  3. I almost fainted!! Need advice please!

    fmrnicumom replied to amber32123's topic in General Nursing

    Were you overly tired? Had you eaten recently? If you had, was it full of sugar? Did you have something full of caffeine prior to that? Could you have been dehydrated? Things like that, along...

  4. is she crazy ???

    fmrnicumom replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that it is dangerous, particularly if there is anyone else living at home with her. If you believe that management is unaware, they should be informed. It's frightening to think what might...

    fmrnicumom replied to phoenixfire's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. Patient tells it like it is!

    fmrnicumom replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Good story. :) Patients definitely have a right to speak their mind about their care. On the flip side, there are patients who will tell off anyone and anything when it truly isn't warranted....

  10. I don't know if you are here or not

    fmrnicumom replied to msdr's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for sharing your story. You are obviously very strong, brave, and determined. You will no doubt touch many lives as a nurse - you will help make the world a better place.

  11. Thinking about switching majors. So discouraged.

    fmrnicumom replied to Pinky05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on the A's! :D Keep up the awesome work! Too funny about the fortune cookie - I'm not normally much for signs, but maybe you got that because you needed to hear it. Hang in there....

    fmrnicumom replied to jla623's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just received word that we won't hear until late October, early November, so I have a little longer to wait than I thought. Oh well, right? lol Music in my heart, (sorry, I don't know how to do...

  14. Is anyone else going absolutely crazy???

    fmrnicumom replied to jla623's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks! You're a former NICU dad? Care to share details? :) My sons are what gave me the extra push to go back to school. I only hope I can give back a fraction of what we have been given over...

  15. Is anyone else going absolutely crazy???

    fmrnicumom replied to jla623's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do your schools have a list of what you need to do before you start? I've looked all over my school's website and can't find one. I'm sure I'll have plenty to do, too. I'm oddly calm right now. I...

  16. husband begrudgingly supportive

    fmrnicumom replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in General Nursing

    I can relate to a lot of what you've posted. I could write out my story, but I'd rather not because we have come so far from where we were. Let's just say that last year I hit my breaking point. We...

    fmrnicumom replied to phoenixfire's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Still waiting. I did hear in micro lab today that they had less applications this round than expected - like half as many! I don't know if it's true or not, but I can hope right? lol

  21. why do you want to be a nurse???

    fmrnicumom replied to Nili927's topic in General Students

    I think a good way to keep your answer from sounding common is to make it personal. What triggered your interest in nursing? Was it your experience as a patient? Was a parent/friend/relative a...

  22. Considering a mid-career change into nursing - Yikes!

    fmrnicumom replied to NHGUY's topic in General Students

    I agree that you're never too old to start something new. The 2 years will pass whether you're pursuing your dream or not. Would you rather say "I'm 46 and an RN" or "I'm 46 and I wonder what would...

  23. What's your best weight loss tip?

    fmrnicumom replied to JenMarie82's topic in Health, Stress Management
