  1. How often do you get sick? More or less often than

    Seas replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

    Never. Maybe 1 runny nose per year. No, I am not a healthy eater or anything. I know I shouldn't get sick or anything to prevent any absences. My body obeys this rule quite well so far. One more...

  2. Volunteering in Maternity and PP-what do I need to know?

    Seas replied to MadameFreckles's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Don't expect to touch any patient or baby just yet, at least without knowing what your duty is. Volunteers are not to teach anything to the patient, or not to take care of babies or moms there ; it is...

  3. failed pre-employment drug screen

    Seas replied to chk888's topic in General Nursing

    Well, you mostly likely won't be hired. I don't know what happens after that. Do you plan to smoke weed or anything like that? If so, nursing is not for

  4. fired... where can a bad nurse go to find a job?

    Seas replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    If you are not sufficient as a nurse and are not interested in improving, you can always quit and find another job, not career but job I mean. Waitressing sounds less stressful. I'd go with

  5. Should I stop @ lpn or go on and get my rn?

    Seas replied to toshaann5's topic in LPN to RN

    For your information: I, as a RN, clean patient's bottom, give bath, change patient's beds, empty foley bags, clean the floor if soiled by poop/urine, and many more a nurse aide does. Every day. My...

  8. Patient fell and died a few days later, was it my fault?

    Seas replied to GlitterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I believe this fall could have been prevented. That's my only opinion and comment on this topic. And I want to add this. Someone claimed it was the OP's fault and stated reasons. Why did everyone...

  9. BSN but want to take LPN/LVN exam. HELP!

    Seas replied to quebby224's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't understand how you are going to work while waiting to take your RN boards. Do you have a job lined up for LPN position somewhere? It is not that easy to find an employment, let me tell you...

  10. PICU vs ICU

    Seas replied to cag01's topic in General Nursing

    I would do PICU, get the 2 years down and go from there. PICU is an ICU too, just peds version. So, you would have critical care experience already when applying for ICU positions. I don't think you'd...

    Seas replied to Kateoh82's topic in General Students

  12. Posting your Exam Grades on Facebook

    Seas replied to Kateoh82's topic in General Students

    Ahhh, nursing school times. Nearly my whole class had facebook, and we were friends there. We posted our grades nearly every time for each other to see. I posted my failing and perfect exam grades. I...

  13. RN student and asking about personal meds?

    Seas replied to ilovemicrobiology's topic in General Nursing

    It is not a violation. First of all, they are asking you, not your friend about you. Second, they need it; there is a reason for

  14. What are you doing in between prereqs and NS?

    Seas replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a summer in between. I so had a summer break and went on a vacation. Nursing school is really busy and your mind needs a break beforehand, I

  15. Associates Degree in Vocational Nursing?

    Seas replied to O.Nato's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Cool, that's what I have been saying. Well, I don't know what degrees LVN hold in it though as long as you cannot go to a hiring manager and say " I have my associates degree in nursing, I am a LVN."....

  16. Associates Degree in Vocational Nursing?

    Seas replied to O.Nato's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Umm... There is my links from some states' board of nursing pages: http://kbn.ky.gov/nr/rdonlyres/13e22447-9940-43ec-9fc7-719237f4e7e8/0/ncsbn_cpkybroch.pdf (pg 6)...

    Seas replied to O.Nato's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yeah, I checked the links. I expected to see an official nursing board statements, but they were all schools. I don't know what those schools are talking about.lol. The lowest degree in nursing is...

  18. Associates Degree in Vocational Nursing?

    Seas replied to O.Nato's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Right. Go for Associates in Nursing which is 4 semester long that makes you able to sit for NCLEX-RN. The other one won't let you sit for NCLEX-RN but

  19. Associates Degree in Vocational Nursing?

    Seas replied to O.Nato's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    No no. You don't have to become a LVN first to be a RN. Some people choose to be LVN first; but it is not a requirement for RN. You can pick either one and be either LVN or

  20. Any phobias you overcame to become a nurse?

    Seas replied to linzjane88's topic in General Nursing

    If I ever become an OR nurse which I am interested, I will have to overcome my bone procedures fear. Other than that, no, not

  21. Associates Degree in Vocational Nursing?

    Seas replied to O.Nato's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    There is no such thing as Associate degree in vocational nursing. Vocational nursing is not a degree, period. What might happen is you get an Associates degree in an area close to nursing along with...

  22. Do you worry about your patients after leaving work?

    Seas replied to gigglymo's topic in General Nursing

    If I work a few days in a row with a somewhat critical patient, I think and wonder about their progression when I am off work. But I won't do it in a daily basis, or I won't worry about them when at...

  23. I need emotional support ...

    Seas replied to TheLiberation's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It might be because you have like 2 months until the test. So it doesn't even feel real yet. You study here and there thinking you have plenty of time anyway. It is not the best idea to put off this...

  24. Electronic documentation has stolen the human touch from nursing.

    Seas replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    Umm.. I guess I don't understand it. What does computer documentation have to do with patient contact/touch? If it wasn't computer, it would be a paper that you are looking more than the patient. You...
