1. Anxiety has taken over

   lindsayt05 replied to IndyRN12's topic in Stress 101

   I'm not a nurse, so feel free to ignore this, but it sounds like you're letting other people affect the way you feel about yourself way too much. If you know you're doing the best job you can, and you're a good nurse, that's all that matters. It soun...

2. It's time to vent!!!

   lindsayt05 replied to MegRyanGirl's topic in NP

   There's definitely some truth to the American thing haha. My husband is Filipino and the second anyone gets a cold I (the American born one) is trying to force cold medicine down everyone's throats, while he has more of a "wait it out" attitude. He r...

3. Aspiring Nurse

   lindsayt05 replied to jkoulakani's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Sorry but I'm confused. Is your plan to major in microbiology and then switch to nursing, or get a BS in microbiology and a second degree in nursing (BSN)? I'm not sure what the curriculum is at other places, but the ADN I'm looking into only has a h...

   I'm not a nurse, but my aunt is and her advice to me was to work as a CNA first before applying to an RN program (which I'm doing. My class starts in May.) My mother in law is also a retired nurse and said the same. OP I would recommend getting your ...

6. The worst job you had before becoming a Nurse?

   lindsayt05 replied to Want2BeeRN's topic in General Nursing

   Not a nurse yet, but working at Wendy's was the worst. It was simultaneously the most boring and the most stressful job I've ever had. I never worked so hard for so little money. I would go home smelling like sweaty, fried butt every day. The only go...

7. How much money can you make by adopting medically need children?

   lindsayt05 replied to RNdynamic's topic in Disabilities

   People adopting these children make just enough to live on and get by,(hopefully) and not much more than that. It also depends on your state. It's definitely not a way to get rich. A friend of mine adopted two little boys with special needs (she is a...
