  1. Christmas gift list

    NurseEmmy replied to Illuminati's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oooooooooh! Not too many people know who Richard Dawkins is! I'm impressed to say the least. While I may not agree with everything he says, I do find I agree with a lot of it. You must YouTube him...

  2. Thank goodness for Thanksgiving Break!

    NurseEmmy posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I REALLY needed a break away from classes. This week has allowed me to get ahead of my assignments and leave more time to focus come finals in just 3 short weeks. I didn't get much rest so far, but...

  3. educational value of care plans

    NurseEmmy replied to OnlinePersona's topic in General Students

    Wow.. You may not see the point to them now, but hopefully as you further your education you can recognize just how important they are. Believe me, I KNOW just how time consuming and frustrating they...

  4. Any one else have this happen?

    NurseEmmy replied to Nature_walker's topic in General Students

    I think it serves students well to work with a patient who dies. It is a fact of life and it teaches you appropriate responses to sometimes VERY upsetting, unexpected, and daily occurrences. I had my...

  5. PICO question

    NurseEmmy replied to alyssanicc's topic in General Students

    I don't think anyone is going to come up with a topic for you. Think about what you are interested in, what you think needs to be researched or improved on, something you have a connection to, etc....

  6. From C to B student in 1 test!!!!

    NurseEmmy replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes it is. You will look back and laugh at what you thought was tough. Congrats on your improvement. Enjoy your successes when you get

  7. Final Grade D = 74%

    NurseEmmy replied to nodirection29's topic in General Students

    I would assess why it is you have failed that class twice. Granted pharm is hard, and people have failed it once, but if you fail it twice in a row there is something you aren't grasping. Try other...

  8. I Am Completely Baffled....

    NurseEmmy replied to OldGrayNurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I had something sort of similar happen. There was an opening at my employer for a position that was listed as an LPN OR RN. I double checked with HR to make sure this posting was correct because to...

  9. 5-year-old chooses heaven over hospital

    NurseEmmy replied to anh06005's topic in Nursing News

    I too am not a "believer", but I also don't find the degenerative nature of her disease to be one I would want my child to "live" with. If I was facing their decision my choice would have nothing to...

  10. Don't profit off people's "not-wellbeing."

    NurseEmmy replied to zephyr9's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I cannot like this

  11. Fundraisers for nursing students

    NurseEmmy replied to shanell85's topic in General Students

    Ok I will admit at first I thought this was a how do I pay for school thread and I was going to suggest camming as a joke, but now that I see it is a legit thread I will say to talk to your local...

  12. Can they do this?

    NurseEmmy replied to jkadel's topic in General Students

    I would appeal on the next level in hopes that the fact that they did not catch it for 6 months helps you. I wouldn't count on it though. I understand your frustration and the hopes you could just...

  13. Very, Very Bad Week

    NurseEmmy replied to NurseGirl525's topic in General Students

    I am so sorry for your loss. It is difficult and we all handle things differently. You need to keep focused with school and take care of yourself. I won't lie and say the pain goes away, but it does...

  14. Meeting patient the day before clinical

    NurseEmmy replied to augurey's topic in General Students

    We did this when I was in school for my LPN. I hope this is not how this is handled by my school for my RN, but I do believe most of them in this area do this. It sucks. You are up all night trying to...

  15. So bummed!!

    NurseEmmy replied to nurse2bithink's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The chemistry part of TEAS got me. I passed, but it dragged my score down. Congrats on getting in elsewhere. Good luck with whichever program you decide (nursing or

  16. Should I make a stink about this?

    NurseEmmy replied to Zooey72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe I understand where you are coming from OP. I have a terrible Advanced Physiology professor. The English language is not her most fluent of languages and this reflects on her written quizzes....

  17. Free and/or low-cost technology for school

    NurseEmmy replied to TheCommuter's topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

    Libre office is free as well, but I dislike the "power point" creating tool. It is a bit complex. Otherwise this is another great free option. This was a great post with very helpful info. Thank

  18. Is it illegal to place a towel over a patient's face?

    NurseEmmy replied to poolnurse's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This is more effective than "pillow therapy". I like

  19. An update from the author of , "I Failed out of Nursing School ... Appealed and WON!!"

    NurseEmmy replied to NurseJen_BSN,RN's topic in General Students

    Congrats on making it to this

  20. Online Microbiology class

    NurseEmmy replied to kreyol77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did my A&P 1&2 online. I did the dissections at home and let me tell you - nothing about those classes were easy. I'm not sure how one would do micro online, but I'm sure they have found a...

  21. School Loans

    NurseEmmy replied to Ryandoug72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't rely on student loans to survive. They add up real fast and will eat your paycheck

  22. Did that really just happen?

    NurseEmmy replied to ladysushi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats.. Now the real "fun"

  23. Pre-Nursing Student Dilemma

    NurseEmmy replied to kornmealz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I suggest shadowing a nurse and an MD if you are able to. They are COMPLETELY different in their roles of the healthcare team. If you like being in charge there are careers like N/P that many states...

  24. Do employers like if you are at least enrolled in a RN-BSN program?

    NurseEmmy replied to Jaellys's topic in General Nursing

    It isn't going to hurt. Some places will hire you without a BSN, IF you agree to obtain one within so many years. Others don't care, and some require a BSN up front. Each place is different so it...

  25. Would you report me for this? (new question)

    NurseEmmy replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in General Nursing

    Leaving any creams or lotions at the bedside is a dangerous habit to start. I haven't read the other topic, but I'm guessing it had something to do with this. As a previous person mentioned - the...
