    Sesame Street Breastfeeding: Moms Push To Bring Nursing Back To TV Show

    lrobinson5 replied to lrobinson5's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would have to say that the reactions to breastfeeding appearing on Sesame Street are extremely negative. Some people that posted comments on Huffington Post were throwing around the "Ew, it's...

    Has anyone ever seen a surgery?

    lrobinson5 replied to kdbean530's topic in General Students

    I think the main reason I wouldn't want to be an OR nurse is that there isn't much to do other than record. The hospitals in my area (and possibly many more) don't train RN's to assist anymore. They...

    Has anyone ever seen a surgery?

    lrobinson5 replied to kdbean530's topic in General Students

    My OR rotation was awesome! And by awesome I mean terrifying lol. My first surgery was a gunshot wound to the chest. Went in and was embedded in R scapula. They never could get it out, so they ended...

    Microbiology and anatomy 2 is it smart to take at the same time in one semester

    lrobinson5 replied to foxycats's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would not take them together because of personal experience. I made an 'A' in A&P I, and the next semester I took A&P II, Microbiology, and English 1B at the same time. I ended up getting a...

    I have questions about RN Program At Everest College in Ontario

    lrobinson5 replied to KidneyDonerMommy's topic in California Nursing

    I'm glad that you got in! I just hate to see people paying so much for their education. I know it is tough to get in to nursing school right now, I was just suggesting to the OP to look in to a CC...

    On salary.com it shows a range of salaries, so if you assume that you are on the lower end of the spectrum (new grad) it could be

    I have questions about RN Program At Everest College in Ontario

    lrobinson5 replied to KidneyDonerMommy's topic in California Nursing

    Yeah, definitely the wrong place to post this, Everest is in California. The $83,000 tuition she is referring to is what she would pay for West Coast University, and that is AFTER financial aid! A...

    I know that salary.com reports wages based on zip codes, I'm just not sure how accurate it is. It might give you a rough estimate. Good

    Anyone else feel like they got "shafted" in clinicals?

    lrobinson5 replied to forgop's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think it is ridiculous for an instructor to take away that opportunity based on your gender, and I am very sorry it happened. I get pretty ticked off when people make a huge fuss about male nurses,...

    Loma Linda University vs. Pacific Union College

    lrobinson5 replied to seestrada1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    the above post might be a little confusing. loma linda does have a bsn program for those without a previous degree/rn license. the only catch is that they do not offer any prerequisite courses at llu,...

    lrobinson5 replied to Ranaynay's topic in California Nursing

    I actually went to Riverside Community College's EMT program over the summer. (Now it is Riverside CITY college, though it is no different course-wise ) I loved my time there. They run it like an...

    Need Shoe Advice From Nursing Students

    lrobinson5 replied to mrsjbrent06's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Skechers shape-ups have a line of work shoes that come in either all black or all white. I bought a pair of mary jane shape ups that are VERY comfortable. I found them at a clearance store at the mall...

    College credit from High School?

    lrobinson5 replied to Mommy2be's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Keep in mind colleges also have placement tests. At least at my school it doesn't matter what level you went up to in HS. If you took Calculus in high school, but only placed into intermediate...

    "Nurses Are So Mean"

    lrobinson5 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So true! In nursing school it seems that everyone has a different label for instructors and RNs at clinical sites. I think I have loved almost every instructor/RN that people would call rude/mean or...

    Does your class have a facebook page?

    lrobinson5 replied to RedChair's topic in General Students

    If you set up rules and have someone oversee it, I think it is a great idea. We have a facebook page and it is mostly used to share news/jokes and also fundraising and event information. The group is...

    CRNA, skipping the ICU?

    lrobinson5 replied to ChristineAdrianaRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    ckh23 is right. I have never seen a place accept OR experience. There is the occasional school that accepts ER/PACU but nearly all of them require ICU experience (and they are picky about which type...
