  1. Why is A&P so hard?

    matcha-cat posted a topic in General Students

    Hi, just wondering why people say Human Anatomy and Physiology is so hard. What about it makes it so difficult compared to biology or psychology? Just trying to prepare myself for when I take the...

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

    matcha-cat replied to EGspirit's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

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

  3. I'm TERRIFIED to start working again!

    matcha-cat posted a topic in Nursing Career

    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...

  4. 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...

  5. 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...

  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

    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...

  7. 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...

  8. 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.

  9. 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...

  10. 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...

  11. A new one for me

    matcha-cat replied to mrsfoster601's topic in School

    Out of curiosity, how does pineapple juice help with

  12. Fired By My Patients

    matcha-cat replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    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-...

  13. Fired By My Patients

    matcha-cat replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    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...

  14. Navy Corpsmen Caught

    matcha-cat replied to guest52816's topic in Nursing News

    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....

  15. Navy Corpsmen Caught

    matcha-cat replied to guest52816's topic in Nursing News

    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...

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

    matcha-cat replied to Beeboop12's topic in Medical Assistant, 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...

  17. I'm having doubts about nursing... :(

    matcha-cat replied to Texasstudent0's topic in General Students

    There were people on here who were rude before she began throwing attacks back. I know nursing isn't sheltered, but I do feel like sometimes people's remarks or tones can be unnecessary. And I'm not...

  18. I'm having doubts about nursing... :(

    matcha-cat replied to Texasstudent0's topic in General Students

    I totally see where people are coming from in feeling insulted by the "menial tasks" that OP complained about, I just also thought it would be taken with a "grain of salt" by responders. I guess that...

  19. I'm having doubts about nursing... :(

    matcha-cat replied to Texasstudent0's topic in General Students

    I've noticed that a lot, as well. It's silly. But, on the other hand (and I'm just bringing this up because of the discussion that's been going on) I do see other users on here quick to tell people...

  20. I'm having doubts about nursing... :(

    matcha-cat replied to Texasstudent0's topic in General Students

    We do, yes, but the point is is that people generally come to this website to seek advice or at least understanding, and I believe that's the why forum exists, yes? So mocking comments (to me, at...

  21. I'm having doubts about nursing... :(

    matcha-cat replied to Texasstudent0's topic in General Students

    Yeah, that's true, but there are posts that are clearly meant to be spiteful or mocking, and at times, when the recipient hadn't come to argue but instead to discuss an issue or vent, like in this...

  22. I'm having doubts about nursing... :(

    matcha-cat replied to Texasstudent0's topic in General Students

    This quote is the one that stuck out to me: "To me, it just sounds like a bunch of petty, dramatic whining followed by fake 'outrage' at being misunderstood." I just think it was an over-the-top and...

  23. I'm having doubts about nursing... :(

    matcha-cat replied to Texasstudent0's topic in General Students

    I think your first comment was helpful, as well, but it was not your comment I was strictly referring to. OP instantly got attacked for venting. She's a student, for crying out loud. I've done things...

  24. I'm having doubts about nursing... :(

    matcha-cat replied to Texasstudent0's topic in General Students

    D*mn. People on this forum are harsh. Who cares if it's whiney? It's okay to be whiney at times. She already acknowledged that it was just her first day, and she was just venting. Because everybody...

  25. Health Care is Not a Right

    matcha-cat replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What about people who work full-time jobs that are necessary but are still making minimum wage, while also taking care of a family? All of the people that make a big-time company run, but still get...
