  1. Got a promotion because of my big...

    NellieOlsen replied to CareteamRN70's topic in General Nursing

    If you're able to pop them in and out while working, you must not be using a dental adhesive? Use that and I bet they will feel more comfortable, your lisp will be better, and you'll be able to handle...

  2. Got a promotion because of my big...

    NellieOlsen replied to CareteamRN70's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the others that say it was WRONG of them to dangle a promotion in front of you with a promise to wear dentures. It's just not right. I would like to suggest, though, if you do decide to...

  3. What would you do if you received more scholarship money than you needed.

    NellieOlsen replied to Student4_life's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Assuming you mean the funds were received legitimately and not due to an error? I received a full Pell this semester and had funds left over after tuition and books were paid for. I used the funds to...

  4. Male nurse in L&D

    NellieOlsen replied to tony2353's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had a male nurse while pregnant with my last baby. I was there for 6 days due to preterm labor and had him for a few shifts. He was the best, male or female, of the bunch. If I had the choice of a...

  5. Any mamas with a 2-3 yr old and started pre-req's here?

    NellieOlsen replied to Ready-Set-Go's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What classes are you taking? A lot of the pre-reqs can be taken online. (English, math, psychology, ethics, etc...) You could work on school at night after hubby is home. Or maybe put him in daycare a...

  6. Just need to vent...

    NellieOlsen replied to chasingmydreams's topic in General Nursing

    I'm very sorry for your loss. And I'm appalled about that woman laughing at you. I only hope she doesn't suffer a sudden, unexpected of a family member before she realizes how inappropriate that

  7. Taking an algebra course online. Good idea?

    NellieOlsen posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking basic algebra on campus this semester and need to take intermediate algebra next semester. I see it is offered at my school as an online class. Has anyone taken algebra online before? How...

  8. Blood on my hands

    NellieOlsen replied to M.Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for posting that. I often wonder how I will handle emergency situations as I've been known to completely freak out when my kids have been hurt or in danger. I'm glad to know it will still be...

  9. A payroll card instead of a check???

    NellieOlsen replied to fery632's topic in General Nursing

    You just reminded me..my brother works for Olive Garden and that's how they are paid also..But he's a poor college student with no bills so he loves

  10. A payroll card instead of a check???

    NellieOlsen replied to fery632's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty sure my mortgage company and the bank that holds my car loan do not take credit cards. And you can't pay a credit card bill with another credit card. So with the exception of maybe my...

  11. A payroll card instead of a check???

    NellieOlsen replied to fery632's topic in General Nursing

    that's a good option, but still. you're having to take extra steps just to get your money with going to the bank and making a deposit. i don't think it's

  12. A payroll card instead of a check???

    NellieOlsen replied to fery632's topic in General Nursing

    I agree! Using it for groceries or at the mall would be fine and dandy. But what about people that have bills to pay? I'd have to go to an ATM, pay a fee to access the money, then go deposit the money...

  13. Just how difficult is nursing school?

    NellieOlsen replied to michele742's topic in General Students

    Another medical transcriptionist here! Thanks for starting this thread. I'm still doing pre-reqs but worry constantly that I won't be able to handle the stress of nursing school after reading some...

  14. Help I took a percoset and Im a new Hire!

    NellieOlsen replied to Cindy 17's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck! (I typed a post where I shared a story of how taking a pill prescribed to someone else hugely impacted my life but decided it was too personal.

  15. starting prereqs !!

    NellieOlsen replied to sriffey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am also 30-something and entering college for the first time. I graduated high school almost 20 years ago so I had all of the same fears as you! I just finished my first week of college and it...

  16. Not the new grad problem I expected..

    NellieOlsen replied to MInurse.st's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would take the first one, especially since someone pulled some strings to get you an interview. It's close to home, pay is comparable to offer #2, and look at it as a chance to learn a new...

  17. Parents - was nursing school worth it?

    NellieOlsen replied to anc876's topic in General Nursing

    Great

  18. Applying to schools & nursing programs?

    NellieOlsen replied to alva78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely go in and see an adviser. As the others said, it depends on the school. Around here, it can go either way. At the private school, there is one application. If you're accepted to the school,...

  19. Any way to "liven" Psych Reading Up?

    NellieOlsen replied to Iridescent Orchid's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ahh yes! I just started Psych this week too. I had to break up the reading because I was not retaining it all and losing focus. My course came with mypsychlab as well and I found the practice exams...

  20. There's always one....

    NellieOlsen replied to JNUR20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Annoying! I only have 1 class on campus. The others are online. But there is a woman in our class that acts like she's the only student in the room. She asks a ton of questions (that are vague and...

  21. how long does it take to finish the prerequisites?

    NellieOlsen replied to able2009's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our pre-reqs are College Algebra, English comp, A&P I and II, and Psychology. They "suggest" you take a humanities class, microbiology and human development before applying as well since they are...

  22. Fired....What now?

    NellieOlsen replied to Traum-a-Rama's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have an advice. Just wanted to say that I'm sorry you lost your job. Best wishes in your search. Take

  23. Student nurse gets the boot...veteran nurse fired

    NellieOlsen replied to C287's topic in General Nursing

    I just searched for an update on the above case. The student went to court for readmission to the program and she won. She's back in the nursing program, along with the others that were expelled....

  24. Student nurse gets the boot...veteran nurse fired

    NellieOlsen replied to C287's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, that was completely inappropriate and those punished deserved what

  25. What is so hard

    NellieOlsen replied to dreamingofbeing's topic in General Nursing

    You wouldn't think it'd be that difficult. I'd be annoyed too. I used to give references at my former job. It took all of 2 minutes. Pull up employee info, confirm the dates of employment and position...
