  5. Dropped test

    RunnerRN2015 replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

  6. I'm starting a career in CNA. Any advice?

    RunnerRN2015 replied to kikkidee6's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  7. positive TB test........now what?

    RunnerRN2015 replied to 2bmalenurse2012's topic in General Students

  9. You look too young to be a nurse

    RunnerRN2015 replied to SwansonRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I get that frequently when I tell people I have an almost 21 year old and an 18 year old. I've heard "You don't look old enough to have kids that age. Did you get knocked up in high school?" A LOT....

  10. What classes are you taking?

    RunnerRN2015 replied to haileyjewell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    RunnerRN2015 replied to Hkroeck's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I've applied to 45+ CNA positions (all within the same healthcare system) over the past 6 months and have yet to get ONE interview. I finally got hired at a random LTC facility but I'm still applying...

  12. Anatomy Flashcards: YES OR NO?

    RunnerRN2015 replied to peachshan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For me, part of the learning comes from making my own. The process of writing them out is one more step toward knowing the material and not just memorizing

  13. Spring 2013 Admission

    RunnerRN2015 replied to NICUmiiki's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I earned guaranteed admission for spring 2013 so I already know I'm in! I'm finishing up A&P2 and Med Term now and will take Micro in the fall. Once I start in the spring, ALL of my non-nursing...

    RunnerRN2015 replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Nursing

  16. Carolinas College of Health Sciences

    RunnerRN2015 replied to KristenW123's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Sorry for your frustrations! The pre-nursing letter will be mailed separately as they stagger when things get mailed out. I'm sure you'll hear something soon. Good

  17. Does this sound like TB induration

    RunnerRN2015 replied to ilovemicrobiology's topic in General Nursing

    The same thing happened to me 20 years ago. The other nurses said it was fine but the nurse doing my reading said it was too big and I was doomed ever since. I was put on INH for 6 months and can no...

    RunnerRN2015 replied to KristenW123's topic in North Carolina Nursing

  19. What are your thoughts on patients who request no male nurses taking care of them?

    RunnerRN2015 replied to Mike A. Fungin RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    My grandmother was very uncomfortable with male nurses/CNA doing her personal care so we would politely ask for a female if one was available. At the LTC facility I'm at, we have a couple of female...

    RunnerRN2015 replied to IndyElmer's topic in General Students

    Since this post is full of white board lovers, anyone know how to get something uneraseable off of one? I had an issue with one of our dry erase markers - it stopped being erasable and there's writing...

  23. Accepted as # 18 on the standby list. Be honest-what are my chances

    RunnerRN2015 replied to bluestorm's topic in General Students

    My school only accepted 2 or 3 people from the waitlist for fall (class size is 64, I think) and they aren't expecting to admit any more. However, in the spring, everyone on the waitlist got in (not...
