    crjnursewarrior replied to Chad_KY_SRNA's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  4. Will my past hurt me in school or in getting a job?

    crjnursewarrior replied to joon's topic in General Nursing

  11. Computerized MAR programs

    crjnursewarrior replied to crjnursewarrior's topic in Correctional

  17. How will this affect my future?

    crjnursewarrior replied to freetobe83's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with what the other posters have said, I don't always think that it means the end of your nursing career. I think it all depends on the state you live in and what the offense was. I work in a...

  18. Who is your Favorite TV or Movie nurse?

    crjnursewarrior replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent post...couldn't have said it better!

  23. How To Say No

    crjnursewarrior replied to EyesForward's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the other posters, the best way is to keep it short and sweet, "Sorry, but I can't. I have other plans." Or another thing is, if you have children..."I don't have a babysitter." That is...

  24. Very confussed about courses

    crjnursewarrior replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In the LPN school I attended, the Chemistry was incorporated with the A&P, but not actually a separate course. The Nutrition was included with Med-Surg and was a whole Nutrition course with a...

    crjnursewarrior replied to sleepymom's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the other posters! Taking the Spanish class would certainly not be a waste of time and would probably add to your marketability. Would certainly be something you could add to your...
