  1. Disgusting! Stealing from a nursing home resident...

    alk3rainbow replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    There definately are people who will steal from residents. However, there are also a lot of residents who misplace things or imagine things or just plain out want to cause waves. Sometimes it is...

  2. Getting into an ADN program

    alk3rainbow replied to Manning626's topic in General Nursing

    Why would you go to a university and then transfer over to a community college? Why not just get your prereqs done at the community college you plan on transfering to. I've had a LOT of advisors...

  3. military separation

    alk3rainbow posted a topic in General Nursing

    Would having an entry level separation from the military make me inelgible to sit for the nclex? My dd214 says under reason for separation 'errenous enlistment', I don't know if that is relevant or...

  4. Did anyone who Graduated from Excelsior College had problems when trying.

    alk3rainbow replied to northernnyLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You have to be careful with any of these distance education schools just because there are a few states out there who won't let you take the boards. I believe Illinois is one of them and it does not...

  5. What are your interests?

    alk3rainbow replied to futurenurse2's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still a student nurse so maybe there are rockier roads ahead, but I enjoyed nutrition and even my cna class and I love reading about health related materials, but so far I can't stand anatomy and...

  6. Also Ran Careers... what did you decide against before choosing nursing

    alk3rainbow replied to JennInColumbus's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going for my lpn right now, but I'm considering going for my english degree afterwards. Go to school on a part time basis and then maybe teach high school english in a few years and do nursing...

  7. Only 4 periods a year!!

    alk3rainbow replied to Rudegal2020's topic in General Nursing

    You can usually skip periods with a lot of birth control...you don't necessarily have to take the special 'seasonal' one. I'm on the nuvaring and my doctor told me instead of taking the ring out for...

  8. I couldn't believe my ears!!!!

    alk3rainbow replied to camay1221_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Ah I'm just a student nurse, so I'm still learning about Hippa laws. I just assumed that would be confidential. I'm surprised it

  9. I couldn't believe my ears!!!!

    alk3rainbow replied to camay1221_RN's topic in General Nursing

    How could you tell the girls parents without breaking confidentiality? While I do agree that this girl is being extremely naive and stupid, I know MANY women who had children as a teenager and they...

  10. Nurses crossing picket lines??

    alk3rainbow replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow coming from a family of blue collared workers, I'm extremely offended. Get off your high horse. Being a "professional" doesn't make you better then anyone else. Blue collared workers aren't...

  11. Brand New Nurse Expectations

    alk3rainbow replied to mollyz's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I hate jobs like that. I had a receptionist job when I was 17, and because I didn't pick up on doing invoices and all these other new skills right away that the girl who was there before me could...

  12. Depressed about job experiences as CNA

    alk3rainbow replied to Krissy NY's topic in General Nursing

    I remember when I was doing my cna clinicals...we'd get a fifteen minute break and a 30 minute lunch break and we were only there for 6 hours so I would never eat on either. I'm unemployed so I don't...

  13. Undressing for Group Sports Physical

    alk3rainbow replied to Sheppard's topic in General Nursing

    umm well even in the military we got to wear our underwear. That doesn't seem right. They shouldn't have to be humiliated in order to get a physical. I know I wouldn't feel comfortable in a...

  14. When in uniform?!?!?!?!?

    alk3rainbow replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

  15. When in uniform?!?!?!?!?

    alk3rainbow replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    Customer service jobs aren't much better. You get cussed at and threatened for many things that are completely out of your control. I worked at this huge nursery department store and the other...

  16. Do you skip a lot of classes if attendance isn't taken? Be honest!

    alk3rainbow replied to Star Trek Nerd's topic in General Students

    Oh yea I've skipped most of my classes...but eh I have a 4.0 so I can't be doing that bad. I don't think that it is that the classes are too easy, more like some people do a better job of teaching...

  17. The way people can be just amazes me

    alk3rainbow replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    hmmm in my CNA class we got our final class grades back and one of my classmates looked over my shoulder at mine and he remarked very loudly in a condescending tone "YOU got a 97%, how?". I fought...

  18. sick nurses

    alk3rainbow replied to Lauriek's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like the place I did my CNA clinicals at. Kind of a silly rule. You can be sick and contagious, but have normal vital

  19. Anyone else dislike the nursing home?

    alk3rainbow replied to LindseyLou2222's topic in General Students

    I remember coming home from my first day of cna clinicals and calling my parents and telling them that if I could help it I would never ever ever put them in a nursing home. The smell alone is enough...

  20. Mamma's Boys (vent)

    alk3rainbow replied to Loribabble's topic in General Nursing

    I will glady wipe my mother's butt in the future rather then putting her in a nursing home. As for my father, I have two brothers that can do that for him. I don't see whats wrong with taking care...

  21. Speaking Spanish Helpful?

    alk3rainbow replied to Energizer Bunny's topic in General Nursing

    Well thats your opinion, I just find it ugly. I don't think thats ignorant, its just a matter of opinion. Was that not politically correct enough for you? I have nothing against hispanics, I just...

  22. Speaking Spanish Helpful?

    alk3rainbow replied to Energizer Bunny's topic in General Nursing

    You can't argue the benefits of knowing spanish in the US today, but it doesn't seem fair to be forced into learning someone elses native language when they are the ones immigrating over here. I...

  24. Women's Health NP or....?

    alk3rainbow replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    This won't help much, but the NP I see for my women health issues is a FNP and not a women's health NP. I don't really know if that is the norm or not though. It is hard to find schools that offer...

  25. Chicago vs. Pennsylvania??

    alk3rainbow replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I grew up in Oak forest and New lenox, and Orland park and Tinley are VERY good areas. There is however a lot of traffic because of the mall in Orland. I know Orland schools are great though and its...
