Just curious on different experiences where you felt threatened or something happened that was outrageous, something that put you in fear of endangering your health? Etc... Hoping to hear some stories from the interesting stories of being a nurse.

If you can get over the visuals, how do you manage the smells? To me smells are what usually trigger me to gag so what's the best way to overcome that and remain professional? I heard someone mention vapor rub or alcohol swabs but I'm not sure how h...

I know this question may seem silly so I apologize in advance. I'm not referring to common colds, stomach viruses, etc. I know those can be common esspecially in the beggining since your immune system has not adjusted to deal with so many things at o...

Hi everyone, IN ADVANCE: SO sorry if this is long... I am wondering if any of you pre nursing students, student nurses or nurses have PCOS or even any advice on how I can best deal with this. I am NOT looking for medical advice just to get that out b...

First of, I apologize if this question seems odd. I have asked something similar in another context but I would like to get more info... I also want to mention that I am perfectly aware that I will be in contact with bodily fluids, etc. I'm fine wit...

For those not familiar with it, it's a series on Showtime. I realize many of you have time constraints and watching a series may be the least of your worries but does anyone here watch it? I kind of like it although it's not very realistic in some a...

Yup, I'll be in school this summer ...taking 11 credits and working full time.

Yes, you're "searchable" through public records but what I meant is no one can tell me they know what I did the other day, what I like to eat, how someone ****** me off at work or how I dress on the weekend. No one but my actual friends (real life no...

Have you heard back yet? Are you able to call them?

Ummm...sorry and please don't take offense but I have taken MANY drug tests and ALL will have you sit down there and pee again. If you leave they contact the employer. They will accept a second specimen only if you remain there. It just seems odd th...

Hi. I would post this in the General RN program so you can get more answers from working RN's. Most of us are pre-rn students like you. Anyway, I'll give you the answer I think is most true. There is paperwork but most is moving towards being elect...

Everything in moderation.

No FB here. Ever. You cannot google me. Not that I don't see how it MAY be helpful for some and of course with discipline and common sense you can stay out of trouble by either wasting time or posting the wrong things. It's just that I watched a 6...

What would be the easiest order for these classes? Also, what would go ok together? Keep in mind I work full time. Right now I'm taking 11 credits though (2 on campus, one online and one lab) Algebra Anatomy & Physiology 1 Anatomy & Physiolo...

Seems like a silly question but to be honest I've never used flashcards. Not sure where to start. I know the basics but I think I'd get frustrated and "cheat".... any tips? I tend to learn by seeing things or remembering conversations. Should I start...

I'll be working full time and going to school full time this semester (12 credits). Plus, there is my home life. No kids if you don't count hubby... I'm 26...and have been out of school for 6 years and going back to finish what I started... I have ...

Oh wow.... hehe 8. Any nurse who smokes, uses liquor in any form, gets her hair done at a beauty shop, or frequents dance halls will have given the Director of Nurses good reason to suspect her worth, intentions, and integrity. BAD NURSE!

Awww congrats. :up:

If you see no clear path that he's taking to be sober NOW with good intentions then leave it along BUT by what you posted, he apparently doesn't see getting sober before nursing school as a priority so then I would report him. I have never been a "sn...

Oh you guys are great! Seriously you've given me some really good ideas. The description of each pile made me laugh! The duh, ummm and huh piles! I'm going to use it though. I appreciate all the advice. I feel like I've been out of school for so l...

This helps a lot. I always check mine before.

I agree 100%. Honestly, I use to be real good at math until I started missing school (HS) and lost the train. In math when you miss a concept it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE for you to try to take a higher class and get it. I tried that 7 years ago and faile...

lol thanks

Big bugs? I never see bugs...lol. Seriously. I :redbeathe living in Fl.

Hey everyone... We're all going through the same journey so I figured it can't hurt to ask for some advice. I am almost 27 and decided to go back to school to finish what I started. Despite the many careers I've thought off it always has come back to...
