    DoeRN replied to angieperry's topic in General Nursing

    DoeRN replied to LM NY's topic in Western Governors University

  8. BSN, NP, PA, and MD

    DoeRN replied to JePierreB's topic in General Students

    You heard wrong. You have to meet the admission requirements for med school. It doesn't say you have to major in a particular subject. Look at the admission requirements for a med school you are...

  9. Not excited about nursing--feels like a bad joke

    DoeRN replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    Completely understand. I've been a nurse for 7 years almost 8 and I feel this way all the time. I'm getting another degree outside the medical field. Nursing isn't for everyone but I do have...

  12. What advice would you give your 19 year old self?

    DoeRN replied to depalma.amada's topic in General Nursing

    No, not necessarily to stay single, pick the right person. The number 1 thing is to trust your instinct. If you feel something isn't right then it is almost 99% true. Don't make excuses for anyone....

  13. What advice would you give your 19 year old self?

    DoeRN replied to depalma.amada's topic in General Nursing

    Leave the boys or girls alone. They will always be there focus on school. Wish I would have known joining the military was another option for paying for school too. Who cares if people call...

  14. Time Paradox of 12 hour shifts

    DoeRN replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe look for a different class even if it's a little further away. Or think of different hobbies. And if you're tired of your schedule look for a different job. Sent from my iPhone using...

    DoeRN replied to abend's topic in Colorado Nursing

  16. Overweight

    DoeRN replied to MCNERRA's topic in Health, Stress Management

    It's a start though. I would eat McDonald's before I worked because it was real close to my house. If I have a burger it's from somewhere like Five Guys and without the bun with all the fixings. I...

  18. How to start

    DoeRN replied to terehsole888's topic in General Nursing

    You will not be able to work in LA with a FL license. Why didn't you get your LA license first? You could have applied for a FL license when you were ready to move. If you want to work in LA...

    "I'm a travel nurse and have never met him before." Actually this was a true statement. Not reassuring but hey it was the truth. Sent from my iPhone using

  21. What to do when u find an unresponsive patient

    DoeRN replied to LucasNewGrad's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    If the patient isn't a DNR you begin compressions. We've done slow codes before but it was a code none the less. But that's a whole other topic which I'm sure has been discussed on here in the past....

    DoeRN replied to hawkeyefan's topic in General Nursing

  24. Can scientific types go into nursing?

    DoeRN replied to Young Tangerine's topic in General Nursing

    I have no interest in respiratory therapy. To be honest I should have thought about attending nursing school long and hard before I applied. It just isn't for me and I'm really just coming to terms...
