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 school. Not sure how I feel about that. I know there is...

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 acute emergency care, as his father broke his bon...

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. He holds a doctorate degree (and he had to take U...

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 husband refuses to let me vaccinate our daughter (my s...

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 socks about 5 shifts in so I really feel like it was...

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 happy with that. Then later on I wanted to go to nu...

^^^same here about the news story. In fact the father was on the local news here (Nashville area) saying it wasn't right the judge changed the boys name.

I've seen Niamh before and knew that one. I went to high school with a girl named Niamh. I actually thought of naming my own daughter this. I've seen some unusual spellings. Such as Xachary for Zachary.

I wasn't aware the father didn't want the name. I live in the area where these people live and on the local news here (WSMV-4) the father (maybe step-father, I assume father because the journalist called him the father) was saying that it wasn't righ...

No it was Caoimhe pronounced Kee-vuh, I was trying to pronounce it Cam-ee. It was bugging me so I went and found where I had written it down.

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 hospital, and apparently we weren't striving for it either...

My mom had an Lemonjello at the bank she used to work at, but as i recall he didnt have a twin or brother that she knew about. That is a first hand account, I've personally seen the L-a and the Candida and the Shithead working in pharmacy. The mother...

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 had no loans. I couldn't decide what I wanted to do...

I personally would not choose the name Messiah for my child. Messiah is the Hebrew word meaning "anointed one" Just as I wouldn't name my child Christ as it is the Greek word meaning "anointed one." However, I do like the name Christian, Christopher,...

I didn't attend APSU SON but was a Chemistry major there and know quite a few nursing students and nurses that graduated there. It is very competitive. A friend of mine had a 3.6 GPA and didn't get in, she got accepted to Murray State in Murray, Ky.

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 classification.

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, regardless of skin color. In the rural areas you will f...

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 from my iPhone using allnurses.com

I've had a few patients over the years with some strange names. These are my top three: L-a (luh-dash-uh), the mom actually told us, "The dash isn't silent." Candida (enough said) and my all time favorite is Shithead. Yes Shithead, prounounced SHA-...
