  1. Jealous much?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to HeatherB,CST's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Totally agree! I know the class is over, but I would have hightailed it to the department chairman. You've invested both time and money into that class, and the remark made by the professor was...

  2. How much would you have to win to quit working as a nurse? How much would it take?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to mikethern's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I would definitely finish school I would get experience, go back to school to be an nurse educator and then I would set up scholarships and endowments so that educators will get a better wage...

  3. Upsate on trouble-making co-worker

    SarasotaRN2b replied to 2shihtzus's topic in General Nursing

    Well, the first thing that I read that you were talking in the nurse's station to the charge nurse who actually is supposed know what is going on with the patients on the floor. How is that a public...

  4. Starting off the floor in the OR

    SarasotaRN2b replied to divokevan's topic in Operating Room

    I think that you are the best judge of character on where you will be happy. Just check the hospital where you want to work. It used to be that you could enter some areas straight from nursing...

  5. concerns & loan questions

    SarasotaRN2b replied to shoebottom's topic in General Nursing

    :sofahider Sorry, I wasn't trying to sound condescending, I was just pointing something out so that when a student asks for financial aid they won't get a puzzled look in

  6. My Poor Hands have been Washed Raw

    SarasotaRN2b replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ya know, I have a latex sensitivity and when I would mention it, they would give me the nitrile but I still found that my hands would still get irritated. Thanks so much for letting me know I wasn't...

  7. concerns & loan questions

    SarasotaRN2b replied to shoebottom's topic in General Nursing

    Well, first it is Stafford loans, not Stanford loans. And if you have already borrowed the limit for undergraduate which I believe is $46,000...I don't think you'll be able to get them either.

  8. Working holidays and weekends

    SarasotaRN2b replied to mycatmax's topic in General Nursing

    I would just grin and bear it for now, and once you have some more experience you'll have more options. BTW, I too have a cat named Max...is your black?

  9. Having problems with Clinical Terms :( Can anyone help

    SarasotaRN2b replied to rachiee's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would suggest getting a medical terminology

  10. "Private Practice" TV Show

    SarasotaRN2b replied to CNM2B's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I've been watching it and I enjoy it. I watch it more for the actors/actresses on it than for anything else. I think it is a great cast and I'm super happy to see Amy Brenneman (?). I used to love...

  11. Thinking of droping out.

    SarasotaRN2b replied to caliber's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hey, I realize that it was probably just a vent that you needed to let out! I'm sure that many feel this way at least once. If you are having no problems with nursing school itself and are doing...

  12. Anyone know of a Stats class that is completely online?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Lizzy6's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Lizzy, what state are you in? the only way that you are going to get a good community college rate is if you are a resident of that state. If you live in Florida, you should check our St. Petersburg...

  13. I had a very bad day in clinical (ugh)...

    SarasotaRN2b replied to ARRR10's topic in General Students

    My question to the OP is was the PCA pump discontinued? If her pain was that bad why couldn't she just use the pump? I'm not downgrading her pain, but unfortunately there are patients that just...

  14. No nurses on floor during report

    SarasotaRN2b replied to bethin's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Over an hour for report? That is ridiculous. I work as a unit secretary on a cardiac floor. Our nurses work 7-7:30 and usually the last 30 minutes of the shift is when the nurses going off will...

  15. I do not think I am a good nurse

    SarasotaRN2b replied to pmw2007's topic in General Nursing

    I hate to say it, but perhaps Oncology isn't for you. To me that would be an extremely stressful department to work in. Do you think that you would be able to go back to your old unit?

  16. What do I tell my kids??

    SarasotaRN2b replied to GregAnurse2b's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I wouldn't worry to much about it. At the time they told their friends, it was new news, as soon as something else comes along, it'll be old news. Also, I am sure that when you are a nurse and...

  17. Is nursing bad for your waist line?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Sassybottom's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I've decided to nip it in the butt before I start nursing school. I've got mucho to go, but I started WW and work on an ellipitical-type machine everyday but Sunday. I'm 3 weeks in and...

  18. Considering a mid-career change into nursing - Yikes!

    SarasotaRN2b replied to NHGUY's topic in General Students

    Go for it! I'll be 43 when I start this January and a week shy of 45 when I finish. God willing I will be 45 anyway, but being 45 with a nursing degree is my lifelong dream.

  19. Full-time w/ dreams...

    SarasotaRN2b replied to punkstar's topic in Emergency

    I would check into online programs. St. Petersburg College in St. Pete, FL has an online program for RN-BSN. Two of the nurses I work with just started the program which is about 18 months. They...

  20. Would you work during nursing school if you didn't have to?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Would I? yes, in a heartbeat...unfortunately, I am my sole support. I currently work Fri/Sat/Sun 7p-7a...I would love to cut down to two days a week when I start nursing school, but I don't know if...

  21. Frustration with community college

    SarasotaRN2b replied to scallywags's topic in LPN to RN

    Seven years? that is ridiculous. I understand that it may put you back a year, but considering your circumstances do you think that you can petition this? I mean, shoot, your child had a health...

  22. Never Thought I'd Say This - Switching to DAYS!

    SarasotaRN2b replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing

    Best of luck! Your family should come first. Also, I think the benefit is that you will actually get 4 days off during the week. I like nights, but I have found that the first day off is pretty...

  23. Are you relocating after you graduate??

    SarasotaRN2b replied to TopazLPN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm actually debating this. Part of me really wants to move back to NY, but if I stay where I am at for two years after I graduate, I'll definitely have better options as well as the fact that I know...

  24. Daytonite....

    SarasotaRN2b replied to IrishIzCPNP's topic in General Students

    Daytonite, I can only repeat the gratitude I have for you just as hundreds and hundreds of nurses and nursing students have for you. I'm starting to collect info for my journey that starts this...

  25. Is it normal to panic?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to <3Nursing07's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Even though you are not on orientation any longer, it doesn't mean that you can't ask for help. One of the things that I am so impressed with on my unit is that orientation varies to the new nurse....
