    EmilyCCRN replied to mstockwe's topic in General Students

  7. when you are stressed about school, do you smoke cigarettes?

    EmilyCCRN replied to sad's topic in General Students

    I AGREE! I have never smoked a cigarette in my life, and I'm certainly not going to start now because school is "stressful". I can barely stand to be within 20 feet of someone who is smoking, so I...

  8. How Much Time Do You Spend on AllNurses.com

    EmilyCCRN replied to Jrnalist2RNinOR's topic in General Nursing

    I usually spend at least 30 minutes per day on this site. I'm a brand new nursing (ADN) student, and I really enjoy hearing from actual nurses in all kinds of settings. You all are

  9. Any Nurses/Nursing Students With Latex Allergy?

    EmilyCCRN replied to RDH2RN's topic in General Nursing

    I have a latex allergy, but my school is very supportive. They provide non-latex gloves and other items in the lab, and all the facilities we go to for clinicals have non-latex items, as well. I...

  10. Moving to Portland

    EmilyCCRN replied to nurse sandy's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I personally like both the Legacy and Providence hospitals. I've known nurses who have worked for both and no one has any terrible complaints. :) Legacy's Emanuel Hospital is a trauma center, so...

  11. why can't I get a travel nurse position as a LPN?

    EmilyCCRN replied to Docker's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still just a student, but I've noticed that there are hardly any LPN jobs listed in the Portland area classifieds (but there are TONS of RN jobs). Also, one thing that surprised me when I started...

  12. Things that make you go ewwwwwww!

    EmilyCCRN replied to nurscee's topic in General Nursing

    Ahhh, I see. :) I (so far) have been fortunate to have not seen too many gross things done by nurses, but here's one from a couple of months ago: I was donating blood at the Red Cross and the RN was...

  13. HUGE A&P Dilemma, object to dissecting cats, any options?

    EmilyCCRN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a cat lover, but I did participate in cat dissections during A&P I. Beyond any animal rights issues, I felt that it was not very useful to dissect cats when our future patients are all...

    EmilyCCRN replied to tperk83's topic in General Nursing

    In my ADN program we have 10 clinical hours per week (five hours per day for two days) during our first year. We also have 14 classroom hours per week and we will spend another 4-5 hours at the...

  16. Pregnant and Nursing School??

    EmilyCCRN replied to Katydidit34's topic in General Nursing

    A second-year student in my program had a baby last December a few days before finals. She actually brought the baby to school when he was a few days old so that an instructor could watch him while...

  17. Doesn't anyone want free labor anymore?

    EmilyCCRN replied to jen42's topic in General Nursing

    As I recall, the American Red Cross does not collect blood donations in Seattle (I think it's the Puget Sound Blood System that does it), but perhaps your local blood bank needs volunteer RN's for...

  18. Is it possible to finish an ADN in 2 years?

    EmilyCCRN replied to andreamae's topic in General Students

    This sounds a lot like our ADN program. We had to take a full year of A&P (three terms), chemistry, microbiology, nutrition, human development, computer science (or just test out of it if you're...

  19. Moving to Portland

    EmilyCCRN replied to nurse sandy's topic in Oregon Nursing

    The two major hospital systems here are Legacy and Providence, but there's also a Kaiser Permanente and a few other hospitals in the greater Portland area, including OHSU. Here are a few websites that...

  20. RN volunteer opportunities

    EmilyCCRN replied to momof3sons's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'm not sure if it would be available to you in your particular area, but the American Red Cross has volunteer positions for nurses. I spoke with some of the nurses last time I donated blood and they...

  21. GOOD nursing shoe suggestions other than Danskos??

    EmilyCCRN replied to NCNurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    I have been wearing Dansko Professionals daily for the past four years (I just now entered nursing school), and I can't imagine wearing anything else! I have every intention of wearing my white ones...
