1. observing the female species

   juji fruit replied to nurse_gigolo69's topic in General Students

   Gigolo, I would think that the reason you observe this behavior in "just the women" in your group is because you are the male minority. Maybe it's just not your personality to behave in that way. I know plenty of people (men and women) that choose ...

2. RNs in Advanced Class with New Grads

   juji fruit replied to -jt's topic in Educators

   -jt, you have very valid points. I guess I just was initially kind of offended because I happen to be young, but do not consider myself immature. I am however, lacking in experience, so I will admit to that:0) I also agree the instructor should ha...

3. Nurses Storyline on "ER"??

   juji fruit replied to -jt's topic in Activism

   I honestly do see the point of how nursing is depicted on ER and in the media in general. It is not realistic, but it makes for good entertainment. But, like you say, aren't we just chasing our tails? I personally got into nursing so I could do so...

4. Nurses Storyline on "ER"??

   juji fruit replied to -jt's topic in Activism

   I guess I'm just in an onery mood tonight, but I just have to say it; It's a TV show, for goodness sake!!! Lets all take responsibility for ourselves and quit trying to blame the "state of affair" of the moment on TV and the media. If somebody trul...

5. RNs in Advanced Class with New Grads

   juji fruit replied to -jt's topic in Educators

   Maybe it was the group of people asking the questions that was the problem, not that they are "at a different level". I am in an ADN program getting ready to finish up and consider myself a pretty good critical thinker. I don't think it's about lev...

   juji fruit replied to New CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

   I have not quite gotten over needles yet. First time I saw stars (no passing out, just a little gray:0), was in OB. Pt. was getting an epidural in prep for a C/S. Had to turn away just to talk myself out of it cause I BEGGED my instructor to let m...

8. My first pt. died today

   juji fruit posted a topic in General Students

   Had my first pt. die today :0( It was not as horrible as I thought it would be, but I honestly did not have to deal with much of the aftermath since I am a student. We knew it was going to happen, it was just a matter of when so it was not a supris...

    juji fruit replied to Jrnalist2RNinOR's topic in Oregon

    It's not techically Oregon, but I go to Clark Community College in Vancouver. They too have the agreement with WSU to immediatly go on to get your bachelors degree. I am not personally going that route, but sounds like it might work for you. Clark...

11. I hate this Effexor XR

    juji fruit replied to itsme's topic in General Nursing

    I had the same symptoms you describe with it. I did not take it for very long because of the lack of libido mostly. I made the BIG mistake of going cold-turkey (guess I should practice what I preach, huh?!) and felt like a zombie for about a week. ...

    juji fruit replied to *Ferty~OB~RN*'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    There was a male RN on the OB unit I did my clinical rotation on and all I ever heared were GREAT things about him. There were even letters from patients acknowledging( after 4 years of school and I still can't spell this word :0) how wonderful and ...

    juji fruit replied to happystudent's topic in General Nursing

    Happy, I have that same dilemma. I just finished my OR rotation and loved it. I got lots of + feedback from the staff and the work was so interesting! I have come to the conclusion that I am not cut out for med/surg. They are expected to do too m...

    Not to discount your frustration, but atleast they told you where you were on the waiting list! I got REALLY lucky and got in my program immediatly after finishing my prereqs, but there was alot of doubt on my part. Our school was just not telling ...

15. Just When You Thought it was Okay - Death Rates Linked to Nurses' Education

    juji fruit replied to KristinWW's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is interesting that an ADN is advertised as a "two year degree". Last time I checked, at my community college, it takes 4 years of full time attendence to obtain your ADN and be qualified to transfer to a baccaleurate (sp?) program. Gran...
