  1. Anyone else wearing old scrubs whilst shopping/running errands?

    Ruixi13 replied to NewRN'16's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with a few posters above that I would not wear any scrubs out in public for fear of being seen as dirty even if they are a fresh clean pair. Only exception I make usually is filling my gas on...

  4. Legalized Recreational Marijuana - What Will You See in the ED?

    Ruixi13 replied to traumaRUs's topic in Emergency

    It's naive to think legalization will lead to any more cases of these not common cases. They have surely been common in ED's since MJ use has been common for

  8. Mandatory Uniforms

    Ruixi13 replied to StudentRNmt's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have less issue with the colors than I do being given cheap material scrubs... feels like death against the skin and usually sizing is

  9. Scheduled to take the NCLEX today but denied because of inappropriate identification???

    Ruixi13 replied to wonderbrah's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used to work for an airline, and we would just make people sign their passports at the airport if they had not signed it yet beforehand. There is no rule that someone has to witness the signature...

  10. is Nursing School HARDER than Medical School?

    Ruixi13 replied to sunny d's topic in General Students

    It's hard in the respect that we learn our whole profession in 2 years and go straight into practice whereas medical school they finish 4 years of study and still have years more of training as a...

  11. Why would a nurse push IV potassium?

    Ruixi13 replied to Nsco2018's topic in General Nursing

    OMG that's some messed up ****... I couldn't even imagine being the nurse who receives mislabeled syringes like that and administering it..

  12. Double Major with Nursing / Nursing with Spanish Minor?

    Ruixi13 replied to Carlos03558's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely no chance for a raise.. but it might make you more appealing and sound more interesting/more likely to get an interview. Perhaps certain urban centers with large immigrant populations...

  13. Prerequisites

    Ruixi13 replied to cieraburns's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took as A&P I and II, and I can't imagine having taken anatomy and physiology separately. Physiology would be fine, but anatomy alone would be sooooo boring! I'd be like "now what do this...

  14. The overwhelming stress of nursing school

    Ruixi13 replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Students

    Just like we need to learn how to triage patients you need to learn how to triage your life. I'm half-way done with my 2 year nursing program and it can be busy and stressful, but I don't think it...

  15. General Ed class grades!!

    Ruixi13 replied to nursinglover123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't stress it, I think overall GPA is a little bit important only, pre-req classes are immensely more important! Since you have all A's you sound

  16. What undergrad bsn nursing should I go to? Does school rank matter?

    Ruixi13 replied to Azhe5298's topic in General Students

    In what way is NYU or Emory better than Stony Brook? I'm not on here to bash those 2 schools, but being a public university doesn't make SBU any worse. Just going off NCLEX pass rates last year SBU...

  17. Can I work three 12hours shifts while going to school for BSN

    Ruixi13 replied to Treeanaxo's topic in General Students

    Seems a bit much, but 1-2 12 hr shifts a week sounds totally doable. But if you're a superman/woman I recommend you listen to your

  18. Traditional Nursing bachelor degree

    Ruixi13 replied to Autumnfall's topic in General Students

    If you want affordable I'd say SUNY Stony Brook or SUNY Donwstate. CUNY colleges Hunter, Lehman, York, etc also have programs you can check

  19. Why are nurses the only profession that cannot accept gifts?

    Ruixi13 replied to RockinNurse2018's topic in General Nursing

    Why not accept the card??? I think when we are told not to accept gifts it really means gifts (of monetary value). If someone gives you a card, or some home baked cookies... I personally don't put...

  20. Are student loans worth it???

    Ruixi13 replied to Wildflowerlover's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depending where you live, many states have fabulous 4 year public universities. Why only consider CC's and private 4 year colleges? But to answer your question, the college experience is definitely...

  21. how to go about asking a teacher to reconsider a grade

    Ruixi13 replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    That's the best advice I think. All (good) teachers SHOULD be using a rubric. It would help you for the future to see it and see how their grading is calculated. Grades shouldn't be just...

  22. Are B's good grades in nursing school?

    Ruixi13 replied to ananana123's topic in General Students

    Really only matters if you ever want to go back for a further degree... Do you plan on it? If so I'd aim for minimum 3.0 GPA, or even better at least a 3.3 or so. I've seen some programs even require...

  23. Why is nursing school so strict?

    Ruixi13 replied to lifeisgood00's topic in General Students

    You are being trained in a profession and are expected to act like it from the get go. You need to be professional in any profession TBH, not restricted to nursing. Academics being challenging at...

  24. Which of following patients is at highest risk for fluid overload?

    Ruixi13 replied to disenchanted1's topic in General Students

    Renal insufficiency really should give it away.. and HTN definitely would compound that. Diabetes also causes fluid

  25. Parents will kick me out if I don't drop my nursing dreams...

    Ruixi13 replied to Guest1031502's topic in General Students

    That really sucks. Do you have any other adult family members or family friends who are able to advocate for you? Maybe they would be more responsive listening to the benefits of a nursing career...
