1. nursing career is looking grim!!!!!!!!!!!

   ADNRN replied to lildebbie-RN's topic in General Nursing

   Have you taken the NCLEX yet? You said you graduated on the 12th of December. Maybe you could concentrate on that. I can imagine this is really disappointing for you, but however slowly it passes, the time will pass. You're going to be able to be a n...

2. Post-Mortem Care

   ADNRN replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

   The dead body no longer requires respect, except out of respect for the family, who are living. Only the living require respect. I've seen nurses all in tears over a dead body that they wouldn't spend ten minutes with while the person was in this wo...

3. Oh boy should I do this?

   ADNRN replied to koan's topic in General Nursing

   If you feel like you could make a difference, if that's really your reason for being a nurse, then don't worry about what you read in here. Most nurses I know are happy with their job. I couldn't imagine doing anything else. It consumes me. But I ne...

4. A good first step...

   ADNRN replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

   Good luck to you. I did the same thing. I worked at a nursing home during AP 1&2 and micro and then on Saturdays during level 1. I didn't work during level 2, but I did an externship during the summer between 2 and 3 in the PACU of our county hos...

5. I Hate Nursing School

   ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

   Did I not just say a few posts up that we need to drop the ADN BSN garbage? Oh, but why would reality stand in the way of you wagging a finger at me? After all, taking the opportunity to wag a finger at someone feels so much better than self control ...

6. I Hate Nursing School

   ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

   I hear you. Why don't they focus on nursing? Most of the people in our class have never done, in real life, any of the tasks we checked off on.

7. I Hate Nursing School

   ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

   Not that I would correct you on how I feel, but I pretty much hate nursing school. As I said, I love nursing, and I want to learn the remaining subjects that we are being taught. But I'm sick of the instructors, and I'm sick of the poorly managed cir...

   Yes ma'am. I'm counting them with you. Thanks for the encouragement.

10. I Hate Nursing School

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've noticed that about advocates for the BSN. They always give the diploma people a pass. Evidently, the conflict between BSN and ADN has nothing to do with one's ability to be a nurse. The conflict must be about something else. Could it be as simpl...

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nice. By the way, I've always known that quitting was an option. But thanks for the priceless advice, anyway. I'll make sure to pass it along to the remaining members of my class.

12. I Hate Nursing School

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    A big WHATEVER to you. I'm glad to see that you've tried so hard to stay away from my posts and yet, bing!. Here you are. I am so sick of this. I exist; therefore I'm a troublemaker. Is it really me that makes your world so hard to live in?

13. I Hate Nursing School

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know. I don't know if one needs the other college coursework to be a good nurse or not. Personally, I don't think so. Nursing school is nursing school. But your experience of it and mine are 180 degrees out. So maybe a diploma program over 3 ...

14. Business Cards?

    ADNRN replied to earthling's topic in General Nursing

    RNs on the floor may not need business cards, but I will have some made up just for the times I am out and want to exchange email addresses with someone, or whatever. Or if I write articles or send out queries I may want to attach a business card. Th...

15. I Hate Nursing School

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's interesting to see that a lot of people feel the same way I do. I read a book once called "Intensive Care" by Echo Heron. She went to nursing school in the early 70s and her description sounds exactly like my experience. I suppose it's just the ...
