  1. BIO 202 at RIO (online)?

    smileyperson replied to RobynBobbin's topic in Arizona Nursing

    FYI, submitting the same assignments in 2 different classes is considered plagiarism by Rio Salado's policies... it sounds like you got away with it, but I wouldn't be talking about it online....

  2. I'm a Returning Military Vet with PTSD....Can I become a nurse?

    smileyperson replied to codyerin's topic in Men in Nursing

    I suppose it depends on your symptoms. Do you have bursts of anger? The first one you have at work towards a pt, you are DONE. Any drug abuse? The first time you come up dirty on a UA, you are...

  3. Army Nursing

    smileyperson replied to maestrotee's topic in General Nursing

    1. Recruiters lie. Even if you 'get it in writing' that is no guarantee. in reality, you'll get placed wherever they need an RN. 2. Consider you might end up doing a tour in Iraq or Trashcanistan....

  4. How likely is it as a new nursing grad I'd have to work nights?

    smileyperson replied to honeymist's topic in General Nursing

    It's not that bad after about a week. Take your 3mg melatonin every morning before you go to bed. Invest in a sleep mask or blackout curtains. It helps some people adjust. The worst is when you get...

  5. how many use the line when giving shots to women?

    smileyperson replied to ItsTheDude's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I wouldn't say that to anyone. First of all, it's only marginally humorous. Secondly, eventually you're going to get in trouble when you say it to the wrong

  6. Charting for another nurse

    smileyperson replied to mominsd's topic in General Nursing

    We have been told in school that you can chart for someone else in rare circumstances. If another nurse calls you after they have gone home for the day and asks you to add something they forgot to...

  7. Scared to death I am going to lose my license

    smileyperson replied to tolerantgirl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What you have is a lack of self confidence and assertiveness. If someone needs to know the information you are trying to communicate, and they are busy jacking their jaw or not paying attention, then...

    smileyperson replied to Candyy's topic in General Nursing

    Well, soon you will be 60, then 70, 80, and eventually you will be dead. Do it now if it's something you want to do. Put together your plan and execute on it. I have several people in my class who are...

    smileyperson replied to nurse2b83's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hey Dolphin, glad to 'meet' you! I am doing BIO 201, 202, and 205 online through Rio Salado. I'm doing CHM130 and BIO156 online with them too. I just need those 5 classes by the time I graduate, in...

  11. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    smileyperson replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What school is this? I researched many programs. There is often no written requirement for clinical experience, so those 4.0 undergrads can slide in to their master's program right away, but after...

    smileyperson replied to nurse2b83's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I started the LPN program at MSC last month, so I am in "Block A", which is the ungraded pass/fail "weed out" portion of the program. We are studying Nutrition, A&P, medical terminology, math,...
