  1. So we can't wear clogs...

    Amnesty replied to allycat77's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    If you have to go for tennis shoes, go for a high-end Asics pair with a soft gel support system. They are HEAVENLY on your feet when you have to be standing for a long time. New Balance shoes are...

  2. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    Amnesty replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    They do a lottery?? I mean that's GREAT for you! Congrats! I just don't know if I could deal with my nerves if I had to do it based on sheer luck instead of a ranking system based on grades/HESI...

  3. ADN or BSN which would recommend for a mom?

    Amnesty replied to Destiny'skid's topic in General Students

    The first thing I'd look at is what is realistically being hired in your area. I'm doing my ADN because I know my local hospital is large and only growing and they need nurses and prefer ADN grads...

  4. Shocked by facial piercings at work

    Amnesty replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You seem like you're in denial about what you really think, as per the bolded bits above. I don't think it's up to you to decide what patients want to see, and if you really think that piercings don't...

  5. Proof that a record won't hold you back from the job of your dreams

    Amnesty replied to NaeRN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Grats girl! I'd still look into getting that expunged from your record, since you were promised it would be. It may not have stopped you from getting this job, but who knows what employers in the...

  6. Are you in it for the money?

    Amnesty replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I'd be a liar if I said the money didn't play a role in my choice, but if I'd decided purely on the money, I'd have gone back to school for 2 years to get my Master's in Accountancy and sat for my CPA...

  7. Using Your Photo As An Avatar

    Amnesty replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I, too, have never understood this xD. I'm 24, and even in my day, it was completely taboo to give out even so much as your real name online. Nowadays people are like, "HERE! LOOK AT MY DOG! AND MY...

  8. Nurses: Why do many of you do this?

    Amnesty replied to terina66's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think this is disrespectful at all as long as it isn't making fun of anyone. My younger sister is a CNA/med tech for a LTC facility, and honestly it was stories that she told me that made me...

  9. need advise... to tell or not to tell

    Amnesty replied to countrygirl0905's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Girl, toss them right under that bus. If they can't even get it together enough to complete group projects, you running defense for them isn't going to help anything. They'll either take this as the...

  10. Tax Help

    Amnesty replied to tankity's topic in Private Duty

    I used to work for H&R Block, and I definitely recommend that you don't find a large chain of tax places to do your small business taxes. Most of the people who work there are just young people...

  11. For extroverts...please don't ask me

    Amnesty replied to hazyblue's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I really like being an introvert, myself, but I feel you on how it makes interaction with peers awkward. I either click really well with people, or am generally uninterested, and if we don't have...

  12. Im a male and want to be a nurse

    Amnesty replied to Smith5's topic in Men in Nursing

    Andy, I think it really depends on what's in demand in your area. I, much like you (though not male!), decided that I wanted to go into the medical field so that I could help people. I looked into...

  13. new allnurses logo - feedback wanted

    Amnesty replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not even surprised that the one I found the least appealing is in first place . I voted for 101 as the best one, then 202, then 203 in last place. That extra little chat bubble at the bottom on...

  14. A & P

    Amnesty replied to ph94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Notecards, and lots of them. That's what I've been doing, and I feel like I have an okay grasp, though it needs to be much better for me to ace my exams! I bought a pack of 100 notecards and took them...

  15. You might be a night shifter if...

    Amnesty replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    You're driving down the road at night and vaguely you see a red light in front of you in the distance. You wonder why it never gets any closer, and so you lean forward and squint -- and you realize...

  16. Never Interrupt Mom While She's On allnurses.com

    Amnesty replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I'm not a mom, and I'm not even a nurse yet (though as of tomorrow, I'm starting my last semester of nursing pre-reqs before I can start the program!), but I daily come to AN and have ever since I...

  17. Which is better RN cert. from a community college or BSN

    Amnesty replied to wchelsea's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It really depends on what is more advantageous for you. I was faced with this same decision about six months ago when I decided I'd picked the wrong thing, and I wanted to go back to school for...

  18. Moving from CA to the Southeast

    Amnesty replied to LVNbayarea's topic in Georgia Nursing

    First off, irrelevant, LOL that name (@squidbillies). Second, he's right. I live in a small town in south Georgia and you won't be the victim of any unpunished hate crimes here. It's not the best...

  19. Any advice on jobs in Atlanta?

    Amnesty replied to Dulce8's topic in Georgia Nursing

    The thing about not living in Georgia is key. Why should anybody go out of their way to hire someone from out of town when there are so many craptons of people in town who are applying? The trick is...

  20. What classes did you pair with A&P I (Anatomy)?

    Amnesty replied to queserasera's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a BBA already, so most of my classes are covered. I just have to take my anatomies, a microbiology, and a pharmacology for nurses class. I'm starting in January and taking A&P I and...

  21. Online BSN - Is it taken seriously?

    Amnesty replied to Jmiami's topic in General Nursing

    IMO, this is the best way to do it! I got my first Bachelor's Degree from a school like this, and while I decided to do the distanced learning route and do all of the online courses, my diploma...

  22. HELP! I feel like I have no hope in getting into any GA nursing programs

    Amnesty replied to dnlque's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I recently attended an information session at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, and half of the session was devoted to giving info on their advanced track RN program for people who are LVNs, LPNs,...

  23. Passed HESI Admission Assessment Exam - My experience/Tips

    Amnesty replied to xxMichelleJxx's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    :X Could you perhaps retake it and study to improve your scores? I'm a bit worried about the HESI, as it hasn't been required before now for the local college's nursing program, but it will be...

  24. 150% Rule?

    Amnesty posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi all! I'm really looking forward to going back to college in the Spring to start taking classes which will fulfill the remaining pre-req requirements for the nursing program. I already have a BBA in...

  25. So you want to be a nurse...

    Amnesty replied to Sir Enzyme's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is an amazing post ^_^. I, too, have a business degree (management and accounting, to be specific), but I don't feel like it's enough any more. The one thing that challenges me and gives me...
