  1. Is Chemistry That Important??

    I really can't say the chemistry course I took helped me in my nursing studies, much. Any chemistry I had in microbiology or A&P was very basic and did not require a whole semester of chemistry to...
  2. Anyone feeling stressed.......??

    I suffer from the winter blues pretty bad around this time of year. I feel like I'm running in a hampster wheel.It's cold and dreary, my roof is leaking, I've got so many bills to pay... I actually...
  3. Near Death Experience

    They say LSD can cause a person to have an experience similar to a NDE.I wonder if maybe LSD trips can be real? Maybe they aren't just hallucenogenic, maybe they really do take you to that other...

    I always write in
  5. Motlow State Community College

    I was accepted into Motlow's nursing program, but after some consideration I realized that a two hour drive each way was not practical for me. I know several people who have graduated from Motlow and...
  6. "Nurse Quacktitioner."

    I think that toy is
  7. If you get an examiner who wants to make it hard on you (believe me, they are scattered here and there and they do exist) they can find a reason to fail you. Examiners are not robots. They have their...
  8. online schools cheapen our profession?

    I think I smell a
  9. Should I go into the LVN program or the RN program?

    Mommy2boys, when I went to LPN school I had a one year old and a 2 yr. old. I would go to school, come home, go to bed with the babies at about 8pm, get up at about 2-3am and study until it was time...
  10. Discharge orders you'd LIKE to write!!!

    Yea, only I think it's the other way around...people didn't evolve from monkeys, monkeys evolved from
  11. How much for your soul? (This is very long.)

    It all comes down to money. Hate to be cliche, but money is and will always be the root of all
  12. Is 'E.R' the tv show accurate?

    How do they get THAT many hot-looking single doctors in ONE hospital?
  13. There is very little/no room for error. Like it or not, the examiner you get is a major factor. Generally, if you fail a part you get one repeat, so it kind of evens itself out, because you never have...
  14. I'm now a graduate nurse, though I'm not sure what this means in relaltion to getting a job...can you work as a registered nurse for awhile until you take the NCLEX? I haven't gone job hunting because...
  15. I am waiting to be able to take the RN boards. My question is, if you fail, do you have to wait a certain length of time before you can take them
  16. excelsior accepted in ?? states

    I ditto what you have said. Furthermore, when I contacted the California BON personally, I was told that all applicants (including EC grads who enrolled after the magic date) are looked at on an...
  17. No way, it's not too late. Just remember, though, CRNA schools are very competitive and the minimum requirement is a BSN with at least a year of acute care experience. I don't believe any programs...
  18. CPNE scheduled

    I just want to let you know, the CPNE will likely be the most stressful thing you have ever done. I'm still traumatized. So traumatized, in fact, that even when they handed me my congratulations...
  19. excelsior accepted in ?? states

    Lizz, other's opnions about why CA won't accept EC grads are no more off or crazy than yours...in fact, their conclusions about money being at the root of it all seem more plausible than yours, and as...
  20. Nurses Will Eat Anything

    I just do not understand the hoopla over Krispy Kreme's, I don't care for them at
  21. LPN in charge in the ED?

    There is a whole lot I could say in response to this, but I'll just leave the thread with this thought: the less people know about something the stronger their opinions tend to
  22. excelsior accepted in ?? states

    If it is public enough for the public to know there was a study conducted on how dangerous Excelsior graduates are, I'd say it would be public enough to find out more about it than by anectdotal...
  23. Did anyone here NOT get the HepB shot series?

    I refused the hepB shots, as well as any other
  24. Wearing scrubs in public...

    At first I found this offensive,since (being no slave to fashion) I tend to wear my scrubs even on days I'm not going to work. On the other hand, I find it kind of tacky when I see people at Wal-Mart...
  25. Terminated for typing a petition

    Something about the whole situation just doesn't sit well. I know you're heart was in the right place, but I think it was bad judgement to get involved. I know it can be too easy to get personally...
