think "outside the...

  11. Recognized by coworkers on AllNurses.com?

    Cherry2000 replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    I am one of those people that have an email address with my name...so I created a new one just to get email from here! I feel bad sometimes because I do not share this website with other students. I...

  12. will universal healthcare ( in the usa) cut RN pay?

    Cherry2000 replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    IMO the people make the union, not the other way around. No matter how "good" the international union is, the people that work there will be the ones who determine whether the local union is...

  13. Micro students will appreciate this...

    Cherry2000 replied to NurseBettyICU's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOL!!! I can totally understand that. Over the summer I took A&P and reviewed the entire skeletal system in my sleep. Needless to say I didn't feel like I was very rested in the morning!! But I...

    Cherry2000 replied to Comfortably_Numb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Please do not let your mother hold you back from beginning YOUR life. You need to start to put yourself first. I can understand what you are going through. I was a very good student in high school...

  15. Scholarship Application--What to do?

    Cherry2000 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, at my school that have a new scholarship ($5000!) that they will be awarding to non-traditional students starting this fall. There was a big thing about it in the paper, so I figured I would go...

  16. Slight dilema, any advice would be apprieciated............long....sorry

    Cherry2000 replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I were you, I would just go ahead and take the class. YOU are the one that wants to get into the nursing class. She has a lot going on right now and for her it is probably a good idea not to go...

  17. Online Classes

    Cherry2000 replied to pristock230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well I went to ratemyprofessor.com and found one of my instructors and she had really good ratings. The other instructor was not listed on there but I had to email her to be added to her class...

  18. Online Classes

    Cherry2000 replied to pristock230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was wondering how online classes are structured? I am taking anthropology and developmental psych-child online in the fall with my first nursing class. Do you have to sign in so many times? Is it...

  19. classes!

    Cherry2000 replied to tryingtobecome's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started out with 2 classes at a time and I have 2 kids, hubby, house and a few pets. Oh and I was working full time also. It really all depends on how comfortable do you feel. Do things come to you...

  20. Nursing School Explanation

    Cherry2000 replied to rduterte's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I glanced at the website really quickly and from what I saw there are only 2 classes you have to complete before you can apply. Not all schools have waitlists. Mine doesn't. If you don't get in this...

  21. Weight loss surgery

    Cherry2000 replied to RN1982's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I just want to correct myself. In general, to get the surgery your BMI has to fall under morbidly obese. My BMI of 40 is related to my height. Your height will determine what your specific BMI would...

  22. Weight loss surgery

    Cherry2000 replied to RN1982's topic in Health, Stress Management

  23. Filed a Grievance against my Manager....now I'm worried

    Cherry2000 replied to Lori75's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Coming from a union background for the last 5 years.... IF YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE: Always go to the root of the problem first. It was said that the supervisor is a bit scatter-brained so that leads me...

  24. Nightmares about work?

    Cherry2000 replied to Rabid Response's topic in General Nursing

    Wow mpccrn! That scares me because although I haven't started NS yet I have been known to review A&P ALL night in my sleep and wake up feeling like I didn't sleep at all! The worst part is that I...
