  1. I freaking hate cheaters

    NurseEmmy replied to Cyn241's topic in General Students

    Don't worry about them. Eventually it will catch up to

  2. Student Loans

    NurseEmmy replied to andry754's topic in General Students

    I would apply for financial aid. You might be able to qualify for scholarships through the school (depending on financial need and grades) and then there are plenty of private companies that offer...

  3. THANK YOU, to the staff, mods, and admins....

    NurseEmmy replied to weirdscience's topic in General Nursing

    As many have posted before... THANK YOU. I'm not sure what plans were made (if any were) in case something to happen like this. I think you have all done a spectacular job, considering we are all...

  4. NCLEX books

    NurseEmmy replied to natmanzo's topic in General Students

    Duplicate Post.

  5. NCLEX books

    NurseEmmy replied to natmanzo's topic in General Students

    Some programs include an NCLEX prep/Textbooks as part of your required materials. Make sure you aren't paying for something

  6. I'm upset and feel very disrespected.

    NurseEmmy replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in General Students

    Your sister should have been the one calling, not you. That way if she had another question she could have asked it. Sure he should not have blown up, but sometimes enough is enough. I wouldn't write...

  7. I'm a newbie and all of a sudden State's coming in

    NurseEmmy replied to TheAwkwardOne's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Shoot when state comes in you typically have better staffing. The DON and ADON will stress. That's not your problem and shouldn't be your concern. They are not there to trip you up. They just want to...

  8. Advice to current and future techs

    NurseEmmy replied to yougottobe's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I think it is wise to be a PCT or CNA before/during school. You are taught to do hands on care for patients. Many nurses lack this when they get into clinicals and the real world. Some Nurses do not...

  9. She took my patients!

    NurseEmmy replied to Weaverd11's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    3 minutes is not typically a big deal in the grand scheme of things, however you now know what can happen in those 3 minutes. Sure the other tech should have gone by the "unwritten" rule, but unless...

  10. The "Wait"

    NurseEmmy replied to MissDiamond315's topic in General Students

    A phone call would be heaven. For us you aren't sure what day they are sending out letters, except typically it is later than they told you it would be. You have only so many days to call back and...

  11. The "Wait"

    NurseEmmy replied to MissDiamond315's topic in General Students

    It is awful! You check your email or your mailbox every day.. hoping.. praying...pleading....waiting.....harassing the

  12. Ivy Tech LPN-RN

    NurseEmmy replied to NurseEmmy's topic in Indiana Nursing

    The ATI study guide/tests were great. Also again there are a lot of threads already about this that give you a lot of helpful hints in regards of what to expect. Try to not get too worried about it....

  13. "You won't be IV certified..."

    NurseEmmy replied to nodaknursey701's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Not every state requires you to be "certified". In many states you are not allowed to do IV pushes of certain medications, hang blood, etc (certified or not). This does not mean you cannot initiate an...

  14. What is/ was your most helpful nursing school supply?

    NurseEmmy replied to Beautiful_Soul's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My most useful nursing school supply has been highlighters.. I use those suckers a lot. Get a variety of colors. I organize my flash cards based on the subject: meds, diseases/disorders, treatments,...

  15. Pregnancy and nursing

    NurseEmmy replied to SayRPN's topic in General Students

    You need to talk with the school. If you are starting in Jan, and due in Feb, you are going to have problems. When I was in LPN school we had a girl that delivered and HAD to come to class the next...

  16. 150.00 background

    NurseEmmy replied to atlana's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Each state is different. I'm sorry I can't offer much advice in regards to the Texas BON, but typically we suggest contacting a lawyer. You will want to make sure you chose one that has dealt with the...

  17. How important is it work while in school?

    NurseEmmy replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in LPN to RN

    If I didn't have to work I wouldn't. It wouldn't hurt to stay PRN (who couldn't use a few extra bucks now and again), but I don't think it will hurt you in the long run. Now this being said having a...

  18. Ivy Tech LPN-RN

    NurseEmmy replied to NurseEmmy's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I got all A's on the pre-reqs. I did OK on the Teas Test. I'm not sure what you mean by how did I study? Study for what? If you are referring to the Teas test there are lots of topics about that here....

  19. Anatomy Help!

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

    Keep up with the work. Don't wait to cram before the midterm or

  20. A&P 1 online a good idea or bad

    NurseEmmy replied to jmd223's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P 1&2 online. They were both 100% online through my school. We still had labs/disections which were done at home and recorded for proof. I had no issue, but everyone is different. I...

  21. Pregnant during last semester of nursing school, waiting to graduate or after a job?

    NurseEmmy replied to SSNS07's topic in General Students

    I don't believe in the whole it's God's will/plan. There is personal responsibility. I wouldn't risk being put on bedrest and missing clinicals during the end of your program. TO pay the money to...

  22. I need help finding a new nursing program!

    NurseEmmy replied to Sammolmos11's topic in General Students

    Ok I honestly just spit water onto my computer. I'm speechless and that doesn't happen

  23. Tablets

    NurseEmmy posted a topic in General Nursing

    I put this in general nursing hoping for the most responses. I might need to invest in a tablet for my LPN-RN program. I have an Iphone, but I'm not very "techie" so I am at a loss. Any...

  24. BSN Job without License

    NurseEmmy replied to Itsmshelll's topic in General Nursing

    I would just figure out why I keep failing and fix that problem vs. finding a few rare jobs that do not require my license, yet utilize my

  25. Really dumb blood admin question

    NurseEmmy replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    This is why I love Allnurses. We can discuss policies and educate each
