    Psych, sex, and cigarettes

    noyesno replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    I realize I shouldn't have just assumed the cigarettes were all coming from Medicaid. I'm not exactly sure how they pay for them and most likely never

    Psych, sex, and cigarettes

    noyesno replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your input. :) I totally agree that everyone needs companionship. My only concern with the sex is pregnancy and consent issues. I'm all for a residents having sex if they are being...

    Nursing school: Bizarre practice in learning to bed bath..

    noyesno replied to Cat_RN's topic in General Students

    We had to do bed baths on each other in the 1st semester of my nursing program. During practice, we could wear shorts and tank tops or a bathing suit. For the skills exam at the end of the semester,...

    Is there a Registered Dietitian program for RN's?

    noyesno replied to Tanguera's topic in Nursing Career

    Hey Melissa! I think you'll find you won't be the oldest person in the ASN program. Many other students will have kids too. Most people in my ADN (same as an ASN) program have a bachelor's or...

    Does anyone else find this offensive?

    noyesno replied to megan3485's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking the same thing because a lady I know just finish schooling to become a registered medical assistant and the program was similar in length to a LPN program. The classes were also...

    Is there a Registered Dietitian program for RN's?

    noyesno replied to Tanguera's topic in Nursing Career

    After reading this, I feel more confident that I didn't do the DI and decided to do nursing. Am I glad to hear you rerouted before working too many years in dialysis!?

    Vibram 5 fingers shoes

    noyesno replied to sarahbellum's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I love my vibrams (so much that I want to kiss each rubber toe)!!! I have the KSO's and wear them for running and hiking around. I agree with a previous posted that said they aren't as comfortable on...

    In my program: Semesters 1 and 2 we can miss 1 clinical (we have clinical once a week these semesters). Semesters 3 and 4 we can miss 2 clinicals (we have clinical twice a week these semesters)....

    What boundaries do you set?

    noyesno posted a topic in General Nursing

    I want to know: What boundaries do you set with your patients, coworkers, and/or bosses to ensure you don't get taken advantage and burned out? As a nursing student who graduates this upcoming...

    What boundaries do you set?

    noyesno replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    I've noticed a few inklings of the martyr complex with nurses during my clinicals. It usually has to do with eating: Example: "I haven't eaten anything in 10 hours because I have so much to do for my...

    Hurting my chances of being hired? Help

    noyesno replied to NIUnurs2be's topic in General Nursing

    I have a BS in a non-nursing degree and decided to do an ADN instead of an ABSN or a direct entry MSN for a few reasons: 1. It is SO much cheaper $40-60,000.00 2. New grad nurses make about the same...

    Quirky Habits?

    noyesno replied to dorisc1981's topic in General Nursing

    Thought of another one: When ever I have my own bedroom (which was only when I was a junior, senior, and senior .5 in college), my room has certain areas that I deem, "TOW AWAY ZONES," where extra...

    I don't think so but it is possible b/c my mom is a nurse (I don't think she is on allnurses though)! :) People usually do not like this habit of mine. One time, a friend of mine slipped when we were...

    Nudity?

    noyesno replied to tlp514's topic in General Students

    I got three bed baths from other students for skills testing. I had to wear a gown (my underwear could stay on underneath). I had to unhook my bra so they could wash my back though. Two of the...

    Pre nursing vs nursing which one is more difficult?

    noyesno replied to European's topic in General Students

    For me, nursing classes are more challenging than pre-reqs because of: 1. Clinical: you often feel like an idiot wandering around the hospital floor 2. Exams: they are NCLEX style multiple choice...

    Just want to clear up one thing: If you are taking a prescription medication that shows up on a drug test you CANNOT get clearance ahead of time. Here is how it goes down: 1. You take the drug test 2....

    I don't think its fair to jump to conclusions that the OP is asking about drug testing because they use drugs. You didn't even answer their
