  2. "Non Moms" good NICU nurses

    I apologize if this question has been asked before. Do you think that generally nurses with children of their own transition better as new grads in the NICU? Do they normally have a higher comfort level that a new grad with no children?
  3. need math refresher course HELP!

    www.purplemath.com is an excellent algebra site. You can search for specific things that you are having problems with also.
  4. Hurricanes-What do you do with your pets?

    In Birmingham, TEARS and the local EMA set up separate pet shelters for locals and evacuees to house their pets during the storm. The radio stations also advertised which motels would accept pets and what the conditions were. My mom and her family c...
  5. Getting paid to sit in class!

    I wish my school had something like that. I have CTS and my instructor flies through his material. I have to write really big to get it all done and then on the weekend spend 20 minutes at a time rewriting them.
  6. I see some punctuation errors, so make sure you get those checked before you send in the final.
  7. LPN's get sued more than RN's?

    I don't know the answer to that, but the only thing I can think of is that it might have to do with the limited scope of practice. Maybe there have been issues with LPNs going outside of that???
  8. Journey to a New Me!

    I know you didn't ask this specifically, but as for capitalizing school subjects...you only do it when there is a course number following. Ex. math vs. Math 112.
  9. Just ordered my books!!

    I tried to order my books online at some of the places that have been mentioned here. Wouldn't you know the school had books customized just for them so I can't get them anywhere else, and the book stores are not selling them used this term. Sheesh...
  10. Financial Aid for Middle Income Nursing Students?

    I can apply for academic bankruptcy once I compelte 18 sequential credits, but at one class per semester that will be awhile. Or I can retake those classes. The problem with that is that they were both business classes which I don't need anymore. E...
  11. Financial Aid for Middle Income Nursing Students?

    That isn't the reason that I don't qualify. I was involved in dual enrollment when I was in high school. My mother said she withdrew me from two classes; the school said that she didn't. So I have two Fs on my transcript that factor into my GPA.
  12. Financial Aid for Middle Income Nursing Students?

    I am lucky that I don't have childcare costs to cover, but I am not married and don't live with parents (haven't since I was 16). Therefore I only have one paycheck to pay all of my bills. My EFC this year was $7500. I can't get loans either. So ...
  13. Financial Aid for Middle Income Nursing Students?

    Sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't be better to quit my job, live off welfare, have a few kids. Then I could go to school for free.. BTW, I am not being serious
  14. my SIL and her husband are both nurses. They met while he was a student nurse at the hospital she works at. She was mentoring his friend. He started out at a different hospital with the same shift as her. She works days 7 on 7 off. Then he swit...
  15. How are all of you paying for school?

    right now I am paying for classes myself. When I was in high school a few students were selected to take dual enrollment at the community college. I didn't drive and everyone else backed out so I couldn't go. My mom said that she withdrew me but ...
  16. Online RN to BSN programs

    I have only looked at my local university and the University of Phoenix's programs. Both would take approximately 3 semesters if you went full time. Since ADN programs don't require some of the same pre-reqs though you might have to take some addit...
  17. A&P Quandry

    at the local university they do cats and human cadavers
  18. Co Worker passed out

    What I know right now is that she and the baby are "okay." We don't know if this incident was pregnancy related or not yet.
  19. Co Worker passed out

    Just asking for your prayers and support. At the company that I work, one of the employees has just passed out. She is a few weeks pregnant and she lost her last baby. Please keep her and her baby in your thoughts.
  20. Co Worker passed out

    I don't have an update yet. I will let you guys know something as soon as I find out. Thanks for your prayers.
  21. Pay Rate

    Sorry Guys! I wont be able to post the article. I was saving the newspaper at home and it somehow got knocked into the floor. My little puppy recognized what newspaper meant, and the rest is history. Cooper Greens starting pay is $16 and some cha...
  22. Adults Who Can't Swallow Pills

    I am one of those who can't swallow pills. When I was little I choked on everything, and I do mean everything (Bacon, baked beans, skittles, ice, popcorn). My parents were always flipping me upside down and banging me on the back while one of them ...
  23. Low/moderate stress nursing jobs???

    Either a Drs office or OR nursing. My MIL works in the OR and she works from 6-5 four days a week no weekends no holidays.
  24. Too good to aide?

    right but, if I am understanding correctly this is not where people are calling off, it's where management is saying we are not busy enough x# of people can go home.
  25. Too good to aide?

    wouldn't it make more sense for the low census days to have different sign up sheets for nurses and cnas. Say on monday we can let go one nurse but we have to keep our aides, and maybe on tuesday two aids can get called off?
