  1. Nursing in Russia?

    Parakeet replied to Parakeet's topic in International Nursing

    I understand you concern. Actually, volunteering is a great idea. I have volunteered as a babysitter a few times at a homeless shelter in Atlanta. It is not that I am trying to ignore problems here...

  2. Nursing in Russia?

    Parakeet replied to Parakeet's topic in International Nursing

    Thank you! FYI, I was born in Russia and adopted from there. To be very clear: I am not going because of politics. By no stretch of the imagination do I agree with or support communism, or Mr. Putin!...

  3. Nursing in Russia?

    Parakeet replied to Parakeet's topic in International Nursing

    Whew! That would be a place to work! They still are some fifty years behind in some things. Sounds interesting, thanks for the

  4. Nursing in Russia?

    Parakeet replied to Parakeet's topic in International Nursing

    No. Right now I am trying to learn it on the side while in nursing school! Its kind of when I have the time. Afterward, though, I want to really work on it. Right now I am just looking for information...

  5. Nursing with christianality

    Parakeet replied to Anna2015's topic in General World

    Pensacola Christian College in Pensacola, Florida has a masters in nursing. Their tuition and dorm rates are very affordable. The college is very international student-friendly. I have met students...

  6. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    Parakeet replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I understand the forgiveness point. Yes, Jesus said we should forgive; but that does not always mean we can forget............it means we should not hold it against that person. Yes, if someone...

    Parakeet replied to Parakeet's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Thanks so much! This is really helpful. I am still in school, so I will keep on looking.

  8. Future LPN question about EMT-P

    Parakeet posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    O.k. My question is about the Solo paramedic program. I am starting an LPN program next week, hoping to finish next spring. I am also looking into Wilderness medicine because I want to go overseas. I...

  9. Future LPN question about EMT-P

    Parakeet replied to Parakeet's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I want to do overseas medical missions. I thought that wilderness medicine would be a addition with training in improvising. I just wondered what other people's experience has been. Either way, I will...

  13. What is the freaking deal with OB?

    Parakeet replied to Mavrick's topic in General Students

    I am one of those nursing students who wants to go into L&D. Unfortunately right now as I am in LPN school, that may not be a possibility yet, but maybe later. My reason? For one, there is an...

  14. Nursing school too hard on purpose?

    Parakeet replied to fangirl's topic in General Students

    I kind of get what you mean fangirl, but this sounds somewhat over the top. If you have read your history, Florence Nightingale dealt with similar issues and so much more. In her day, nursing was one...

  15. WWI / WW2 Nursing dress

    Parakeet replied to Parakeet's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thank you 'meanmaryjean', I understand what you mean. My problem is that most of the scrubs and skirts they sell today are too short or too narrow. I am looking for something that is mid-calf or...

  16. LPN & EMT certification

    Parakeet posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am not sure if this question has been approached before. Have any of you LPNs found that you can have more work opportunities, say in the ED or trauma, if you have EMT certification? I am starting...

  17. Future GA LPN!

    Parakeet posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    After waiting at the edge of my seat since December 2nd of last year, a couple weeks ago I received a letter stating I am officially accepted into the LPN program I applied for. I think it is amazing...

  18. LPN & EMT certification

    Parakeet replied to Parakeet's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I understand. I am hoping to go overseas, as I may have mentioned before. I am trying to find out if it would be a good investment to also get EMT certification as well as my LPN. I am still just...

  19. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    Parakeet replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    I understand what you mean. That is really similar to the way I started as well. I wanted to help people in some way. Nursing was practical and hands-on. As I have been going to school, however, I...

  20. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    Parakeet replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    I think that you are quite right. It looks like we are starting to backtrack, rather than advance in much of the nursing field. When you think about it, that is what Florence Nightingale had to deal...

  21. LPNs Overseas

    Parakeet posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am interested in doing medical missions if I get my LPN diploma. I was just wondering if LPNs would have a greater scope of practice overseas. For instance, if I went to Papua New Guinea, could I...

  23. LPN vs MA

    Parakeet posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

  25. LPN vs MA

    Parakeet replied to Parakeet's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    OK, I get it. Does anyone know what a good passing score is for the NLN test? I got a 156 in the 99 percentile, but competition is pretty high. I don't find out till March whether I got in or not. Can...
