  1. I couldn't believe what I was hearing!

    I think I'd want to answer in a way that made it obvious to the speaker what a donkey's rear end he was. I'd follow this up with, "Our mission is to treat all patients with respect and our finest efforts...."
  2. Are you/have you self-diagnosed while in school?

    OH you are so not alone! All of the students in my class laughed about this. I think every one of us thought we had something we were studying. And yes we all laughed with/at each other and ourselves. I think its a way to connect with what we're read...
  3. glendale community college nursing program

    I'm 43 yrs old, and I'm a single mom. If I can do this, anyone can! Don't get bogged down with all the reading, go off of the powerpoints and then make sure you can answer the NCLEX questions that are applicable. The hardest thing for me was getting ...
  4. glendale community college nursing program

    The students I know that had to work late on Thursday stayed up quite late to get their care plans done. I know there were a few all-nighters. Keep in mind though that clinicals aren't held during the entire semester. I'm in third block right now and...
  5. Regarding Endometriosis & going into Nursing

    I have a similar condition and I was worried about whether or not I'd have excessive absences. Add to that a daughter who has asthma and gets every cold virus known to medical science. Im more than halfway through getting my ADN. I think the schools ...
  6. Ed new grads..............this is for you!!!!!!!!!

    YOU ROCK! Thx for the encouragement!
  7. I understand you not wanting him to be sorry he confided in you but IMO you need to push this issue. You are a hero, as sure as if you'd given him CPR! I can't believe there are still school officials who don't take bullying seriously enough. My hear...
  8. Medically disqualified

    ....sometimes its who you know. I managed to get into the Navy Reserve with a history of adult asthma! And I wasn't going in as a medical professional, but an enlisted person in logistics. Be persistant, and ask if there are any medical tests they wi...
  9. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    I just want to say, I'm so impressed by all the posts. I get so frustrated when I'm confronted with an attitude(by people who should know better) that antidepressants are some kind of crutch. I struggled with post-partum depression and once I started...
  10. MCCCD glendale community college

    Im in the 3rd block weekend now and I highly recommend the 104 review class. As someone else said, it wasn't essential for the 1st block, but as things got a lot more challenging in 2nd block it was very helpful.
  11. Aren't you going to tell us what the motto is??? Sorry, couldn't resist, I feel your pain.
  12. Help! In Need of Encouragement

    Obviously you have a lot on your plate. I would encourage you to retain your independance. Nursing is a good way to be able to support your children. Nursing school is the most stressful thing I've done in my life (and its not over for me yet). You'r...
  13. I could use some emotional support!

    I dont think you could find anyone that DIDNT have doubts in nursing school. Hang in there, you'll be glad you did. I'm halfway through an ADN program and have perfected my dialog for my self-peptalk. Hang in there.
  14. My Mom just passed.....

    I'm so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. Its okay (especially under the circumstances) to have mixed feelings. Try to set aside some time with a close friend or mentor to talk. I don't think anyone thinks you're heartless, you have done what you n...
