  1. Is nursing right for me?

    busybeeSN replied to Smith98's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm nervous about starting IV's too, I think everyone probably is at least a little. I think with the poop/pee/vomit you can either handle it or you can't. It honestly bothers me far less than I...

    busybeeSN replied to AreEnd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So there's 3 different ways to become a nurse. LPN (called something else in some areas) is a 1-2 year degree, you're a nurse but your scope of practice is more limited and so is pay usually. ADN is a...

  4. Future in LTC

    busybeeSN replied to ajs9009's topic in General Students

  5. Tell me I can do this

    busybeeSN replied to Nurse2bAlissa's topic in General Students

    busybeeSN replied to abouttimeRN's topic in General Nursing

    busybeeSN replied to guest723's topic in General Students

    busybeeSN replied to Lessh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  14. I can do your job, you can't do mine.

    busybeeSN replied to crobson221's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I can always tell the nurses who were once CNAs. They're helpful and kind. I honestly couldn't work LTC as a CNA. Nurses would be chatting down the hall, call lights going and I would be breaking my...
