  1. Technology in the classroom/clinical setting

    Maggie in NC posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I've noticed some schools recommend PDAs/WiFi technology, while other schools (mostly in rural areas) run from it. Are nursing educators evaluated on incorporating technology into their teaching...

  2. Getting CNA if not required?

    Maggie in NC replied to GirlCalledJack's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got my CNA even though it wasn't required. My school gave me points in the interview for getting it. BUT I don't think that's the best reason to get it. The best reason is the experience. I learn...

  3. Shoud I just do it??

    Maggie in NC replied to vanillabloom's topic in Nursing Career

    You should do it. I'm 42 (with a 14 year old drama queen!!) going into my second career and I'm definitely not too old (at least I don't think so). If I'm not too old, you can't be!! GO FOR

  4. ridiculous test questions

    Maggie in NC replied to elizabells's topic in General Students

    Deductive reasoning works but, you have to have the basics. I tend to over think this stuff. How do you know the patient can actually stand up to void? That was my only concern with using that answer...

  5. What Nursing school are you in? Show your pride!

  6. Retaliatory termination

    Maggie in NC replied to cowgrl44's topic in General Nursing

    The EEOC considers any enviroment that makes a worker uncomfortable and/or infrindges upon the employee's ability to do their work effectively as a hostile work enviroment. If you were sub peona'ed...

  7. Background Check for Nursing Program

    Maggie in NC replied to 2bnurseguy_2005's topic in General Nursing

    Any time a former employer is called, it should be at the HR level. If you worked for a large corporation, they won't let supervisors give opinion about work performance since that subjective which...

  8. Nurse doing cocaine HELP

    Maggie in NC replied to llgrn1987's topic in General Nursing

    Doing the right thing isn't always easy. Put it to you this way: Picture one of her patients being one of YOUR parents/friends/relatives. If something terrible happened, would you feel comfortable...

  9. Offered a seat in P.A. school-torn

    Maggie in NC posted a topic in Nursing Career

    My goal has always been to get my B.S.N. and work to become a C.R.N.A. Last fall, out of the blue, I applied at a pretty well known P.A. school thinking there was very little chance I would get in-so...

  10. Classes- it stinks when

    Maggie in NC replied to Achoo!'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. Nursing shortage! Nursing program waiting lists!

    Maggie in NC replied to melpip3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The lack of nursing educators has limited the number of applicants. There are very few incentives for nurses to get an MBA and go teach for less than they can make working. That's been a HUGE...

  12. Horrible CNAs! Need to vent

    Maggie in NC replied to Chad_KY_SRNA's topic in General Nursing

    That is so pathetic it warrants a complaint into the state! Weak management as well as poor care deserve to be exposed

  14. Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

    Maggie in NC replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    I am going to nursing school so I can go anywhere I want and get a job and if I get pizzed off-I can sing the only Johnny Paycheck song I know and move on to another job without any problems. I think...

  15. Attention NC Residents

    Maggie in NC replied to NCgirl's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You should check out the differences in the laws from the two states-there is more diversity and latitude in NC. So, if you're not practicing in NC how do you know things are EXACTLY the same? I can...

    Maggie in NC replied to blee1's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I moved from Honolulu to Atlanta. You'll be ok. Just know this, no good saimen to be had-ANY WHERE! Best Chinese (we're are spoiled) is ALL THE WAY in Marietta at House of Chan. The food was a BIG...

    Maggie in NC replied to NicInNC's topic in General Students

    Yeah, well tell you school administrators perhaps someone with a Master's degree in liberal arts would be good to do their next lobotomy. Point: A MASTER IN ANYTHING DOESN'T MAKE YOU QUALIFIED TO DO...

  20. Failing A&P

    Maggie in NC replied to NicInNC's topic in General Students

    Nic, I am assuming based on the "Ice" you are pretty close to me in geography. What book are you using? Please let me know so I can assist you. If you were prefer, send it in a PM. I'd be happy to...

  21. Hearing problems and stethoscope choices

    Maggie in NC replied to Never_too_late's topic in General Students

    If you have a disability-which you do, you should be able to go to your school and get a discounted rate on an electronic stethoscope. I like the electronic Littmans BUT the warranty isn't as good as...

  22. Controversial Proposals Phase II

    Maggie in NC replied to VickyRN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Before you consider advocating for grandfathering, consider other areas of North Carolina that are very rural and not close to a university-like where I live. We are LUCKY to have a community...

  23. Online LPN Programs, I have two listed. Are there anymore?

    Maggie in NC replied to FocusRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Another alternative to add to this...in NC you can get your EMT, paramedic, and work for one year then apply for a 1 year BSN transition program. The upside is you'll be working and learning the whole...

  24. Controversial Proposals Phase II

    Maggie in NC replied to VickyRN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

  25. Cheapest place to find scrubs?

    Maggie in NC replied to studentnurse74's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Don't flame me but, I hate the way WalMart scrubs feel. I really really like 100% cotton scrubs. You have to iron them but, they feel SO much better. Most people could probably care less. I guess it's...
