    CarVsTree replied to SisterJourney's topic in General Nursing

    Homeschoolers Rock!!! My sister homeschools my 5 nieces. They are all very smart! :) Another thing you may want to consider is an accelerated combined BSN/MSN. This will often take a year off of...

  7. Time for NCLEX

    CarVsTree replied to pnurseuwm's topic in General Nursing

    Aside from the board not allowing it... Why would you want to take the NCLEX BEFORE you graduate? Nursing school is very intense. Not a walk in the park. In addition, I'm sure there are questions...

  8. what's the difference??????????

    CarVsTree replied to salvati08's topic in General Nursing

  10. confined to bed after 4cm?

    CarVsTree replied to littlemrs's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Get a birthing ball and bring it with you. If they tell you to get in bed, just don't. I know when I was in labor, Kayla was OP and the bed was pure agony. I got in bed for the few dilatation checks...

    CarVsTree replied to hrjqtpie's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry to hear you're having a difficult time. My only advice is to hold off on nursing school until your daughter is older. I'm sorry if it is not what you want to hear, but I have to wonder...

    CarVsTree replied to busybeaver's topic in General Students

    Your bf needs to GROW UP. You plan on getting married and having children some day? How much time does he think he'll get then. Sorry, but he would just P me

  14. PDA's

    CarVsTree replied to beamer's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If you won't need to attach a keyboard (i.e. note taking in class) then you will get the most bang for your buck with a Palm Tungsten E. It is high resolution color screen, comes with 32mb RAM on...

  15. Tired of "ER's" Portrayal of Nurses???

    CarVsTree replied to CarVsTree's topic in General Nursing

  17. Vet Tech Vs. Cna Training

    CarVsTree replied to Louisepug's topic in General Nursing

    I was a vet. assistant for several years. I love animals and that is why I chose the field. I agree with nurse2b, it will not prepare you for nusing. I gave lots of meds, started IV's, inserted...

  18. want to study nursing! need your opinions

    CarVsTree replied to cathytoday's topic in Nursing Career

  19. why no responses to my post

    CarVsTree replied to cathytoday's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't believe OP was referring to LPN being a waste of time. She has Hep. C and wonders if that will preclude her from being able to pursue the degree.

  20. I'm sorry. I have to say it.

    CarVsTree replied to dawngloves's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I haven't even begun nursing school yet, and it looked totally lame. Stick a tube down ther throat and they're fine right? I didn't know you NICU nurses had it so easy! :chuckle And again, why does...

  21. Accelerated 2nd Degree BSN GPA

    CarVsTree replied to TLC RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

  22. "Stupid Nurse Tricks"

    CarVsTree replied to mistersleepy's topic in Nursing Humor

    This happened in an animal hospital, but is too funny to keep to myself. Barry was one of our "techs" and he was inherently lazy. A cat that died on his shift was supposed to be "left out" a.k.a. not...

    CarVsTree replied to can'twait2B1's topic in Ob/Gyn

  24. HELP,HELP,HELP,HELP,HELP--student nurse in distress

    CarVsTree replied to prairiegirl's topic in Nursing Career
