1. An open letter to the ER triage nurse

   Echo_of_Faith replied to laurasc's topic in Relations

   I keep seeing all of these posts about "as a nurse" and "you already know"; SO WHAT - the only reason she is able to put a letter like this together is because of the knowledge she has, that DOES NOT mean that she was in any position @ the time to sa...

2. Chance of ADN to get a Hospital Job?

   Echo_of_Faith replied to nalaa83's topic in General Students

   I guess it's demographics, or that the teacher doesn't have enough faith in the students he/she is teaching to believe that their skills are up to par for working in a hospital...on the other hand, Nursing homes are hard work; you are usually respons...

3. How soon we forget.

   Echo_of_Faith replied to eriksoln's topic in Activism

   I have read through several responses, and am surprised to say how divided even the medical community is on this issue. Both good arguing points to both sides. Now, we all have an opinion, so.... I think everyone continues to look at this issue (a...

4. will nursing ever be in demand again?

   Echo_of_Faith replied to amzyRN's topic in California

   I am a new nursing grad and have had a few job offers already, just waiting to test & get licensed. I don't know if the economy really has anything to do with it, because whether you have insurancce or not generally isn't going to keep people aw...

5. What a blow to my ego

   Echo_of_Faith replied to letitbe_lindsay's topic in General Students

   I have been in this situation myself a couple of times in just regular group clincals. I won't go into the details because that's not what this is about. As students we are told or understand that we are at clinicals to work & the nurses we wor...

6. Is it to late for me to become a Nurse?

   Echo_of_Faith replied to louis345's topic in Pre-Nursing

   First of all a quote from 10 Things I Hate About You: Don't let anyone ever tell you, you don't deserve what you want. While I understand that peer influence is a very motivating or demotivating factor, the choice is yours alone, and only you can d...

   Echo_of_Faith replied to bestcr's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   First of all if there was a selection procedure to get into your program, Congratulations !! I was extremely nervous myself when I started. I'm not sure if your program is structured the way mine was, but most likely you'll have a day orientation t...

8. Question: Pediatrics Course

   Echo_of_Faith posted a topic in General Students

   I have been in LPN school for 10 months now and am starting pediatrics. The course is very broad & unlike the other courses, I am finding myself getting lost in all the information. I am very organized and always tackle a course with a plan fro...

   Echo_of_Faith replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am a little more than 1/2 way done (graduate by November 2010) and have had the opportunity to work in all departments except for Mental Health. Although I loved psychology in college, I know my calling is the ER & surgery. I know that may fi...

10. Starting LPN Program in August

    Echo_of_Faith replied to bestcr's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Definitely make sure you have enough time to dedicate to the cause. I hate reading so much at one time too (1/2 way through my program); this last test I decided I would kinda wing it b/c my grade was high enough to do it, & I read 1/2 the chapt...
