  1. Tips for personal essay!

    AliNajaCat replied to enfermera21's topic in General Students

    Great questions, they'll give the admissions people some insight into how you'll do. What are your thoughts on

  3. Orientation day + first weeks+ smoking cessation meltdown

    AliNajaCat replied to Username invalid's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well, if nothing else, this will give you a good appreciation for the awful experience of being out of control of your health and of the depths of misery somebody who looks perfectly normal can be in....

  4. Nurse-Midwife Goal: Where to start?

    AliNajaCat replied to Sconner6's topic in General Students

    The admins will combine the two threads if you ask them. :) Then you'll have everybody all at once in one

  5. Advice: Choosing clinical unit and I am pregnant

    AliNajaCat replied to SweetDuluth's topic in General Students

    Nobody gets a guarantee of anything, including how your pregnancy goes. If you are normally healthy, you can do anything. Hell, I did CPR straddling a patient on a guerney when I was 37 weeks. I am...

  6. Help!!!

    AliNajaCat replied to TaylorB17's topic in General Students

    Same thing. There, that was

  7. Patient Keeps Asking for Another Nurse

    AliNajaCat replied to purplegal's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Dollars to doughnuts she's telling Nurse Lovely that you're a Class A ******* who never does anything right and she's the only good nurse in the shop. Divide and conquer is the M.O. here. The two of...

  8. Should I bother to reapply?

    AliNajaCat replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. Nothing to lose, everything to gain. Go for

  9. Should Obama care be repealed?

    AliNajaCat replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    $500,000? That's petty cash in an industry where the profits routinely total into the BILLIONS. That's the cost of doing business, and it's a tax write-off

  10. Nursing tutor Please Help!!

    AliNajaCat replied to Slimm3's topic in General Students

    Your faculty! Make an apt to see your faculty every week to go over what you're missing. They want to help you. They do. That's what they're there for, and it makes them crazy if you're having...

  11. What is a better field to go into?

    AliNajaCat replied to MariHer20's topic in General Students

    They;re wrong. Forget the LPN. Do a real nursing program leading to

  12. Nurse-Midwife Goal: Where to start?

    AliNajaCat replied to Sconner6's topic in General Students

    Wait, didn't you post the same question somewhere else? The general consensus there was that you wanna go to CNM school, work in OB/postpartum; ICU won't help you and will make the CNM admissions...

  13. Should Obama care be repealed?

    AliNajaCat replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    Another thing about the tort reform exaggeration: Of 100 cases brought to attorneys for possible medical malpractice cases, 96 are rejected outright as not meritorious, i.e., no basis for an action,...

  14. WILTW 1/22: Cozy Up To Gas Exchange

    AliNajaCat replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't learn this this week, but five weeks ago: A nasty flu-like illness is caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae, also famous for causing blood blisters in ears, on both sides and on the tympanic...

  15. Should Obama care be repealed?

    AliNajaCat replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    They can't refuse to cover preexisting conditions. And $260/month is peanuts. Don't call insurance companies directly. Call an independent insurance agent (they're in the listings) and have them do...

  16. Nurse-Midwife Goal. Where to start?

    AliNajaCat replied to Sconner6's topic in General Nursing

    You won't, that's the point. You want to be in L&D, show them that's your overriding focus. A story. Awhile back, through some really bad management decisions, a lot of nurses were let go from our...

  17. Should Obama care be repealed?

    AliNajaCat replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    This is actually not true. The biggest drivers of healthcare costs are related to the lack of regulation and negotiation for costs as paid by a national health service for all citizens. Costs for...

  18. Staff Development Coordinator

    AliNajaCat replied to cbrue645's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Perhaps before inviting the obvious comment, maybe consider providing more information on your qualifications. You got the interview. Now maybe you'll hear from other people with the "very little...

  19. Help with a slogan??

    AliNajaCat replied to jessimee's topic in General Nursing

    Please don't do anything tacky like, "Nurses call the shots (illustration of syringe with dripping needle)." We all know it's not true enough. Personally, I like Laura Gasparis Vonfrolio's...

  20. Staff Development Coordinator

    AliNajaCat replied to cbrue645's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Oh great, sure, like the staff development coordinator doesn't really need any, like, real experience to be the authority figure doing training. Nope. When I got my SD job I had been out of college...

  21. Help with clinical goals

    AliNajaCat replied to Roseyposey's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Read your psych book and see if that suggests some things you'd like to

  22. Best DNP programs

    AliNajaCat replied to OncologyNP44's topic in General Students

    Sigh. Go to the top of the page, see Specialties, go to DNP. Ask them. They will be better to ask if you want somebody to "be of

  23. What is a better field to go into?

    AliNajaCat replied to MariHer20's topic in General Students

    Wait.... what? You're in school for nursing but you want to do something else for the next four years? What does that even

  24. HELP! stuck

    AliNajaCat replied to kittygraamm's topic in General Students

    You won't be able to go anywhere if you don't know where you are. Do some serious thinking about who you are and what you want to be; don't just expect to Google it to get others' work. Besides,...

  25. Which is better DNP or PhD?

    AliNajaCat replied to mswiney1's topic in General Nursing

    Suggest you go to the websites of some reputable (i.e., not online for-profit) university schools and read their course descriptions for the various doctoral programs. This will take you some time and...
