  1. Ritalin

    kellilou3 posted a topic in School

    Do school nurses dispense Ritalin to children? If so, do you have a personal conflict with dispensing it to children whom you may think do not need it? From what I have read and experienced, it...

  2. 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...

  3. 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

  4. 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...

  5. 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...

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

    kellilou3 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    hello all, i had planned on starting nursing school in a year for my adn but have just found out about an msn bridge program for which i may qualify. i already have my bs in psychology, and this...

  7. 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...

  8. 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...

  9. 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...

  10. 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...

  11. 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...

  12. Maxed out student loans??

    kellilou3 replied to tennyson's topic in General Nursing

    What are your degrees

  13. 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...

  14. 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...

  15. 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...

  16. 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

  17. 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...

  18. Titainium Ring Cutters?

    kellilou3 replied to iliel's topic in General Nursing

    I started this thread a while back and got these answers: https://allnurses.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50292 My husband LOVES his wedding band because he's never worn jewelry, and titanium isn't at...

  19. Why, would any RN oppose requiring a BSN for all future nurses?

    kellilou3 replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Alnamvet, can you please go into more detail about the community health care course you're referring to? I have a BS in Psychology and am curious about options other than pursuing an ADN.

  20. Pregnancy and Nursing School

    kellilou3 replied to Daeny's topic in General Nursing

    I will be in the same situation as you but, after reading all of these posts, will probably wait at least until I'm just about done before we start trying (and I'm sure my husband will agree, but we...

  21. Pregnancy and Nursing School

    kellilou3 replied to Daeny's topic in General Nursing

    I will be 29 when I graduate and also would like to have my first child during or very near to the end of the ADN program that I will start Spring of next year. I'm hoping more people will respond to...

  22. Why, would any RN oppose requiring a BSN for all future nurses?

    kellilou3 replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you that having a Bachelor's may not be all that it's cracked up to be, depending on which field it's in. I have a B.S. in Psychology that has gotten me nowhere. I have worked only in...

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

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

    Here is the website: http://www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/nursing/msn/prespec.html I would have to take 3 semesters of general nursing courses and then 3 semesters of specialty classes to earn the MSN degree,...

  24. Ghostly experiences??

    kellilou3 replied to Erin RN's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure about your area, but I have it on hold right now at my local

  25. Wanting to be seen as an adult!!

    kellilou3 replied to emily_rn_03's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't matter if people think it should bother you or not, it does, and you can't help how you feel. And if it's bothering you now, it will REALLY bother you if you fail to say anything to her...
