  1. Comments about personal appearance

    2011NursingStudent replied to AOx1's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe projecting the weight issue to thin people makes her feel better about her weight? I think its called "denial".

  2. muscles!!!!!!!!!!!

    2011NursingStudent replied to momtojosh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Use AnatomyArcade.com and play Poke-a-Muscle - its fun, and it will get you 1/2 way there. Then you can use your book for the remaining ones. I made up funny mnemonic devices to remember the

  3. Job market reality for new nurses

    2011NursingStudent replied to DNS on the go's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It's the same in all fields, so they all likely would have faced the same problem anyway. It's possible to get a job right now, but job applicants need to go the extra mile with extra classes, extra...

  6. Impossible for me to be able to do what I have a desire for....

    2011NursingStudent replied to heyheyhey's topic in General Nursing

    All of the ER Tech postings I've seen prefer EMT's, so that might make a good second job for you. It only pays $10-$14 an hour usually, but maybe you could work there for a while and get tuition...

  7. "I have 4 free hours?!" oh my god, a lifetime! What do you do at the drop of a hat?

    2011NursingStudent replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

  8. Good place to buy white scrub pants?

    2011NursingStudent replied to momma25's topic in General Students

    I love the Dickies, they cost a little more, but they look good, they're comfy and not transparent at all. Well worth the extra couple

  9. S. 4040 - Importance of this Legislation

    2011NursingStudent replied to sweetsugar's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's not that simple - due to the vast quantity of times the treatments have already been used, it is not as effective in the places hardest hit by malaria. Malaria is already resistant to these drugs...

  10. Insurance Reimbursement Cuts

    2011NursingStudent replied to drmorton2b's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, my own policy is from Blue Cross/Blue Shield, and was purchased from their website, not my employer b/c I work p/t. Including maternity coverage, its $269/mo. People that have pre-existing...

  11. Insurance Reimbursement Cuts

    2011NursingStudent replied to drmorton2b's topic in General Nursing

    Some of these cuts are going to lead to people becoming ineligible and purchasing private insurance instead, which is a better option anyway. In Illinois for example, almost all parents qualify for...

  15. Totally lost on how to study for TEAS

    2011NursingStudent replied to GirlDotson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you truly don't know any algebra, you might have to take a class. Does your program require algebra once you are in the program anyway? Why not take it before, get it out of the way and then score...

  16. Tips for new grads from one who got a job

    2011NursingStudent replied to ICUSkeenRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This post just helped me a lot - I was on the fence about taking a Phlebotomy class because I "might not need it", and the cost is $600 for a 1 semester course and 2 clinicals, but I think the...

  17. What do you do for daycare?

    2011NursingStudent replied to jmokeefe's topic in General Nursing

    If you have a Facebook, just post a status asking if any of your friends or family would be interested in the position for the same price. A benefit of going with the formal summer...

  18. Sign on bonuses

    2011NursingStudent replied to asdf80's topic in General Nursing

    I take that back, it was in the middle of a bunch of Adventist Midwest Health ads, so I assumed that's where it was, but its for a NICU nurse at Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno, CA. I have...

  19. Is it me? Last few weeks of NS and my motivation is flagging.

    2011NursingStudent replied to DolceVita's topic in General Students

    A kidney infection makes it SO HARD to do anything. I had one a month and a half ago and I could barely lift my head, I couldn't do anything I was so sick and tired. The exam I had after that was the...

  20. Sign on bonuses

    2011NursingStudent replied to asdf80's topic in General Nursing

    I recently saw a job posting for an $8k bonus in Chicago too, and at a mid-sized hospital. I think it means they really want to fill that position and w/a great person, so

  22. Anyone made it through Nsg school WITHOUT caffeine , Adderall, or Red Bull??

    2011NursingStudent replied to Trilldayz,RN BSN's topic in General Students

    I don't drink caffeine ever. I used to drink Mountain Dew Code Red all the time and found myself with a cyst in my chest. After some internet reading, I saw a link b/t caffeine and cysts, stopped...

  23. Anybody have a night PCT job & school/clinicals during the day?

    2011NursingStudent posted a topic in General Students

    I've seen students say they have jobs as PCTs during school, and the only way I can think of is a night PCT position. I currently have a good job in another field, but I'd really like to work ICU or...

  24. Am I still up for nursing?

    2011NursingStudent replied to havehope's topic in General Nursing

    You need REALLY good shoes, it makes all the difference in the world. Try Alegriashoes.com. Nothing I can do about the bed making, though

    2011NursingStudent replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in General Students

    Thanks so much! I never would have applied to the per diem postings b/c I thought I had to have experience. This board is awesome for reasons like this, people are so
