  1. Is Chemistry That Important??

    Jo Dirt replied to rafael80's topic in General Nursing

    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.......??

    Jo Dirt replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    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

    Jo Dirt replied to nursemelani's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  5. Motlow State Community College

    Jo Dirt replied to erolen's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    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...

  7. CPNE ... What is so Horrific/Difficult about it ... ?

    Jo Dirt replied to jasmine7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    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...

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

    Jo Dirt replied to mommy2boys's topic in General Nursing

    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!!!

    Jo Dirt replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in Emergency

  11. How much for your soul? (This is very long.)

    Jo Dirt replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

    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?

    Jo Dirt replied to AussieJack's topic in Emergency

    How do they get THAT many hot-looking single doctors in ONE hospital?

  13. CPNE ... What is so Horrific/Difficult about it ... ?

    Jo Dirt replied to jasmine7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    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. What good is it to be a GN?

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    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. Are there waiting periods if you fail the NCLEX?

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    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

    Jo Dirt replied to 1dreday's topic in Online Distance Learning

    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. Too late to become a CRNA?

    Jo Dirt replied to Lyndi's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    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

    Jo Dirt replied to ltb17599's topic in Online Distance Learning

    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

    Jo Dirt replied to 1dreday's topic in Online Distance Learning

    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...

    Jo Dirt replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

    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?

    Jo Dirt replied to carribeanbound's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    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

    Jo Dirt replied to 1dreday's topic in Online Distance Learning

    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?

    Jo Dirt replied to marilynmom's topic in General Nursing

    I refused the hepB shots, as well as any other

  24. Wearing scrubs in public...

    Jo Dirt replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    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

    Jo Dirt replied to cdsable's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    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...
