  1. Disecting Cats

    RedSox33RN replied to DeanG's topic in General Students

    Good for you! I've never dissected an animal for A&P either. There was a big "uproar" at one of the high schools around here a couple years ago, with students refusing to dissect any fetal pigs...

  2. Stethoscope Cost

    RedSox33RN replied to Rivs's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I got a Littmann Classic II SE for about $70 from allheart. I also got my 8yo son a cheapy on eBay (because he wants to be a doc, and LOVED my steth a little TOO much - especially at that price!) for...

  3. Layoffs tomorrow!

    RedSox33RN replied to RNKitty's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you guys don't mind me asking some dumb questions, but this thread brought some up for me, and being a brand-spankin' new nursing student, I have yet to find out the answers. Of the layoffs,...

  4. Anxiety Before Nursing Shool

    RedSox33RN replied to lcs4cats's topic in General Students

    You sound EXACTLY like me. I fret over less than a 3.8 in any class. It's ridiculous, I know, but it's like I have to prove to myself that I can do it. I was not a good student in HS, because I...

  5. Do I need to take A&P I and II at the same school?

    RedSox33RN replied to rhp123's topic in General Students

    The school I'm attending now did not have a problem with my taking A&P1 elsewhere. The only thing they wanted to be sure of was that it was a 4 credit course w/lab. They did tell me though that...

  6. New or Student Nurses-how long did U wait

    RedSox33RN replied to FinallyORrn's topic in General Nursing

    The community colleges in my state have LONG wait times to get in - some don't even have waitlists, and make applicants re-apply each year. The private colleges are much more expensive, but have less...

  7. How far as too far to drive to college? how far would you drive ?

    RedSox33RN replied to azebe00's topic in General Nursing

    My drive is over an hour, without traffic. Since I'm travelling from the boondocks to the city, I'll be dealing with traffic also, come September. But like someone said, it is relative. I have no...

  8. Prescription drug addiction?

    RedSox33RN replied to All_Smiles_RN's topic in General Nursing

    What a sad situation. It is true that her doctor will not discuss her situation with you, but that should not prevent you from calling the doc and telling her YOUR feelings about what is going on. I...

  9. Why would they ask if I have kids????

    RedSox33RN replied to Maggie in NC's topic in General Nursing

    I went on two nursing school interviews in February, and only one was I asked if I had children. I answered the question indirectly, and admit I "prepared" my answer beforehand, by saying that I have...

  10. CNA courses?

    RedSox33RN replied to cnelle101's topic in General Nursing

    You could go to http://www.redcross.org and find the place nearest to you. Hope that helps!

  11. Anyone use dial-up ISP?

    RedSox33RN replied to Baby Catcher's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Are you sure there is no DSL? I live in a very rural area, on a way-far-out-from-our-one-horse-town on a dirt road, and 6 months ago Verizon told me I COULD get DSL. I switched immediately. Be sure...

  12. St. Josephs entrance exam?

    RedSox33RN replied to Bruucebuff's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to Riv starting in September for the RN program. I'm so excitednervousscared! I looked into the LPN program at Keene also. I met some of the students when I was hospitalized in...

  13. require to take SAT if you're nontraditional studnet?

    RedSox33RN replied to azebe00's topic in General Nursing

    I did not have to take the SAT's either, but at the CC I was attending, if anyone was non-traditional AND had "C"'s and above in HS in Algebra and Chemistry, then they did not need to take the SAT's....

  14. How do you pick your clinical assignment?

    RedSox33RN replied to HyperRNRachel's topic in General Students

    Are you at NHTI, Judith? I wasn't sure how they did things there. I'm attending the Riv in September. I know they have a multitude of clinical sites, including many in MA, and we can request not to...

  15. Story on Oprah: Cradle Rape

    RedSox33RN replied to NannaNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely agree with you Theresa. The absence of any government involvement, not only in the AIDS crisis but also things like female genital mutilation, the degradation of women as a whole, etc....

  16. About skipping the last clinical

    RedSox33RN replied to HyperRNRachel's topic in General Students

    Not having been in clinical yet, I'm not sure of my school's policy, but I can understand how bad it would look if so many of you called in sick on the last day. Maybe the nurses even have a little...

  17. After ten agonizing days of torture....

    RedSox33RN replied to PaulMedik's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    yipppeee!!

  18. I'm an R.N.!

    RedSox33RN replied to sox04's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    awesome!!!

  19. Text Books

    RedSox33RN replied to LouisianaNurse2006's topic in General Students

    I've bought a few off of eBay, already saving about $50 for the 3 I've gotten so far (compared to the used prices at my school bookstore). I hadn't heard Half.com was closing

  20. Who the H*LL invented this test anyway!!! :(

    RedSox33RN replied to monie2004's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    LOL, RN Kitty! I'm sorry you had such a terrible test experience. Hopefully, like the others said, it means you passed with flying colors.

  21. Got my new shoes!! Feet feel great!!

    RedSox33RN replied to kkbaroness's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thanks for the info! I got some Nursemates sneaker-y looking things, and if those don't work, I'll try the Dansko's. I have lower back problems - it just aches when I'm on my feet just standing...

  22. Does anyone double-glove?

    RedSox33RN replied to NewEnglandRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is an interesting thread. I've asked my endo and a few others, but I'd be interested in knowing what practicing RN's thought. I'm an insulin-dependent diabetic, and test my b.s. on my fingers...

  23. Scary thing happened on way to work...

    RedSox33RN replied to jessjoy's topic in General Nursing

    I had panic attacks for many years, and you just described them to a T. They are so, so frightening, even if you KNOW what they are. I know they can be caused by any or no reason at all. Mine were...

  24. comfortable clogs for clinicals???

    RedSox33RN replied to kkbaroness's topic in General Students

    My school does not allow clogs either (for the same reason stated above. They are dangerous while hurrying, etc.). We're not even allowed white sneakers - they must be nursing shoes. I got the...

  25. Littmann Cardiology III where to buy online

    RedSox33RN replied to Jax0408's topic in General Nursing

    Also, if you have time, since you are getting a NICE stethoscope, it would be wise to get it engraved. I forgot to get mine engraved, and people have told me that the nice ones have this bad, bad...
