    Please don't call me Dude

    Glycerine82 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I use sunshine a lot because I feel like it's unisex and honestly, I almost never remember my patients names. (I know, it's bad). One day I walked into a patients room and said "Morning sunshine"....

    Glycerine82 replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    First I was just a CNA, now I'm just a nursing student. Soon I'll be Just a(n) LPN. Meh, if other people need to validate themselves by insinuating I'm not educated enough, that's on them. I'm still...

    GoFundMe Thoughts?

    Glycerine82 replied to singwithme123's topic in General Nursing

    It irritates me too, especially for something this. So people should give this girl their hard earned money so she can go to school to get a degree for 4x what it should cost? Um,

    Maxed out on credits?

    Glycerine82 replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in LPN to RN

    The way it works is you can't attempt more than 150% of your hours or you'll be suspended. So, for a 70 hour program (70 credits, credit hours same thing) you will have reached max at 105 credits....

    Glycerine82 replied to lpn2bekie's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Glycerine82 replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in Ob/Gyn
