    What so you think is the biggest problem in Health Care?

    citylights89 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Like some of the others have said in so many words, I think it would be the financial aspect of it. The people at the top of any business seem to get all the perks while the "little men" get near...

    Assessing your cohort

    citylights89 replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    I'm glad that our cohort is very well put together. We did lose about 7 or so people though since the first semester; it's the third semester now. As far as the type of student I am is...

    citylights89 replied to Getreal2011's topic in General Students

    citylights89 replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in General Students

    I'm gonna ask my instructor and see what she says about the pharm class she is supposed to be teaching this semester and its next offering. My friend said that no one in her cohort has taken it either...

    How many of your schools require a pharmacology class?

    citylights89 replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in General Students

    In fact, I went back and looked at the schedule and I couldn't find information about the pharmacology class there. I know my instructor who teaches Med-Surg I said that she is this year and some of...

    How many of your schools require a pharmacology class?

    citylights89 replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in General Students

    I'm going to go ahead and resurrect this forum here. My school doesn't require a Pharmacology class either, although it is offered. However, in our Art & Science of nursing class, we had to make...

    If Nursing doesn't work out,is Medical Lab Technologist ok for a "Prissy" girl ??

    citylights89 replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Nursing Career

    So is this the reason why my mom is having such a hard time finding a job as a phlebotomist, even with over 30 years experience? Even when she does get an offer, its no where near what she is used to...

    Synthroid makes the heart beat faster?

    citylights89 replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I finally filled my prescription and started the med today...on my birthday of all days! We'll see what happens. So far so good, but I know it takes awhile. I have to take my iron later today

    Synthroid makes the heart beat faster?

    citylights89 replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I've been looking, but I can't find any information on how long it takes for hypothyroidism to take effect. Does anyone know? I possess none of the symptoms. When I feel tired, it could be debated...

    First week of school! :-)

    citylights89 replied to CrazziiRN913's topic in General Students

    I remember when I was typing in a thread similar to this a year ago when I first started school. A year later and I'm still here, after much stress, heartache, and near change of major. Hanging on...

    Synthroid makes the heart beat faster?

    citylights89 replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Shoot, I want to know too because I'm supposed to be taking Synthroid and have been putting it off! Not good for a future nurse, but I'm just so skeptical of taking some artificial substance for the...

    What the heck is up with nursing school tests??!!

    citylights89 posted a topic in General Students

    OK, I just had my first test of my second semester of nursing school. I was thinking that maybe things will be new and the faculty will learn how to write a decent, straight forward test this time,...

    How did everyone do this semester?

    citylights89 posted a topic in General Students

    Just wondering how did everyone finish out the semester. I managed to get through my seconds semester with 3 As and 1 B. It helps that only 2 were nursing courses and other 2 were general education!...

    How did everyone do this semester?

    citylights89 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    I'm happy to see that everyone is doing so well! This semester was difficult for me too because of one particular class. With all the struggle, I'm glad to have made a B in it. I think my lab grades...

    What the heck is up with nursing school tests??!!

    citylights89 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Got the final grades in on Friday. I ended up making a B in The Art and Science of Nursing (the class I bemoaned about here) and an A in the other nursing course. I also made an A in two other general...

    What the heck is up with nursing school tests??!!

    citylights89 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Luckily, the majority of our final in Art and Science was old questions from previous tests. I remembered what I got wrong, so I got those right. The new questions were a little more straightfoward so...

    Med aides giving insulin

    citylights89 replied to smarti15's topic in General Nursing

    It's like now they are taking the nurses' scope of practice away in some states to give to lower-paid personnel. I wouldn't want that responsibility if I hadn't been properly instructed on it, but...

    citylights89 replied to semester1kid's topic in General Students

    I always buy online using bigbooks.com. It allows me to look for lowest available price on the internet from major retailers without going to every single site individually. I've just started using...

    citylights89 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    You're right. I am just waiting to see how this semester ends. I know it will only get harder as it goes along. :sigh: My clinical last week went fine, at least I think so. It also depends on how my...

    Do you guys really hate nursing this much?

    citylights89 replied to damaranicole's topic in General Nursing

    And if you get tired of being a nurse, UPS is hiring drivers that make an average of $74k a year. You have to pass the training, though. I only got what I read on Yahoo. You may want to do some more...

    citylights89 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Yea, I think its the grades deal. My grades recently have been a shock to me since I started college. I need to return to my old study habits that worked last semester. I just got lazy. I was able to...

    citylights89 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    That's true. Now I'm thinking about staying. I feel oh so confused. The thing that is keeping me going is that once I finish, get the degree, and get the license I will have pretty much a myriad of...
