    Email me i need help because im registering for veeb

    meanmaryjean replied to Dimolindo's topic in School, College Programs

    You REALLY don't want to put your personal email address out on a site with 1,000,000 subscribers- any of whom may or may not be nurses. Also- you don't seem to understand how the site works- you need...

    Question about research

    meanmaryjean replied to Keofae4's topic in General Nursing

    I did an anonymous qualitative survey study as a part of both my MSN and DNP work-BUT I only surveyed nurses in the workplace. OP: A better approach is to perhaps feed this request through a nursing...

    Bad driving record

    meanmaryjean replied to chwcbesteph's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Likely it's not the initial offense but that you chose to drive while suspended that is the main factor here. And yes, I would say it disqualifies you from 'good driving record' type of

    Cost is $3250 per 6 month term. Projected program length is 4 terms but MANY students complete it in 3 or even 2. $0 for books (all included as

    Mature Student thinking of going back to school and take Nursing

    meanmaryjean replied to PiXie77's topic in New York Nursing

    How about dipping you toe into the water first by signing up for a couple of classes at your local community college? Slow start, ease your way back into 'school mode'. And as far as missing time with...

    Passed first semester, but still nervous in clinicals

    meanmaryjean replied to dumb_'s topic in LPN, LVN Students

    First of all- you're not 'dumb'. You are inexperienced. There's a HUGE difference. The only way to gain confidence is through practice. That's what clinical is FOR. Chin up- practice all you can (in...

    Just accepted a job in the PICU!!! Any advice??

    meanmaryjean replied to hopemedsurg2picu's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Congrats! PICU is the hardest/ best thing I've ever done. My best advice is to practice saying this in your head: "I parent differently". Because you will meet some wonderful parents, and some...

    meanmaryjean replied to CAS7693's topic in General Nursing

    OP: This appears to be an assignment for a communication class. There are 3.3 million RNs in the country. Surely to goodness you can find one to speak with 1:1. I am certain your instructor did NOT...

    Cards for Parents

    meanmaryjean replied to PMurphyRN518's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Agree with AmoLucia. This is gimmicky and smells bad. Trust me- people who have preemies get as much if not more support than any other parent. Cards from nurses are not going to change that one way...

    Need Direction- Help!

    meanmaryjean replied to cslmom717's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might also consider becoming an LPN/LVN. Shorter time-frame, fewer pre-requisites, less competition for seats. But first, before ANY of the above, have you spent a day shadowing a nurse? As in 'if...

    Disgusted. How to report...

    I don't disagree that it is unprofessional. But it seems from your first post that you've reported them both - what do you expect further digging and prying and consternation is going to accomplish?...

    Nurse Apprenticeship counts as experience?

    meanmaryjean replied to Chelsea.K's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I seriously doubt this would count as experience. A 22-week residency is a blessing, take it of you can get it. Live frugally on that $25/ hour. I doubt the pay goes up too terribly much
