  1. Mom thinking about going back to nursing school... NEEDS ENCOURAGEMENT!!!

    livelaughlove09 replied to JenInSchool's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OH MY!! I thought I had it rough! Good luck good luck good luck to you!! And don't give up, I did that once and never thought I would regret it (I had good grades and quit because it was too much)...

  2. Nclex Pass rate for your school

    livelaughlove09 replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in General Students

    I'm confused as to how you can successfully graduate from your program and then be denied the opportunity to sit for your boards. My school has TEAS and I can't remember the GPA requirement but I do...

  3. To the unemployed new grads... what ARE you doing?

    livelaughlove09 replied to BigB_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I totally agree. I packed up my family of 6 and sold my house to move away to attend school. I purposely didn't "settle" here to open up that flexibility. Sure I love it here and would stay but I...

  4. Dear Precepting Student:

    livelaughlove09 replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Students

    Obviously I haven't gotten through every response to this post, but that being said, I am a student nurse. I get what you're saying. Nothing about not being prepared, we're talking someone who...

  5. Dear Precepting Student:

    livelaughlove09 replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Students

    Um...students at the nursing school I attend do start IVs. In the 3rd

  6. What are your study techniques?

    livelaughlove09 replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Students

    I don't know if you got this answered because I'm just skimming through the topics here. I use the actual NCLEX-4000 computer disk and ATI modules our school uses. There are also good books out...

  7. At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

    livelaughlove09 replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I would be allowed to have help turning or moving a patient. We actually had transport/transfer people at the last facility I was in clinical at (on a rehab unit) so they helped me with transfer when...

  8. At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

    livelaughlove09 replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    And also, the CNA's in my state have to be licensed as well. I was able to sit for the licensure test after so many hours of nursing school and clinical but chose not to because I had no desire to...

  9. At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

    livelaughlove09 replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    oh no!!! I hope the CNA's reading these posts don't misconstrue what is being said. The CNA is a VERY important part of the healthcare team and there shouldn't be a nurse 1 that says anything...

  10. At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

    livelaughlove09 replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I agree. I don't believe it is any different in any state. You are not a nurse until you hold a license. A pin is like a pre-engagement ring. Almost but not quite. I became a type of nurse the...

  11. Mom thinking about going back to nursing school... NEEDS ENCOURAGEMENT!!!

    livelaughlove09 replied to JenInSchool's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ahh, I feel you! I'm going it alone too! For the OP, YES, it is totally doable. I went in to school with all my pre reqs done, but I can tell you that I'm a SAHM of 4 children, ages 12, 10, 3 and 2...

  12. Is this too much?

    livelaughlove09 replied to celticmoonwolf's topic in General Students

    Excellent, you'll be fine. I only make the comments about the education because I myself as a brandy newby nursing student said "heyyy I'm really smart, I've never had to study in my life, I've got...

  13. Is this too much?

    livelaughlove09 replied to celticmoonwolf's topic in General Students

    Forget that you have an MBA. Really. :) Nursing school is unlike anything you've ever done. Trust me on this one. I've seen more than one MBA drop out of nursing school. Many more BA's and BS's....

  14. States that offer free nursing education in exchange for working with them

    livelaughlove09 replied to idlasjm's topic in General Students

    are you going for a BSN? If you consider other types of programs, there are hospital affiliated schools that give you loans up front to pay for schooling in exchange for your working for them after...

  15. Calling briefs "diapers"....*vent*

    livelaughlove09 replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Wow. and Wow. 1. You could be the most educated and experienced nurse, open your mouth and lose all credibility. If I were incontinent and a nurse walked in and said we're going to change...

  16. Another nurse bites the dust due to facebook

    livelaughlove09 replied to siringe's topic in Nursing News

    Also, try searching your email address. You'd be surprised what you can find out about someone just by searching their email address (such as forums they belong to, which may or may not be something...

  17. Another nurse bites the dust due to facebook

    livelaughlove09 replied to siringe's topic in Nursing News

    I gave kudos, I wish you could click the kudos button 20 times. This is absolutely rediculous! I think lawyers are bottom feeders (wait...am I allowed to say that??) but they are good for something,...

  18. Another nurse bites the dust due to facebook

    livelaughlove09 replied to siringe's topic in Nursing News

    Actually yeah, they are. Or they're trying to. I feel you. I used to work for the government (city, then county) and it was against policy to have a campaign sign in your yard, whether local or...

  19. Another nurse bites the dust due to facebook

    livelaughlove09 replied to siringe's topic in Nursing News

    Okay, not done reading the posts on this topic yet, but that one struck me and I had to comment. First of all, I'd be picking over every facility policy there was looking for the grounds of that...

  20. Mercy School of Nursing Charlotte - anyone else waiting to hear?

    livelaughlove09 posted a topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone was in this round of applications for Mercy School of Nursing in Charlotte. When I applied for the Oct. 1 deadline (for May admission) it said on the website...

  21. Mercy School of Nursing Charlotte - anyone else waiting to hear?

    livelaughlove09 replied to livelaughlove09's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    My husband thinks I should go to the very first one, which is the 9th, since we'll have to relocate and I'll need to find a house while we're down

  22. Mercy School of Nursing Charlotte - anyone else waiting to hear?

    livelaughlove09 replied to livelaughlove09's topic in North Carolina Nursing

  23. Mercy School of Nursing Charlotte - anyone else waiting to hear?

    livelaughlove09 replied to livelaughlove09's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    So tell me what you are going to do, are you going to attend UNC and wait until you hear from Mercy then drop if accepted? I keep wondering if that's what I should be doing... I just keep thinking...

  24. Mercy School of Nursing Charlotte - anyone else waiting to hear?

    livelaughlove09 replied to livelaughlove09's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm glad someone else posted too. I'm getting frustrated because I threw all my eggs in one basket too, and I'll be relocating as well. I'm kind of at a standstill because of the timing with the...
