  1. APA Rant by RN

    I never liked APA or MLA, but I use http://www.citationmachine.net/ so I don't really have a problem with either of them
  2. Considering nursing but is it for me?

    I'm sorry, that is funny. It's not funny that your sensitivity level was that high, but it's so funny that you admitted that! I've never heard anyone say that!! I wonder how many people really can't...
  3. Considering nursing but is it for me?

    If you want to be thrown head first into mounds of incontinence, then the CNA suggestion is a good idea. I would suggest you start off with the smallest shift as possible and work your way up,...
  4. I want to be a RN but don't want to deal, with you know...

    Is it wrong for you to feel that way? Absolutely not. I don't think anyone is "into" the death/dying part(except people who choose that particular field). It's a part of life I don't think anyone can...
  5. What I have learned during bedbaths

    They still teach that in CNA school, but they never do it. I thought it was a great idea, but it seems that no one really does that! What a great and easy way to help someone

  8. should potential employers use credit checks?

    I don't think that finances reflect on how well you care for a patient. Now, I completely understand the need for a credit check for a financial advisor. I mean, really. If you are going to advise me...

    "At this point, we don't have any research to show any statistical correlation between what's in somebody's credit report and their job performance or their likelihood to commit fraud," TransUnion's...
  10. Has anyone gotten pregnant and continued w/NS?

    My hubby and I are waiting to have our first child until I am out of school. I don't need added stress. As far as pregnancy difficulties, a relative of mine is 8 months pregnant with her first child...

    What's funny is I got a job as a Loan Officer and also at another place counting out the registers every day and handling deposits all with........ terrible
  12. should potential employers use credit checks?

    Easy answer, no. It's usually easy to tell if a person has had a circumstance that caused their credit to burn. In those cases, I don't think credit should be taken into consideration. For myself, I...
  13. You'll know flaming when you see it, trust me. It typically involves rude and personal attacks. Which I don't do and if I did I apologize. Anyways, I realize that is not what you meant, which is why...
  14. online vs classroom

    Yes, I did best in the online classes where the instructor would not only post lecture notes, but they would post powerpoints and those would have notes as well. Without that kind of help (and it...
  15. That was far from "flaming" by the way. Disagreeing with your post is not flaming. Having general body image issues (where one simply does not want parts of their body exposed) is not an mental...
  16. online vs classroom

    You'll still have clinical in person, so I would imagine you get the experience you need. Whether online is good for you is a different question. Online class can be more difficult than in class. They...

  18. ACCREDITATIONS??

    If they are not accredited at all, I don't suggest you go there. "Some nursing schools are approved by their state board of nursing but are not accredited by a national nursing accreditation body....
  19. That's pretty extreme to say. Just because people are uncomfortable undressing in front of fellow students or they have body image issues, does NOT mean they need therapy. Seriously. Considering the...
  20. ACCREDITATIONS??

    You will have to retake your gen ed courses if you want your BSN. Unless, you get your BSN from another for profit school. I believe Fortis is nationally corrected (correct me if I'm wrong anyone),...
  21. Which hospital job would be a better pick?

    ER tech. Patient care experience will help you more than clerical experience. Plus, you'll get to see a lot of different things in the ED that others students won't be able to experience. Maybe, if...
  22. ONE POINT from passing Pharmacology first term : (

    I can understand your frustrated. Obviously this is a difficult time for you. But take some time to think about what you are saying here. First, you are squeaking by all of your classes. What have...
  23. Psych, sex, and cigarettes

    I personally wouldn't do a rotation at a place that allowed smoking inside. It may be their right to smoke, but they have no right putting my health at risk when they could easily go
  24. Assist Patient to Dangle

    If they are able to assist with a transfer, that's when you use the gait belt. Meaning with the rocking motion, they can stand, even if's its for a tiny second enough to pivot to the chair. You don't...
