    Faeriewand replied to KMDominguez87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmmmm my teacher gave us study questions to use as a guide. This would be a good place to post some of those questions that stump me. A few really stumped me last time but I think I did ok on the...

    Transferability of Edukan courses

    Faeriewand replied to marinemommy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Recommended Req'd reading before NS?

    Faeriewand replied to moonischasingme1's topic in General Nursing

    I've read Echo Heron and I really liked her books. They are good to read before entering nursing school. You feel like you are going right along with her on her journey.

    I didn't get all this education to wipe behinds!

    Faeriewand replied to SeekingNur's topic in General Nursing

    "By the way...how does someone actually make it through CNA training without changing/cleaning up patients?" Sheesh! Perhaps she didn't get much supervision? We (my CNA class) were wiping butts on...

    Wearing scrubs home??

    Faeriewand replied to Rn2bKatie's topic in General Nursing

    I use antibacterial soap because it keeps the soap clean I heard that your soap can pick up a lot of germs from all those grimy hands touching it. Well we all use liquid soap now so I guess that's...

    Cats and babies

    Faeriewand replied to Paprikat's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My cat once scratched a baby across the head and made him cry. I think it's just good sense to not let a baby alone with any animal. A friend's story: She walked into the bedroom where her baby was...

    Dear Abbey, about a nurse

    Faeriewand replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    I used to think this too. But I've seen Dear Abbey interviewed on tv and she said when something is unbelievable she calls the person to confirm. She says she couldn't make that stuff up. I know...

    Nursing with a Southern Accent

    Faeriewand replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    How about "Lower than a hound dog's nose" :chuckle Personally, a Southern accent would be very welcome if I were laid up in the hospital. To me it says caring and comfort.

    AASN vs LPN can somebody shed some light?

    Faeriewand replied to hmatthewcooper's topic in General Nursing

    RN's make way more money and have more opportunities for various types of jobs. Try doing a search on the web to see what roles the LVN and the RN play in healthcare. I think they are quite similar...

    Faeriewand replied to SeekingNur's topic in General Nursing

    Gee that seems like a shame Jcarew. I would think that CNA's would be a valuable part of the nursing team. Soooo how is it working? Do the externs play the part of the CNA role? Is the hospital...

    Yet another "thinking of going into nursing" post.

    Faeriewand replied to VirtualMe's topic in General Nursing

    Whatever you decide it looks like you need to go back to school. Try taking those science pre-reqs the nursing school requires. Also, if you can, get some CNA training this summer to get an idea of...

    Faeriewand replied to justagirl992's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
