    I'm transferring with less than a year until I graduate.... Am I crazy?!

    BlueRidgeModonda replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    I don't think it's normal at all. During my first semester (of five), after passing basic competences we were on the floor; doing basic assessments, passing meds (under supervision), attending to...

    BREASTFEEDING

    BlueRidgeModonda replied to srobinson5750's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think it depended on your state/school requirements. Most CC's here in NC require your CNA before even applying to their ADN programs. If you want to be an RN, go for your RN. Just research your...

    Danskos hurt my feet :(

    BlueRidgeModonda replied to alaina.barton's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I second the sizing up suggestion. I wear an 8-8.5 US. I bought a size 39 thinking they'd be the right size... WRONG. I had the same pain you described. Sized up to a 40, my feet have never been...

    Do Nurses Get Traffic Tickets?

    BlueRidgeModonda replied to rachelita's topic in General Nursing

    Mr BlueRidge is a cop who wouldn't pull anyone over unless they were a known "knucklehead" or truly endangering the public. Speeding, looking at your phone, speeding up to get thru that yellow...

    ^^ let them not use Google. It thins the herd for those who dress appropriately. I'm all about natural selection. (Not feeling especially nurturing and supportive this morning)

    New Grad RNs at Mission - Salary & Honest Opinions Please?

    BlueRidgeModonda replied to NikkiJo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    If you will be living in Mars Hill, you might want to check out the jobs available in Johnson City, TN. Roughly the same amount of travel as to AVL. Mission's new grad program won't be opening...

    Anyone did Sample Test #4 in Kaplan's Qbank??

    BlueRidgeModonda replied to itsdebraanne's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That forth one almost killed me. I only scored 27%. FWIW- I completed 81% of the Qbank @ 60%. Just passed the NCLEX last month. 75 Q's. 14 of them were SATA's. Don't beat yourself silly over that...

    Neutral color slacks, button down and appropriate shoes. Simple accessories (ie wedding ring, and earrings). Bring a professional binder/folder/organizer for paperwork. Don't forget a pen! Congrats...

    Your Interview Outfits

    BlueRidgeModonda replied to RonnieDita's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Switch the jegging to a pair of straight leg khaki trousers. If length is an issue (it always is for me, even in petites!) alterations aren't that expensive... and the fail safe method of pressing the...
