  1. Silly question about white scrub pants

    Hello everyone! I have a silly, and kind of embarrassing question. The required nursing scrub pants for my school are white. Now I can buy white colored/nude colored undies, which isn't a problem, but I do have one question: Does anyone have any s...
  2. What is your vision for redecorating an alzheimers/locked unit?

    Just my 2 cents: If you want to repaint, check out the local paint shops, like Sherwin Williams (not Home Depot or Lowes). I know that Sherwin Williams typically have a lot of paint in the back that just aren't the right color for a particular custo...
  3. Did anyone ever complete their RN-BSN through Kaplan University?

    sorry, didn't mean to pee in your cheerios. i don't think i'm all-knowing whatsoever. the minute you think that is the minute that the fun goes out of life. i just had an opinion that some classes should be taught in person, that's all. i'm "only...
  4. Did anyone ever complete their RN-BSN through Kaplan University?

    I'm against nursing classes online, especially Kaplan. I think that if you are going to choose a career like nursing, it should be in person with actual instructors. One would be hard pressed to find anything good about Kaplan on this site if they ...
  5. Did anyone ever complete their RN-BSN through Kaplan University?

    I'm sorry, but this topic has really upset me. Why are people trying to do BSN work ONLINE?! Yes, I myself take online classes, but they are World Music and Personal Health, NOT nursing courses! Learning nursing techniques online is the equivalent...
  6. Would you cut your hair for your career?

    Oh the irony. I had hair down to the middle of my back and just cut all of it off into a pixie cut that I wear as a mohawk sometime I would go for the job--hair grows back
  7. Retaking Nursing

    Our Nursing program is an ADN that's 4 years long, 2 years of it being in the actual Nursing School/Nursing Major. Of those four semesters of NS, a friend of mine was failing the third semester and had to drop out before she completely failed. Luck...
  8. ...best jobs while in nursing school.

    Ha! I don't believe this for one second, Meeting sales goals, crummy schedules, full flex schedules (even at part time), rude people (found everywhere, though), responsibility with money, having no job security, no sympathy from employers that yo...
  9. Mailing resumes instead of taking them personally?

    My opinion would be to hand them in personally. If they are too far for you to drop off a resume, why would you want to drive there every day for work? If it's too far to hand in it in, then that would tell me that it's too far for you to come in i...
  10. I hope this doesn't come off offensively, but to me, it sounds like you are looking for a career that makes a lot of money with minimal amount of work. Your second and third questions deal with money, and your first and fourth are basically asking h...
  11. So what do you do if you cut your finger?

    Ha, I just did this last week! I was opening up a can of commercial pears and my hand slipped, slicing my right thumb and nail completely open! Headed to the ED and lemme tell you.....that lidocaine shot is nothing to mess around with! Most extrem...

  13. Time of the month in light colored scrubs

    Hello all! Someone just sent me a link to this thread after I just posted the same question. Thank you all so much for the suggestions - I was having a mini-panic attack over this!! I looked up the Diva Cup and found out it was made of silicone an...

  16. Evidence Based Paper--need help!

    NickRN/EMT- The "impaired gas exchange" was in regards to an example of medical vs. nursing dx, as indicated in her post---NOT related to the OP's MI question.
  17. My patient takes ibuprofen for sinus congestion!

    Sinus inflammation? Sinus infection? Sinus discomfort? Sinus congestion? Sinus WHAT? Jus' sayin' it seems like a lot of information was left out of the original post, like others had noted, and it sounded like a student may have posed the question. R...
  18. My patient takes ibuprofen for sinus congestion!

    Anyone else have a feeling this was a way for the OP to ask a homework question indirectly?
  19. I don't have a passion for anything (anymore)...need advice .

  20. I need advice about mental health facility

    Congratulations on getting a job! I'm not sure how much information or advise I can offer: I'm a Nursing student but I do work at a long term, residential care facility for the mentally ill. In no way do I perform nurse duties, so when I work second...
  21. EXPERIENCE..

    You don't have to apologize for your questions. I am also a nursing student and eager to learn as much as possible too. I was just pointing out that the specialties tab has a lot of awesome information and opens you up to avenues in Nursing you may...
  22. EXPERIENCE..

    Hi Eileen! I've noticed you've posted a ton of questions that are all over the spectrum. There are tabs up on the top of the page that will lead you to other pages, specialties, and topics about BSN/ADN and all that good stuff. Not that we aren't h...

    In CT we have to take the TEAS test. You have to check with the specific school you are interested in in order to find out their precise requirements--there is no broad answer for all schools.

    Three Rivers stopped at #8 of 79.
  25. Think I have to resign...

    Sorry to hear you are going through this. The question that I would be asking myself is, "Can I afford to quit right now?" If yes, then do it If not, wait until you have another job lined up. I highly doubt their actions are a reflection of what th...
