  1. Confessions of a Job hopper

    sno963 replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you really enjoyed the school aide job. Maybe you could try to go back to that full time instead of PRN? Clinical nursing is just the standard, but who says you have to be standard?...

  3. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    sno963 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree with this! I do not understand students who say they went into nursing for the money. I have always understood nursing is a solid middle class career and we all know where the...

  4. Immersion in Med/surg

    sno963 posted a topic in Medical-Surgical

    I loved it. I thought it was challenging and rewarding. I had many patients ask me why I had different colored scrubs than the other nurses, and when I said I was student they exclaimed they thought I...

  6. Shaking while putting in IV

    sno963 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry if there is a thread about this already, but I couldn't find anything when I searched that matched what my problem is. I don't naturally have shaky hands or a shaky body, but when I go to...

  7. Shaking while putting in IV

    sno963 replied to sno963's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for all the responses! I will definitely try to breath a little more (I always hold my breath in anticipation of getting a flash back!). I barely drink caffeine/coffee so jitters isn't...

  8. Obamacare and Mark of Beast... wrong time to be a nurse?

    sno963 replied to tarotale's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I understand where you are coming from but your basis is incorrect. If you were to give your opinion about a book before reading it, there is no basis for your opinion. If you were to eat an apple...

  9. Obamacare and Mark of Beast... wrong time to be a nurse?

    sno963 replied to tarotale's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Why have I not seen this on Fox news yet? To the OP, I hope you are learning from this as many of these wonderful AN posters have given real insight into how to research appropriately and use basic...

  10. Assignment for a BSN on line class

    sno963 replied to sistasoul's topic in General Nursing

    Guide to Culturally Competent Health Care by Purnell & Paulanka is a great reference for the types of questions you are asking and also gives you a good reference instead of saying "got this from...

  12. What do I need for nursing school?

    sno963 replied to amanda081106's topic in General Students

    A laptop, lots of copy paper (printer and ink!), don't forget sleep =p. I know sleep is the first thing to go, but try and get enough to be able to function without large amount of caffeine! Good luck...

  14. Sorry, helping is just not an option.

    sno963 posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am so angry right now, I am not sure if this is the right place to put this. I hope you guys don't mind me ranting a bit! So I work for a home health agency and we are always seemingly short on...

    sno963 replied to sno963's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Thank you all for your thoughtful and wonderful answers! I am such a newbie to all of this and I am glad I got the opportunity to mess up young =p. The numbers I called were actually numbers the...

    To the person who PM'd me (I cannot PM until 15 posts :/): If you already have a degree, you may not be eligible for grants but still fill out a FAFSA! Go to google and type in FAFSA it's free so...

  17. ASU Summer of 2011 applicants!

    sno963 replied to nursingstudent21's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Just so no one gets their facts wrong, Spring 2011 did not get to take the test twice. That was Fall 2010. Our select GPA was the highest of all the groups so far (they are telling us...

    sno963 replied to dreamingbig's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Even though I got in, I really wish they had pulled through with the 90 person interview. We need helpful, supportive RN's out there, and it seems like all the alternates posting on here are just...
