  1. Dismissal from nursing school without failing any course

    lorias replied to Beebee18's topic in General Students

    Stop playing the race card. To me it shows a lack of taking responsibility for your actions and blaming your failures on someone

  2. Am I being too hard on myself

    lorias posted a topic in General Students

    I am three weeks from completing an LPN program and up until a few days ago was really excited about completing it. The reason I've been so anxious and depressed the past few days is because at...

  3. Advise on what to do/whether this is normal

    lorias replied to IzzyJ's topic in General Students

    Not being able to write down the dosage problems is a bit extreme. We have lectures and powerpoints in our program but the summer session which I'm in now is 8 weeks and intense. I am an older...

  4. Am I being too hard on myself

    lorias replied to lorias's topic in General Students

  5. Am I being too hard on myself

    lorias replied to lorias's topic in General Students

    So I'm ok? I still deserve to be a nurse? I just feek si bad about it. Maybe because im feeling extra stressed right now because I'm doing a,semester of school in 8

  6. Instructor Issue

    lorias posted a topic in General Students

    Hello, I would like to know if anyone out there has ever had an instructor who was unusually rude in a clinical situation and how they handled it. I was doing a clinical and my instructor had told us...

  7. Sticky Sterile Gloves

    lorias posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello Everyone, I started nursing school three weeks ago and the second week one of the skills was to don sterile gloves. I failed the skill because I touched the unsterile part of one glove with the...

  8. Stubborn CNA in ICU

    lorias replied to AnnoyedNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Please do not call them diapers. I'm assuming that you don't have all infants in the ICU. Call them briefs or something else that would not be demeaning to an adult who has to use

  9. Needing help with a decision

    lorias replied to Shocktherapy's topic in Men in Nursing

    When I applied to my nursing program they told me to get my CNA license because it would help me to get used to dealing with patients. I would think that it would be beneficial in helping someone get...

  10. To Drop or Not to Drop....

    lorias replied to annabananaof8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good for you! Sickening how abortion would even be brought up as an option. If you already had a baby and it had special needs which conflicted with your nursing plans, would "Simplistic" have...

  11. Anxious

    lorias posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am starting a nursing program this August and am wondering if anyone has experienced doubts about whether they are up to the challenge of being a nurse. I am excited about starting the program, but...

  12. Can an introvert succeed as a nurse?

    lorias replied to lollipop032's topic in General Students

    I get a lot of inspiration from these posts because I'm going into nursing and I am an introvert, although I have learned to interact with people over the years and am not as shy as I used to be....

  13. What do I do if I don't get accepted?

    lorias replied to old_bean's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't worry about how old you'll be. You'll be that age no matter what you do. I'm 46 and will start the nursing program this

  14. Manager catch phrases

    lorias replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I can't stand the phrase "it takes a village" and another one that I'm sick of is "...going forward" and over used adjectives like "super" and "amazing". I also hate it when people say "oh my God" or...

  15. Nursing is not for you if you don't have a burning passion for it?

    lorias replied to .CJ.'s topic in General Students

    True, but I was comparing someone being "called" to nursing, teaching, etc vs. someone being called to Christian ministry. What God calls that person to do specifically once they become a priest or...

  16. Nursing is not for you if you don't have a burning passion for it?

    lorias replied to .CJ.'s topic in General Students

    I've had lots of people tell me that I'm too quiet, too serious, not enthusiastic and it's taken me years to feel confident in the type of person I am (introvert, which does not mean I dislike people...

  17. Nursing is not for you if you don't have a burning passion for it?

    lorias replied to .CJ.'s topic in General Students

    What makes nurses or teachers or doctors or any profession think that their profession is so special that you have to have a "calling" to be go into it. Personally, the only "professions" where one...

  18. 5 Weird Questions Patients Have Asked As An OB Nurse

    lorias replied to JanineKelbach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Some of the questions have nothing to do with lacking knowledge in a particular area of study, but rather show a lack of knowledge in basic, general knowledge. We should be careful about thinking we...

  19. NO MORE SNOW DAYS!!!

    lorias replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I live in North Dakota so can definitely relate to being sick to death of winter! But hang in there. The end is

  20. Recently fired during orientation...help

    lorias replied to Nursemag's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sounds fishy to me and seems like you got a raw deal! Of course we're only hearing your side of the story (I'm not saying you aren't telling the truth). Could be a case of not what you know but who...

  21. Mom, FT Night Shift With Nursing School?

    lorias replied to Soon2b1Nurse's topic in General Students

    I am currently working nights as a CNA, but when I start the nursing program this fall I will be going to evening hours since my classes will be during the day. I can't afford to work less than 32...

  22. Failed NCLEX 11 times.

    lorias replied to Mtng's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Maybe give yourself two more times and if you don't pass it then perhaps cut your losses. There's no shame in doing something else for a while and trying the nursing thing later. Maybe it's not the...

  23. Failed NCLEX 11 times.

    lorias replied to Mtng's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You must be fairly intelligent if you 1) got into nursing school, 2) got through nursing school to the point where you are taking the NCLEX and 3) I'm assuming that your grades during school and your...

  24. Only taking nursing classes first semester in nursing school

    lorias posted a topic in General Students

    I am starting the nursing program this fall and will have already taken the basic classes like A&P, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Composition, etc. and will be taking three bonafide nursing classes...
