   ARmickie replied to FutureNurse2005's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I suppose I would be officially included in this group! I am just starting college at the tender age of 33! This summer, I'm taking Personal Health and Western Civilization I for the first term....

2. LPN to RN bridge Programs...

   ARmickie replied to trish820's topic in General Nursing

   From what I understand, you can take the NCLEX-RN after your junior year if you are attending a four year BSN program.. I could be wrong, but that is my

3. LPN to RN bridge Programs...

   ARmickie replied to trish820's topic in General Nursing

   I thought over this same process. I knew that I would be looking for fin aid when I got ready to do the bridge program, and where I live, the only bridge programs go from LPN to MSN and I don't live...

4. Hmmm...am I wrong to think this way???

   ARmickie replied to Deb123j's topic in General Nursing

   If it's wrong, then I'm going down with you!! I'm just waiting to hear that my old boss went down in flames!! This woman trained me for my position, and she knew that upper ranking people had pulled...

5. No good deed goes unpunished

   ARmickie replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

   I read this story and remembered the first time I ever tried to give blood. I was 17 and the Red Cross came to our high school. I went through the screening and they did a finger prick in order to...

6. What will you do?

   ARmickie replied to ARmickie's topic in General Nursing

   Well, I agree, and I would as well. But, if you read some of these threads it sounds as if some people are just saying, "I hope it doesn't...." w/o making sure first. I have a friend who was in the...

7. What will you do?

   ARmickie posted a topic in General Nursing

   There have been several posts recently about criminal offenses, both felony and misdeamenor, and how it will affect ones chances of being allowed to sit for boards. I'm just curious as to what...

8. called BON today looks good

   ARmickie replied to donnar232's topic in General Nursing

   Glad things seem to be working out for you. A friend called me today and said she'd heard from the BON as well and was told that the offense wasn't an automatic ban from taking the test. However,...

9. Arkansas Nurses and Students....

   ARmickie posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm about to enter a CC and possibly a LPN program. My eventual goal, however, is to be a RN. Does anyone have any advice as to whether or not to do the LPN program and then try to get into a RN...

10. Reiki Therapy?

    ARmickie replied to NurseLizard's topic in Holistic

    I don't know if you are still interested in this, but I agree -- you should try it. A few years ago, I was being treated for a ganglion cyst in my wrist. It took over a year for the diagnosis to be...

11. Dress or scrubs? Females ONLY!!!!

    ARmickie replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in General Nursing

    There was another thread on this somewhere that got pretty heated. My personal opinion is this: If you feel more 'professional' in a dress, by all means wear it. As for me, I'll stick to scrubs....

12. The right for a patient to know

    ARmickie replied to Cadeyl's topic in General Nursing

    The only way I can see that being acceptable is if it's a ped patient.. otherwise the patient has a right to know before family members.. or at the very least, at the same

13. Bath After Broken Water

    ARmickie replied to Natalieboo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'd be just the opposite. No bath for me. Any risk of infection to my baby is not worth it. Now, if I felt like I HAD to be washed for some reason, I'd hop into a shower for a quick rinse. But,...

14. Is it okay to love parts of nursing and hate others?

    ARmickie replied to luckymichelle's topic in General Nursing

    I would have probably got in trouble in that class.. as soon as it came out of her mouth, she'd see me.. :rotfl: . It's

15. Job Title??

    ARmickie replied to ARmickie's topic in General Nursing

    I believe you should tell the truth about the situation. I have said over and over, I do not think anyone should just tell a family "it's going to be ok" if that isn't the truth. I'm simply stating...
