  3. trouble converting to ns study

    whodatnurse replied to michigansstudent's topic in General Students

    Thanks so much, dbl! I currently only have a PP viewer, rather than the full copy, so the 'File' menu is disabled. But I'm planning to purchase a student copy of Microsoft Office this week, so I...

  4. trouble converting to ns study

    MB37 - I just wanted to say that your various posts on NS strategies have been very helpful to me since I started three weeks ago. I wanted to ask you...could you tell me the name of a tool that...

  5. does age REALLY matter?

    whodatnurse replied to pinkynbd_99's topic in General Nursing

    I have a sister who was, literally...the first baby boomer, born on January 1, 1946. (Okay...she wasn't THE very first person born that year...but her near 4:00 AM arrival put her among the first...

  6. does age REALLY matter?

    whodatnurse replied to pinkynbd_99's topic in General Nursing

    So....pinkynbd 99. With 128 posts from dozens of people who have kindly taken the time to answer the question that has 'been bugging' you...what impact, if any, have the responses you solicited had...

  7. Need advices before changing career to nurse

    whodatnurse replied to jonathanknbo's topic in General Nursing

    You sound as if you're drawn to nursing primarily because it's one of the professions with greater job security. You are quite right about that. I've left a long-term IT career and will be starting a...

  8. Transferring from NOVA to GMU without RN degree

    whodatnurse replied to ehlim412's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Various types of courses satisfy the Global Understanding requirement. They might be things like intercultural communication or international relations. A call to the transfer office can give you...

  9. How can an adult leave a child in a hot car?

    whodatnurse replied to Patrick57's topic in General Nursing

    littllady72 - What you described sounds severely negligent to me. If I were you, I would be making a hell of a lot of noise. That should never happen. Go before your PTA and tell them what...

  10. Teas Test

    whodatnurse replied to davidkathryn's topic in General Nursing

    I took it two weeks ago and did very well. I didn't bother shelling out any money for an exam book or the online practice exam. I did, however, do all the 'free' practice questions on the TEAS...

  11. How do you balance work\family\school?

    whodatnurse replied to denise0815's topic in General Nursing

    Huh...No Tar-zhay? That's the whole point of that store...it has all that great stuff you never KNEW you

  12. Oh, well - Not for me.

    whodatnurse replied to dragonflycafe's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. I'm glad you posted, because I too hadn't yet found anything to give me second thoughts about what I'm getting myself into...until yesterday when I read that MSRA thread. That made me start to...

  13. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    whodatnurse replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't realize the word that rhymes with glut is a no-no (in this context). I'm

  14. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    whodatnurse replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Those are funny! I remember in college meeting a gal who came over from the UK who, dismayed over some minor thing she messed up, said, "Oh, I'm such a silly ****!" We all laughed and said, 'No,...

  15. RN vs Medical Billing and Coding

    whodatnurse replied to 2bNurseguru's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, but I did mean radiography, a term which I hear used interchangeably with radiology technician...the people who do ultrasounds, MRIs and CT scans. That's the term my local cc uses for...

  16. RN vs Medical Billing and Coding

    whodatnurse replied to 2bNurseguru's topic in General Nursing

    m glad somebody asked this, because a guy I met recently in one of my pre-reqs, who worked as a tech in a hospital, said that the billing and coding people rake in six figures annually. He, likeme,...

  17. 8-hour vs. 12-hour workshift: Traditional or Innovative? Benefit or Hazard?

    whodatnurse replied to WELLimAnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! People are split right down the middle on this one. I'm not a nurse yet so I've been wondering a lot about this. I'm not so sure I like the idea of work, go home, collapse, repeat twice....

  18. Seeking the truth about Nursing School acceptance...

    whodatnurse replied to nurseman78's topic in General Nursing

    I'm one of "these people" with a 4.0 and I didn't "just" apply to med school because I don't want to spend the next 7-9 years of my life in school and residency before I'm able to begin a new career....

  19. Are you a dedicated employee (>30yrs) who is feeling the boot coming soon?

    whodatnurse replied to mv740's topic in General Nursing

    Really? You mean state governments, right? Hmmm...I didn't think there were any holdouts. Well...anybody with one of those jobs...hang on to it! I thought the federal government had gone over to...

  20. Are you a dedicated employee (>30yrs) who is feeling the boot coming soon?

    whodatnurse replied to mv740's topic in General Nursing

    OP - I'm afraid you're going to end up having to change that already modified bit of advice. Pension plans are pretty much a thing of the past. If there are any companies that still have them,...

  21. What didn't they teach you?

    whodatnurse replied to suanna's topic in General Nursing

    Where's this 'extensive list' you all came up with? I want to know this stuff too, as do dozens of others, I'm sure!!! Please do

  22. Real dilemma...help please (long)

    whodatnurse replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    Building a little bit more on what Maisy started getting at...yeah, I too think it would behoove you to focus on the one thing you have 100% control over: you. As I read your post, it became pretty...

  23. nurse doesn't believe in life-sustaining measures for herself

    whodatnurse replied to shelly304's topic in General Nursing

    No. No. No. Let me try again. I'm observing the irony that she would rather die than have someone ELSE interfere with "God's plan"...but HER interference with "God's plan" is going to be business...

  24. nurse doesn't believe in life-sustaining measures for herself

    whodatnurse replied to shelly304's topic in General Nursing

    I see the distinction as this. Although you wouldn't choose those things for yourself, you wouldn't bring your opinion to bear upon someone else's choices. The person described by the OP said the...
