    Can't we all just get along??

    NurseGirl525 replied to Cal-Neva's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If everyone agreed all of the time this would be a pretty boring website. I enjoy a lively debate. It's good for the

    Online schools?

    NurseGirl525 replied to dannov5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to be in the classroom. You can't do nursing school online. You could possibly do your prerequisites online, but I wouldn't do all of them online. A&P and micro really need to be done...

    Preparing Myself Financially & Mentally

    NurseGirl525 replied to cocoahunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Staples definitely. I don't think doing paperwork in a doctors office is going to give you the connections you hope for. Plus if you can't work in fall and summer are they going to accommodate that?...

    Is my TEAS score good enough?

    NurseGirl525 replied to denisenorris74's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I go to Ivy Tech and met with my nursing advisor on Friday. She told me a 75% is what I need to shoot for on the Teas. But I have all A's in the 4 courses they look at. It depends on what your B...

    Is anyone else losing spouse coverage?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Palmtreegirl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's crazy, but you will probably have to pay that much a month for health care. Why anyone believed the lies that Obama told us is beyond me. But that's a different discussion. Here in the state...

    Do you want to be jobless after nursing school? I didn't think so...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Manny92's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    What about at the hospitals where you do your clinicals? I had a long talk yesterday with my nursing advisor and my long range plans. She gave me excellent ideas on the things I want to do while in...

    Don't People Have Bills To Pay?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    To the person who can't understand why mothers don't want more for their children, you are way off base. I want more for my son, that's why I teach him manners, work ethic, and how interact in he...

    Don't People Have Bills To Pay?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The problem is people feel entitled to everything. When I started out at 18, I had my own apartment and bills to pay. I didn't have cable, furniture, or a phone. I lived that way until I got...

    How's the Semester Going?

    NurseGirl525 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Finished the second week of the semester. With all of this crazy weather it has been very hard. My son is constantly either on a 2 hour delay or his school is closed. And we are getting more snow...

    If you are a male can you ask to only work for male patients?

    NurseGirl525 replied to dbtw's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's the medical field. It's just part of the job. I'm thinking you need to find another line of work. If you can't perform the tasks assigned to you then you shouldn't be trying for the job. It...

    Do you have a nursing specialty you know you want to pursue?

    NurseGirl525 replied to goldenanchor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My ultimate goal is to get into pediatric oncology. I'm getting my ADN right now and will hopefully end up in the local ER when I graduate. Riley Children's Hospital in Indy requires a BSN so I am...

    Anyone taken a&p I & a&p II at fscj at the same time?

    NurseGirl525 replied to iraisa22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P II and micro together. Totally doable. A lot of concepts overlapped for me so I didn't find it too

    Growing Up Unvaccinated

    NurseGirl525 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The fact that many people don't vaccinate anymore makes me sad. People believe whatever is on the internet. What is going to happen is if the vaccinated population rate gets under 85% diseases like...

    What plan to follow? Anything will help!

    NurseGirl525 replied to mydreamjob26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It all depends on if the community college is accredited or not. Some people go to colleges and get their associate's and none of the credits transfer. The school where you want to get your BSN is...

    How's the Semester Going?

    NurseGirl525 replied to NurseGirl525's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    School for my son cancelled today and tomorrow ughh!!! This weather is crazy. We went to Milwaukee for a judo tournament this past weekend and coming back to Indiana was a nightmare. Did not get...

    Straighterline?

    NurseGirl525 replied to MusicEMT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Their website says who will take credits from them. It has to be on of their partnered schools. I'd be a little leery about

    Are you going to work while in nursing school?

    NurseGirl525 replied to vettechtoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will not. I have been a SAHM the past 8 years. My divorce is now final and since I am a single mom I will have to support me and my son. But I don't want to do something I hate which is why I am...

    Good Excuses for Missing Work

    NurseGirl525 replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    Many years ago, I had developed gastropariesis right after I had started a new job. I didn't want to look bad but I was late every day because I was pulling off the side of the road puking. Then I...

    Not a people person... (Yikes!)

    NurseGirl525 replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Let me tell you, I do not like people. People are rude, ignorant, and lazy. I worked in retail for many years and I got jaded. Now having the "skills" to deal with people is a completely different...

    I never, ever went to ER when I was a kid

    NurseGirl525 replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    In our state urgent care clinics won't take medicaid so they have to go to the ER. That's just the way it is. So I know lots of kids that go to the ER for every little thing because it takes a...

    Bad Parents

    NurseGirl525 replied to KelRN215's topic in Pediatric

    This makes me so angry!! Please call MAW. I regularly contribute to this charity. It's supposed to be about the kids not the moronic parents. I swear people should be given a test to have kids....

    TRANSFER PROGRAMS?? Sophomore and college doesn't offer nursing!

    NurseGirl525 replied to ag053's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Another problem is would you have to take A&P I before II and micro. It's a preq at my school. So you may have to wait a year. Plus deadlines for this fall are fast approaching. Have you taken...
