  1. Student Loan Debt

    Red Kryptonite replied to RN3307's topic in General Students

    I'm also 40 and halfway through a community college LPN program. Let me ask you something: as a person only 25 years away from what most people regard as retirement age, do you really want to dig...

  2. Why does it take so long to find a job?

    Red Kryptonite replied to eris08's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I can't imagine it hurts! Since you mentioned that as one of the places you want to work, ask them for reference letters you can attach to your applications. The good word of professors who teach in...

  3. A question regarding expired licensure.

    Red Kryptonite replied to maxov's topic in General Nursing

    Question: if OP were working as a nurse in his/her native country, would s/he have been able to renew the New York license while doing

  4. Failed out of RN program on final semester

    Red Kryptonite replied to goddessily's topic in General Students

    What kind of trip was it? I wonder because it seems like you took a big risk by going on a trip and missing two classes when you were already repeating and knew it was your last chance. If it was...

  5. Urgent Csection

    Red Kryptonite replied to Tink1987's topic in Ob/Gyn

    From the patient side, as I've had two cesareans, I would appreciate that you sent me for xray if you weren't sure, rather than CYA and keep your mouth shut, letting me go septic and possibly die...

  6. Thinking about becoming a CNA but...

    Red Kryptonite replied to shabish's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    LPNs are very much in demand in Arizona, as well. I laugh when I see claims that they're being gotten rid of, because I work with tons of LPNs and the job boards are full of

  7. Failing Nursing School Over One Class?!!

    Red Kryptonite replied to Britgirl1's topic in General Students

    I guess we will never know what the supposed unfair treatment by the CI consisted of. Usually when people are asked for details and withhold them, it damages

  8. Help! I have to precept a new grad who already knows it all....but not really.

    Red Kryptonite replied to GOMER-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to be so blunt, but you're screwed. If you have the sit down, insist on a third party being present. Ask if he can be assigned to someone else, because I have a feeling he's going to drag any...

    Red Kryptonite replied to uthscsa2011's topic in School

  10. pima college wait list...the worst

    Red Kryptonite replied to AGACNPmathis's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I didn't realize the waiting lists were so bad down there. Even here in Maricopa they're starting to loosen up. A friend of mine moved to Yavapai county to escape waiting list hell and just...

  11. pima college wait list...the worst

    Red Kryptonite replied to AGACNPmathis's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think you're thinking of the private Pima Medical Institute here in the Phoenix area, whereas the OP is talking about Pima County Community

  12. LPN school and night shift

    Red Kryptonite replied to calexis20's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Sounds like you have a good plan in place. How long is your program? Mine's only 2 semesters so I'm half done. Thank

  13. Article: Paramedics equal to RNs

    Red Kryptonite replied to SummitRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I see posts like this and can't help but think that RNs pushed the development of such roles as MA and CNA in order to free themselves from being task-oriented and elevate the profession into a more...

  14. Choosing a route - CNS vs CRNA (chem bachelors, ADN)

    Red Kryptonite replied to cjb19's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You know, PsychGuy was nothing but polite to you and offered feedback based on having seen the role at work. And then you chose to toss this his way. Who peed in your Cheerios this

    Red Kryptonite replied to calexis20's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I work three NOC 12s a week and am almost done with my first semester. I'm married with five kids from a graduating senior down to a second grader. We are making it work but there is no way I could...

  16. Just got accepted ...now im afraid!

    Red Kryptonite replied to mcm336's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Why do you have to quit working? I'm finishing up the first semester of my LPN program and have worked full time, with no plan to change that. I have a family, and so really no

    Red Kryptonite replied to mitterlola's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congratulations on the good grade and the baby! My first semester final is 6 days from now, finished LTC clinicals about a week ago. I am going into my final with an A, for which I never dared to...

  18. Torn

    Red Kryptonite replied to Kaligirl02's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Think of it this way: a semester is 4 months. Just look at it as your final semester of school. 4 months that suck to set you up for life with the job you want sounds like a pretty good

  19. I hate night shift

    Red Kryptonite replied to Wrangler156's topic in General Nursing

  25. Failing Nursing School Over One Class?!!

    Red Kryptonite replied to Britgirl1's topic in General Students

    Did she tell you why she wouldn't allow you to do skills? How did she single you out or treat you unfairly? Skipping two clinical days would result in a fail for even the most competent student....
