1. Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

   kellilou3 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

   Stitchie, I laughed out loud when I read the part about the fax machine, because the exact same thing happened to me while working a temp job after being laid off. After several unsuccessful...

2. Don't shoot me for asking but...

   kellilou3 replied to Hopegirl's topic in General Nursing

   If a nursing student works in a hospital throughout school as an aide or patient care tech, does he/she have a better chance of being hired on at that same hospital as an RN straight into day

3. Rude Cna To Nurses

   kellilou3 replied to inna's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   I think what you have on your hands is what experts are now calling a "workplace bully". Maybe you should just flat out ask her why she feels the need to degrade you in front of patients. Why does...

4. registering and scheduling woes

   kellilou3 replied to CVnurse08's topic in General Nursing

   A similar thing happened to me this semester (also my first semester), and I was told by an advisor to keep checking the schedule over the next few months, because people will drop "like flies" before...

5. Taking out the trash

   kellilou3 replied to VAC's topic in General Nursing

   RNPATL, you're right, I have no idea what a typical day will be like for me as a nurse, and I would take offense to having trash duty added to my list of responsibilities if I didn't even have time to...

6. Maxed out student loans??

   kellilou3 replied to tennyson's topic in General Nursing

   I have only heard of bridge programs that take about 3 years to get your MSN. I don't think there are any that take only one year. Also, doesn't getting non-profit consumer credit counseling give you...

7. Taking out the trash

   kellilou3 replied to VAC's topic in General Nursing

   I haven't even started nursing school yet but hold the idea that my job as a nurse will be to fulfill the patient's needs, and if the trash is nasty and overflowing, then I will empty it as a courtesy...

8. Maxed out student loans??

   kellilou3 replied to tennyson's topic in General Nursing

   That's what I thought--my degree is in Psychology as well, and I wasn't able to find a good paying job with it. I got a job right out of college doing data entry making $10 an hour. Do...

9. Need advice please - Nurse shadowing

   kellilou3 replied to sleepymom's topic in General Nursing

   I called a local facility and asked how I would go about shadowing a nurse, and they said that I couldn't due to HIPPA laws. I only called the one facility, though, so maybe you should call several...

10. Maxed out student loans??

    kellilou3 replied to tennyson's topic in General Nursing

    What are your degrees

11. Why are you a NP rather than an RN?

    kellilou3 replied to kellilou3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My only concern is that I won't even like nursing or won't be good at it, and will not realize this until after I've spent thousands of dollars for my MSN. Plus, the only university in this area that...

12. Maxed out student loans??

    kellilou3 replied to tennyson's topic in General Nursing

    If I were in that situation, I would put off school until I could pay off some of that debt. Or at least go for the ADN while working as much as possible to keep my head above water, especially...

13. clinical blues

    kellilou3 replied to Purple Princess's topic in General Nursing

    I spoke with a hospital here in Nashville that will pay you during training to be a patient care tech. Your pay goes up once you're done with the training, which is 7 weeks long, and you get benefits...

14. What does your post name reflect about you?

    kellilou3 replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    My husband's nickname for me is Kelli Lou, and my favorite number is 3, so there ya

15. A weighty issue

    kellilou3 replied to Spicey1's topic in General Nursing

    That's awesome, mjlrn97! You must've really worked hard to already be a quarter of the way to your goal in just a couple months. You're an inspiration to me, and I'm sure the rest of us, no matter...
