  1. Professional/Personal Boundaries?

    Mell Bell replied to chillchick's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. Just the fact that you're questioning whether or not it's professional should tell you that it's probably not. Even with your good intentions, it's just crossing that

  2. Curious high school student

    Mell Bell replied to chaquana's topic in General Nursing

    It's different for every college, so you should definitely get in contact with the school of nursing at the college you want to attend. There are pre-reqs like English, sociology, phychology,...

  3. Should cancer survivors become nurses?

    Mell Bell replied to psustudent5's topic in General Nursing

    This is an interesting question. Are there any particular carcinogens you are referring to? Personally, I don't think that being a cancer survivor should stop anyone from becoming a nurse, but I do...

  4. Nursing Home Clinical, I'm having a very hard time

    Mell Bell posted a topic in General Students

    The biggest problem for me is the communication. I cannot effectively communicate with most of the residents, especially the one I was assigned. She has quiet, garbled speech and I can't understand...

  5. Nursing Home Clinical, I'm having a very hard time

    Mell Bell replied to Mell Bell's topic in General Students

    Thank you guys so much for your responses. The second day was definitely easier, I'm a little more comfortable, I just have to get in there and be confident (or at least pretend to be!). Talking to...

  6. fri or sat night?

    Mell Bell replied to ajaxgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I'd take the Friday shift. Then you can just get it out of the way and enjoy your whole

  7. "...Nurses are Doctors SKIVVIES"

    Mell Bell replied to studentdan's topic in General Nursing

    I told my gynecologist I was going to be a nurse, and she asked me "why nursing instead of going to med school?". Um, because I don't want to be a doctor? My family asks me the same thing, most...

  8. Is wanting to help people a cliche answer

    Mell Bell replied to esunada's topic in General Nursing

    I had to write an essay for my first nursing class stating why I wanted to be a nurse. I talked about wanting a career where I never stopped learning, and something that would consistently challenge...

  9. NG Tube feeding, I am confused?

    Mell Bell replied to Mell Bell's topic in General Students

    Thank you so much. I think I was getting confused because on the videos I've watched they just use air bolus and skip checking stomach contents all

  10. Seminole State College of Florida (SCC)

    Mell Bell replied to LegacyJS's topic in Florida Nursing

    If you have all your pre-reqs done, your odds are good. Go ahead and apply to a few different schools just to have a better chance of at least getting into one. Check out VCC and Florida Hospital....

  11. Im confused, some quick help

    Mell Bell replied to pilot833's topic in General Students

    1. do most people continue to get their BSN or do most start working??? - I'm actually not sure about this, I don't know the statistics of ADN vs. BSN. You can do either, though, it just depends on...

  12. Im confused, some quick help

    Mell Bell replied to pilot833's topic in General Students

    Once you get your ADN you are qualified to sit for the NCLEX-RN. When you pass, you are a licensed registered nurse. You can then begin working, and/or go on to get your BSN. You need to take the...

  13. Anatomy + Microbiology + work?

    Mell Bell replied to esunada's topic in General Students

    I took microbiology and A+P II at the same time, along with Nutrition and an Intro to Healthcare class. I didn't work, but I definitely think that I could have. I know someone that has 4 classes,...

  14. I am tired of this attitude

    Mell Bell replied to PostOpPrincess's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone has different incentives, and it's not bad to want to further your career and better yourself, doesn't mean those nurses don't care about

  15. Failure to Respond to Jury Summons

    Mell Bell replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    No, I doubt you will have to serve jail time, but you might have to pay a fine. And as others have said, there could be a bench warrant issued for you. To find out the penalties, go to your county...

  16. Failure to Respond to Jury Summons

    Mell Bell replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    I had jury duty during my first year in college, and I postponed 3 times with different reasons because I just didn't want to go. But of course I served eventually, and unless you have a great excuse,...

  17. What color are your school uniforms?

    Mell Bell replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    Ours are white tops with trim around the sleeves in our school colors (gold and blue), blue pants, white shoes. Optional blue jacket. I actually think our uniforms are pretty

    I am a nursing student, and I love hearing patient experiences (good and not so good). Thank you, and I am happy to hear that you are doing

  19. So very mad!!!

    Mell Bell replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    Was it ever confirmed by the OP what the correct answers were according to the professor? I know she put B for #1, and I just don't see how that could be wrong.

  20. So very mad!!!

    Mell Bell replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    I think I would choose B for all as well. Definitely for 1 and 3. The second question is the hardest, I would also call the Dr. and provide comfort measures, but I think that B. respecting the clients...

    I faxed mine, but I'm going to e-mail ***** to make sure it got there, I am so

  23. Seminole State College of Florida (SCC)

    Mell Bell replied to LegacyJS's topic in Florida Nursing

    I ordered the shirt and pants, warm-up jacket, and shoes. Do they want us to buy all those specific supplies, or can we get them anywhere? Also, are we going to be required to wear support

    Mell Bell replied to LegacyJS's topic in Florida Nursing

    I hope you had a good time on your cruise!

  25. Science on TEAS test

    Mell Bell replied to acubed's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The science on the test did seem to sort of come out of nowhere, but I wouldn't go buy a geology study guide. I remember my questions on geology being extremely simple, and there were only 2 of them....
