  1. Random music with nursing

    lil pixi replied to leekun2010's topic in General Nursing

    That's really cool. It must be. Rock Doctors! I've always played instruments, from years on piano to years on guitar & a few on drums. LOVE to sing too, always in Chorus as a

  2. Vans slip ons

    lil pixi replied to nurseftw's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Hhhmmm. I have my heart so set on my NurseMates and the lil blue heart (), but I want to walk on clouds!! That's #1, IMO, when it comes to nursing, long shifts on your feet & sneakers. To the OP,...

  3. Insomnia

    lil pixi replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    This is my new regimen, basically. Physical exertion, or lately, studying till I tire myself out. Haha. I've dealt with insomnia as far back as I can remember, and always a night person. I spent at...

  4. Quitting Medschool to go to Nursing

    lil pixi replied to Mr.York's topic in Nursing Career

    Try not to feel so discouraged if you can help it (Well, upset is more the word). It happens. I wanted to be a doctor my whole life, early as I can remember, but as we grow, our feelings &...

  5. EEK! There's a woman in my room!

    lil pixi replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    Here, here. Unbelievably cruel & uncalled for. I really can't get over that, esp. with the complications & grief it has caused you. I certainly hope the woman didn't get away with it. I didn't...

  6. Prestige Medical Clear Sound Heart Stethoscope

    lil pixi replied to xiongmao's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I was in a similar boat when purchasing my stethoscope a lil over a month ago. Didn't want to go with a pricey Littman for my first, but wanted a very good one. I ended up going with the new Sprague...

  7. Help me save my poor hands

    lil pixi replied to wmg246's topic in General Nursing

    I have an Avon Intensive hand cream for severe dryness & cracking that works extremely well. I've often wondered how often nurses encounter this problem because I believe one of the #1 causes of...

  8. Should nurses with long hair be required to wear it up?

    lil pixi replied to dura_mater's topic in General Nursing

    I personally feel I don't have a choice in the matter considering I have 3+ ft. of wild hair. In my case, I see it as a comfort as well as a hygienic issue. It's just too long & there's just...

  9. Medical Professional Institute

    lil pixi replied to Ab0903's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm not sure I can get into the May classes, if that's going to be the case. =/ Though I figured, under those circumstances I'd start working on my RN bridging program pre-reqs and have them all...

  10. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    lil pixi replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

  11. Volunteering?

    lil pixi posted a topic in General Students

  12. Date my Doctor/Employer?

    lil pixi replied to newlilrn's topic in General Nursing

    I was in a similar situation once w/ a doc, as a patient. It was truly weird for me and my brain didn't even want to make sense out of what was happening at the time. Lol. A well-known doctor and much...

  13. Any Excelsior College grads now CRNA or SRNA?

    lil pixi replied to billythekid's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It truly is considering this is the route I plan to go as well. ADN & BSN through Excelsior & onto the pre-reqs & either Northeastern or B.U's Anesthesia program. You go, aspiring...

  14. LPN vs. Medical Assistant

    lil pixi replied to mountaindewqueen's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I meant to say she regrets NOT going for LPN instead. Too late for me to edit. That's another thing, though - The cost of tuition, to graduate & make around half as much as an LPN too. At...

  15. LPN vs. Medical Assistant

    lil pixi replied to mountaindewqueen's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you that my mother went to MA school a long time ago, and still to this days regrets going for LPN instead. She says she was too young & misinformed at the time. I can also tell you...

  16. Has anyone tried Turbo Jam?

    lil pixi replied to beautifulb's topic in Health, Stress Management

    When I stumbled upon this thread before, I hadn't the slightest clue what Zumba was. Now I have a feeling Zumba is going to be one of my most loved best friends. I have one of the Turbo Jam videos...

  17. Medical Professional Institute

    lil pixi replied to Ab0903's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Ah, yes, my next step. Maybe a small book to help me study for the TEAS is in order? Do you think it's necessary? Funny you say that about the Math, I've been going over all my basic Math & was a...

  18. Nursing & Pre-Nursing Students - Desired Area of Nursing?

    lil pixi posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    So which area of nursing do you hope & would you like to go into? Which type of setting, or hospital floor would you like to work on if hospital work is your choice, etc... My plan is to work my...

  19. Balancing Nursing School and a Boyfriend

    lil pixi replied to averie123's topic in General Nursing

    :angthts: :hug: to you for your accomplishments. But now that the grueling schooling is over & the money could start coming in instead, he's sorry & wants to cooperate.... Please think of the...

  20. Balancing Nursing School and a Boyfriend

    lil pixi replied to averie123's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry you're experiencing this. IMO, last thing you need during nursing school & putting your future & security first is someone who's supposed to stick by you but doesn't understand &...

  21. Nursing school, no friends

    lil pixi replied to ubcgirl's topic in General Nursing
