  2. Abnormal Hormone Levels

    Katie828 posted a topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    Just wondering if anyone could give ideas about what condition(s) would cause these hormones to be abnormal. I am stumped along with the MDs. I am not asking for medical advice. I have a patient I...

  3. I applied to nursing school...now what?

    Katie828 replied to stillwag's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm waiting too. I asked first-year nursing students what I should do. Basically....enjoy life NOW because you won't have much of one in nursing school. If you are bored, is there a hobby or...

  4. Getting into nursing school with a mental illness? Is it going to be possible?

    Katie828 replied to lntm2925's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    "Antipsychotics" are used for many conditions besides psychosis...if that is what helps you, don't be afraid of the medication's classification. Don't give

  5. Do I tell my manager?

    Katie828 replied to NurseDirtyBird's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Personally (and without knowledge of laws, etc.), I wouldn't say a thing. People have to go on medical leave (or days off) for many different medical reasons. Mental illness should be no

  6. Spring schedule too much?

    Katie828 replied to Lizzyalligator's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally wouldn't do it, but only you know what you can

  7. Anyone do a full-time nursing program part-time?

    Katie828 posted a topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I am hoping to enter a nursing program in about a year. However, I have some medical issues that leave me fatigued. The school I am planning to attend only has a full-time program. However, since...

  8. Anyone do a full-time nursing program part-time?

    Katie828 replied to Katie828's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Thanks for your responses. Financially, I have planned that I won't need to take out loans for the ADN. My long-term goal is to be a psych NP, so it will be a job where I mostly sit and talk with...

  9. Great nurse but visually challenged

    Katie828 replied to Lil guppy's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    The website www.sightconnection.com has "talking" devices....there maybe something that could help you. You might consider something like diabetes education where you mainly talk to patients versus...

  10. W-withdrawal on record

    Katie828 replied to shannonyocum's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    An F is worse than a W. A few W's won't hurt, but you don't want more than that. Good

  11. Better chance of getting into nursing program with BA?

    Katie828 replied to Sweet charm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It will be school specific. My school gives 2 more "points" in the admission process for having a

  12. If I go for my ASN now, can I go back later to get a BSN?

    Katie828 replied to LaVanawayj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep, you can certainly go back later. My CC has a ASN-to-BSN program with the local university. It is what I'm planning to do....it is much cheaper to go to school at the CC than do it all at the...

  13. Just received my acceptance letter from the EKU ADN nursing program!

    Katie828 replied to EKU2014hopeful's topic in General Nursing

    No words of advice, but I wanted to say congrats for getting

  14. Can I be accepted into nursing school?

    Katie828 replied to moisesflores8a's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As you don't have too many credits so far, it won't be that hard to raise your GPA. I say that if nursing is what you want, go for it! Start slowly...maybe only take 1 prereq class and put all your...

  15. In Need of a few Motivating and Inspiring Words

    Katie828 replied to sonyammac's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This probably isn't encouraging...but I'm wondering why the great guy isn't in the picture a bit

  16. I have to choose between being a nurse or mother!

    Katie828 replied to luvmykids0810's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why do you need a hystrectomy? Are you in pain? I say do NS and then adopt later....there are soooo many children who need good homes.

  17. Age limits for Adult Nurse Practitioners in Washington State? Please?

    Katie828 replied to JHU_BlueJay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I do not know officially. However, my friend is an ARNP in WA state and she can/does see

  18. Is it just me???

    Katie828 replied to dsb_fam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nope! Many a micro student become a germ-o-phobiac. Just wash your hands frequently (but don't use anti-bacterial soap because it just encourages resistance) and encourage others to do the same.

  19. Looking to begin....again

    Katie828 replied to AmbCPhT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just wanted to wish you the best! You can do it. There is nothing wrong with doing LPN to RN. I'm just a pre-nursing student myself, so I don't have much advice. However, I did notice that you...

  20. Desparate for advice...or just give up?

    Katie828 replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Many schools have low cost insurance for students and I believe you can add family. Check into it. You won't have to worry about pre-existing (sp?) conditions if you have no lapse in coverage....

  21. 88 on first A&P exam

    Katie828 replied to 1futurenurse12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that is a good grade for the first test. The first test is always the hardest to prepare for because you don't know the prof's style. Now you can study the way he tests (questions all from...

  22. Should I get An Associates in History?

    Katie828 replied to stratus93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you love history, I say go for

  23. AP 1 is my Mount Everest

    Katie828 replied to xschatzi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also, I have no idea how much time you spend on AN, but I would recommend you keep it to a minimum. It will still be here when school is over for the

  24. AP 1 is my Mount Everest

    Katie828 replied to xschatzi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds like you have too much on your plate. What about dropping A&P and work on getting A's in your other classes? You need to spread the class load out otherwise you are not going to have...

  25. I need help with a psychology paper

    Katie828 replied to chas2283's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Go to pubmed.com Type "depression" (be more specific if you want) in the search box. Click search. Then, on the left side of the page, click on "full free text." I just did it, and you'll have...
