  1. When they're SO sure they're right...

    That's because THEY don't clean it up. So to them, they don't. Am I
  2. When they're SO sure they're right...

    ok, smarty
  3. When they're SO sure they're right...

    Since you bring it up...I'm always wondering WHY OH WHY are some people willing to wear those god awful masks ALL flu season long just to not get a shot?! I never asked. Maybe someone can enlighten...
  4. Is it jealousy ??

    Every once in a while I DO learn something from these entertaining threads. I'm one of those naivetés who wouldn't think of someone writing their own thank you note. Thanks for the scoop!
  5. Devastated and Disappointed

    Hi there, Can you please elaborate on your post? I'm confused by it and I suspect it's due to "not knowing what I don't know". So much of what you're saying sounds like gobbly-gook but I WANT to...
  6. Is this considered bullying?

    Yikes! :/ It sounds like you already believe she's inadequate. It's MY belief that that is a recipe for one becoming too big for their britches. Also, I feel like reading a book to validate your...
  7. How did she/he get through nursing school?

    In the short time I've been in healthcare (4 years -CNA/ 1.5 yrs RN student) I've seen a TON of conflicting research. I'm very inquisitive, subscribe to the nursing journals, and have a few professors...
  8. ACLS for New Grad BSN RN

    I think it depends on what specialty you are planning on entering. In my case, my professors and future charge nurses have recommended it because I want to work in the ED. I, too live in a saturated...
  9. So you're an RN - you must be earning big!

    Sour Lemon, you are always so sensible. I just felt like saying that. I bet if I knew you in the real world, I'd like ya'.
  10. Help on getting into nursing school

    xxstarrynitesxx has given the best advice thus far. Baby chickens may or may not be from SoCal and may or may not have gone through a similar experience The next best advice, as previously mentioned,...
  11. It's that time- time for me to start choosing an RN-BSN program. There are some really great choices and a part of what is factoring into my decision is the reputation of the school. My area is very...
  12. Christian nursing schools' curriculum very religious, or no?

    Thank you all for the feedback. I will be attending an upcoming open house of sorts, but just wanted to get some thoughts. As many of you know, schools put their best foot
  13. Nurse week, scavenger hunt

    LOL!!!
  14. Nurse week, scavenger hunt

    Did they at least provide dental floss with hospital logo on it? Picking a piece of corn out of my teeth for the rest of my shift or worrying my pts can see any stragglers as I smile sounds like my...
  15. Seasoned Nurses VS Newbie Nurses

    On a more realistic note, I expect to be prepared about 5% for the real world of nursing when I graduate so there's that. Boots on the ground is always a huge eye
  16. Seasoned Nurses VS Newbie Nurses

    ... That was so rude. and the fact that 36 people liked your rude comment shows how this field is. OP was being earnest in their search for advice. They even mentioned respect for older nurses....
  17. Seasoned Nurses VS Newbie Nurses

    Well, thank goodness you're there to show all the experienced nurses what they're doing wrong. ... That was so rude. and the fact that 36 people liked your rude comment shows how this field is. OP was...
  18. Would you pray with a student?

    Please allow me to insert my completely objective and emotionless point of view: I'm assuming you're a school RN. In your statement you say it's illegal. If that's in fact true and you know that to be...
  19. What NP Specialty Should I Choose?

    I'm always surprised at the automatic FNP goal too. When someone says that I hear, "I have someone financially supporting me into eternity and they expect me, as soon as I'm off their dime, to make...
  20. No Respect.

    Although you didn't want an "astute analysis" of your "happiness in the ICU" it turned out to be the glaring issue as we've read your responses. It's either that or you could really take a look at...
  21. Lately, I find my myself so unsure of how to "be" in nursing school. I've learned that baby nurses don't know anything and that I'd better be humble. Now I'm constantly being told to "fake it 'til I...
  22. How much "faking" should a nursing student do?

    Thank you all, for such great feedback. I feel much more confident in how I have been conducting myself. I've also heard some great suggestions on how to ask questions when I'm unsure. For what it's...
  23. Guess I should have read all the way to the end. Oops. Sorry OP. Glad you got some answers. **walking away with my cat-tail between my
  24. I feel like this question is a joke. Really... a joke. Like someone else said, "even a non-nursing person could probably figure out the answer to the question". I can't take it seriously, which is why...
  25. Being rejected with a perfect score, is it normal?

    Waiting to get into nursing school was one of the most humbling times of my life! I quit my job, telling everybody I was "finally going to apply to RN schools" only to wait another year and a half to...
