  5. I'm infertile...and worried about my OB rotation

    Shanny246 replied to nurse2b013's topic in General Students

    You recently commented on my post (my son Connor passed at 19 months), so I thought I would do the same for you! I know that our situations are different, but losing a child is losing a child, no...

  6. Never give up...I got into nursing school!

    Shanny246 posted a topic in General Students

    WOW! I started this journey of preparing for nursing school back in 2008. I was going to school to be an early childhood education teacher in 2006, and then my son was born. Connor was born...

    Shanny246 replied to Shanny246's topic in General Students

    Thanks Mike! I do not at all feel like you are "downplaying the severity of losing a child"! I have heard that said many many times. Sometimes I feel like it is a bunch of crap...because I miss my...

  8. I can't get into any nursing schools!

    Shanny246 replied to b00ger's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just put a post up "Do not give up...I got into nursing school!". If this is what you REALLY want to do (which it sounds like you do), then do not give up!!!! It WILL happen. I live in NH, and...

  9. Need help..dont know what to do :(

    Shanny246 replied to MC90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At the few schools I have looked into, you have to get a B or better in A&P I and II and in Micro. If you have to, retake the class...it will be worth it! Do not let go of your dream over 1...

  10. Worried about getting into nursing school

    Shanny246 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am really worried about not getting into school. I really want this so bad, and I want to add onto my family as well...but I want to wait to be done with school. I am just worried I won't graduate...

  11. Worried about getting into nursing school

    Shanny246 replied to Shanny246's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I should have been more specific...it is risky for me because I am ALREADY high risk. My first son was born with many medical complications (he passed away before he was 2), so I am scared. I have...

  13. Worried about getting into nursing school

    Shanny246 replied to Shanny246's topic in General Nursing

    No problem...I was more worried that I was offensive to you! I am going for my BSN as I want to work in the NICU at CHB. Thanks for the tip, getting my CNA was something I had planned on doing as...

  14. Worried about getting into nursing school

    Shanny246 replied to Shanny246's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry...I should have been more specific. I am already high risk because my 1st son was born with a lot of medical complications. I have to be seen at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston during...

  15. Worried about getting into nursing school

    Shanny246 replied to Shanny246's topic in General Nursing

  16. Worried about getting into nursing school

    Shanny246 replied to Shanny246's topic in General Nursing

    My GPA is only a 3.24 right now (but I got an A in A&P I and a B+ in A&P II), I am in Micro and Nutrition right now, and plan on getting an A in both, which will bring my GPA up. I want this...

  17. starting Anatomy tomorrow!

    Shanny246 replied to staceym's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely read every chapter, and take notes while you read. Some of my chapters were so long that I had about 20 pages of notes! But I got an A in the class :) Do the online practice quizzes and...

  18. Hooters as Job History...Could this hurt my chances of getting a job?

    Shanny246 replied to AMD88's topic in Nursing Career

    HAHA...I find this kind of funny! If strippers/Media stars are your baseline, then yes...hooters is much better! I think the poster meant that it is not relevant. I would suggest at the top of your...

  19. Is NICU for the soft-hearted sensitive types?

    Shanny246 replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    The more sensitive the better. My son spent a month in the NICU...and was admitted many times (not to the NICU, but to the hospital), the next 19 months till he passed. The nurses that inspired me...

  20. worst death you've seen

    Shanny246 replied to Darkfield's topic in General Nursing

    My son. I wasn't awake when he passed...but I was sleeping on his bedroom floor. He passed away in his sleep peacefully after a 19 month battle with Marshall Smith Syndrome. I cannot think of a...

  22. The moment when you know why you're a nurse

    Shanny246 replied to Darkfield's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a nurse yet...but I will be someday! I can tell you the day I decided it was my calling to be a nurse. My son was born 9.24.06, we did not know he was going to be born with any medical...

  24. Trach tubes popping out of patients

    Shanny246 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Private Duty

    My son used to pull on his trach all the time! He was about 15 months when he pulled it out (only happened once). The scary part is that you cannot see the trach is out because the gauze covers it...

  25. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    Shanny246 replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    I have to absolutely disagree with you here. As a mother of a child who passed away at 19 months, I know what it is like to be the advocate for my child. Did some of the nurses get mad at me when I...
