  1. Just starting out. Advice?

    orrnlori replied to Steph in Boston's topic in Nursing Career

    It will give you a better idea than if you were a secretary, sure. You are 20 years old, a baby really, please don't be offended. You have plenty of time to figure things out for yourself. It's the...

  2. soc.bs to bsn difficulty level?

    orrnlori replied to pumpkinpie's topic in Nursing Career

    Re: difficulty of nursing school. I think you need to just read the posts in the student nursing section. You will see it runs the gamut. It can be done. I was 39 and only had a high school...

  3. Is there room for sensitive individuals in Nursing?

    orrnlori replied to nursing6's topic in Nursing Career

    I think you are doing the right thing by investigating if you will like nursing. The problem is that it's hard to tell until you've been working as a nurse. It's not at all what I thought it would...

  4. Just starting out. Advice?

    orrnlori replied to Steph in Boston's topic in Nursing Career

    I think you are comparing apples to oranges. Being a CNA is not being a nurse, though you'll see a lot. I too was very disappointed when I became a nurse and started working in a trauma step down...

  5. Student Nurse/NO Experience

    orrnlori replied to prairiegirl's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Susan - Glad to meet another ex-banker, there are several of us on this site and several devoted Scottie lovers as well! Good luck with

  6. Student Nurse/NO Experience

    orrnlori replied to prairiegirl's topic in General Nursing

    This is just my opinon. I think working as a CNA prior to becoming a nurse is way overblown. What it WILL do though is get you used to touching and handling patients. I was a banker for 20 years...

  7. National Deans List??

    orrnlori replied to Achoo!'s topic in General Students

    For young nursing students, you need to think about your resume. When you get out you will need to stress your school accomplishments because you don't have any experience. You don't HAVE to buy any...

  8. National Deans List??

    orrnlori replied to Achoo!'s topic in General Students

    But sent it in, you don't have to buy the book. But it gives you the right to put that on your resume!!!!!!!! Looks good to a prospective

  9. University of Wyoming Online

    orrnlori replied to princess_j's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If I am accepted in this winter then I will not obtain the BSN. I will be completing 4 of their BSN classes because they are required prior to starting the MSN in August 2005. If I don't get in in...

  10. Looking for some quotes for our pinning ceremony.....

    orrnlori replied to WI-RN2be's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes you just have to make the leap and build your wings on the way down. Don't know the author. We used this quote at our pinning ceremony when recognizing the instructors for all their hard...

  11. University of Wyoming Online

    orrnlori replied to princess_j's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi Paula - Well, I work at the University of Kentucky Medical Center and there are no bigger snobs about higher education than hospitals attached to universities. BUT, I've also found that a BSN is a...

  12. Chat room

    orrnlori replied to Shapeless's topic in General Nursing

    Chat rooms work best if there are stated times during the week to gather. I used to belong to a board that had scheduled chats Sundays at 7:30 pm and Wednesdays at 9:00 pm. We always had a ball and...

    orrnlori replied to Clarvina Streisand's topic in General Nursing

  14. homecare nursing

    orrnlori replied to interested's topic in General Nursing

    I might be, I very much like some of the surgeons I work with. But when I think of home health care I think of the stories I've heard from nurses who did it for a while. Their stories are full of...

  15. What if all docs had to nurses first?????

    orrnlori replied to MryRose's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, we call them "fresh meat". You are right about the order of blame in the OR, it's a hoot.

  16. the term "animal nurse"

    orrnlori replied to Clarvina Streisand's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I've taken those "advanced" BSN classes that teach you all that ideal information about making changes to the healthcare system. I hate to inform you that it doesn't matter what your bachelor's...

  17. Change of Shift Admissions

    orrnlori replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    I've had several times when surgery was coming to an end at 6:30pm and I try to call report. PACU will take report but there's no coming to PACU until about 7:45pm, don't even ask because they'll eat...

    orrnlori replied to interested's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing I can think

  19. Do you wear makeup?

    orrnlori replied to FutureNurse2005's topic in General Students

    I work makeup in school and I wear it now that I've been working all this time. And heck, you can't even see much because I'm in a mask and hat all day long. I don't feel dressed without it but...

  20. Bathing a 7 y/o

    orrnlori replied to Nurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I always insisted my son bathe every single day, sometimes twice during hot months. So do I and my husband. I guess I never thought that wouldn't be the

  21. University of Wyoming Online

    orrnlori replied to princess_j's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I have all of their information concerning the RN-BSN and their MSN program. I have applied to the MSN program, will know November 15 if I made it. I can't tell you about the classes but the people...

  22. Marriage to a Nurse-- Need HELP

    orrnlori replied to NeedAdvice1234's topic in General Nursing

    I think I'm beginning to see a troll here. This just doesn't seem real to me, does anyone else feel

  23. Excelsior College, About how much?

    orrnlori replied to NurseRatchet26's topic in Online Distance Learning

    What is hard about Excelsior is that they don't give you much to go on to figure costs. The first thing you need to figure is how many credits you currently have. The ECE tests available and their...

  24. The way nurses treat each other

    orrnlori replied to Mantibob's topic in General Nursing

    This is a perfect post. I don't feel we are "oppressed" either. That's trivializing true oppression. Don't make friends of coworkers, it rarely pays. There is always someone who will have a beef...

  25. Make Nursing Better

    orrnlori replied to OR1stRN's topic in General Nursing

    You know, your post got me to thinking about teachers. Some teachers face many of the things you have in your post, over regulation and paperwork, physical safety in the classroom, too many students,...
