  1. Is there a nurse on the plane?

    rumwynnieRN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Are you held to the same standard if you're flying from country to country? What if you're flying from Japan to Korea or something like that? The origin of your license shouldn't matter right?...

  2. Denied from nursing schools

    rumwynnieRN replied to buckeye47's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't be discouraged; it took me 2 years to get into a nursing program, and when I finally did, I hated where I was. I'm back in nursing school, but much closer to home, and my biggest regret was not...

  3. Civilian SN marrying SSgt. Jobs?

    rumwynnieRN posted a topic in Government, Military

    I'm in nursing school right now, and hopefully I graduate Dec. 2012. I have a vague idea of the job situation here, but what about when I move in with my husband? I think he'll be back stateside when...

  4. Civilian SN marrying SSgt. Jobs?

    rumwynnieRN replied to rumwynnieRN's topic in Government, Military

    So when would it be appropriate to apply? Usually people start applying for their jobs well before graduation, but does it change in this situation? Should I wait until I pass

  5. Getting over a negative clinical experience a year and a half ago

    rumwynnieRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I think this might be more than the clinical experience -- it might be my entire experience at this particular school that lingers in my head, and I think it's keeping me from really moving forward...

  6. Any nurses out there with siblings who are doctors?

    rumwynnieRN replied to digitiminimi's topic in General Nursing

    It's almost the opposite for me -- I come from a family of nurses and every so often we spit out a doctor or someone marries a doctor. Everyone has dumb doctor/nurses jokes for everyone else. We're...

  7. In regards to pre-req's, should I take two Psychology classes in the summer?

    rumwynnieRN replied to AspiringRNofLove's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know what the school or classs is like, but I've taken 3 upper-level psych classes in one semester. If you can handle it, and you've had a good background in psych before, it shouldn't be a...

  8. I would like an idea of what nursing school is going to be like

    rumwynnieRN replied to clclc4444's topic in General Students

    It depends on a lot of things; here in Houston, the general consensus is none of us really have a life, and we've all learned in some shape or form to say no to a lot of things (I'm talking about the...

  9. Getting over a negative clinical experience a year and a half ago

    rumwynnieRN replied to rumwynnieRN's topic in General Nursing

    :hug:I didn't know they had those. How cute! I don't know what "don't fil" means, but to answer your question -- A lot of both. The big ones were in the original post, but some of the smaller/medium...

  10. Civilian SN marrying SSgt. Jobs?

    rumwynnieRN replied to rumwynnieRN's topic in Government, Military

    What scares me is that if I move with him right after nursing school is that I won't get a job because of lack of experience. Will that have a lot of weight? Do government contractors look at

  11. Getting over a negative clinical experience a year and a half ago

    rumwynnieRN replied to rumwynnieRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, all of that happened during fundamentals. Half of me thinks I'm masochistic for going back to nursing school; I think anyone else would've said, "Eff this, I'm looking at another profession." I...

  12. Getting over a negative clinical experience a year and a half ago

    rumwynnieRN replied to rumwynnieRN's topic in General Nursing

    There's a lot more, but those were the big ones in clinical. Thank you:) It helps when people remind me to get over it, and I find out I'm not crazy with the issues I had. To my teacher's defense,...

  13. Please help Failed Nursing Classes

    rumwynnieRN replied to sweetie2525's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Nascar nurse is right -- I don't like to sound like a grammar nazi either, but your teachers who have at least MSNs or PhDs expect a higher level of communication and writing, and it makes people,...

  14. Medical Term Clarification

    rumwynnieRN replied to ClimbingRN2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The dorsal aspect refers to the back of your hand. The dorsal side of the hand the same skin color as the rest of the body (such as face, legs, etc). The palm of the hands will almost always be...

  15. TWU vs UTh

    rumwynnieRN replied to RadioSue29's topic in Texas Nursing

    Probably. I think it's also partly because for some, PV is pretty obscure when compared to TWU and UT. I know a lot of people who went to PV's CON, and they didn't like it for a bunch of reasons, but...

  16. TWU vs UTh

    rumwynnieRN replied to RadioSue29's topic in Texas Nursing

    When you get into a nursing program here in the Medical Center, you MUST have hepB, the flu shot (the one that covers H1N1 and whatever strain they think people will get), a TB skin test, and I...

  17. Texas Tech RN-BSN, Fall 2011 class

    rumwynnieRN replied to jsmitc's topic in Texas Nursing

    When I went to Tech, they waited until the week before orientation to tell me that I was accepted into the traditional BSN. When I say "week," I mean like 5 days notice. I don't go to Tech anymore...

  18. Mean Doctors....

    rumwynnieRN replied to mnrb_mdn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's funny when they can't say anything back and realize they're being jerks. I can see the steam

  19. Prairie View Fall 2011 Hopefuls

    rumwynnieRN replied to lovesunshine's topic in Texas Nursing

    I thought patho was a lot easier than health assessment, but to each his own. There's only one patho teacher, and she teaches it for everyone. You won't be as stressed during fall if you take health...

  20. An open letter to the ER triage nurse

    rumwynnieRN replied to laurasc's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Send the letter. It's true we don't know what her side of the story is, but by sending the letter, you open the door for discussion between (hopefully) said nurse and her boss. There are a variety...

  21. Facebook almost cost me my job

    rumwynnieRN replied to ReginaPhalange's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    i agree. i use to keep my profile extremely private, but as time went on with the changes in their privacy settings and more people were getting in, i started thinking about whether i wanted to keep...

  22. Have you ever been insulted for what you do?

    rumwynnieRN replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    I get insulted when I attempt to explain the health care side of issues; seeing as most of the insults are online, it's not like I'll run into these people. It's amazing how people forget there's...

  23. List your school if you use HESI exit exam.

  24. Civilian SN marrying SSgt. Jobs?

    rumwynnieRN replied to rumwynnieRN's topic in Government, Military

    Thank you very much:) and my husband would appreciate the

  25. Facebook almost cost me my job

    rumwynnieRN replied to ReginaPhalange's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I got rid of facebook when school started again (not deactivated; I deleted it completely). It was too much of a distraction. I went so far as to block facebook from my computer. It's been great...
