  1. who have an experience of withdrawing?

    sunray12 replied to neurontin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1. If your teacher gives you notes then use the notes. His/her notes probably outline the material you'll be tested on. In that case the notes would be your primary reading material and your textbook...

  2. Pre nursing school studying material

    sunray12 replied to BjSkyGGEvan's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    If you go to half.com you can get old editions of nursing textbooks for cheap - e.g. maybe a dollar or less for the book plus cost of shipping. Just search for "practical nursing" or "vocational...

  3. Nursing - changing me for the worse

    sunray12 replied to king red's topic in General Nursing

    ^^in that case i don't see the point in becoming someone you don't want to be and probably jeopardizing your relationship over just a few extra dollars. money is important but it isn't

  4. Rethink my career path: PharmD VS PMH-NP

    sunray12 replied to oohnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Lack of autonomy is a leading cause of disappointment/disillusionment across a broad cross section of professional/grad students and ... new graduates. Bottom line - most people are accountable to...

  5. A & P 1 online a good idea?

    sunray12 replied to jswitch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    IMO it is harder. When you go to class in person most teachers give out little tips and freebies (points) that you will not be getting online. Also there is a lot more collaboration with other...

  6. Please..What else can I do with an Associate Degree in Nursing

    sunray12 replied to Schmoo1022's topic in General Nursing

    Go back to school? With an additional credential or two you can probably leverage your nursing experience into another career that pays

  7. Mind Boggling - Not going to graduation?

    sunray12 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I can understand negative feelings about a school, bad teachers, arbitrary testing systems, etc., etc. But in the end I don't think you should take it so personally to the point where you don't go to...

  8. Is this true? Stopping to help at accident scene.

    sunray12 replied to Shannon82's topic in General Nursing

    ^^I don't see where it says that. The stat simply limits your liability if you choose to stop. (I'm not a

  9. Do you know anyone who used Nursing as a stepping stone to something else?

    sunray12 replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    I know someone who just got her BSN and was studying for the MCAT before she even took NCLEX. I assume she will work as a RN only until she gets into med school. A RN is also a good foundation for law...

  10. protocol to challenge board to become RN

    sunray12 replied to 1966nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t see why some people on this board get their feathers so ruffled about this issue. This is an old thread but at the time that OP started it, she states that she had 12 years of LPN experience...

  11. Management favoritism to the other NP in my practice

    sunray12 replied to DucatiNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    1) how can someone who surfs the net most of the day "not be good with computers" - assuming this means just using software interfaces - not repairing them, etc. 2) in negotiating your past raises it...

  12. LPN RN Tru or False

    sunray12 replied to jam911's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think CA may allow challenges based on a lower level license + work experience. I am not 100% sure of this and I don't think many other states have similar provisions. Search your state code and...

  13. Sewing Patterns for Scrubs

    sunray12 replied to stellina615's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have several New Look scrub patterns. You can get them at Joann Fabrics (or any other fabric store). My only thing is that I'm picky about fabric quality so it ends up being cheaper and more...

  14. Reccomend a gender neutral title to replace "Nurse"!

    sunray12 replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. Take some job titles commonly used in corporations - "analyst" - "specialist" - "team leader". No one assumes anything about the gender of people who hold these titles. I can agree with...

  15. Comparable jobs to RNs (salary wise)

    sunray12 replied to JomoNurse's topic in General Nursing

    ^^there's a level of choice involved in that - they could probably get jobs in areas like teaching, govt., or join the military, etc., and make decent money. the community college system in my state...

  16. Free nursing school? Let's research.

    sunray12 replied to jswitch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not in Florida but hospital and other similar type scholarships don't usually mean completely free. In most cases there are stipulations and you are expected to pay with x-years of service after...

  17. I have a herniated disk am I done :(

    sunray12 replied to Coloradogrl's topic in General Nursing

    i can't speak to the other specialities but mobility of any kind is challenging when you have back pain. peds and or aren't known as "back friendly" specialties. some peds patients are the same size...

  18. Do you love nursing or hate it???

    sunray12 replied to ysin's topic in General Nursing

    based on the highlighted parts above to be honest i don't think you'll like nursing. going from interior design to hospital work would probably involve too much culture shock unless you really know...

  19. EEG Tech and Nursing

    sunray12 replied to feralnostalgia's topic in General Nursing

    I know someone who is a sleep disorders NP so maybe if you get EEG training you can use that as a basis for an advanced practice nursing specialty. However I wouldn't want to be a floor nurse...

  20. Difference between RN and LPN responsibilities in the hospital setting?

    sunray12 replied to RebeccaJeanRN's topic in General Nursing

    The resuscitation of an old thread .... My med surge text book (PN) has critical thinking questions on just about every other page so I'm not so sure about the "RN critical thinker" vs "LPN - basic...

  21. Why Are So Many Students Worried About Expensive Tuition

    sunray12 replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing

    Well in all fairness, and not to step on any toes, but cc is the hyundai and a school like duke is more on par with a lexus. Both will get you down the highway and where you want to go but it all...

  22. Did you have any other options?

    sunray12 replied to Coloradogrl's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone has other options. Nothing in life is guaranteed and nursing offers fewer guarantees than many other occupations. In a profession where you can be put out of school or lose your license for a...

  23. OK to just mail resumes to nsg homes?

    sunray12 replied to Sensoria17's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
