  1. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    Parade replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    No, he wasn't ever a patient. He just walked in off the street and wanted to see a nurse...don't know how he made it all the way up to the 3rd floor without raising any eyebrows, but he managed it...

  2. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    Parade replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    Oh man, these are just a few I've learned as a UNIT CLERK. Just because someone dares you to insert the handle of a wooden kitchen spoon into your member doesn't mean that you are obligated to...and...

  3. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    Parade replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    Oh, that's the best part of the story! "They" were after his foot because it was "touched by the hands of God", and he was worried that this immaculately blessed foot would fall into the wrong hands,...

  4. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    Parade replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    I am not a nurse (yet!), but I have a rather tasty story I can share. At the time, I was working as a Unit Clerk on Med-Surg 8P-8A. Day shift had left me in one hell of a mess, and I really was paying...

  5. No summer classes- Bored!

    Parade replied to almostfearless's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    http://www.snjourney.com/ClinicalInfo/PreNur/AandP.htm The whole site is full of great resources and activities, but I mostly play around with the A&P stuff. There are some really great learning...

  6. A dilemma! Opinions sorely needed

    Parade replied to grr_imalion's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it were me, and it isn't, I'd take the RN. Same time-frame, better degree. Yes, you may miss out on a little clinical experience because of skipping the LVN/LPN all together, but if you supplement...

  7. Will this affect my acceptance in to my nursing program?

    Parade replied to naide88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really wouldn't think it would be an issue, as it only happens while you're sleeping. If you're on medication to control them and they're well-managed by the meds, I really don't see where it would...

  8. Does anyone think this class schedule is too hard?

    Parade replied to hearts895, RN BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's going to depend on a lot of things. We all learn and study differently; what is difficult for some may come as second-nature to others. A lot of it comes down to what your own personal...

  9. When you graduate what part of nursing are you going into?

    Parade replied to henryswife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, I don't have a clue. I'm just trying to make it through bloody pre-reqs and trying not to think too far ahead of myself. But I've purposely been trying to keep an open mind about it, because...

  10. Accepted!

    Parade replied to AtheistRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations!!!! It sounds like such a

  11. What does ltc and cnm mean

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

    As far as I know... LTC is Long Term Care and CNM is Certified Nurse-Midwife. There may be other definitions, but that's what I normally associate those particular abbreviations

  12. Nursing: I'm just not that into it!

    Parade replied to carebear1976's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I think I get what you're saying. You've been there before, you couldn't handle it then, and you're afraid of the concept of "failing" at it twice. But just the simple fact that you've made an...

  13. Nursing: I'm just not that into it!

    Parade replied to carebear1976's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I was first throwing around the idea of nursing school, I had a discussion with my mom, who has been an RN for the past 15 years. I was doubting whether or not I could handle it, and whether or...

  14. AP I Summer '08 - I need some study online buddies!!!

    Parade replied to JustKeepSmiling's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm all registered and official now! But of course, I drive the 3 hour round trip to get to campus to pay and pick up books, and they don't have the books I need. I got a PSB study guide and a shiny,...

  15. confused, disappointed....

    Parade replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can only imagine how frustrated and discouraged you are right now, and a little betrayed as well. To be told one thing upfront and then another after they get your money or your hopes up is always a...

  16. "But nurses are in demand, how can it be hard to get into nursing school"?

    Parade replied to nynurse2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thankfully, I don't get much of this at home, since my mother is an RN and my aunt who lives with us is an LVN. But other family members have been less than understand about the entire process. "You...

    Parade replied to JustKeepSmiling's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unless something goes horribly wrong, I will be registering for A&P I and Growth and Development in about...4 hours from now. Both are 8 week courses, and both are online. The idea of doing...
