1. Getting kicked out because of panic attack

   opalbee replied to Embrisi's topic in General Students

   Same. If I got kicked out of nursing school for a single panic attack after putting in a year and a half of work into the program, I'd be pissed. I would definitely try to figure out a way to petition it. Unfortunately I'm not able to lend you any ad...

2. Hospital cancelled my contract due to inexperience...

   opalbee replied to BeccaroseRN's topic in Travel

   Geez... The amount of constant bickering on this website..

3. Older Student, Unprofessional Nurse During Clinical

   opalbee replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in General Students

   No; the current "most popular" thread is at 136.

4. Glasses for working

   opalbee replied to opalbee's topic in General Nursing

   Oh yeah, I actually saw that on Amazon! I ended up getting these little grip-things for the arms of my glasses, though. I just slide them right on, and, miraculously, my glasses have stayed perfectly on my face!

5. Glasses for working

   opalbee replied to opalbee's topic in General Nursing

   That's probably one of the coolest stories I've ever heard, because 1) A crazy woman ripped off your glasses in a fit of rage. Would I ever want that happen to me? Of course not, that sounds terrifying, but it certainly makes for a good story, huh? ...

6. Finally took Teas!, but...

   opalbee replied to misspy's topic in TEAS

   You should find out more about your TEAS score from an advisor at your school. Some nursing schools have a minimum score (in my experience, it's usually around 65-70%) and then they have the average score of those who get in. In order to be competiti...

7. Older Student, Unprofessional Nurse During Clinical

   opalbee replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in General Students

   People say this all the time on this website, like it's actually a good point. People give responses that sometimes sound harsh, and I don't think there's necessarily a problem with that (especially if you're asking for opinions), but when someone tr...

8. Weird time-clock rules at work

   opalbee replied to opalbee's topic in General Nursing

   Okay, thanks for all of your comments. I'd never seen or heard of clocking in in such a complicated manner, so it had me confused.

9. Weird time-clock rules at work

   opalbee replied to opalbee's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you for your response; I just don't understand WHY they would round either up or down, rather than clock us in or out at the actual time.

10. Weird time-clock rules at work

    opalbee posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello, all~ At my current job, I was told that I have to clock-in "7 minutes early" before my shift in order to clock-in "on time". If my shift starts at 10:30, I have to clock-in at 10:23. If I clock in at 10:24, then, although the time-clock shows ...

11. Nursing nightmares.

    opalbee replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    I had a dream that I got kicked out of nursing school just last night for having pot on me (not that I'm in nursing school yet, but still). I had a bag of it on me, mixed with cheerios for "the munchies," and then I stuffed it in a container of Fruct...

12. Help! Should I quit my job?

    opalbee replied to opalbee's topic in General Students

    Thank you for your input! Yeah... When I was being interviewed, the woman was telling me how great this schedule would work with my schooling and we talked about how great it would be that I'd only have to miss every other Friday. She didn't tell me ...

13. Help! Should I quit my job?

    opalbee posted a topic in General Students

    Okay, before I go any further, I just want to say that I know this is going to be my choice in the end, but I would like to hear some different perspectives on this. I recently got my first CNA job, which I thought would work fantastic with my schoo...

14. Moving to California...

    opalbee replied to futureRN_22's topic in California

    I lived in Washington State for a little while, and really enjoyed the west coast while I was there. I'm wondering if maybe I'd like living in Hawaii, though? Now THAT would be a perfect climate for me, though my husband doesn't care for the tropics,...

15. Moving to California...

    opalbee replied to futureRN_22's topic in California

    Yeah, no kidding. My husband and I moved to Minnesota back in October. The snow can be pretty, but I'm sick of having to worry about digging out my car and being afraid that I'll have to wake up several hours in advance for work to do that, and what...
