    BSN does not mean better... Sometimes education is overrated!

    Kim O'Therapy replied to lovegoddess1977's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Just a personal note. I started out in an ADN program and have transferred into a BSN program instead. I did not transfer because I thought I'd get a "better" education, get paid more, etc. I...

    Dragging 'em out of bed

    Kim O'Therapy replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Since she complains of being cold; would offering her a warm blanket in the chair get her out of bed? Substitute the warmth of the urine-soaked pad for something else? Good luck. You sound like a...

    That is such a great attitude and you will go far with it. While I kept waiting to hear from the schools I applied to; I took classes toward my Bachelor's and it paid

    Got my REJECTION letter yesterday

    Kim O'Therapy replied to I want to be a nurse's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Don't give up. I did not get into the university (I'm in TX) on the first try. When I got the "reject" letter, I called admissions and asked what I could do differently to ensure I was accepted next...

    What do you love about working in oncology?

    Kim O'Therapy replied to PatricksRNMommy's topic in Oncology

    I am currently a CNA on an oncology unit. I am working on my RN/BSN (junior year) and definitely plan on applying for a job there. I love it. My supervisor already told me she'd have a job waiting...

    Kim O'Therapy replied to BellaBloo's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This carreer choice may not be for you, and that's OK. I think it is a positive thing that you found out NOW, not after putting alot of money into tuition. There are a few colleges here that have...

    Kim O'Therapy replied to lovegoddess1977's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I agree with you. I have been a CNA for six years and am currently working on my BSN. So far, wherever I have done clinicals, the aides ask me if I was ever an aide. When I ask why, they tell me,...

    sniffing alcohol swab for nausea?

    Kim O'Therapy replied to vickynurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I agree. After my abdominal hysterectomy, I started dry-heaving. Although I was only half awake, I could smell the alcohol and the nausea would stop. Later, I asked about it because I'd never heard...

    Kim O'Therapy replied to smilesalot's topic in Texas Nursing

    It also depends on the instructor for that particular lecture. There are some teachers that you can study directly from the notes, and others want every single line in the book

    HCC HESI test

    Kim O'Therapy replied to meljq21's topic in Texas Nursing

    HCC's HESI entrance exam really isn't bad. I would recommend reviewing some of your A&P. The math and everything else was fairly simple. Good
