  1. Did you always want to be a nurse?

    Divest posted a topic in General Nursing

    (Title) Did you always want to be a nurse? I mean, when you were little, did you dream of becoming a nurse? Was this what you day dreamed about while you were in High School? Did you always know this...

  2. Citrus College LVN Program (Introduction to Health Occupations Prerequisite)

    Divest posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Before I entered this program there was little to no information on this site for the Citrus College (Glendora, CA) LVN program so I will take it upon myself to give as much information as possible...

  3. Is Nursing Right For ME?

    Divest posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can be lazy, inefficient, and absent minded at times. Those are my cons, but they do play a huge role. Every once and awhile I just need to space out for a few minutes and relax, and I tend to do...

  4. Working through LVN school?

    Divest posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Has anyone done this? Is it possible? I'm currently not working but I fear that my finances may run out sometime in the middle of my nursing program and I'm wondering how difficult it is to at least...

  5. Nervous about retaking pharm

    Divest replied to Geminichilde's topic in General Students

    What about talking to the students who were successful and asking them about their strategies? It sucks that you've got a bumbling instructor, I'm dealing with one of those myself and it's a pain to...

  6. Working through LVN school?

    Divest replied to Divest's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hey, thanks for the reply! How many hours did you work per week? Did you work full-time? Just

  7. What's your method of madness? Study tricks???

    Divest replied to mmccool719's topic in General Students

    TONS of flashcards. I don't care what type of learner you are, where you come from, what you're studying, what you look like, what kind of music you listen to, or what color your face turns when you...

  8. Nervous about retaking pharm

    Divest replied to Geminichilde's topic in General Students

    75% isn't that bad. Study, study, study. You didn't really mention how much you studied before so I'm going to assume it wasn't as much as you should have. Going to class is only 20% of the battle....

  10. When do you think this hiring freeze will end?

    Divest posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know it's nearly impossible to give an accurate answer, but I would like to know everyone's opinions on how long they think this is going to go on for, or if this hiring freeze is permanent and that...

  11. When do you think this hiring freeze will end?

    Divest replied to Divest's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. He's in exactly the same area as I. He's just uninformed, that's

  12. When do you think this hiring freeze will end?

    Divest replied to Divest's topic in General Nursing

    The Inland Empire is in Southern California, more specifically Riverside and San Bernardino County. Typically, Inland Empire means Riverside, Temecula, Moreno Valley, Perris, Murrieta, etc. etc. I...

  13. When do you think this hiring freeze will end?

    Divest replied to Divest's topic in General Nursing

    Easy for RN's to get a job? What alternate universe are you living in? Maybe you just haven't spent enough time reading the threads on this site, but what you said just simply isn't true. Times are...

  14. Whats a good online RN-BSN program?

    Divest replied to Misty1's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Most credits earned through online schools are non-transferable to any other school. So if you're looking to transfer those UOP credits to any other school to get in... good

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

    Divest posted a topic in General Students

    Just wondering. At least here in California, there's lengthy waitlists or lotteries which don't guarantee admission into a direct RN program. Plus, let's assume that someone doesn't have their...

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

    Divest replied to Divest's topic in General Students

    Yeah I've read through your posts and I'm still not entirely convinced. Going for my LVN first gives me a few options: 1) Working through nursing school -- I can't afford not to work. Being an LVN...

  17. Any Life Care Planners out there???

    Divest replied to 28andcountn's topic in General Nursing

    Here what I turned up from a google search, but I'm not entirely sure if this is what she's talking

  18. I violated HIPAA while talking about the news!

    Divest replied to KarynicaRN's topic in General Nursing

    What you said pretty much undermines the whole point of that particular part of the post. I agree that that specific word may or may not be true about him, but the point is that it's specifically used...

  19. Level of intelligence

    Divest posted a topic in General Nursing

    Going through nursing school, I have to say that it's overwhelming. They throw a ton of information at you all at once, most of which aren't on the exams (they don't tell you what information will be...

  20. Something that tick me off....

    Divest replied to Sensoria17's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You can't blame people just trying to make ends meet. You don't know their financial situation and they probably need the money. Everyone is just trying to survive and those people who are holding...

  21. I violated HIPAA while talking about the news!

    Divest replied to KarynicaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe she didn't mean it literally, but was trying to bug you. In this particular instance, I don't know who to trust. You seem to discredit her by saying that she's a drug user and an alcoholic and...

  22. What the heck is the matter with my Cnas?

    Divest replied to JavaMama98's topic in First Year After Licensure

    mrsshifflette09, a couple of things: 1) She clearly explained her situation and the way she used the term "My CNA's." You know for a fact that it's a much shorter version of saying "So the CNA's whom...

  23. Smells

    Divest posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Alright, here's the deal. I'm pretty desensitized when it comes to visual nasties. I'm okay with seeing just about the most disgusting things in the world, I'm completely unphased. I have no problem...

  24. Womens interest in male nurses

    God I can't wait to become a

  25. Eating When You Are Not Hungry

    Divest replied to Birdcarver's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I, too, have a problem with over-eating. It doesn't have so much to do with being self-depreciative, but rather from lack of self-control. I have an addictive personality. When I say that, it's really...
