    NicoleLynch replied to ShontaFutureBSN's topic in General Students

    Hi there! I am 28, a mom of 2 little girls and just got accepted into an ADN program in Washington state, although I am from Idaho. I am definitely a non-traditional student and would love to be part...

  2. I got in... now it's getting real

    NicoleLynch replied to Courtney in CA's topic in General Students

    Oh no, you're not alone! I'm riding that emotional roller coaster myself! I just got accepted to my school's nursing program, which starts at the end of September. I'm excited, nervous, scared, happy,...

  4. Nursing school and a newborn?

    NicoleLynch posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello! I am curious to know if anyone has attempted nursing school while having a newborn baby? I am currently getting ready to start taking my last pre-req course before I apply for nursing school...

  5. Where are the best nursing schools in Idaho?

    NicoleLynch replied to tmzmckinney's topic in General Nursing

    Is that right? I guess it's a good thing I decided to do the bridge program elsewhere then. I am going to WWCC right now actually and will be applying to the nursing program in January. Thanks for the...

  6. Would you deliver your baby at your place of employment?

    NicoleLynch replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, congratulations! Yes, I did have my daughter at the hospital I worked in and had a wonderful experience. Everyone was very kind and professional. I chose to go there because it was the...

  8. update on child

    NicoleLynch replied to ladytraviler's topic in General Nursing

    I also had to read the original post for the back-story. What a wonderful thing you did for this girl. It sounds like she's grown up to be a wonderful

  9. Introverted nurses

    NicoleLynch posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hopefully this is the right place to ask this question. Do you consider yourself introverted and does it affect your job performance in a high-stress area, like a med/surg floor? How do you cope? I...

    NicoleLynch replied to AccelCNL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How inspiring! I'm so glad you never gave up on your dreams and you were able to overcome a very difficult situation! Cheers to you!

  11. Introverted nurses

    NicoleLynch replied to NicoleLynch's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thanks for sharing your story, DosmoRN! You sound a lot like me, which makes sense if we're both ISTJ. I don't get consumed with gossip or rumors and try to avoid them, in fact. I have a small handful...

  12. Introverted nurses

    NicoleLynch replied to NicoleLynch's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My only issue working night shift is that I am not a night person whatsoever. Always have been a morning person. I did work one night shift on my CNA orientation and I really enjoyed it other than it...

  13. Introverted nurses

    NicoleLynch replied to NicoleLynch's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know what you mean. My husband is very much an extrovert and doesn't always understand when I need alone time. He tries though and is getting better but I often have to remind him that I need to be...

    Thanks for the link, akulahawk. I took the test and got ISTJ. Introvert(100%) Sensing(12%) Thinking(12%) Judging(100%) You have strong preference of Introversion over Extraversion (100%) You have...

  15. Introverted nurses

    NicoleLynch replied to NicoleLynch's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thanks for the feedback! Forgive me for sounding ignorant, but is there a website or somewhere I can test myself to see just what type of introvert I am? I'm interested to find

  16. Parents who decide to pursue the difficult task of nursing school (Rant)

    NicoleLynch replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in General Students

    I can attest to children boosting GPA's as well! Before I had kids, I went to school at a different college for a different major and I just did not care. I had no incentive to make me do the best I...

  17. Nursing School and Kids

    NicoleLynch replied to trust_andloyalty's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you can think of it as a short-term sacrifice for a long-term investment for your family, it might make your decision a little easier. I am kind of in the same boat as you. I have a daughter who is...

    NicoleLynch replied to 16mm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. Please help me! Not sure what to do!

    NicoleLynch replied to juligo26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's wonderful that you are great with children and you already have one of your degrees to be a teacher. And good teachers who love what they do help people mentally and intellectually, if not...

  20. Disgusting clinical site

    NicoleLynch replied to Backwardo's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm sorry that you had to go through that as your first clinical experience. Those poor residents... I agree with the two posts above. The Ombudsman needs to be

    I've heard really great things about Lewis Clark State College in Lewiston, Idaho. I'm thinking of transferring there for an RN to BSN later on. Lewis-Clark State College - Lewiston,

  22. Nursing school and a newborn?

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

    Thanks, you guys. It's really comforting to see that other people have been through this before too. It's just such a complicated decision to make because there are sacrifices that will have to be...

  23. Registering for the Fall (AP)

    NicoleLynch replied to Ariana214's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on how much time you want to spend on getting your pre-req's done. If you have the time to take one class alone, A&P I would be a good choice for that because it also will come with a...

  24. Why Do You Want To Be A Nurse?

    NicoleLynch replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    I never could answer the question, "What do you want to do when you grow up?" as I was growing up and older. As a child, I wanted to be like my aunt Kathy, who is a nurse, but never really thought...

  25. Nursing school and a newborn?

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

    I think that is exactly what I will do. Probably use my CNA once baby is a little older so that I can keep it current and gain more experience. I only used it for about 6 months and have had it for...
