  3. LPN credits to RN Completion

    vintagemother replied to Rockstar81's topic in LPN to RN

    Can u explain how this attaches to scrubs?! Pretty please?! My thighs don't like it when I put scopes in my pocket!

  6. CNA first then RN?

    vintagemother replied to Dahliadiaz's topic in Nursing Career

    Dhaliadiaz, you've received lots of contradictory advice already, so I'll add yet another opinion based on my experience. I took several RN prerequisites and then attended a 30 day CNA course. I did...

    The white coat clip board was already on my list of things I want for Fall term!! Pink! Engraved! Yes!! I love nursing

  8. Comfortable shoes?

    vintagemother replied to Chickie77's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Blaquechinadoll, I also like Nike free! They are so cute! But my narrow foot doesn't like them. I bought solid black. The white sole scared me. I thought it would get dirty! I did rotate 2 pairs of...

    vintagemother replied to MustangSally005's topic in General Students

    I liked greys anatomy too! Yes, work was a little like that. Yes on the camaraderie and the sexi-Ness! probably TMI. But it was truth for

  10. How much do you print?!

    vintagemother replied to lunalovegood25's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure if i would have splurged on a laser just for school. Mine is a leftover from the days I owned a business pre-nursing school. I think it boils down to convenience. Lasers are expensive. I...

  12. Just a typical day

    vintagemother replied to MustangSally005's topic in General Students

    Good to know I can find hawthorn on Netflix. I also love watching ER. (The old show with George clooney.) I feel nurse Abby paints nurses in a positive

  13. Best planner for nursing school?

    vintagemother replied to stacylethani's topic in General Students

    Not available at the store, but I really adore my "uncalendar". It cost about $20. It's totally customizable with lots of space to write. I even bought my college age daughter one. I think they're...

  14. How much do you print?!

    vintagemother replied to lunalovegood25's topic in General Students

    I printed a ton of stuff my first semester of RN school. (Bridge program so we started at the halfway point) The instructors used power points and I found that studying these was more focused than...

  15. Poll: Nurse and law enforcement couples

    vintagemother replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Since working in this field, I've dated a few security guards. I think because our weird hours align and because we share similar stories about work! 😂 no actual police

  16. Nurses turn to pet therapy

    vintagemother replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    My doggy certainly helps me, if only to feel

  17. It's not my job to pray with you.

    vintagemother replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Can we please stop the Christians vs Muslims debate? Respect is key! I'm Christian. My ex is Muslim. The media spewed such hate toward Muslims that many relatives wrongly assumed many false beliefs...

  18. New Nurse on Paxil

    vintagemother replied to elomi18's topic in Health, Stress Management

    These meds don't get me "high" either. I've taken Ativan .5 prn extreme anxiety and it has a sedating ie makes me sleepy, but it does reduce anxiety symptoms because I'm

  19. Decontamination

    vintagemother replied to jjohnsonga's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Different people handle this differently depending on their exposure and their personal germ-aphobe-ness. As for me, I typically, as long as I wasn't exposed to something super yucky like c-diff,...

  20. Holy cow! My book total is how much?!

    vintagemother replied to MeiDei's topic in General Students

    I just wanted to say that I feel your pain! The books for my for profit Lvn program were $1500, but at least it was included as a line item in the tuition statement. When I was accepted to the bridge...

  23. Help with interview outfit

    vintagemother replied to lrobinson5's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    May I ask what region you live in? I ask because I, a CA native, have never heard this before. However, my daughter, who attends a university in the South (almost East, VA) told me she has been...

  24. How will you pay for nursing school?

    vintagemother replied to Mommyfuturenurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are single and low income, sorry to offend anyone, but I recommend that you apply for welfare. There are several bonuses to this,such as the fact that they will help you get child support from...

  25. New Nurse on Paxil

    vintagemother replied to elomi18's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I just want to chime in and tell you that many nurses deal with anxiety. I think it's a part of our "type A" personalities, which serve us well as nurses. As for me, personally,I was prescribed Paxil...
