1. Patient complaint to charge: pt refused test but states that it was done?

   kissmypineapple replied to newnurse2014's topic in General Nursing

   A provider has to sign off on the AMA papers, which is probably what OP was referring to by "agreeing" to the AMA.

2. Fired Due to Not Being Able to Get to Work

   kissmypineapple replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

   I would never ever walk 15 miles at night in the snow to get to my job. That's well beyond what is reasonable to expect.

3. What's your Myers-Briggs personality type?

   kissmypineapple replied to bekahinpink's topic in General Nursing

   I am also INFJ, and if I remember correctly, INFJ's are very justice oriented. I worked for years as a domestic violence victim advocate, and now am a nursing student. I, too, joke with my friends about why I keep picking fields where I have to talk ...

4. IUPUI ABSN 2014

   kissmypineapple replied to KelsieIN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Haha, agreed. I finally did go to Scrubs and Beyond, and they're waiting to get them back from wherever they send them to be embroidered. I also don't get notifications when more is added to this thread, and I keep forgetting to check it. It's almost...

5. Nursing and the Ebola Virus

   kissmypineapple replied to 0.adamantite's topic in COVID

   I am unable to bear children, and I take great offense to the idea that my life is therefore less valuable.

6. IUPUI ABSN 2014

   kissmypineapple replied to KelsieIN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I bought my scrub bottoms, but they were out of my size for tops. They said they'd call me when they got them in, but that was almost a month ago, so I may just go to Scrubs & Beyond. I feel like I've waited so long to get started, taking prereqs...

7. IUPUI ABSN 2014

   kissmypineapple replied to KelsieIN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I was accepted! I'm so excited to get started. I have a good friend already in the program who started this past Spring, too, and she's been an amazing resource for information. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

8. How to study????

   kissmypineapple replied to carys's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took notes, made flashcards, used Quizlet, Studyblue, Khan Academy, YouTube, and iTunes U to listen to lectures in the car. I drew A LOT. In my last prereq, the professor made us draw everything, and I can't tell you how helpful that was. Mnemonics...

9. how do you apply for prerequisites?

   kissmypineapple replied to ichtus2014's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I did my prereqs for IUPUI's accelerated BSN at Ivy Tech; I didn't have to do the accuplacer, b/c I already had a master's, but once I met with an advisor who waived the accuplacer, I was immediately able to register for classes. You may still be abl...

10. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY STUDY a&

    kissmypineapple replied to Motherof_1's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I don't have kids, but was working more than 40 hours per week, plus 24 hour crisis line coverage for a full week every four weeks, so I hear you on having to squeeze studying in wherever you can. I found Khan Academy videos to be very, very helpful....

11. how in the world does one pay for nursing school!

    kissmypineapple replied to hoosiertwin's topic in General Students

    Hey there! Sorry, I didn't see this until today. She did like Marian, overall. There were some things that she didn't like, and parts of the program she felt did not prepare her as well as she'd like, but she's graduating in a few weeks, so all in al...

12. how in the world does one pay for nursing school!

    kissmypineapple replied to hoosiertwin's topic in General Students

    I'm confused about this. I am (hopefully) starting an accelerated program this fall; it is 5 semesters. Five semesters to a BSN is accelerated, isn't it? When people talk about a traditional track, they are talking about 4 years. I also disagree with...

13. Number One Pet Peeve in Nursing School: Future "Paycheck Nurses"

    kissmypineapple replied to joshmiller2010's topic in General Students

    It has never been my "dream" to be a nurse. I did my undergrad in Theatre, and in my senior year, discovered I loved social protest theatre and the way theatre can be used as a tool to reach out and give a voice to people who don't have one. So I aba...

14. 2014 Applicants

    kissmypineapple replied to emergenceRN17's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm in Indianapolis, and I'm working on my application to the accelerated BSN program at IUPUI. The app is due March 15, but I won't hear back until June. Keeping my fingers crossed!

15. A&P Instructor Accused Me of Plagiarism

    kissmypineapple replied to kissmypineapple's topic in Pre-Nursing

    To be clear, in case it wasn't, I did not copy my answers from anywhere. I do my own work. Anyway, I did call the chair of the department and left a message requesting a meeting. After a few more emails with my professor in which I was increasingly a...
