  1. Undecided about the nursing profession. Please advise.

    Streamline2010 replied to sc0628's topic in General Nursing

    I have been wondering the same thing, sc028. So, I went over to the the male nurses section and asked their opinion on this problem, and does it actually exist. Or, is it BS. You know, with...

  2. Does being called a male nurse annoy you?

    Streamline2010 replied to freefalle's topic in Men in Nursing

    hahaha! Honestly, although it might be annoying, probably nobody means it to be offensive. Until more men are in the profession and people get used to seeing them, you'll stand out. As the mix...

  3. Relocating to Charlotte

    Streamline2010 replied to jofus1981's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I don't live there, but I have relatives and associates who do, and I've been in Charlotte from time to time since the late '80s. I think the white populace as a whole is generally pleasant and...

  4. What is it like to be a nurse in a prison?

    Streamline2010 replied to MMurse's topic in Correctional

    I'm not a nurse yet, but I have 20 years of work experience in oddball predominantly-male job environments and I will say this: And for any single woman who is looking for a mate, that's what I'd...

  5. *Ahem* A Reminder - It Is *That* Time of Year Again

    Streamline2010 replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    ^^Only if you add the pants, hehe. I thought I'd dress up as Nurse Diesel this year. Kind of the Anti-Goddess. >;-) (Kidding, because I'm busy getting ready to move and can't fool with it...

  6. workplace disorganization, mental torture and bullying

    Streamline2010 replied to PRETTYODD's topic in General Nursing

    Well, if success goes to the loudest and meanest, why not become louder and meaner. Is there some way to get these workplace incidents national media attention? After all, it surely must degrade...

  7. Nurses in their 60's or 70's

    Streamline2010 replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for saying something positive. Not all people "expire" at the same time. Sure, there are some whose health and brains are gone by the time they hit their mid-40s. But there are others,...

  8. Single mother taking pre-nursing classes...would this be a good idea?

    Streamline2010 replied to antajshalakiag's topic in General Students

    20 isn't too old, by any means, lol. So you're good, there. Nursing schools are deluged with applicants, not all of whom are really qualified, but getting into any RN program takes a while, even if...

  9. Hesi grammar?

    Streamline2010 replied to kgheen09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We're not allowed to give specific questions per forum's rules. HESi, TEAS, NLN PAX: all have very similar questions and content for the vocabulary and the

  10. Hesi grammar?

    Streamline2010 replied to kgheen09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck! :-) Really, it's a reasonable test. Just keep track of the time, because the test is timed and you should finish as many questions as

  11. Hesi grammar?

    Streamline2010 replied to kgheen09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Try this link to download the Mcgraw guide RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehostin I just tried the "slow download." You just let the timer run until it allows you to download. That...

  12. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

    Streamline2010 replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmmmn, sounds like we need to be lobbying Congress or something about this. If they keep raising the retirement age for Social Security, and want all of us to keep working longer, then the gov't...

  13. Should pre-reqs really take 3 years to complete?

    Streamline2010 replied to Katwallace's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look at admissions requirements carefully, b/c they vary. A BSRN or ADN school that starts 2 nursing classes per year might allow you to start sooner. A school that fills its classes as it gets...

  14. What a blow to my ego

    Streamline2010 replied to letitbe_lindsay's topic in General Students

    "I hate getting report from student nurses," "just ******* get on with it." I'd have promptly documented those words, and would have reported her to her supervisor. First, it's part of her job to...

  15. No sat score, no admissions! Non-traditional student

    Streamline2010 replied to Angelfire3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I encountered the same carp when applying to nursing schools. I already have degrees and should be in accelerated BSN, but there isn't one in my rural locale. The nursing entrance requirements are...

  16. Part-time LPN program-Is it worth it?

    Streamline2010 replied to laski's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^^ She can't be full time now, so accelerated BSN does not work for the present time. I'd say sure, do the part time LPN now. And while you are a currently enrolled student, and get first crack at...

  17. adult bully

    Streamline2010 replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

    Oh, be very helpful. And feed him all of the wrong answers. Whenever he asks you for an answer, you tell him BS. With a straight face, or a smile. It will annoy him, because it wastes his time....

  18. second career ...starting as cna cmk training

    Streamline2010 replied to jimmy joe's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    jimmy joe, if I were you, I would seriously look at doing the LPN training instead of the CNA. I'd especially avoid CNA if I had any kind of retraining money available. Once you get CNA, that could...

  19. Dosage Calculations Question

    Streamline2010 replied to MsGreenBeauty's topic in General Students

    175mcg/day x 1 pill/25mcg is the equation. The 175 is in the numerator, per day is the denominator. Times 1 pill (the numerator) per 25mcg (the denominator). The mcg cancels...

    Streamline2010 replied to bassadict69's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yay! I got all the parts of those right. Who would have thought that chemical engineering is everywhere, lol. Mass transfer and fluid flow, I love ya. haha I ordered a "typical" dosage...

  21. Using LPN to get to BSN

    Streamline2010 replied to lifesdream's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    The LPN program that I applied to, in the orientation session, was openly discussing LPN as steppingstone to RN. For a number of reasons, LPN is more attainable for many people. The problem is that...

  22. Attacking a Doctor Makes News; Attacking a Nurse is Business As Usual

    Streamline2010 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    what's selfish about it? i fail to see anything "selfish" about it. that sounds like something mommy would say: "now, you stop being so *selfish,* right this instant!" i see it as a sidebar...

  23. Can I take the HESI and TEAS entrance exams before applying to nursing schools?

    Streamline2010 replied to future_RNurse321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my case, I had to submit applications and working copies of transcripts and the application fees to the schools first, and the schools scheduled me for a test date. That was for HESI and TEAS....

    Streamline2010 replied to boat's topic in Michigan Nursing

    ^^ That's good news, for those of us who are career changers. It's nice to see that prior college degrees and career experience are not totally disregarded. At the local nursing school in my...

  25. Can I take the HESI and TEAS entrance exams before applying to nursing schools?

    Streamline2010 replied to future_RNurse321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think so, because the individual schools usually administer those tests themselves and they won't accept (usually) say, a HESI result, on a test that was taken elsewhere. I believe that's...
