  1. For the love of God- is this even right?!

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    NO. I am deadly serious. :eek: Our first assignments are to go through and circle/highlight the nouns and verbs, and to identify how each one is that. Also "learning" a touch about adjectives and...

  2. What do you consider to be nursing's biggest setback?

    SweettartRN replied to almost30's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Non-flexible medical staff. Those that want to stick to the "old ways" and don't want to bend and raise holy hell if you try to get them out of their rut, even if a new way may present a good exchange...

  3. What is something from nursing school that has been the most beneficial to you

    SweettartRN replied to almost30's topic in General Nursing

    CYA Period. It doesn't get any more specific than

  4. What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    SweettartRN replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    A nurse tried to start an iv on my father. First she was going to do it without gloves on until I raised holy hell. She put gloves on finally. Then she tried the iv again. When she couldn't get it,...

  5. Lisa Arend's study guides fro EC

    SweettartRN replied to lissa6800's topic in Online Distance Learning

    She is like a rabid chihuahua over her "copyrighted" material but she fails to mention that she has used many other people's information in her notes. Including diagrams, photos, etc. They are very...

  6. BSN- one class at a time

    SweettartRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Can someone please explain to me why in many RN to BSN programs they only allow you to take one class at a time? Doesn't this seem wasteful and frivolous and doesn't it prevent a lot of persons from...

  7. BSN- one class at a time

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The program I am in is an 18 month program. I'll be done November 2012. It seems a bit excessive to me that I can only take one class at a time, and I was not told this was how they operate. Guess...

  8. BSN- one class at a time

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I understand that, however, I don't think that 2-3 classes at a time is anything overwhelming on top of working full time. This could be because I am much more motivated than others, or don't have...

  9. How to approach a GNA about taking long breaks....

    SweettartRN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    It's called a write up. It gets the point across without being nasty and you can bring it to the attention of others as

  10. RN to MSN - Western Governors University versus Univeristy of Phoenix ?

    SweettartRN replied to ERNeck's topic in Western Governors University

    3.0 GPA will not get you into some Master's programs. This was one reason that I didn't choose

  11. Finally here! FCCA/CPNE....

    SweettartRN replied to BerryHappy's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I got my test date 4 days after I applied for the CPNE, and it was for 6 weeks out, which was more than ample time to prepare.

  12. Wait, wait...is it REALLY 529 pages??!!!

    SweettartRN replied to BerryHappy's topic in Online Distance Learning

    For $25 I got it printed (double-sided) and it was bound for me into two separate books. In all actuality you really only need about the last 75 pages or so of the book itself. The ones with the...

  13. A Matter of Respect and Dignity: Bullying in the Nursing Profession

    SweettartRN replied to Willow Moonsidhe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My thoughts on "bullying" are different from others. I believe that which doesn't kill us only makes us stronger, and if you aren't able to stick up for yourself you are putting a target on yourself....

  14. Anyone watch Nurse Jackie?

    SweettartRN replied to Aly529's topic in General Nursing

    I hate this show. I think that it portrays nurses unfairly, and gives a very negative view of the nursing profession in

  15. Is it impossible to get a nursing job without vaccines?

    SweettartRN replied to thequestionguy007's topic in General Nursing

    Scary that an employer can tell you what to do with your body and your immune system. What's next? Forced loyalty

  16. How is it possible to lose license in one state and be able to practice in another?

    SweettartRN replied to 40334lvn's topic in General Nursing

    Just another example of why a national nursing license would be very convenient and

  17. Is it impossible to get a nursing job without vaccines?

    SweettartRN replied to thequestionguy007's topic in General Nursing

    Vaccines of any kind, are never "required" by law. You are legally able to and can refuse any and all

  18. Nervous Nurse can't pass CPNE :)

    SweettartRN replied to nurseymom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    With all due respect, I would say that you have never suffered from an anxiety attack. I took Xanax the whole weekend that I was at my CPNE, and I would not have passed due to the sheer anxiety of it...

  19. Can you be fired after giving notice??

    SweettartRN replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    They sure can. Actually they can tell you leave when you hand in your resignation. This is why I do not believe in giving notice. I live in an at-will state, and my philosophy is, I am not going to...

  20. What would you do if you could not practice as a registered nurse?

    SweettartRN replied to Pia L.'s topic in General Nursing

    Well the only thing that could keep me from doing this would be winning insane amounts in the lottery. And then I would travel, travel, travel! And be somewhere WARM during winter months.

  21. What's your nursing kryptonite?

    SweettartRN replied to ktliz's topic in General Nursing

    Sick children. Enough

  22. Indiana Wesleyan and SJCME

    SweettartRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ok, so I am at sort of a dilemma. I am waiting to hear on my applications from both Indiana Wesleyan and SJCME. Indiana Wesleyan's customer service and admissions process so far has been less than...

  23. Got offered my dream job today...

    SweettartRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Working at a psych hospital. Full time with benefits. Ugh. I have no idea what to do. I want to do this so badly.....BUT there are other personal issues involved, and I don't even know how to begin...

  24. Got offered my dream job today...

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for this, I needed to hear it. :) And the sister thing- she's pretty useless even without children, so I just don't count on her for anything. I am taking Pop's health care one day at a...

  25. OH, My Aching Feet...

    SweettartRN replied to Despareux's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. I always wear my shape-ups. In fact, they are the only shoes I have found that my back/feet don't hurt at the end of a long shift. They are my saving grace, let me tell
