My first nursing school exam

WeirdNurseKelly replied to WeirdNurseKelly's topic in General Students

I did. Put a big X on the back of the test. Made me laugh. I don't know if anyone else saw me, it would be funny to know what they were thinking if they saw me though. Our college does require at...
My first nursing school exam

WeirdNurseKelly replied to WeirdNurseKelly's topic in General Students

I got all worked up and panicked for nothing. I did so well on the test. I got a 90.9%. .10% away from an A, little frustrating but thats ok. I did my best. There is still a chance I get an A on...
Anyone with Anxiety issues

WeirdNurseKelly replied to ThinkRNin2009's topic in General Students

I too suffer from anxiety. I have been on medication to control it. I sometimes forget but lately I haven't been because I know if I forget I will be in trouble. I also take xanax as needed for...
My first nursing school exam

WeirdNurseKelly replied to WeirdNurseKelly's topic in General Students

The test went well. After the test we took it as a group too. My college gives us 70 % on our individual test (if we score 75% or better) and 30% of our score as a group. When doing the group...
My first nursing school exam

WeirdNurseKelly replied to WeirdNurseKelly's topic in General Students

I think I might just do that. I haven't really looked at much of my notes today. I am feeling pretty good right now. This is my first test so I feel that if I don't get that 75% i need (its...
Pediatrics injection

WeirdNurseKelly replied to highlife2008's topic in General Nursing

Jolie, you are probably right. I have only HEARD of it. Never met a CNA that has done it before. Guess I should have clarified that a little. My cousin worked in GI for a while, was not a medical...
Pediatrics injection

WeirdNurseKelly replied to highlife2008's topic in General Nursing

As a trained medical assistant I have given many pediatric immunizations/injections. I have worked mainly in peds/family medicine. I have heard of CNAs doing injections, mainly check blood glucose,...
This made my day (kinda long)

WeirdNurseKelly posted a topic in General Students

I'm in my second week of nursing school. This summer has been super busy for me. I got married, day before the wedding my cat died, went on our cruise, moved 2 weeks later (nursing school is 2 hours...
Green stool

WeirdNurseKelly replied to mom4josh's topic in General Nursing

I am a medical assistant and work in pediatrics. I am not quite a nurse, but I will be starting my journey in September. Not sure if this pertains to adults but we always have lots of questions...
previous employee coming back to work...and im nervous

WeirdNurseKelly replied to climbingkp's topic in General Nursing

Your office sounds exactly like the place I work at. I work at a pediatric clinic as a medical assistant. I have been there just over a year. My last day is August 1st because I am headed off to...
Trapped in this office job and waiting for nursing school...

WeirdNurseKelly replied to cherubhipster's topic in General Nursing

I wasn't sure when I was going to quit my job. It was either mid September or August 1st. My fiance and I talked about it and thought it would be best for me to quit August 1st. I will have a lot...
Strange things found on (or in) a pt.

WeirdNurseKelly replied to squeakykitty's topic in Emergency

I am sure someone has heard about something like this before. I guess you had to be there to actually witness us laughing cuz it was kind of funny but unfortunate too. I work with a PA she tells the...
New to Board and Forum

WeirdNurseKelly replied to marachne's topic in Hospice, Palliative

Welcome fellow Oregonian. It's going to be a super nice sunny weekend. Allnurses.com is fantastic. I am totally addicted. I check this site many times daily (totally hooked).
CNA or MA for points?

WeirdNurseKelly replied to SunnySunshine's topic in Oregon Nursing

Banjoeer has a good point. It does take longer and costs more money to become an MA. Another thing I forgot to point out is that if you go to a community college for your MA you can use your...
CNA or MA for points?

WeirdNurseKelly replied to SunnySunshine's topic in Oregon Nursing

I am currently a medical assistant and work at a pediatric clinic. Being a medical assistant give you much more you can do, like blood draws (not just finger pokes for blood sugars), injections,...
Childcare for 12 hour overnight shifts

WeirdNurseKelly replied to lizmatt's topic in General Nursing

I dont know anything about childcare, I don't have children. Just a thought though. Do you have any family, maybe an aunt, uncle, grandparents that would be willing to take your kids overnight to...
info anyone...housing close to OHSU?!?!?

WeirdNurseKelly replied to limey7775's topic in Oregon Nursing

I am not sure the cost of renting down town Portland but you should look into that too. I know some if not all places have an underground garage or some type of parking situation for you. The...
Trapped in this office job and waiting for nursing school...

WeirdNurseKelly replied to cherubhipster's topic in General Nursing

Thats unfortunate that you are afraid of your employer for furthering your education. They should be happy for you and understand that you are doing this to better yourself. I got my acceptance...
My school won't let me retake any of my prerequisites

WeirdNurseKelly replied to oned's topic in General Nursing

Maybe you should talk to a different advisor, maybe someone who knows a little more about the nursing program. Some advisors don't really know a specialty area, they are there to answer "general"...
What will you do if you don't get in?

WeirdNurseKelly replied to joymama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

I work as a medical assistant at a pediatric clinic. I have been here for a year now..........well a year as of June 4th. I love every minute of it. I give immunizations, we see sick kids, do well...
Is this a good start to pre-reqs?

WeirdNurseKelly replied to msdizzydolores's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

From what I heard, the community college I went to for my prereqs for nursing scool have an online a&p class. I guess the way it works is that quizzes are done at home (online) and midterms are...

WeirdNurseKelly replied to xera678's topic in Oregon Nursing
