  2. My school uses this textbook for AP1?

    AllSmiles225 replied to TrinaCNA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used the same book for A&P and in the front there is what looks like a cd holder but there is only a white piece of paper in it. That piece of paper has codes for their online test bank. USE IT!...

  4. Nurses love DRAMA???

    AllSmiles225 replied to Missy89's topic in General Students

    For the most part were all Type A personalities, driven by the need for perfection. Sometimes when things don't go our way it is handled in the wrong manner. Plus, it is a female dominated profession...

  5. Interview questions : Inappropriate or illegal ?

    AllSmiles225 replied to WarmBlanket's topic in General Nursing

    Completely illegal. It is against the federal EEO (equal employment opportunity) Act. It states "Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), which prohibits employment discrimination based...

  6. Ideas for a clinical "cheat sheet" ?

    AllSmiles225 replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

  7. Grr! "Customer Service" Nursing Gone Crazy!

    AllSmiles225 replied to KaseyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    AllSmiles225 replied to HollieLPN09's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Make sure to always have a copy of your schedule that way you have legs to stand on when something like this happens because it will happen

  9. Questions about working PRN

    AllSmiles225 replied to Pegasus65's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am also a per diem employee. At my facility there are no per diem requirements as far as minimum shifts or holiday requirements. I fill out a calendar that I hand over once a month and they schedule...

  10. How do you handle cheaters?

    AllSmiles225 posted a topic in General Students

    Alright here is the story in as short and brief terms as possible. One of my classes is taught in a lecture auditorium with about 90 seats and 72 students. Exams are given in this auditorium. It...

  11. Per Diem Nursing

    AllSmiles225 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Okay here's the story. I work "per diem" at my facility. I work every weekend without fail. In the summertime I pick up extra shifts during the week while I'm out of school, but I cut it down to...

  12. How do you handle cheaters?

    AllSmiles225 replied to AllSmiles225's topic in General Students

    As I can see this has become a heated topic let me clarify a few things. I've been through one nursing school before so I do know about being in school and allowing some things to roll off of your...

  13. CPR on bed.

    AllSmiles225 replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard of any care facility that housed patients without Advanced directives that did not have a crash cart. What are you going to do when somebody codes? Stand there because you don't have...

  14. Were you CPR certified before you applied?

    AllSmiles225 replied to mell260's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    BLS for healthcare providers is usually about 4 hours. It wasn't required at my school until we started clinicals. I don't know where you are in your education but our fall semester of sophomore year...

  17. Is it HORRIBLE to get C's on a test?

    AllSmiles225 replied to scndglancee's topic in General Students

    If you get less than a C+ where I go to school (77.5%) you're out of the program. So are C's bad? I guess it depends on what your program requirements

  18. Something said to me in class.....

    AllSmiles225 replied to Hopeful3's topic in General Students

    In specialty areas like those where you are dealing with terminally ill children the nurse must have tact. She must be able to realize "YES this child is going to die, but what can I do to make...

  19. So Confused!

    AllSmiles225 replied to 2nursehopefuls's topic in General Students

    I have found that many schools who are CCNE accredited (a national accrediting body) will NOT accept credits for continuing education if you hold a degree from a school WITHOUT a CCNE accreditation or...

  20. Hate the evening shift

    AllSmiles225 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I work in a sub-acute rehab unit as an LPN. I only recently graduated and obtained my license. When accepting the position that I currently have I agreed to work as a per diem nurse--but quickly...

  21. Is it too much to ask?

    AllSmiles225 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry I'm going to get flamed for posting this..but I just have to vent. I start my BSN program in a little over a week and we had orientation a few days ago. (yipee) Our first semester consists...

  22. Is it too much to ask?

    AllSmiles225 replied to AllSmiles225's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's safe to assume that they probably don't check their email either.

  23. Is it too much to ask?

    AllSmiles225 replied to AllSmiles225's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can agree with what YOU are saying about how you learn--however teachers have specifically notified us via email that all homework assignments will be completed from the

  24. Hate the evening shift

    AllSmiles225 replied to AllSmiles225's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you for all the replies and advice. I like the idea of maybe working a double 2 days/week. I think I am just afraid because jobs are so minimal around here right now that I don't want to "open a...

  25. Why is LVN to RN a waste of time?

    AllSmiles225 replied to Divest's topic in General Students

    I am an LPN and also an RN student. I chose to start from scratch and NOT go LPN-RN. This was purely my decision based on what I thought was best for me. Basically what happens is before you get...
