    You will all probably hate me for this

    Lulu Belle replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely, you all express valid opinions that I do not disagree with. However, there is an attitude here of "let's all agree we can be as mean as we want, and anyone who calls us mean is a wuss!"...

    Goodwin or community college

    Lulu Belle replied to petunia1984's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    If you can get into the CT CC Nursing Program, do it. I have heard nothing good about Goodwin. Just so you can do the math, here is the sheet that tells you the tuition and fees for fall 2015 at...

    I went to New Britain EMS academy and it was 4hrs 2x a week (you could choose day or evening. They're pretty accommodating so if you needed to do evenings one week and days the next they'd most likely...

    Any recommendations for CNA programs in the state?

    Lulu Belle replied to WCSU1987's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Tunxis's program was fantastic and their next one starts June 5. You get to choose the time and day of your lab/clinical. They *may* accommodate you if you need to switch up your lab/clinical day from...

    Lulu Belle replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a very new poster but I've been lurking since before I knew what CNA stood or that there is more than one type of nursing degree (I was really, really confused). AN has played a tremendous role in...

    Nurses who went to med school

    Lulu Belle posted a topic in Nursing Career

    This is not another one of those NP versus MD posts, I promise. I specifically chose nursing for many reasons, though I considered going pre-med for a while. It's just that I noticed the pre-med...

    Family issue..Thoughts?

    Lulu Belle replied to jrabbit619's topic in General Students

    I was in a very similar situation, except that it was my dad. He was emotionally unstable and abusive and would make threats to kill himself/hurt my mom over my life decisions on a regular basis. It's...

    Prayers for Baltimore

    I apologize since this is not necessarily nursing related, but my prayers go out to those who work, live, or have loved ones in Baltimore. Especially to those healthcare workers who don't have the...

    Prayers for Baltimore

    Lulu Belle replied to Lulu Belle's topic in Maryland Nursing

    That is so horrible. I am located on the eastern shore, but it was a hysterical call from my best friend's younger sister that prompted the original post. She lives in a neighborhood that was being...

    Who teaches essential nursing skills?

    Lulu Belle replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Not to change the subject, but would anyone be willing to speak to how students can gauge whether or not a program will be lacking in these areas before they apply (if at all possible)? Obviously,...

    Summer Job Woes

    Lulu Belle replied to Lulu Belle's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Other than just plain feeling bad about option one, I wouldn't want to cut ties with a facility that I could potentially work at on break and next summer etc., but thank you for the home care agency...

    LPN or RN? Spouse in Military?

    Lulu Belle replied to Deer2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow. I wish I had more to offer than my support. I feel like I can oddly identify with your situation, and it is also remarkably similar to that of two people very close to me. Over the duration of...

    Area of nursing with the least amount of vomit?

    Lulu Belle replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Nursing

    I know you didn't mention a fear of vomit, but I'm assuming that's why you're asking this, so I will share my story: I used to be very, very emetophobic. To the point where I would begin to shake if...
