1. It's Does No Good To Gripe About Nursing

   matcha-cat replied to EGspirit's topic in Relations

   You sure do seem to get defensive at peoples' "snarky-ness" for someone who is preaching to ignore it.

2. I'm TERRIFIED to start working again!

   matcha-cat posted a topic in Career Support

   I know this is probably going to come off as dramatic, and if that's the case, then I'll appreciate outside perceptions of the situation gratefully. I've worked for the same company since I was 16 years old. I worked for them for 4.5 years, and I eve...

3. With a MSN, why do I need a BSN?

   matcha-cat replied to INrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

   I think this topic has been mentioned a few times on here, and I think what most people were getting at was that if you get your MSN before working as an RN, employers will find you too overqualified to work as an RN, and they will also find you too ...

4. Is taking Human Anatomy at the same time as Chemistry a bad idea?

   matcha-cat replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Students

   Thanks for everyone's comments; I really appreciate them. :) Right now I'm leaning more towards taking the classes at separate times. I need to try and make an 'A' in all of my classes, I believe... I can start taking courses for the second semester ...

5. Is taking Human Anatomy at the same time as Chemistry a bad idea?

   matcha-cat replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Students

   I think trying to make As would be ideal since the nursing program is competitive. I'm not sure how competitive, and I can't seem to find any information on that when I search for it. There are only 6 pre-req classes (the school I'm at now has like 1...

6. Is taking Human Anatomy at the same time as Chemistry a bad idea?

   matcha-cat replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Students

   It's Foundations of Organic and Biochemistry... I've also heard of people finding Organic Chemistry to be very difficult, as well. *sigh*

7. Is taking Human Anatomy at the same time as Chemistry a bad idea?

   matcha-cat posted a topic in General Students

   Awhile back ago I asked if taking Chemistry and Biology at the same time was okay, and the general consensus was that it should be okay. I was going back through the school I'm interested in's page on requirements and it seems as though they changed ...

8. Struggling in basic Chem, unsure of my future in Nursing

   matcha-cat replied to Kellcat's topic in General Students

   I have pretty much the same problem as you. I've never really done well in school. I simply couldn't pay attention. I ALWAYS did bad in class because I could never stop day-dreaming. It wasn't until I got into high school (and decided I wanted to cha...

9. should I drop my nursing classes or stick it out??

   matcha-cat replied to FutureRNNU2019's topic in General Students

   Huh? You're a junior in nursing school? Then that means you must have a history of doing well in your classes if you were able to get into nursing school and make it up to this point, right? To suddenly drop your courses out of nowhere seems a little...

10. A new one for me

    matcha-cat replied to mrsfoster601's topic in School

    Out of curiosity, how does pineapple juice help with coughing?

11. Fired By My Patients

    matcha-cat replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

    I'm really sorry to hear that you're experiencing that. When I did my CNA clinicals, I sometimes was treated rudely (though most of the time, people were very kind). I had no choice but to ignore it- I was polite and had a good attitude, and if I nee...

12. Fired By My Patients

    matcha-cat replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

    Yessssss... I'm a very quiet person and I don't communicate in the same way other people do. I have very awkward social skills and I don't know how to make small talk. I generally overcompensate by smiling a lot, but I get called snobby or rude, even...

13. Navy Corpsmen Caught

    matcha-cat replied to guest52816's topic in Headlines

    I don't know if that depends on the hospital? The hospital that my husband is a corpsman at has them wearing their blue digital uniforms. Even the doctors will sometimes wear their military uniforms. The hospital that he got laser eye surgery at had ...

14. Navy Corpsmen Caught

    matcha-cat replied to guest52816's topic in Headlines

    My husband is in the Navy. This morning he had to go to work early for a meeting about how they are no longer allowed to carry their phones on them at work, so he has to keep his locked up in an office due to this event. EDIT: I should say the meetin...

15. This might be really mean but I have to say it...

    matcha-cat replied to Beeboop12's topic in CNA/MA

    Your thread title is "This is really mean, but I have to say it..." I'd say that people would be pretty interested in knowing what you were about to throw out. I don't understand what the purpose of your comment is?
