  1. Nursing School Bloopers

    StarNurse2006 replied to Jabber964's topic in Nursing Humor

    Not exactly "nursing" related, but it happened at clinicals... One of my classmates comes and finds me in a patient's room and tells me that several nurses/CNAs from the facility have been asking...

  2. Where were u 9/11/01?

    StarNurse2006 replied to k_cole21's topic in General Nursing

    It amazes me, how even 5 years later, we all need to tell our stories. There is something about it that unites us as Americans. I live on the West Coast, so the events of that day were already taking...

  3. Night/Weekend LVN Programs in SoCal?

    StarNurse2006 replied to chuchie's topic in California Nursing

    I am currently attending Concorde in San Bernardino...Tues-Weds-Thurs nights from 6-10, and all day Saturday. The next night/weekend program starts in May 2007...but it fills up

  4. Thank you's - memorable ones you've received?

    StarNurse2006 replied to Liddle Noodnik's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What a wonderful thread! I have really enjoyed reading everyone's stories! I just had my first clinical today and it's nice to know that even as a student you can make a difference...a sweet little...

  5. California Community Colleges

    StarNurse2006 posted a topic in California Nursing

    Hi all, I am currently attending a community college here in CA, finishing up pre-reqs so I can apply to the nursing program late this year. Can anyone point me in the direction of a CC that has any...

  6. male labor and delivery nurses

    StarNurse2006 replied to booluvstrains's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just wanted to say...it really is odd how women are uncomfortable with a male nurse in L&D but don't think twice about having a male OB-GYN. I can see choosing a female doctor or midwife, but all...

  7. What squicks you out?

    StarNurse2006 replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    I second that! Working as a CNA, I walked by a room with a trach patient that was in desperate need of suctioning...I told his nurse while running as fast and far as possible...I cannot stand the...

  8. How do I provide the care the residents need in such little time?

    StarNurse2006 replied to December716's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    To the OP, I completely understand your concerns and fears. I worked as a CNA in a SNF on day shift (which is the busiest, and I have worked all shifts!) and when I first started it was HARD! TIME...

  9. Mom's And Nursing School

    StarNurse2006 replied to brandy119's topic in General Nursing

  10. Anyone ever attempted Micro and Chem.....

    StarNurse2006 replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Jasmine- Thank you for the info...it would be great to know of someone else taking the class. I went back on to CCCOnline and I see that BIO 208 - General Micro is avaliable, but the class I am...

  11. Anyone ever attempted Micro and Chem.....

    StarNurse2006 replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Jasmine- Sorry this doesn't answer your question, but I was wondering where you saw Micro on CCC's Fall schedule, because I couldn't find it anywhere and I need to take it - I went ahead and...

  12. RN wannabe, still @ junior college, needs tons of help!

    StarNurse2006 replied to AstrelONE's topic in General Nursing

    Astrel, I am a Cali native, currently living in Colorado, but here's a thought. I believe there is a Concorde Career Institute in North Hollywood. Concorde has an LVN program that is a year long,...

  13. Fetal Demise less than 20 weeks

    StarNurse2006 replied to SC RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I believe that the choice to remain on an OB unit or be transferred is ultimately up to the mother. My Mom experienced 2 stillbirths, and with my sister (the second) I was her labor coach and...

  14. New Student Help????

    StarNurse2006 replied to sweetmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there, Looks like we are in pretty much the same situation, I am also a single Mom of 2, going for my LPN in August at a vocational school, with a total cost of about $21,000. I also have a AA in...

  15. OB nurses, what do you do in adoption situations?

    StarNurse2006 replied to estrogen's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I worked in PP as a CNA, and we had one mother who had twins (2 GORGEOUS baby boys, absolutely the most beautiful babies I had ever seen) and was giving them up for adoption. She had a CS and was...

  16. I can't wait because . . .

    StarNurse2006 replied to elizabells's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I guess I'm a big nerd too, because I can't wait to LEARN! I really just feel the need to learn everything I can. I'm also anxious to start because once I'm into it, I know that I'll be...

  17. Reward system for hardworking CNA's..need help!

    StarNurse2006 replied to NurseWiggins's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Kristi- I think what you want to do is great! Someone mentioned little cards that everyone can fill out for each other, and I worked at a large retail store that did something like this. If I...

  18. NET Test Preparation

    StarNurse2006 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi all, I am taking the NET test in June and I'm looking for any books or websites that would help me prepare. I looked on Amazon.com and came away more confused than ever...it seems that no one...

  19. NET Test Preparation

    StarNurse2006 replied to StarNurse2006's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Dianne- Thank you so much, I would actually take anything I can get my hands on to study, and math is really my weak area. Please e-mail me at [email protected]. Thanks again!

  20. Loopus disease

    StarNurse2006 replied to ncolvin1's topic in General Nursing

    Good one Sandi! You made me laugh out loud, and believe me, I needed

  21. Use of IUD- opinions wanted

    StarNurse2006 replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    I have had my IUD for a little over 2 years, since the birth of my second child. The pill does not work for me (that's why I have 2 kids!) and it caused a lot of terrible side effects. I don't need...

  22. Want to transfer to L&D/PP as a CNA

    StarNurse2006 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi all! I am a CNA on a skilled nursing unit. I am also a student hoping to enter a local nursing program next year. I have known for some time that I wanted to work L&D when I graduate. I...

  23. Want to transfer to L&D/PP as a CNA

    StarNurse2006 replied to StarNurse2006's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks Bets and Cabbage Patch, I appreciate your responses! I was so impressed by the team (especially the HUC, who is also a CNA) that I felt a bit intimidated as far as my knowledge went. I guess...

  24. Did anyone take Medical Terminology course?

    StarNurse2006 replied to RedSox33RN's topic in General Students

    For those of you who have taken or are currently taking MT online, where are you taking the classes through? I would like to knock this class out of the way, possibly during the summer. Please post...

  25. Any CNA's out there?

    StarNurse2006 replied to scottishlady's topic in General Nursing

    Hi all! I have been a CNA for a few months, I am looking to get into nursing school early next year. I love being a CNA! :) It's great to see other CNAs on
