  1. Pregnant nursing student/worried

    VolunteerCPR replied to Sbn1012's topic in General Students

    Congrats on the baby :) We are actually TTC and I'm planning to take a semester off if it happens. In my opinion, school and a job will always be there. (Heck, maybe even more jobs the more you wait...

  2. Student feeling hopeless and needing some motivation

    VolunteerCPR replied to nikkole318's topic in General Students

    You just had a bad night, everyone makes mistakes. You will land an RN job, and the economy is not likely to stay crappy forever. There have been ups and downs in the economy for decades, and nursing...

  3. Career move to CNA good idea?

    VolunteerCPR replied to cappi9's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would say no, CNAs really don't make that much, at least in my area. Most CNAs I know live with parents, husband or someone else sharing the

  4. What would you want?

    VolunteerCPR replied to RN1488's topic in General Students

    I won my uniform vest and patches for free at mine

  5. RN to BSN GPA question...

    VolunteerCPR replied to bols27's topic in General Students

    It shouldn't, if you go to another school they will give you transfer credit, but they won't figure the prior school's grades into their GPA calculation for your performance at their

  6. Is there a point in celebrating holidays in nursing school?

    VolunteerCPR replied to Laurenslovely's topic in General Students

    Yes, with four days off I've done lots of celebrating with family and have time to work on a paper and study

  7. If you know someone is going to be fired - do you tell?

    VolunteerCPR replied to Lucky724's topic in General Nursing

    No, I wouldn't want to hear about it from a coworker. I would want to hear it from my boss. He'll likely be hurt that other people knew before he did if you tell

  8. HELP please!!!!

    VolunteerCPR replied to pediatricsismything's topic in General Students

    I was unsure about nursing and took a 2 year break from school. I went back to my previous job outside of nursing. The idea of nursing always sort of nagged at me and I found myself missing it, and...

  9. Ready to start a family, 35, and in nursing school...

    VolunteerCPR replied to Piggles's topic in General Students

    Nursing school will ALWAYS be there. You can be 30, 40, 50, 60 and go to nursing school. Taking a semester off is not the end of the world. On the other hand, you cannot have a baby at 40 without...

  10. Start nursing school with a newborn at home?

    VolunteerCPR replied to nurse2B444's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats :) :) We are TTC now and I'll take my 3rd semester off if I end up being due in Aug. I think nursing school would be an easier time than 12 hour shifts, on the feet all day on a new job. Jobs...

  11. Ready to start a family, 35, and in nursing school...

    VolunteerCPR replied to Piggles's topic in General Students

    You can take a semester off if you want, that's what I'm planning to do. (3rd semester). If you tried & conceived right away you'd be due in late Aug/early Sept. Your job will be there your entire...

  12. Extremely Offensive ER experience

    VolunteerCPR replied to NickB's topic in Emergency

    A patient has the right to refuse any care they want, and they should still never be talked about in the hallway outside their room with a statement like "The medical professionals always know the...

  13. New grad w/question about CPR cert.

    VolunteerCPR replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in General Nursing

    There is a lot of misinformation in this thread. I am a Red Cross CPR instructor. The Red Cross offers CPR for Healthcare Providers, and for the lay person, just as the Heart Association does. The Red...

  14. Need some advice please from Nurses.....

    VolunteerCPR replied to RNRESMITH's topic in General Nursing

    What prevents someone from just saying No, they've never been treated for a mental disorder? Health records are not public information. It's not like a criminal record that would show up on a...

  15. Start nursing school with a newborn at home?

    VolunteerCPR replied to nurse2B444's topic in General Nursing

    OP, do you have any updates? I've read this whole post and I hope you finally got your baby and a job you love :) :heartbeat I agree, having a baby while looking for a job or the first year of working...

  16. Learning Pointless Things in Math Class

    VolunteerCPR replied to taylor9582's topic in General Students

    You do need to know angles to measure with a goniometer to measure a decreased ability to extend an arm or something like that....I've used a lot of algebra and ratio/proportion so far. It is...

  17. In need of moral support r/t corrupt past A.E.B misdemeanor charges

    VolunteerCPR replied to uRN4it's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    ^ That's another good point, if you were 'a kid' under 18, shouldn't the records be sealed? It may be different in different states, but look into your

  18. In need of moral support r/t corrupt past A.E.B misdemeanor charges

    VolunteerCPR replied to uRN4it's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    See if you can get it expunged. Look up how many years to get a misdemeanor expunged in your state. If its expunged, you don't have to report it. It'll probably cost you around

  19. Please help, I am so torn!

    VolunteerCPR replied to mistyc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would go the cheapest route -- the MSN will be expensive in the future so you'll want to start w/as little debt as possible. You can also work as an RN while you get your BSN. As someone already...

  20. Arrested while Occupying Wall Street - Will I Be Hireable?

    VolunteerCPR replied to LookingAhead's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    There are plenty of ways to assemble and practice free speech without getting arrested. My husband works inside one of the buildings targeted by occupy Wall Street, and has been having to listen to...

  21. BABY during School??

    VolunteerCPR replied to Kissa6190's topic in General Students

    I faced a similar decision, and talked to the nursing department chair at my school who said that if I missed a semester to have a baby, there would be no guarantee there would be a spot for me when I...

  22. Question about becoming nurse

    VolunteerCPR replied to RichV's topic in General Nursing

    Really research the CRNA if that is the only aspect of nursing you're interested in, because you'll need at least a year of ICU experience to get accepted into a program (which is another 3 years of...

  23. Three times was not the charm

    VolunteerCPR replied to lostdecade's topic in General Students

    Sometimes things happen for a reason, maybe nursing is not your calling in life. You sound like you've become burnt out on nursing. Is there something else you could do that would be fresh and new to...

  24. DNP programs at schools with daycare?

    VolunteerCPR posted a topic in Illinois Nursing

    I realize this is a long shot, but I thought I would check to see if anybody knew of an Illinois school with a DNP program that offered daycare to children under 2. I saw that UIC has DNP programs,...

  25. Free tuition for nursing school?

    VolunteerCPR replied to nicole769's topic in Illinois Nursing
