  1. CNA Rant

    SarahLovesNovember posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm fairly new to working as a CNA in a nursing home and I'm already losing my mind. First off, I have to mention that I was a medic in the Army for four years, have seen and dealt with many critical...

  2. Home Nurse - Quadriplegics

    SarahLovesNovember posted a topic in Home Health

  3. The LPN's role on the NCLEX??

    SarahLovesNovember replied to SoulShine75's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    They can NOT do assessments, discharges or admits. This is in the NCLEX world. I've known real world LPN's to do them but not in the "NCLEX Hospital". Eliminate those basics on the test and you'll...

  7. Anyone utilizing Army Reserve STRAP program?

    SarahLovesNovember replied to beedog13's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm looking at doing the STRAP program for my RN-BSN. They told me I CAN utilize my Post 9/11 GI Bill AND the STRAP at the same time. You also have to prove that you are working at least per diem...

    SarahLovesNovember replied to SarahLovesNovember's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! I figured it'd end up being that way. I was just looking for an easy way out!

  10. When to apply for jobs? May 2010 grad

    SarahLovesNovember replied to SarahLovesNovember's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for the replies. So...quick question about references. I have many people willing to write reference letters for me. Is it "rude" to have a basic "To whom this may concern" or...

  11. JUST GOT HIRED!

    SarahLovesNovember replied to hopingtobeanRNsoon's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    A job, is a job, is a job in today's hard job economy. Enjoy the experience, get your feet wet and once you have a year or so under your belt...leave if you so choose!

    SarahLovesNovember replied to jlcole45's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No no no...I don't mean to say that you sound petty for caring about money. It was just a

  15. Having major concerns going the FNP route....

    SarahLovesNovember replied to jlcole45's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree. Off course we all have to pay our bills but I just find how funny it is that people focus on salaries on these boards. Maybe one day, after I have a few more years of experience under my...

  16. NH programs for ADN-MSN/ or BSN

    SarahLovesNovember replied to ncoli123's topic in General Nursing

    Any RN-BSN programs that are a year

  17. Having major concerns going the FNP route....

    SarahLovesNovember replied to jlcole45's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just a little curious. How can most of you say "only 30 dollars an hour"? Do you know how many people would kill to be making 20 dollars an hour? Shoot...that would make my life a lot easier right...

  18. Started Nursing and went MIA

    SarahLovesNovember replied to JenDoll's topic in General Students

    Elsabelles, I somewhat agree with you. I have kinda migrated away from friends, but family comes first. I have to do things to keep me from freaking out and becoming a high strung student. If I'm too...

  19. Which school are you all going to?

    SarahLovesNovember replied to somethingbetter4me's topic in General Nursing

    I go to St. Joseph's School of Nursing in Nashua for my ADN. I like the program and if I were you...I'd consider applying there. Look on the website to see if you have the pre req's. Good

  20. So . . .is nursing your final stop?

    SarahLovesNovember replied to EthnicBeauty's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For all of you who stop at your ADN/ASN...do not be down about it. You are still a nurse that works at the same level as the BSN nurse. You can be the nurse that makes a patient's day and will...

  21. Horrible study skills

    SarahLovesNovember replied to shippoRN's topic in General Students

    I am right there with you. It takes everything within me to sit down and actually study and read. Luckily I've been getting great grades until this last exam which bothered me a bit. I really need...

  22. So . . .is nursing your final stop?

    SarahLovesNovember replied to EthnicBeauty's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have always wanted to get involved in JCAHO....or simply "Joint Commission" as they call themselves now. The military drilled it all in my head so intensely that I've come to love it. Strange...I...

  23. How many years an RN before MSN?

    SarahLovesNovember posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    On average, for those of you ANP's on this board, how many years were you an RN before applying to a Master's degree program? Thank

  24. How many years an RN before MSN?

    SarahLovesNovember replied to SarahLovesNovember's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There is definitely a lot to be weighed here. I guess I always underestimate my time in the military as a medic. I never count that as nursing experience. I should probably change my
