  1. z-coil shoes, foot pain gone

    RN007 replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard of z-coils and just went to their website. Now those are some weird looking shoes! But I'm interested. Where do you find the enclosed styles? I don't see them on the

  2. Too many Negative remarks regarding Nursing School here!! Stop the discouragement!!

    RN007 replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    I don't know about your program, but in mine, a student has to make a B to pass and stay in. If you miss a B by a 0.1 of a point, and you can, there is no guarantee of a spot in the class the...

  3. Thank you

    RN007 replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto! It's the only diversion I allow myself from studying. Anytime I need a study break, I just click on the allnurses tab. It's as good an education as I'm getting from my books, lectures and...

  4. RN's and the dreaded clinical experience...

    RN007 replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, Emma, I've felt the same things. In fact, I started a thread in the graduate nurses forum asking new RNs if they were happy with their first jobs, to tell me where were they are working and what...

  5. Help-50 y/o & desperate for advice

    RN007 replied to salt&pepper's topic in General Nursing

    Have you tried talking to nurse recruiters at hospitals and explaining your situation? I am older (48) and graduate in May. I made appointments with and have already met with all the recruiters at my...

  6. Planning our future and outsourcing

    RN007 replied to Mudwoman's topic in General Nursing

    This is a great, thought-provoking post. Thanks for starting it. I, too, am an 'older' student entering my second career May '07 as an RN and will continue to become an NP or CNS. Eventually, when I'm...

    RN007 replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    Because people will think you got too close to the source and breathed a little too deeply, LOL! Thanks for letting me horn in on your exchange. It's too

  9. What do I do? (long)

    RN007 replied to ChrgRN's topic in General Nursing

    I know I'll sound like a simpleton, and although I've held mgt positions in my former career, I'm still just a student nurse right now, but could you just talk to her, reminding her of the rule and...

  10. Help...husband discouraging me :(

    RN007 replied to Faye1's topic in General Nursing

    Girlfriend, I am 47 and will be 48 when I get my RN next year. I know I am more mature and confident than many of the younger students in my class. And I'm very proud of

  11. Help...husband discouraging me :(

    RN007 replied to Faye1's topic in General Nursing

    I imagine your husband is discouraging you because he truly cares for your well-being. I, too, met resistance from my husband when I started nursing school, not because of the clientele but because I...

  12. Opinions please...

    RN007 replied to Sandi0302's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still in school, but what I've observed during clinicals at my hospital is that the LPNs are the ones giving more personal care than the RNs. The RNs are too busy paging docs and waiting for them...

  13. Is 26 too old to go back to school?

    RN007 replied to anouk's topic in General Nursing

    Lord, no, Honey. I'm 47 and will be 48 when I get my RN next year. Follow your gut -- it's God speaking to

  17. Nursing Insurance

    RN007 replied to nurse79's topic in General Nursing

    I've been advised to buy insurance even as a student nurse. (We had a student start an IV w/o supervision. Not me!) I graduate in May. Where does one buy nursing

  18. Desperate !!

    RN007 replied to mika1's topic in General Nursing

    Some good suggestions have been offered. Is working at a hospital as a CNA or some similar part-time position and going to school part time an option? It'll take longer, but you'll have food and...

    RN007 replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, Indy. Good advice. I beat them to the punch. I immediately emailed my course instructor briefly explaining what happened and asked for a meeting. No, as upset as I am, they will not get the...

  22. Why place mom on her left side???

    RN007 replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm in OB class right now. From what I've learned, having the mom lie on her left side puts the least amount of perssure on the vena cava, thus optimizing blood return to the heart. Hope this
