    RebeccaJeanRN replied to Christinmomof3nrs2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is really fun to hear- keep up the good work!

  2. Amniotic Band Syndrome? Heard of it? Seen it?

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Happened with my mother's pregnancy of my sister (who was born missing a few toes). Subsequently, my sister's son was born with a club foot...so I wonder if its inherited? But interestingly, my...

  3. Falsely Accussed, Manager a Witch

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to Furoffire's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for pointing that out...I was wondering same thing when I read that post (why weren't they either answering OP with something encouraging/helpful or why not start a new thread with their own...

  4. Failing the NCLEX- please help

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to CollegeGirl06's topic in General Nursing

    You might want to check out several threads on the NCLEX forum in this site. There are many, many posts from people who took the NCLEX multiple times and finally passed, as well as posts with...

  5. Falsely Accussed, Manager a Witch

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to Furoffire's topic in General Nursing

    Now there's a really professional, helpful response... (And if simply aiming at humor, better not quit your day

  6. Dazed & Discouraged

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to MaryElizabethMahoney's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    :) Hi Mary- I was a 'big' 44 when I started on pre-reqs and 47 when I entered LLUSN. Age really has some advantages (life experience, less shockability, etc.), although my youngest peers were soooo...

  7. Is Spanish a very impt language to learn in California?

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to bernskiw's topic in California Nursing

    I am amazed by the resistance to learning some basic Spanish that will help you with the many non-English speaking clients. As 'if' by NOT learning, the need will go away. I have been taking Spanish...

  8. Chaffey College Students?

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to TTM01's topic in California Nursing

    I had a B.S. degree before nursing school, but was missing some pre-reqs. Took them at Chaffey. It was a very good experience overall- good instructors and learned alot. Watch out for the general ed...

  9. Discouraged: Is EVERY public USA nursing program impacted?

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to stillpressingon's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: I just don't understand why at least the private schools won't pay what the salaries need to be, in order to draw instructors. I understand them wanting advanced degrees in order to...

  10. "Male Problems" while nursing female

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to Pat_Pat RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    :yeahthat: Good advice Gonzo. Also, would be a shame to have this thread closed. I know the topic begs for humor, but this guy asked one of those questions that you cannot ask in nursing school and...

  11. Overwhelmed about nursing school

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to CMSNYC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    P.S. I sure do hope that you find a way to do it. The nursing profession needs people who want to go into it precisely for the reasons you do! Keep asking around, talk to the nursing schools about...

  12. How many questions?

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to PractikalNurse2B's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I really think its not the number of questions, but the attainment of knowledge and comfort with answering them. In other words, if after 3000 you are still getting most wrong, then you need more...

  13. Allnurses Community, I have just realized that Nursing isn't for me.....

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    I think OT is an excellent avenue for earning decent money and for helping people. Its OK if nursing is not for you! Please consider, however, that nursing is versatile, and allows for MANY offshoot...

  14. HRSA tuition reimbursement grant-any nurse here ever actually get one?

    RebeccaJeanRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I see that HRSA gets thousands of applications for the government tuition reimbursement program for nurses working in DSH (Disproportionate Share Hospitals), but I've yet to meet ANY nurse who...

  15. NCLEX computation

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to rn4ever?'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took NCLEX-RN last month & passed. Had 75 questions with ZERO math computations. Lots of priority (who would you see first?) and lots of Teaching (what statement, if made by the patient, would...

  16. Student Nurses and Patient Confidentiality

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to walkiez's topic in General Nursing

    I don't agree that "nothing can be told to a student nurse in confidence". Things CAN be told to a student nurse in confidence. However, we were always taught that when you are told something that...

  17. Help!!

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to cas4978's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I love it when people can come back after worrying and say "I passed!" - good for you! And to all those people who are so willing to offer that they didn't pass on first tries, but eventually did- I...

  18. Fish Oil...

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good question, had me stumped! I ran to read the fine print on the bottle for storage when I read your post, because I just assumed that like most supplements, they would be OK at room temp! So I...

  19. Fish Oil...

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ROFL ! (and its the liquid form in capsules, Kirkland brand, that I purchased at Costco that I've been taking. I take one of those PLUS one flaxseed oil capsule, plus multivitamin + extra Calcium +...

  20. Took NCLEX-PN Today-Failed?

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to Jekajunkin's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I simply cannot begin to tell you how bad I too felt when I left the exam (in my case, it was the NCLEX-RN exam)...I wept in my car and went home feeling humiliated. To make matters worse, later in...

  21. Fish Oil...

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started taking fish oil because my health-conscious-fitness-fanatic daughter insisted that I add them to my vitamins each day because she was worried about my health (kept getting sick & rundown...

  22. New grad just got fired

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to rn2day's topic in General Nursing

    Wow...what a blow to have that happen- I'm so sorry you are going through this experience. In trying to think positive, I can't help but wonder if maybe its actually a good thing that it happened...

  23. Did you ever doubt your intelligence for Nursing school....

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    Oh my gosh yes! Nursing School was ALOT harder than I ever imagined it would be, and I had always been a good student. I don't think nurses get enough credit for what it takes to make it through...

  24. Posting questions taken directly from NCLEX exam and Kaplan QBank user name and passw

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to suzanne4's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Curious...who/what is

  25. Are you afraid to go to the ER?

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to scrmblr's topic in Emergency

    I don't know what would cause me to go to our ER...especially since I know that ours like to weigh patients right out in the lobby. Darn...if they just didn't insist on that visible public scale,...
