  1. Divorce & Nursing

    Sarah Kat replied to NorthStar's topic in General Nursing

    My friend left her husband about 6 months ago, after being an LPN for a year. I think one of the contributing factors is that she spent her shifts complaining about him to her coworkers and listening...

  2. Does employment at a facility affiliated with the school help you get in?

    Sarah Kat replied to Sarah Kat's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am starting my practical nursing program this month, after that I am going for ASN/RN then BSN. Then the holy grail CRNA. I don't think it's ever too early, though, because you can save a lot of...

  3. Does employment at a facility affiliated with the school help you get in?

    Sarah Kat posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Out of curiousity, I was wondering if anyone knows if it helps to be employed by the facility running the CRNA program. Is this something they look for admissions criteria? Does anyone

  4. Elkins WV says HI!

    Sarah Kat replied to WV_heart_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I start a 3 trimester practical nursing program on Jan 26th. I am in

  5. Ban on Ephedra

    Sarah Kat replied to iliel's topic in General Nursing

    I do understand that, I was only 15 when I was taking it (a kid). In my state, it was not to be sold to anyone under 18 (this was over 10 years ago mind you) but I got it anyway, just like I got...

  6. Tommy Chong Jailed

    Sarah Kat replied to teeituptom's topic in General Nursing

    Not to mention we'd have room in the prisons for real criminals like rapists, murderers, armed robbers, embezzlers... I can't recall where I heard it, but the average sentence for a marijuana dealer...

  7. Dilemma

    Sarah Kat replied to CVnurse08's topic in General Nursing

    Don't forget that you can get a "regular job" (aka non healthcare) wherever (for money) and volunteer at the facility (for experience). I don't know your plans, but maybe you could think about...

  8. Ban on Ephedra

    Sarah Kat replied to iliel's topic in General Nursing

    I abused this drug when I was a sophomore in high school. I still wonder about the long term effects... I haven't used it since I was told I had to quit all stimulants (fibrocystic breasts). I had...

  9. Tommy Chong Jailed

    Sarah Kat replied to teeituptom's topic in General Nursing

    I think one of the main reasons for his arrest/conviction is that he was selling synthetic urine and urine devices people could use to fool drug tests (for heavy drug users). I think there was...

  10. Why Is There A Shortage?

    Sarah Kat replied to Melly1022's topic in General Nursing

    I'm reading this book, Final Diagnosis (cheesy title I know). It's written by an MD (the writing style leaves something to be desired, but the story is engaging). The main character is an RN who got...

  11. Online RN to BSN Programs

    Sarah Kat replied to Cqc_Cqb's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I always read every post... As for the chiropractic discussion, I was simply stating that they have a higher level of education then an RN... In other words, why in the world would a chiropractor (who...

  12. I Found A New Job!

    Sarah Kat replied to jschut's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds good. Oh and (from another thread) best wishes for you and your husband. Hopefully it'll just turn out to be some nasty

  13. Accepted!

    Sarah Kat replied to Bamadawg's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Congrats!!! :balloons: :biggringi When does your program

  14. Was this really routine? On partial birth abortions

    Sarah Kat replied to geekgolightly's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You know, it sounds odd to me that a facility called Christ Hospital would be performing any type of abortion... Since Catholic dogma is vehemently against it. Well, guess it's all about the bottom...

  15. LPN in the ER/ED

    Sarah Kat posted a topic in Emergency

    I am entering LPN school in January and am hoping to be employed at an area hospital in the ER after graduation. I know this facility uses LPNs, that's not the issue. My question is regarding those...

  16. West Virginia LPN Students

    Sarah Kat replied to LPNtobe7/04's topic in General Nursing

    I am really not sure what the salaries are for your area and mine (Charleston). The only LPN I know does home health and has 30 years experience, so she makes more than many RNs! I start school at...

  17. Littmann Stethescopes

    Sarah Kat replied to Medic2005's topic in General Nursing

    So, did Santa put your name on

  18. Celebrities who were formerly nurses...

    Sarah Kat replied to Gldngrl's topic in General Nursing

    I think Picaboo isn't a nurse, I think that's just the joke. I mean, she's a pro athlete -- only amateur athletes have "day jobs". She gets her $$$ from Chapstick endorsements (and I am sure she...

  19. Why all the fuss? Influenza.

    Sarah Kat replied to tgibson3770's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, we (my family and I) have this cold that won't go away. It's a lot of sneezy scratchy throat tiredness achy limbs stuff. It started around Thanksgiving. We'll have a few days reprieve then...

  20. How can nurses forget to scrub hands???

    Sarah Kat replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There was a report on the local news the other day stating that nurses were better about washing than docs. I can't recall where the data came

  21. pain in the ed

    Sarah Kat replied to MAGIK GIRL's topic in Pain Management

    :roll :chuckle :roll :chuckle I am imagining that heavy fake Cockney accent Dick Van Dyke did in Mary Poppins. "Pain in the 'ed,

  22. Daughter #1 becomes RN - the torch is passed!

    Sarah Kat replied to MarkHammerschmidt's topic in General Nursing

    That's wonderful!!!!!!!!:balloons: I too teared up over the story with the vet. She seems like a chip off the ole block! :chuckle Sounds like you've got a keeper

  23. Nurses Are Most Admired

    Sarah Kat replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    They said car salesmen were last on the list... what about telemarketers (one of my former "careers")???

  24. LPN in the ER/ED

    Sarah Kat replied to Sarah Kat's topic in Emergency

    It's refreshing to hear such praise about LPNs (especially since all I seem to hear is "why do you wanna be an LPN if you wanna be an RN later? why not just go to

  25. Online RN to BSN Programs

    Sarah Kat replied to Cqc_Cqb's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Sorry for being one of the hijakers, yes we are a bit off topic. The original post and the topic of this thread is about RN-BSN programs. And I think there is nothing wrong with completing an...
