  6. Can't make a decision for the life of me...

    j_audrey replied to JustKeepSmiling's topic in General Nursing

    I'm 29, pre-nursing, and am still asking myself the same question. I'm going to do my nursing degree, and if I kick myself and want to pursue an MD. title down the road, I will. Only you can make that...

    j_audrey replied to LauraLiz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Our children's hospital has room-ins... it's wonderful, especially if your are taking home a high risk or special needs child. It takes some of the pressure of Mom and Dad, and lets them get used to...

  8. Hi all need school advice asap!! lpn or ma???

    j_audrey replied to chocolategirl's topic in General Nursing

    Do the LPN. I have a friend in my Bios class that paid way to much for her MA and is now going into the nursing program. Don't get me wrong, she likes being an MA, but it does not afford the same...

  9. 1 hr glucose test

    j_audrey replied to swirlygirl's topic in General Nursing

    Don't drink it so fast. I know it's nasty, and it's hard to not want to get it over with, but it will upset your stomach if you do. I've never heard of anyone getting dx'd with GD if they couldn't...

  10. Recently divorced, looking for a fresh start--suggestions please

    j_audrey replied to epidermnurse's topic in General Nursing

  11. Please help me convince my wife that she needs to return to nursing school...

    j_audrey replied to NIGHTWOLF87's topic in General Nursing

    She has every right to be scared. :) I bet if you give her some time and just love her and support her she'll go back when she is ready. It's hard to deal with the emotional aftershocks of a bad...

    j_audrey replied to CNAcollegestudent's topic in General Nursing

    I have a 4.0 GPA- have not done A&P yet, doing my CNA and TEAS this summer. I was told there is no way to get into the program without A&P, and you would not succeed in the program without it....

  13. Iowa Western Community College vs. Metro Community College

    j_audrey replied to CNAcollegestudent's topic in General Nursing

    How did you manage to get in without the core classes being done? Were you on the waitlist? Did you have a previous bachelor degree? I guess I am confused.

  14. How are things with your home life while in school?

    j_audrey replied to j_audrey's topic in General Students

    I actually called and made an appointment to go speak to someone today. I need it for me to be able to

  15. Is shadowing beneficial?

    j_audrey posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just a quick question- Do you feel shadowing a nurse before starting your nursing program would have been beneficial? My Facility has this option, and I just applied today to shadow. I wanted to be...

  18. Is your unit hiring new grads???

    j_audrey replied to sunshineyday's topic in General Nursing

    Second that... our facility is for sure. I think because we don't have as many nursing programs to churn out as many grads for the region we are in. (Edited to add) Plus, we have Cancer Centers and...

  20. Army vet billed $3,000 for war wounds

    j_audrey replied to Valerie Salva's topic in General Nursing

    It's the red tape machine again. I would have had to tell him the VA wouldn't pay his bill if he had come to my facility... I'm glad Sen. Brown stepped in. I agree... it's

  21. Is the NICU right for me?

    j_audrey posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Hello! I am a pre nursing student, so this may be a little premature to be asking, but I tend to think things through very early. :) My dream is to be a nurse in the NICU. I have been think about this...

  22. Apollo College RN bridge program

    j_audrey replied to eurolpn2007's topic in General Nursing

    Quick question on this same vein... Does Apollo offer both the LPN and RN? The website makes it sound like it's only the LPN program at the Boise

  25. Nurses Capes

    j_audrey replied to smilealot's topic in General Nursing

    As much as I think that idea is so very cool (my xMIL has her cape, and her class picture was beautiful), I have to agree that people are not going to want to sew them, and may not want to buy them....
