1. New RNs, No job.

   ramona13 replied to KAUAIRNEMT's topic in New Nurse

   Wow. Going back to school to get your BSN seems like a lot more time, effort, and money just to get your foot in the door. I can't believe they would tell you that. Seems like too many hoops to jump through just to work for them, and it frustrates...

2. job hunt

   ramona13 replied to mixedfruit's topic in New Nurse

   Just got done with an interview. My one and only interview. Crossing my fingers, though I don't think I did that well. Froze on a question!!! Well, I'm only human. Trying to determine if a follow-up letter is warranted or not. Any input would b...

3. Student Nurses opinion in online chat VS. being reported to Board of Re

   ramona13 replied to buddha619's topic in General Nursing

   People can find out a lot if they obtain your ip address. If a stranger on the internet has access to your email address he can use it to locate your ip address and find out your name, school, and where you live.

4. Continuous Infusion

   ramona13 replied to rdombeck73's topic in General Students

   Continuous infusion, I think, is total volume in mL divided by total time to be infused in hours. For example, order: 1000mL NS to be infused over 24 hours = 41.6 = you would set the infusion pump at 42mL/hour Hope this was helpful.

5. Back to being an ugly nursing student

   ramona13 replied to lovehospital's topic in General Students

   At my school, we have to wear business attire to class. I'm talking slacks and everything. Of course, being a female, this means buying lots of new clothes to meet the criteria. It also means doing myself up (hair and makeup) every morning before ...

6. What kind of Nursing school drama in your school?

   ramona13 replied to NoeIssa's topic in General Students

   Funny thread. Most of the girls who were into drama and gossip failed out in the beginning. Now it is just us boring book nerds.

7. Hating Nursing School - Don't know what to do

   No offense, but blow it out your wahzoo.

8. Hating Nursing School - Don't know what to do

   ramona13 replied to nicolie1125's topic in General Students

   I dislike school and waking up at 4:30 in the morning to go to clinicals and not sleeping or having a life. I cry after almost every clinical rotation. Because I'm exhausted, I smell like feces, and I'm aggravated. Sound remotely familiar? Stay i...

9. help please

   ramona13 replied to toby4u's topic in General Students

   It seems that you are suffering from anxiety. It is good that you are expressing yourself because that will help you calm down. It is important that you talk to someone. Maybe a close friend or relative you trust. You seem like a bright person an...

10. Love Mental Health Nursing!

    ramona13 posted a topic in General Students

    At first I was wary of going to the psych floor for clinicals. I thought I was putting myself in a dangerous situation and felt like my school was punishing me. Boy was I wrong! I had a delightful time. I am completely enamored with all the patie...

11. I hate nursing

    ramona13 replied to prettylittlenurse2b's topic in General Students

    Bored? Why don't you take up knitting? There's no "crappy responsibility" in that.

12. Rant

    ramona13 replied to ramona13's topic in General Students

    And there is such a thing as reading too much into what someone writes on a post. Some folks use more descriptive language than others. It is, however, the misunderstandings and overanalysis that makes forums fun! I'm no opinion nazi. And I wish ...

13. Rant

    ramona13 replied to ramona13's topic in General Students

    It must be hard to be her classmate, being a recipient of that award and feeling someone's eyes on you because they feel they were entitled to it more than you. Yes all of the students fear and loathe me to the utmost. I am the hell child incarnate ...

14. Rant

    ramona13 replied to ramona13's topic in General Students

    Yea. I realize that I did a bit of ##$$%-in and whinin yesterday about it, but I was just a little peeved. Yea. Yesterday I would have liked to spit on the grant recipients and all. I'm over it. Don't have much time to dwell, anyway. Love you...

15. Rant

    ramona13 posted a topic in General Students

    So my accelerated nursing program has 41 students. Half of them were the recipients of a grant that paid their full tuition, which is about $13K, plus $600 spending money. They were selected "purely by chance," by "drawing names from a hat," not ba...
