    Black Humour

    Alisonisayoshi replied to Tenebrae's topic in Nursing Humor

    Normally I don't have any kind of stick stuck anywhere, and I enjoy dark humor but this, this ANGERS me to no end. I'm a type 1 diabetic and: A) because of insulin I can eat whatever I'd like in...

    Clinic interview

    Alisonisayoshi replied to Alisonisayoshi's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Thank you for your response. I hadn't thought about having to work in several different areas and wear many hats, we haven't had much exposure to clinic work in my clinical class. We mainly see what...

    Alisonisayoshi replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    I am a wife and a mother, I agree with your instructor. Nursing school is priority one while I'm here. In doing this my children are learning the value of hard work, dedication, and education. My...

    Ideal diabetic diet?

    Alisonisayoshi replied to Libby1987's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    It is all anecdotal, which is ridiculous if diabetic pt's seem to sing it's praises. It's ridiculous to not throughly study it. The straight line on my dexcom and a low A1C are my proof for my body....

    Will LPN's be around for long?

    Alisonisayoshi replied to OMMx3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    OP, with your original question, the straight path is the fastest, but if that doesn't suit your life, an LPN program is a great way too start, plus if you hate nursing you haven't put a ton of...

    Will LPN's be around for long?

    Alisonisayoshi replied to OMMx3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I agree, I'm becoming an LVN to circumvent the insane lotteries that all the RN programs run near me. I'm getting an ADN next (like immediately bridging as I completed the RN prerequisite courses...

    Taking RN pre reqs while in LPN program?

    Alisonisayoshi replied to Beautiful_Soul's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took a few CC classes my first semester of LVN school online. It kicked my butt. I started LVN school with my prereqs completed, I just had two classes to finish out my AS in kinesiology so I...

    noncompliant resident in assisted living care

    Alisonisayoshi replied to rehctelf's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Just as an aside to the idea of non compliance. Excellent care (imho) doesn't include the term non compliance. As someone who wore the scarlet letter that is non compliant, when the issue had very...

    Crowd funding: Yay or Nay?

    Alisonisayoshi replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    It actually has been said multiple times that crowd funding is offensive. No I cannot take a semester off. Where I live seats are so limited that is simply not an option. I will take assistance if...

    Alisonisayoshi replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    Crowd funding: Yay or Nay?

    Alisonisayoshi replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    Sharing a "gofundme" or "kickstarter" on one's Facebook or Twitter in hopes to raise funds. One asks friends to like and share it in hopes it will reach someone with a willingness to help in one's...

    Crowd funding: Yay or Nay?

    Alisonisayoshi replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    I'm crowd funding. I work. I'm drowning but I don't want to quit school. It's a last ditch effort to not go on government aid. I'm not asking for my full costs, just enough to finish my last...

    I work at Starbucks. They are very student friendly. I am also a CNA, but every facility in my area wanted some NOC's and I just can't. It's just too much for me to do NOC's. I barely manage my...
