  1. BSN requirement for all RNs

    December716 replied to cindylousmith's topic in General Nursing

    Put my vote in for yes. I think as nursing becomes more and more complex, a BSN should be required, or some form of standardization for entry into

  2. Any underweight nurses?

    December716 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I didn't want to hijack the other thread about weight (any overweight nurses...) but I have a few concerns regarding my weight and nursing, and I'm on the other end of the spectrum. Does being...

  3. smoking students

    December716 replied to vickynurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Cigarette smells make me sick, even after the person tries to mask it. They literally make me feel ill. At the hospital I volunteer at, you're not allowed to wear perfume or hair products with a smell...

  4. Is being an OB/GYN nurse rewarding?

    December716 replied to MAMIDE02's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OB nuring is where my heart is set right now (I'm a pre-nursing student). It's also the ward of the hospital I'm volunteering in right now! To the OP, stick to it if it's something you love and have...

  5. Any underweight nurses?

    December716 replied to December716's topic in General Nursing

    I'm starting an adult gymnastics class soon. The first hour is focused on muscle training, the second on stretching, and the third on flips and stuff. Hopefully that'll help me out when it comes to...

  6. ADN NP's...?

    December716 replied to Dave ARNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's really confusing to the public what a nurse does and what it takes to be nurse, because of the fact that there isn't a standardization of education. Until there is a standardization, until a...

  7. Hypothyroidism????

    December716 replied to Mandarella's topic in General Nursing

    My TSH was never that high, only about 6. But I felt AWFUL. I was tired ALL the time and if I even touched my hair, huge clumps would fall out. I hated taking showers, because so much of my hair would...

  8. birth control and a lump( kinda graphic i guess)

    December716 replied to Godswill's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm very sensitive to pills and hormones. I took orthotricyclen and had awful mood swings. I was very wary of switching to another pill, but I am married, and we don't really want a baby right now...

  9. Professionalism and Nurses

    December716 replied to Dixiedi's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that everyone involved in treating a patient (LPN, CNA, RN, etc.) needs to act in a professional manner. Anyway, when I first saw this thread, I was like, "Oh cool! Nurses as a profession!"...

  10. Raunchy advertisement

    December716 replied to Repat's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I've got a copy of the ad on my website if anybody wants to see

  11. "How old are you?"

    December716 replied to jaimealmostRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the compliment! You're the third person that has said to me I look like Kirsten Dunst! I do agree with the poster that said to drink LOTS of water! I want my skin to be healthy and young...

  12. "How old are you?"

    December716 replied to jaimealmostRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet (I'm taking my pre-req's) but people think I'm 13-15. I went to get my driver's permit just a few months ago and the lady was like, "Do you have parental consent and have you...

  13. Ob Nursing Question

    December716 replied to MarAshJoe's topic in General Nursing

    Right now, OB is my dream nursing job too. My aunt is an OB nurse and I've always loved what she does. I'm volunteering in an OB unit right now, so hopefully that'll help with getting my foot in the...

  14. Zoloft...Any Personal or Professional Advice?

    December716 replied to nurseygrrl's topic in General Nursing

    That is so weird! One of the symptoms I experience when I take my Celexa too late is a buzzing in my head (like electricity). When I quit Celexa the first time, it was AWFUL for three months. I...

  15. Zoloft...Any Personal or Professional Advice?

    December716 replied to nurseygrrl's topic in General Nursing

    I've been on Celexa (20mg) since January of this year (before that I was on it (40mg) for a year and stopped). I'm on it to treat anxiety and depression and it's worked wonders for me. I've had no...

  16. Best Washington City

    December716 replied to Gem_jewelry's topic in Washington Nursing

    I'm not sure what you mean by "best". In terms of nicest area, I like the east side (Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland, etc.). In terms of lowest cost of living, the south end is where you'd want to be...
