    Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    lifelearningrn replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I believe compulsive hand washing will be adequate.. as you know covering your mouth when you sneeze or cough and washing your hands regularly can cut down infection quite well. Further, if flu season...

    Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    lifelearningrn replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'll take the liberty to expand upon that- you can shout 'fire' in a public theater- but you can not do it without consequence. The first amendment will not protect you if your shouting 'fire' cause a...

    Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    lifelearningrn replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You're welcome to call my opinion B.S. all you want, you're entitled to your own opinion too.. I disagree with you. You're basically saying, "don't bring your rain coat and boots with you, it's just...

    Selection...Going Crazy Waiting

    lifelearningrn replied to Iridescent Orchid's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Try to relax and enjoy the holidays. You're going to get in, you've worked hard and done well. I truly believe that you're already in! Relax- there isn't anything you can do at this point but wait.....

    Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    lifelearningrn replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm sure all of your patients appreciate your putting their health at risk because of your refusal to comply with vaccinations. But you're right, it's your body. I'm sure at some point in the...

    Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    lifelearningrn replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If you refuse the flu shot, and end up with the flu, I can see them getting away with it. They gave you the choice, you chose to take your chances. Why should they have to pay for that choice? There...

    Second degree

    lifelearningrn replied to kimjou's topic in General Nursing

    You're going to need to take quite a few college sciences before you can even think about getting into a nursing school- realistically, you're probably looking at a year of pre-reqs and another 2...

    Im 24 and I want to be a nurse badly but my age discourages me!

    lifelearningrn replied to M.C.P's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's adorable that you were more afraid of science than criminals. lol Congrats on taking the leap- science is fun, you're going to love

    Do you think im crazy for my nurse aspiration?

    lifelearningrn replied to nursewannabe2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've always been a 'follow your heart' kind of person but I somewhat agree with this. It did rub me the wrong way that the OP was expecting to get a national scholarship to fund a BSN after having...

    Im 24 and I want to be a nurse badly but my age discourages me!

    lifelearningrn replied to M.C.P's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm beginning nursing school in January, I'm 39- I'll be 41 when I graduate. I know very few people that I went to high school with who are doing anything close to what they had planned right out of...

    does it really matter where you got your degree from?

    I'm In! But Can I Afford It?!?

    lifelearningrn replied to zoemorg's topic in General Students

    Student loans through FAFSA are NOT credit based.. your bankruptcy should have no baring on your receiving government subsidized and unsubsidized loans. Talk to a financial aid adviser

    does it really matter where you got your degree from?

    lifelearningrn replied to Nolander's topic in General Nursing

    No, a CNA can not do everything an RN does- but it is within the RN's scope of practice to do everything a CNA does, is it not? Aren't CNAs there to assist nurses in doing THEIR

    First step complete!

    lifelearningrn replied to MissyBee4983's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats. You will also be able to register and get accepted. The entrance exam will either place you in college level courses or you may have to take a remedial (I did with math)... but if you talk...

    Will there ever be a surplus of nursing jobs again?!

    lifelearningrn replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in General Nursing

    If there is an over-saturation in applicants to schools, yes, they'll increase the entrance requirements.. but if a school has enough seats, they'll do whatever it takes to fill them, no matter what...

    Are there any ADN advocates out there??

    lifelearningrn replied to pbstrums's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    With almost 40 years experience, there is absolutely no reason for you to get a BSN at this point in your career. You wouldn't see a return on your investment unless you're planning on working another...

    Will there ever be a surplus of nursing jobs again?!

    lifelearningrn replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in General Nursing

    It takes more than book smarts to be good in any field. Having a B "average" doesn't necessarily mean someone isn't going to make a great nurse. People talk about how hard it is to get into nursing...

    lifelearningrn replied to MissyBee4983's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The results come with the certificate. I knew I had passed mine before they mailed it to me because it was showing up in the online verification at the BoE for my state. You may be able to do the same...

    NEW RN PROGRAM!!!!

    lifelearningrn replied to neww's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you applied to other programs? Why not apply to others and if this is the one you get into, give it a shot? If you have a choice between this and other schools, I think you should go with an...

    Am I really trip'n?

    lifelearningrn replied to Getting To Great's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know I'd be disappointed at my final grade after working so hard all semester and maintaining an A average. It would suck for all that hard work to end with a B. (I struggled to keep my A in A/P 2...

    dealing with an unprofessional clinical instructor

    lifelearningrn replied to mjrysmom's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    These kinds of things scare the crap out of me. Why do so many nursing schools allow such a negative learning environment for their students? I find this behavior absolutely unacceptable. You're...
