  1. CNA before RN?

    avionics replied to SkylerW's topic in General Students

    I am in an RN program right now and the majority of the class have never actually used their CNA. It was mandatory for us to have either taken the CNA training within five years of starting RN school...

  2. New name for nurses who are men

    avionics replied to midlife101's topic in Men in Nursing

    I will be plenty happy to finish school and be referred to as "the RN that caught the F--k up". Which beats the all too common new grad alternative of "that RN F----d up..." Both have RN in the title...

  3. Job posting- "Must not be overweight"

    avionics replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    While I admit this is a ridiculous job posting, most likely a joke, I don't think discriminating against someone for their physical condition is illegal outside of an actual recognized disability. I...

  4. your gpa

    avionics replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

    4.0 and it was pretty much required at my CC. Their application points system just gives points for grades in specific courses you took to put you on an acceptance list for the nursing program (ADN)....

  5. School starts tomorrow!

    avionics replied to ctasy's topic in General Students

    I am nervous too. Starting tomorrow with an orientation day before the ADN core nursing stuff starts. I think everyone in this position will be terrified but others have done it and so can we....

  6. Family members that follow you

    avionics replied to prettyinblu's topic in General Nursing

    I got to see a strange side of this as well, about twelve years ago my mother had to get an emergency hysterectomy done. She had been an LPN for many years and really knew her stuff, medically...

  7. Drug tested and scared

    avionics replied to Platypus's topic in General Nursing

    It is not just nursing that is so anal about drug testing employees. I spent ten years in aviation and all the places I worked we were part of an FAA random drug testing program. Sounds good on the...

  8. discipline of nurses vs. other health care professionals

    avionics replied to jrt71's topic in General Nursing

    You have to be logged into your account for the Kudos button to show

  9. Forgot to renew my BLS!

    avionics replied to pumpkin's topic in General Nursing

    I am an AHA BLS instructor and I most likely would not make you take more than the renewal course. I doubt my TC higher ups would either in their classes. The non-renewal course would simply not offer...

  10. Does this job sound like a scam?

    avionics replied to glenlorie's topic in General Nursing

    We use craigslist all the time and I have never had an issue with it, but we are very cautious about meeting anyone in a parking lot with cash...I wouldn't even consider doing that without an armed,...

  11. I feel defeated

    avionics replied to Idaho Murse's topic in General Nursing

    That would seem kind of ridiculous, canning you before you have a chance, after they have spent time and money on your training, for some SNAFU completely outside of your control. If you have anyone...

  12. photographic memory real??

    avionics replied to kitty222's topic in General Nursing

    I have had similar issues in the past. People do not like discussing past conversations with someone who can quote verbatim the entire conversation. They usually get angry and storm off. It seems to...

  13. New to med field and Afraid of the unknown

    avionics replied to AngelsRnurses's topic in General Nursing

    I think fear is the result of intelligence, imagination, and the unknown combining in new and horrible ways. Sometimes its more of one than the others...It is important to analyze which of these is...

  14. Funny ways little kids describe how babies are born

    avionics replied to shhhh's topic in Nursing Humor

    I was pretty little but I still remember the horrible level of confusion having a little information can lead to. My mother was an LPN and was normally very upfront about things, however got mad when...

  15. LOL

    avionics replied to Katie5's topic in Nursing Humor

    My previous wife grew up in Mexico and when she got flustered or tired her english slipped a bit. So it was unwise of her best friend to lie and tell her husband she was out with my wife (really with...

  16. What are your credentials and what's your IQ?

    avionics replied to Weber's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I wasn't bragging so much as pooing all over the original poster's silly and useless question in the most polite and substantive way

  17. What are your credentials and what's your IQ?

    avionics replied to Weber's topic in General Nursing

    I have few credentials at this point in the medical field. I have a CNA license, and I am an AHA BLS instructor. I am starting an ADN RN program this fall after having taken all the side classes for...
