    Part time CRNA school for Police officer

    NurseGirl525 replied to kt0473's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    How many years until you could consider retirement as a Police Officer? My cousin is a paramedic and firefighter. She has been doing it since she was 18 and should be eligible for retirement very...

    Looking into nursing

    NurseGirl525 replied to andrew4507's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are looking at several different jobs, they do not all fall under the scope of practice of a RN. A medical assistant learns under the medical model while a CNA and RN are taught under the nursing...

    Mom of 2 looking into becoming Lvn put down by recruiter at kaplan

    NurseGirl525 replied to Rose90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We don't know if she is a single mom or not. She never stated whether she was or not. There is a reason why there are so many non-traditional students going into nursing and part of it is the...

    Mom of 2 looking into becoming Lvn put down by recruiter at kaplan

    NurseGirl525 replied to Rose90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First of all, I'm going to ask you what motivated you to choose Kaplan for your school of choice? Is your decision to go to school a well though out one? I know exactly why that advisor told you...

    Nursing is a career that I would love to do

    NurseGirl525 replied to Soon2beStudent's topic in General Students

    Your post comes off seeming kind of cocky to me. I think you need an understanding of how competitive it even is to get into the program and then once you are in, it's difficult. Nursing school is a...

    Discrimination in nursing school?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Mommiof4's topic in General Students

    You have to have your doctor sign off on a physical form that you are capable of performing the job of a nurse mentally and physically. You have to be able to lift. If he doesn't sign off on it, you...

    Thank you, Joy Behar!

    NurseGirl525 replied to ixchel's topic in Nursing Humor

    I saw that so-called apology. Raven Symone acted like she was all ticked off that nurses were upset. Then they were trying to say they were watching the Miss America Pageant and not commenting on...

    Thank you, Joy Behar!

    NurseGirl525 replied to ixchel's topic in Nursing Humor

    Why would it not be in our scope of practice to use a stethoscope? I'm just curious. We were required to have one for school. How can a nurse do a head to toe assessment without a

    HELP! Failed NCLEX before, out of school for 7 years, wanting to try again

    NurseGirl525 replied to clancaster0729's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Nobody is looking down on anybody for not passing the NCLEX. They are being realistic. So say you pass in October, who do you think is going to hire you? Who is going to hire someone that took 7...

    "They may hire a private investigator..."

    NurseGirl525 replied to LittleTwinStars's topic in General Nursing

    Then I think the legal nurse consultant is confused if that is what you were told. I cannot imagine why a PI would have to follow you in your daily life. Maybe around the hospital? I don't know why...

    Thank you, Joy Behar!

    NurseGirl525 replied to ixchel's topic in Nursing Humor

    What makes me absolutely sick is are these people so far removed from actual life that they have no idea what a nurse does? I don't expect them to know a nurse's scope of practice, but do they think...

    Dysphagia

    I'm not looking for advice or anything on this. Definitely not medical advice. I have researched it as much as possible and know what the options are and it is what it is. I just come in the forum...

    Dysphagia

    NurseGirl525 replied to NurseGirl525's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Thanks Boston, it turned out to be a fungal infection. I've had them before, but never to where I was choking on food so I didn't think it was that. I took Diflucan for 10 days, and I feel as good...

    My house has been paid off since 2010. I paid cash for my car about a year and a half ago. There are many places I do cut, a few that I could do better on. I eat at home as much as I possibly can....

    Advice for a Nursing student

    NurseGirl525 replied to Beyound the sky's topic in General Students

    You are the one living your life, not your parents, not your twin, you. You need to do what will make you happy, not anyone else. I'm guessing your anxiety is causing you to be a little disorganized...

    Do not order scrubs from scrubland beyond.com

    NurseGirl525 replied to SarahLizzyLVN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    OP, if you only paid $11 that was not next day shipping. I think that is where the mistake was. When I needed mine quickly, I had to pay $35 for the overnight shipping. It was just last month. I...

    I had to order from them last minute a couple of weeks ago and I received mine on time. I had gone to their store and they did not have the color I needed. I had driven to another scrub shop and I...

    RN that doesn't want to be an NP

    NurseGirl525 replied to Matt8700's topic in Emergency

    Completely agree with this. When I graduate next May and hopefully pass NCLEX around August, I want to do bedside for a while. I'm not sure what specialty I would like to go into yet, but there are...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Cynthiahatespatho's topic in General Students

    Anxiety from just the lecture? Why? I think maybe your are misinterpreting what a visual learner is. If the instructor uses powerpoints, that constitutes visual learning. I agree with HouTx, it...
