  1. Becoming a Certified Nurse-Midwife

    JP2011 replied to Zack Pomerleau's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

  4. texting at work

    JP2011 replied to questionsforall's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Your reply clearly illustrates your misunderstanding that I have no problem doing what I feel like doing in my free time as long as patient care is not lowered. I didn't take offense to this, it just...

    JP2011 replied to questionsforall's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  6. texting at work

    JP2011 replied to questionsforall's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm not offended because your truth is not my truth. EDITED TO REMOVE A LOT OF TEXT. I will just say I don't care what anyone thinks. I will continue to provide excellent patient care, and text or...

  7. texting at work

    JP2011 replied to questionsforall's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    JP2011 replied to camjones's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I know 5 people who took the TEAS. They all passed. My hold up for the program was passing Anatomy (which I finally did with a 3.8 after a ridiculous number of attempts, I was never good at studying.)...

  13. Schoolcraft Nursing Program

    JP2011 replied to camjones's topic in Michigan Nursing

    YIKES. I know it is not Schoolcraft's fault but this whole waiting list thing everywhere is very discouraging. I'm just glad I have a guaranteed start

  14. Schoolcraft Nursing Program

    JP2011 replied to camjones's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Good luck with the 2010. I was accepted for 2011, I'm hoping to get moved up. The TEAS waiting list is backed up to June 2010 already. It takes them about 1 - 2 months to send an acceptance letter so...

    JP2011 replied to aarin80's topic in Michigan Nursing

    JP2011 replied to kangamangus's topic in General Students

    This is nursing school, I wouldn't want a nurse taking care of me if he could just sail through with nothing required except for hearing a lecture in class and taking a test. I've never experienced it...

  18. texting at work

    JP2011 replied to questionsforall's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Wow a lot of angry people on this board. My floor has a policy about no cell phones. They are supposed to be off at all times. This is unpractical. Co-workers (RN, MD & PCA) usually text between...

  20. keeping LPN license after RN

    JP2011 replied to ivorygirl623's topic in General Nursing

    It may be possible, but why would you want to? If you want to be an LPN, don't go to RN school. I know in Michigan if you hold a CNA license and you become a LPN or RN you can never work as a CNA...
