  1. Who else starts classes on Tuesday 9-3

    aTOMicTom replied to kenee23's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Oh you bunch of weenies, I got you beat big time; I'm FIFTY! And I had no doubts about my ability to knock this LPN program out of the park until I started reading AN.com... all the horror stories!...

  2. I had the most typical new-student dream last night...

    aTOMicTom posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I read this posted by someone else I'd ask myself why they would make up and publicize something so obviously contrived... but it happened, so I'm doing exactly that... I start my (L)PN program on...

  3. Tattoos are taboo at work. Yes? No?

    aTOMicTom replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    You have a good point CCM. I've been meaning to bring this up. Women should stop wearing trousers! Dresses are so much more professional! Also, I think we’d all agree, the nurse's cap is poised for...

  4. Teachers not sending passes with kids

    aTOMicTom replied to Nurse ABC's topic in School

    Do you guys have to document injuries with pictures? maybe show some papercut pics at the staff meeting, to show what the kids are missing class for... And yes, I realize paper cuts are painful; in...

  5. LVN/LPN Moving to houston tx in may of 2014

    aTOMicTom replied to Cher_SKY's topic in Texas Nursing

    You should go to the Texas Nursing forum on the regular AllNurses site. Click "allnurses" on the right at the top of the page. When you're in the right department the bar at the top will be yellow,...

    aTOMicTom replied to Sudsy's topic in School

    I admit that's far more than I thought, but

  7. asthma but no inhaler at school: wwyd?

    aTOMicTom replied to Sudsy's topic in School

    Just remind the parents that if you have to call EMS they'll be out $250 (or whatever EMS charges near you) and the ER charges... That should do it. How much do inhalers cost, anyway? This is pretty...

  8. LPN Tn Tech?

    aTOMicTom replied to jann67's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I guess I didn't really start the topic as I said so I went back and made a proper thread

  9. LPN Tn Tech?

    aTOMicTom replied to jann67's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hey Jann I'm in your class! I started a thread here "TCAT-Hartsville" or something like that. I was the fat old guy in the second row on the left end. Where were you? (EDIT: no caffeine yet -- she...

  10. Triage complaints- the good, the bad, and the shocking.

    aTOMicTom replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    No, Belle, this is about PATIENTS' problems... Just kidding, that is hilarious... are you serious?! Where, San

  11. Elementary Statistics...

    aTOMicTom replied to mmcc26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, right "Elementary" Statistics... if ever the course catalog needed to use quotation marks, this class is it! For me, it was hard the first time; it didn't "click" (got a D/W), but when I took it...

  12. of all the nurses on this site, i guess i'm

    aTOMicTom replied to Junebug59's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm sure it's hard to realize at this point in your life, but you are the same person you were - maybe even better (by society's standards)! This, too, shall pass. Be who you were. Keep trying....

    aTOMicTom replied to aTOMicTom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Haha I just saw on Google their logo is the anniversary of the "I HAD A DREAM" speech. Life is so

  14. I had the most typical new-student dream last night...

    aTOMicTom replied to aTOMicTom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Haha, Sarah, see that's a nice imaginitive dream you had. Mine's just meh... I'm not some Jen Aniston fanatic, she's just the first "babe" who popped into my

  15. Today was "don't open the door for the nurse" day/RANT

    aTOMicTom replied to KelRN215's topic in Home Health

    Unbelievable. Do you get paid anyway if they won't let you in? I have a theory that more and more adults are stuck in some sort of un-grown-up limbo - children trapped in the bodies of adults, in a...

  16. Hey is anyones life as a nurse like greys amatomy?

    aTOMicTom replied to francoml's topic in Men in Nursing

    Can anyone even imagine a show where the NURSES were the sole focus? I mean, the docs are completely undeveloped characters? I used to really love House, MD, but now if I watch it the lack of nurse...

  19. How do you deal with it?

    aTOMicTom replied to Ez4me's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm not even a nurse yet but I sometimes want to interrupt practitioners' third-grade level descriptions of procedures and say "I'm not a grade-school dropout!". Like now I'm trying to get Aetna to...

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

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

    Haha, I lol'd. And to DadStudent; sorry to hear about your mom and the "nurse" who peed in your wheaties. Some people should find a job that doesn't involve interacting with the

  21. Forced to wear nurses' hat

    aTOMicTom replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Parish

    I guess there aren't any guys on the team, huh? That'd be precious! I have never heard of a church needing first responders (that's what it sounds like your team is providing) standing by during...

    aTOMicTom replied to cjdmomma's topic in General Nursing

    Maggots have been used (and still are) for debridement. Google "maggot therapy". pretty unusual. Links (no gross pics in case you're wondering) pubmed national

    Wow, thanks; I learned a word I'd never even seen before! (Sounds like I am going to need it, too!) [h=1]Definition of squick in English [/h][h=3]verb[/h] [with object] informal cause...

  25. What is your Achilles heel?

    aTOMicTom replied to cjdmomma's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, re-thinking this whole nursing thing... (Kidding) but it reminds me of one of the funniest things I read on AllNurses.com; someone reported a student who dropped out of nursing school because...
