  2. FSW Fall 2016 Nursing Applicants

    Sage611 replied to Angeleyezz's topic in School, College Programs

    I know we have to be CPR certified, but I hope we know exactly which immunizations we have to get. Hepatitis is a 3 part series that you can't get all at once, if I remember correctly with dental...

    Sage611 replied to Angeleyezz's topic in School, College Programs

    Thank you for the site. It appears that for Lee County, the 2015 class had a pass rate of 87%. Also, I'm really surprised that some candidates on here with 80+ TEAS scores did not get admitted. Must...

    Sage611 replied to dalainey's topic in General Nursing

    If you makes you feel any better, I'm 49 and going back to school this fall...to be a nurse. í ½í¸„ At least you've had a lengthy career! I was a hygienist and now am starting over. I say to go...

    Sage611 replied to Fancychicken's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! Just starting my sojourn into nursing, but I'm going to file that away for future

  8. Fear of Regretting NOT Going to Nursing School

    Sage611 replied to lalions11's topic in General Students

    My mom told me not to become a nurse (same thing, former RN), so I took her advice and became a dental hygienist. Years later, here I am deciding to pursue nursing. When I told her this time, she said...

    Then there's the shoes, but that's another post..... Wonderful thing is, it's my husband who shops and buys everything for me. Lucky

    Sage611 replied to Fancychicken's topic in General Nursing

    What does forensic nursing entail and what do you learn with the SAFE certification? That's right up my

    Good

  12. Terminated. Pursue a Lawsuit?

    Sage611 replied to ERgirlynurse's topic in General Nursing

    So nice to see kindness on this board. I have read all the responses, have filed away all the precautions, ethical considerations, and proper protocol as a hopeful nursing student. So, thank you, OP...

  13. Client vs Patient

    Sage611 replied to srercg's topic in General Nursing

    Not a nurse yet, but totally agree with you. I've had my share of "clients." It is inferred that the relationship is based on a financial arrangement. He/she can be the hospital's client; as a nurse,...

  14. Is it really that bad?

    Sage611 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a dental hygienist, currently not licensed, as I moved to a state with no reciprocity. I do not like my profession, because it's a sales job and the focus is production. I have applied to a local...

  15. Is it really that bad?

    Sage611 replied to Sage611's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I'm curious how the two curriculums compare. I found hygiene easy as far as academics, but I would go home crying after clinic. Our instructors were almost abusive and seemed to enjoy their...

  16. Is it really that bad?

    Sage611 replied to Sage611's topic in General Nursing

    I prefer part-time. Nice that that's an option. I liked the hygiene work week and the relationship with patients, but some days I felt I was in Groundhog Day lol. I think burnout is possible in any...

    Good suggestion. My mom and my aunt were both nurses as well. Have heard the good, the bad and the

  18. Is it really that bad?

    Sage611 replied to Sage611's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. People are funny. We seek validation for what we desire.

  19. Is it really that bad?

    Sage611 replied to Sage611's topic in General Nursing

    Please don't misunderstand me. Sales does not equal customer service. By nature I am customer-oriented. My first hygiene position made me second-guess all I was taught in school, to care for my...

    Sage611 replied to Sage611's topic in General Nursing

    I am not opposed to paying my dues to gain experience, but I hope to have a work/life balance. Money is not my primary motivator. I appreciate everyone's
