  1. MSN or PhD to teach nursing?

    MissJulie replied to Sunflower3's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    At the school I currently attend (an ADN program), our instructors either have their BSN or are working on their MSN (the college requires atleast a masters for any program). However, there is one...

  2. Flu shot controversy

    MissJulie replied to JeniRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I got my flu shot a couple of weeks ago, and I get one every year. I'm with the others, getting the shot and not getting the flu itself just seems better to me. Now, with the idea that the shots...

  3. A follow-up of my only post; RN to MD.

    MissJulie replied to Loux's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse practioner may be the way to go for you! And, you don't necessarily have to get your ADN first, if you can do it, I'd recommend getting you BSN straight through, that is, unless you plan to...

  4. ADN/BSN/MSN

    MissJulie replied to millerma1993's topic in Nursing Career

    Firstly, as the others have stated, you don't have to start at ADN and work up to MSN, but getting your BSN and then MSN would be the way to go. Secondly, might I suggest taking some electives...

  5. CNA/NAC Because it's a prereq?

    MissJulie replied to mamayogibear's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Our school also requires the CNA class before applying to the LPN/RN class. I believe that the reasoning behind it is built on the idea that you are taught the proper way to do vital signs, some...

    MissJulie replied to mustbcrazy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  8. Entering A Women's World..........

    MissJulie replied to Just1Question's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Personally, I think the main thing is that a nurse is well educated, not what their gender is! Think about how many women have their children delivered by male doctors, surely there wouldn't be a...

  9. Undecided if I should go into nursing. Advice please.

    MissJulie replied to sc0628's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Speaking as a nursing student, I would say that if nursing is something that you think you want to pursue, I would suggest getting you CNA first, or working as an un-certified nursing assistant if you...

  10. Nurses Deserve More Respect!

    MissJulie replied to natasharostova's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking as a nursing student, I can say that I've had it both ways... My parents were, and are, so proud when I decided to become a nurse, and even more when I got my acceptance letter. My mother...

  11. I think I just had a cool idea to help foreign language patients

    MissJulie replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in General Nursing

  13. Orientation TOMORROW!!

    MissJulie replied to Maladroit's topic in General Students

    We had our orientation back in the summer, early June I think. Our orientation was full of rules and regulations and some information from the different clinical sites by the directors of those...

  14. Pharm class.

    MissJulie replied to HCollier's topic in General Students

    Our program has two Pharm classes, but the meds that can treat the different disorders we learn in class, the meds our patients are on at clinical, and any meds included in lab are all fair

  15. theme costume ideas

    MissJulie replied to fiveofpeep's topic in General Nursing

    At work this year, the theme is "Caremore Girls" (our office is Caremore Pain Management) and we're basing it on the Pink Girls from Grease. We're a semi-casual office, so we're doing black capri...

  16. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    MissJulie replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Since I work in a pain management office, I find the fact that people can't pronounce their meds insane! Some of my favorites are: Zanzax for Xanax Zoma for Soma Carpsidol for Carisopridol (generic...

  17. How can I maximize my learning experience at clinical?

    MissJulie replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    I'm REALLY new at this thing called clinicals myself, but I'll share a few things. Our first day, we only did physical assessments, and my patient was a great one. I went in and he was kicked-back...

  18. Frontier NP program

    MissJulie replied to bounceybounce's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on where you from as to whether or not it's well known. I'm from Kentucky, and would love to be able to attend :) The thing with Frontier is that it's the original, and it's concentrated...

    MissJulie replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    "Someone mentioned Highland Regional in Pikeville, which is huge. And then there are others. Good luck!!! =) Actually Highlands Regional is in Prestonsburg. Pikeville's hospital is Pikeville Medical...

  20. Eastern Ky Job Market

    MissJulie replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Paintsville... As for LPN jobs, the main market is in doctors offices and nursing homes. I'd try Paul B. Hall Regional Medical Center and Mountain Manor Nursing Home for Paintsville; for...

  21. To walk with cap and gown or not?

    MissJulie replied to jr3t's topic in General Students

    Our school has a pinning and graduation ceremony for the RN and LPN programs seperate from the rest of the graduation ceremonies. We are not included in the other ceremony, although I wish we at least...

  22. How to deal with a rude classmate?

    MissJulie replied to esunada's topic in General Students

    Personally, I think you have two choices, both depending on how confrontational you want to be: 1. Talk to her, ask her point blank what the problem is. Maybe she thinks you treated her the same way...

  23. Personalizing Stethoscopes?

    MissJulie replied to doublehelix's topic in General Students

    I'm a HUGE Betty Boop fan and found a cute tag where she's dressed like a nurse with a syringe and the whole works, but I guess the adhesive wasn't strong enough, because it broke off and I've never...

  24. Where's the math?

    MissJulie replied to Meagan0928's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here in Kentucky, most schools require college algebra, at least, and my particular school offers a special dosage calculations class. Students who have a strong math background can opt to not take...

  25. Community college waiting lists

    MissJulie replied to erindm's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think the majority of this would depend on the school. The program I'm attending has a waiting list, but, it's only for the semeste - if someone drops out, then people can get in, if you didn't get...
