  1. Pre-menopausal and wasted after work

    NicInNC replied to DG5's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. My 5 and 7 year old make their own cereal in the mornings. Well, the 7 year old pours the milk, but still. And I don't ask them to. The first time they did it, I made such a big deal out of...

  2. HRT (testosterone cream)

    NicInNC replied to NicInNC's topic in General Nursing

    Really? So it's helped you? I sure hope it does me. I used to have so much energy and "drive". Now, I could sleep all day and could easily become a nun... :rotfl: I've been off and on antidepressants...

  3. Will they make her cut her hair?

    NicInNC replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    She's pretty! How old? 17? Those look like cornrows. Then again, I have no clue. I've always had plain hair. I know that when we went to Jamaica, I wanted my hair braided so bad, but never got around...

  4. Does anyone know the success rates of state boards?

  5. I am obsessed

    NicInNC replied to flwannaB's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm not even in the pool yet and I'm obsessed. I was told today by one of the advisors to go ahead and apply for the program since I'll be taking my Anatomy and math this semester. The school I go to...

  6. Child needs evaluated for autism

    NicInNC posted a topic in Developmental Disabilities

    My 8 year old cousin has displayed signs of autism since he was a toddler. Even his dad can see it, but my aunt gets mad when anyone says that anything is wrong with her child. He is up here visiting...

  7. How long did it take to get accepted into NS?

    NicInNC replied to Sugarbelle's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know Kat. I just don't know WHAT to do. Right now, I'm leaning towards the LPN because I want to hurry up and get out there working. We have a beltway coming through our home in 4 more years...

  8. How long did it take to get accepted into NS?

    NicInNC replied to Sugarbelle's topic in General Nursing

    I won't be getting into the program until next fall regardless because I still have to have my math class. So, I still have time to get it in the Spring. It just makes me mad because I really wanted...

  9. How long did it take to get accepted into NS?

    NicInNC replied to Sugarbelle's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going through the frustration right now. I NEED A&P, but didn't get it. I only got 1 out of 3 classes that I wanted. And I even did early registration! They said A&P is now reserved for...

    NicInNC posted a topic in General Nursing

    In my CNA class, we learned how to take BP's with the battery operated wrist cuff. I have a steth and bp cuff of my own, but have trouble using it sometimes. On some people, I can hear it just fine....

  11. Need name of hormone or gene

    NicInNC posted a topic in General Nursing

    NicInNC replied to NicInNC's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of stuff I've read the past couple days about cortisol levels mentiong weight gain. I have always been UNDERweight. I'm to skinny despite all that I eat. Can cortisol levels make a person...

  13. CNA needs help with BP's

    NicInNC replied to NicInNC's topic in General Nursing

    I know how to do it (But boy did you give good directions to someone that may not! great explanation!), it's just that I have a hard time with some people. I'm going to keep practicing. Also, I...

  14. Need name of hormone or gene

    NicInNC replied to NicInNC's topic in General Nursing

    I can hardly get myself to do anything during the day. I get about 8-10 hours of sleep, yet it's all I can do to get out of bed. I'll drag all day long, but about 10pm, I get energy all of a sudden. I...

  15. CNA needs help with BP's

    NicInNC replied to NicInNC's topic in General Nursing

  16. What CAN'T LPN's do?

    NicInNC replied to NicInNC's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well, my advisor called the other day and they only do Fall admission to the LPN program. Since I still need a math class and Anatomy/Physiology, I couldn't get in until next fall. She said that...

  17. What CAN'T LPN's do?

    NicInNC posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    After stressing out for a year about what to do, I've decided to change my major to LPN instead of RN. I want to hurry up and become a nurse. I've wanted this since I was a little girl. But I keep...

  18. In need of resume help

    NicInNC posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm applying for a CNA job and they require a resume. I have only had one full time job in my life (worked there for 3 years and then quit to be a stay at home mom). The rest were part time jobs. So,...

  19. Friend who's meds are making her worse...?

    NicInNC replied to rambisisking's topic in General Nursing

    She's on 3 antidepressants on top of everything else? Good GRIEF. I remember how I felt just on the Welbutrin. I had a lot of side effects, which eventually went away, but it took a couple months....

  20. CNA's in a hospice setting

    NicInNC posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    What do the CNA's do at your facility? (that is IF they hire CNA's). Our local hospice has job openings for CNA's and I'm really hoping to get a job there. I'm assuming my responsibilities will be...

  21. Reaction to mosquitoe bite?

    NicInNC posted a topic in General Nursing

    Is it possible for a person to have a bad reaction to mosquitoe bites? We got back from camping over a week ago. While camping, me and my 5 year old got bit up terribly despite all the deet filled...

  22. What exactly are boards?

    NicInNC replied to Cute_CNA's topic in General Nursing

    You have to go through Nursing school before you can take the state boards tests. Either the RN program or LPN program. It would be nice if us CNA's could just sit through the boards without going...

    NicInNC replied to Nathalie's topic in General Nursing

    Unless your advisor is planning on putting you through a phlebetomy course, then I will tell you I have NEVER heard of a CnA doing all that. I am a CNA. My duties include changing beds, helping with...

  24. What do patients say that irks you?

    NicInNC replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Exactly! I remember my nurses from both of my deliveries. The one I had with my 2nd child was a hoot. I loved her! If I asked her a stupid question, she didn't hesitate to make a sarcastic remark. But...

    NicInNC replied to NicInNC's topic in General Nursing

    I posted an update. She woke up this morning with a LOT more patches. I thought it could maybe be poision oak/ivy. But the doctor said it's just a really bad reaction to the bites. She also tested my...
