    xtxrn replied to artbest40's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    xtxrn replied to Understand's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  7. volunteering at a local hospital while in nursing school

    xtxrn replied to nursingstudent_88's topic in General Students

    You're in your first year? I know it's frustrating to not get to do skills. There will be more opportunities- just keep looking for all you can- and remember you can't get what isn't there :) As a...

  8. How soon you will be drug tested after admission?

    xtxrn replied to The ER Biker's topic in General Students

    You are right. :) I think the reason for folks getting uptight (or whatever phrase/word was used) is that this comes up fairly often. It's not about you personally, as we don't know you If you're...

    xtxrn replied to sdlane's topic in General Students

    That's sad. It's bad enough that nursing school seems to be such a goose chase to just get in, and then not be able to get the classes you need is ridiculous. I'm sorry you're having to go through...

    xtxrn replied to talaxandra's topic in Nursing Humor

    xtxrn replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    I looked this up a couple of weeks back, and did find something under HIPAA and reporting fraud. I didn't keep the link- but it was under one of the government sites (so not some flaky thing to...

    xtxrn replied to Understand's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  23. How soon you will be drug tested after admission?

    xtxrn replied to The ER Biker's topic in General Students

    Here's the thing. With drugs like pot, it can take up to 3 months to leave your system, depending on amount/frequency of usage; uppers/narcs? Those generally clear sooner and more predictably. Booze...

  24. Suggestion

    xtxrn replied to studentrnnurse's topic in General Students

    Do you want to, or no? I did that and loved it. I hated the idea of working ED, but it was great to see what goes on down there- especially when I'd get admissions, and knew how crazy it can get
