About tbjockny

what can I possibly say...I'm an indecisive person. I can barely order from a restaurant menu because of it. I'm a compromiser. Think way too much for my own good. 21 was the turning point of "grow up, self-reflect, and change the bad" in my personality & relationships in general. Grew up in a strict Portuguese household..then moved in with my crazy French-born & raised mother. I have a ridiculous fascination with other cultures & find the more I learn the more I dislike my own country (bad American?) I'm also animal obsessed. I wanted to become a vet when I was younger up until I released I'd probably have a heart attack from sheer hysterical sadness everytime I had to put an animal down. I settle for shadowing the track vets when I have a chance.

    It is entirely possible for me to sit down and eat half a bag of reeses peanut butter cups by my lonesome. Also known as "stress eating" I CAN rock 2 exams the day before 12 hr clinical...and still rock it in clinical. Although I'm willing to jump in...

  8. Nursing Schools are so stupid...

    Putting your obvious anger at being rejected, look at the hard facts. Grade inflation has made it necessary to weed out those who truly KNOW the basics in more of a way than memorizing it in chunks to get through the test only to forget it later on. ...

  11. The Patient Who Receives No Visits

    I know the feeling..I was once in the hospital for over a week, with family that I regularly talked to, who couldn't be bothered to drive the 20 min to the hospital to see how I was. You know it's a sad state when the only people to come see you are...
  12. Tattoos/Piercings in the workplace?

    I'm curious as to why some people seem to think individuals with tattoos/piercings go against the rules? It just seems like a stereotype to me, honestly. I know many people with tattoos who follow the "rules". I also know of a woman who is 58 years o...

  14. studying nursing if US citizen married to british citizen?

    I didn't know that tidbit; UK doesn't require a test like NCLEX? I guess they make up for it with so many clinical hours though. I would prefer to go on for my BSN; and from what I've noticed as far as researching jobs most are requiring or prefer a ...
