  1. Possible to take extra class per semester at another school during nursing program?

    roxalot replied to RnStudent2021's topic in General Students

    I think this is smart in a way as you have a plan B in case you don't get into medical school, however you are taking the seat of an actual student who wants to be an RN and not go on to medical...

  2. New back-to-school worry: Unvaccinated classmates

    roxalot replied to wtbcrna's topic in Nursing News

    Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it. I don't think it will change my husbands mind, I do fear he has been indoctrinated in some things when it comes to medical care (however he does believe in...

  3. New back-to-school worry: Unvaccinated classmates

    roxalot replied to wtbcrna's topic in Nursing News

    My husbands chiropractic college teaches against vaccination. They had an entire course on it one quarter. I wasn't there, nor have I ever attended chiropractic school so I don't know what was taught....

  4. New back-to-school worry: Unvaccinated classmates

    roxalot replied to wtbcrna's topic in Nursing News

    I know first hand vaccines aren't 100% effective. My son had both doses of Varicella and still got chicken pox. I just wanted to see what response was for to the question because my chiropractor...

  6. Danskos?

    roxalot replied to Rn4life27's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My Danskos used to hurt my pinky toe and across the top of my foot. I started wearing slightly thinner socks in and it fixed the problem. I don't know if breaking them in will fix it, I changed my...

  7. Be careful not to let people talk you out of your career ambitions

    roxalot replied to DadStudentPerhaps's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wish I had followed this advice 15 years ago. I let two friends who were RNs all me out of doing nursing school. I just floated around college and ended up being a Chemistry major. I've never been...

  8. Magnet curse!

    roxalot replied to ICUNurseG's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I had no idea what magnet status was until I started reading it on AN and researched it. I worked in a new 300 bed hospital for over 3 years and never heard of it. I guess we weren't a magnet...

  9. Has anyone discouraged you from nursing?

    roxalot replied to miko.'s topic in General Students

    I'm a non-traditional student. I have a husband and 2 kids, 33 years old. My parents have been the biggest nay Sayers. I was so stupid when I was younger. My parents were paying for my college and I...

  11. drug tests and ambien

    roxalot replied to molly7454's topic in General Nursing

    Ambien in molecularly different than benzo's. I can't remember it's actual classification at the moment, but it should not show up as a benzo on a drug screen. It has it's own

  12. Racism in the south?

    roxalot replied to AQEELSMOM's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I live in Alabama and was raised in Tennessee. I've lived, mostly in bigger cities, my grandparents live in a very rural closed minded area of East Ky that is very weary of outsiders in general,...

  13. West Palm Beach or Tampa Florida?

    roxalot replied to Fresheart's topic in Nursing Career

    I lived in Tampa area for years. There are some good schools there and it was pretty affordable. I enjoyed living there and have thought about moving back. I lived in the Valrico/Brandon area. Sent...
