Maggie in NC

The first part is from a nursing instructor at a college so, YOU KNOW IT's good stuff! Dress as if you were going to a business interview. This would include: Solid color, conservative suit (black, blue) Coordinated blouse ...

I am sure this is probably a stupid question to most of you but, I can't really find the difference between and LPN and a CNA II?? I see several ADN programs that say "Eligible for NAII" after the second semester in the ADN program. Is that consider...

New fun thread. Please finish the sentence: NO she/he did not: Mine: NO SHE DID NOT WALK INTO CLASS WITH a RED THONG CLEARLY SHOWING UNDER HER UNIFORM!:smackingf

Rut Roh...just found out I need a math by March. Anyone know of an online math class on the quarter system I can take? Math 101 is fine. Thanks in advance!!

This week is over, next week is FALL BREAK :balloons: I thought I would see how we are all doing? How are classes/clinicals/home and school going? For me? My school is in jeopardy of not seating a nursing class in the fall so I have been scrambli...

I was watching the news last night and the police chief in Chattagnooga decided to tazer himself with 50,000 volts just to see how it felt. That's just too much dedication to the job! But, it made me think...I'd tazer a few people for fun... I WANT T...

I found out the ADN program at my school may be closing next year because of politics. The school was part of a consortium with Haywood Technical and Southwestern Community College. Haywood Tech has requested to be removed from the consortium which ...

I am getting my CNA this semester while I finish my pre-reqs for the LPN program. Did you find your CNA experience was very helpful in getting your LPN? Also, in my state, we have a CNA II that can do the things listed below. Do you think it would be...

Anyone from Blue Ridge, Blairsville, Hiawassee? Wondering about positions while in nursing school and after. Thanks!!

I've noticed most hospitals in my area have completely banned smoking from the premises and some are even testing employees and won't hire smokers! What's the policy where you are? Thoughts about it? BTW-I'm not a smoker but I do feel workers are g...

Hey! I did A&P separately but had several nursing students in my class. It's doable but you have to really budget your time. The nurses in our class had some clinicals out of the local area and that caused conflicts with study time as well as te...

All three of those classes require a great deal of study time. If you're disciplined, you could probably do it. Would I suggest it? No. Could I survive it with passing grades? Probably not with grades that made me feel good.

First rotation is in the LTC attached to the local hospital. I did my CNA certification there last year and it just bummed me out. Oh well, gotta take the good with the bad!

Another thought: See if the nursing program has evening classes. You're going to be pulling your hair out but you can get everything you want accomplished! Good luck! And, GOD BLESS YOU, cuz I would have to have MASSIVE XANAX if I had 17-25 6th grade...

RE: Missing orientation. I missed orientation at my school because they CALLED my house and said, "There's a meeting Friday at the school regarding the nursing program." I work out of town this summer making $$ for school. I couldn't go. IF she woul...

I bought the Dell Axim X50v because it's a pocket PC, not just an organizer. I love the WiFi connection and the ability to store an extra 2 Gigs of whatever I need. I also bought the car adapter and the wireless keyboard so I can use it in class. Why...

My friend wears nude Spanx that come to her knee under hers. She says they are good for support and keeping the coverage limited!

So...if you have an RN (ADN) would getting a Bachlor's Healthcare Admin really get you any where? Just wondering...

My intent was to show the many cards these people are trying to play to get nurses to join "their cause." The sooner PEOPLE (not just nurses) realize that they can make change without literally paying for it in the form of dues, the better. If anyo...

I am working in telecom in a temporary position making more money than I'll probably ever make in nursing but...I HATE IT. Have you ever been so over something you just couldn't deal? I've traded in my love for techno for nursing. I can't WAIT. Cra...

I haven't thought about med school but I have thought about P.A. school. Just seems as rewarding with better hours than an N.P. Any thoughts regarding my perception are welcome!

We have a cosmotology school at our community college-they give discounts (20%!!) on all haircare products like shampoo, curling irons, and color kits to students. We're talking HIGH END products! See if your school has some deals like that and let u...

The Master may be overkill but, if you have a problem hearing sounds with others talking around you the Master is THE TICKET! Our class even bought our instructor one for Christmas because she commented on how much easier it was to use! Another sell...

I watched my mother die from one of the most painful cancers, bone cancer. She could not move, someone hitting the bed would send her into shocking pain, and riding in a car was excrusiating. Nothing short of a morphine drip eased her pain. (It also ...

I gave my notice too! I'm so outta here on Aug 1. I can't wait to spend the month of Aug with my daughter. School starts Aug 22. I'm starting to freak-even though I bought a PDA and I've been playing with it to get a good feel for how it can help me ...
