    At the top of my wish list right now: cute compression socks, a plum paper planner, a massage, an amazon gift card

    Should I go to school to become a nurse or PA?

    BusyBee91 replied to debbieprobe's topic in General Nursing

    I can't answer most of your questions, but I used to be absolutely terrified of needles...I'm training myself to be ok with them. I just keep donating blood and making myself watch the needle. Also...

    Positive Experience with Social Networking?

    BusyBee91 replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Students

    I dunno - my cohort has one, I like it... If it gets bad, I will leave/disband it.. But I've had AN members jump down my throat for suggesting that they can be fun/helpful so...I guess.. It is what...

    CNA/SurgTech/Paramedic?

    BusyBee91 replied to InfantryVet2014's topic in General Students

    If you're still certified as a EMTB, you might be able to bridge to CNA. You can in Maryland. Also, I've seen job postings for CNAs with EMT certs in places where high acuity patients are common...

    ADN, ABSN or PA

    BusyBee91 replied to Jaz2angel's topic in General Students

    What about getting your ASN and then doing a bridge program (RN to BSN?). I think you're right that you'd have a hard getting anywhere with the 2.8. Would your current employer rehire you as a nurse...

    Summer Employment for Nursing Student, No CNA

    BusyBee91 replied to tbbtpeach's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure what the rules are in your state, but 2 thoughts. I've heard that psych hospitals (think Sheppard Pratt) can hire and train nursing assistants who aren't certified... not sure if that's...

    Good Planner

    BusyBee91 replied to emergenceRN17's topic in General Students

    You know, I had heard great things about the Saunders nursing student planner too, so I checked it out the other day, and I really wasn't sold at all. It had helpful info, but I think I could do...

    Have you ever had the feeling your employer was looking for a reason to fire you

    BusyBee91 replied to Nola009's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In my non-nursing job, my supervisor (whom I like and get along with well) gave me 3/5 across the board on every single item on my annual review. I was surprised, and asked her about it. (I'm pretty...

    BCG (Tuberculosis) Vaccine

    BusyBee91 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi nurses, I want to preface this by saying I am not asking for medical advice - I'm just curious about people's experiences. I'm aware that there is a vaccine (with less than perfect efficacy )...

    Does it get better being a new nurse?

    BusyBee91 replied to telealli's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Re: the social media aspect. Remember that the image people portray on social media is often highly edited. Certainly there are those folks who do nothing but complain constantly on Facebook etc,...

    BusyBee91 replied to somuchdebt's topic in General Nursing

    Anecdote: I have a friend who has a reaction to the skin test but doesn't have anything show up on her chest X-ray or blood work. You may just have sensitive skin. Don't panic, let the...

    Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    BusyBee91 replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    @ladyfree I think perhaps you misunderstood me. I am not saying that nursing hasn't historically been respected or rigorous. I thought I had made that clear in my first post. I do, however, get the...

    Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    BusyBee91 replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I was one of those 'real science majors' who never understood why nursing students took fluffy, abridged versions of the basic biology and chemistry that I took. I know people may say it's not...

    BusyBee91 replied to bear94's topic in General Students

    I say make yourself a good to do list, find the group on Facebook of students who will be your classmates (maybe they can help you get up to speed with the to do list ) and go for it. You can still...

    I have to wear all white (leather) shoes with laces.. I tried on the asics foundation walker and it was sooo comfortable. Eventually I may go to danskos, but I wouldn't discount a good pair of...

    BusyBee91 replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Esme, I was just getting ready to mention (after reading your post about one level to enter nursing) that I feel that college has been dumbed down... Probably a lot since you went. I have no doubt...

    Human Growth and Development CLEP

    BusyBee91 replied to BusyBee91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ahhh I see. You are asking if you would have a better grasp on the material from taking the class than the CLEP? I suppose that depends on the student and the subject. The idea is that CLEP is...
