  1. Which book is best to use when reviewing for NET

    ARmickie replied to Godswill's topic in General Students

    I know why you feel the need to buy these books to help prepare for the test, but I can tell you, I really can't see too much of a need for them. The math test can be easily passed by simply...

  2. Professional in scrubs?

    ARmickie replied to Kora0880's topic in General Students

    I certainly hope this is not something that the PTB ever seriously consider. It's a well known fact that when you are comfortable, you will perform much better, regardless of the profession. I just...

  3. Migraines...what helps you?

    ARmickie replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in General Nursing

    I had really bad migraines a few years ago, and my dr gave me samples of some type (wish I knew the name). It was a pill that dissolved on your tongue, and it only worked w/ migraines. I found that...

  4. A Tragic Fire

    ARmickie replied to ARmickie's topic in Nursing Humor

    lol.. I like that

  5. I Hate You, Heart Attack.....

    ARmickie replied to mother/babyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I too can identify with this, though not on such a level. I was 15 years old when my dad had his first heart attack. He was in another state at the time, and the moment I got there, I refused to...

  6. Student with a question...

    ARmickie posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I have been stressed over trying to get into a particular class this summer. Unfortunately, I'm a NEW student, and the school won't let me register until the day before the class starts! Today, I...

  7. Muscle spasms?

    ARmickie posted a topic in General Nursing

    Okay.. I know that this may be off the wall, but I just had a really strange experience. I was simply putting wet clothes into the dryer and all of a sudden a muscle in my back went nuts! It cramped...

  8. Muscle spasms?

    ARmickie replied to ARmickie's topic in General Nursing

    Well, on Monday, the muscle was feeling a little tense, but the majority of the pain was gone. Sunday night, well, that was a different story. (I think I moaned for most of the night, and it was not...

  9. Your Thoughts Requested

    ARmickie replied to weezieRN's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps there could be a compromise here. I know that when I had my first daughter, it was an emergency C section, and they thought that both baby and I would die. As much as my DH wanted to be in...

  10. Your Thoughts Requested

    ARmickie replied to weezieRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had the same surgery done about 8 years ago, and no, they would not allow my husband to be in the OR. "Liability issues" is the reason given. My surgery was successful at the time, although...

    ARmickie replied to burger914's topic in General Nursing

  14. Cranky floor nurses? Or snotty students??

    ARmickie replied to oldiebutgoodie's topic in General Students

    I'm not a nurse, only a fellow student at this point, but when I read your post something immediately sprang to mind, and I wanted to share it with you. A few months ago, I was among other family...

  15. What's The Deal With A 4.0 Gpa?

    ARmickie replied to Tx-top nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the post about looking into LPN programs, if you haven't done so already. The school that I will be going to uses your GPA to a certain extent, but it's not the be all, end all, either....

  16. Re- mariage is over

    ARmickie replied to nurse07's topic in International Nursing

    I can only offer you the experience that I have and hope that it helps. Last year, my DH and I seperated and divorce because of the same sort of issues that you are having. I did feel bored, very...

  17. Choices...sacrifices...How did You do it?

    ARmickie replied to ciado's topic in Nursing Career

    Perhaps you should talk to your college officer of student services. The reason I say that is because the school I will attend offers free or low cost child care to parents of nursing students during...
