  1. Need real world guidance - Refusing treatment and discharge (ethics paper)

    bitter_betsy replied to bitter_betsy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    @Music in My Heart Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed to know. I wonder what would happen if I called my insurance company to ask?? I'd probably have a giant black mark on my record...

  2. CMA playing "Nurse Manager?" CMA boundaries? NPD?

    bitter_betsy replied to RenaissanceNurse's topic in General Nursing

    If you are offered the position, I think you should ask for a couple shifts to make a determination. Explain your confusion over who will be administratively and clinically managing you and that you...

  3. Not connecting or feeling good about nursing program

    bitter_betsy replied to Ngav1206's topic in General Students

    I honestly do not mean this in an offensive or negative way... is there anyone in your program similar in age to you? As others have said, you aren't there to make friends, but it does help to have...

    bitter_betsy replied to nursekk21's topic in School, College Programs

    @Lauren very rarely will your wear your lab coat separate from your white uniform. The stethoscope ceremony is an instance when you will wear your lab coat with professional dress. I keep my lab...

    @drakesghostwriter I would wait until Tuesday and find out if PrepU is required. I know that it can be torture to wait, but it may save you $$. They were deciding if Prep U was going to be mandatory...

  8. dizziness?

    bitter_betsy replied to nursex23's topic in School

    The flip side is... are these kids coming from the same place? Is there a weird chemical wafting into the room from the roof or somewhere else that only affects the kids with the sensitive nose that...

    bitter_betsy replied to nursekk21's topic in School, College Programs

    @emilylooney @Drakesghostwriter So.... bad news. Someone and their hot pink thongs ruined it for everyone. You DO have to buy from that particular company. I asked if we were able to sell our...

    bitter_betsy replied to nursekk21's topic in School, College Programs

    Scheduling: figuring out what was going on, where I needed to be and what needed to be done by when. It can be a little overwhelming. While it looks like you have 4 classes - you really have more....

  12. MUSC Spring 2020 ABSN

    bitter_betsy replied to nursekk21's topic in School, College Programs

    So no one starts in the summer semester - that leaves a gap. Fourth semester students started in January 2019 and 2nd semester students started in August 2019. Financial aid - no clue. I feel like...

    bitter_betsy replied to nursekk21's topic in School, College Programs

    It is actually on the website - this is new. It isn't in the student handbook though (student handbook still says white - but was last updated 9/24/19). I will still ask on Monday . The scrubs on...

  15. MUSC Spring 2020 ABSN

    bitter_betsy replied to nursekk21's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm so sorry - I thought I replied to this earlier. I did not order from Meridys - they weren't a suggestion during my first semester. When my scrubs arrived, I took them to the school to embroider....

    bitter_betsy replied to nursekk21's topic in School, College Programs

    We werent required. We could purchase from anywhere. I wont be on campus again until Monday to confirm for

  17. CONCERNED & Nervous about how RUSHED program is

    bitter_betsy replied to DaniVntoBsn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    So I'm in a very fast BSN program. I too feel that I need more clinical time. I get plenty of "book" time for sure, but I feel like that is where the difference is. I don't have enough personal...

  18. Confused and Depressed about Performance

    bitter_betsy replied to drinndalynn's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe this is just how she is? Maybe she is trying to provide useful advice and it just comes off all wrong? I have worked on a project with a person for 3 months and to this day do not understand...

  19. I walked out of a job fair after being Reminded why I left the southeast

    bitter_betsy replied to Tony1790's topic in Advanced Practice

    Atlanta is the problem - maybe Georgia in general. I currently work in Savannah in another profession while I'm in school and I've already determined that I will not work in healthcare in Georgia....

    bitter_betsy replied to nursekk21's topic in School, College Programs

    For most things you may use an apple watch. Many of us have them. There may be a few clinical instances where you need to be bare below the elbow. You will need to be able to make your watch stay...

    bitter_betsy replied to nursekk21's topic in School, College Programs

    Any white is fine. The tops need to be embroidered and they can take a little time to do so but you can drop them off on campus (at least I could). You wont need them right away but the sooner you...

  22. Exciting possibility...

    bitter_betsy replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    As a nursing student - nursing students probably won't work for you - but... you could sign up to be a clinical site for Community courses. This would get you at least 1 nursing student for free each...

  23. How soon did you move out after graduating (BSN)?

    bitter_betsy replied to Ryohei Tomoyuki's topic in General Nursing

    FYI - its easier to GET the mortgage while your loans are being deferred BUT that doesn't mean you can afford what you qualify for either. My plan is to get a job, figure out where I want to be, get...

  24. Beginning to question if nursing is for me

    bitter_betsy replied to liathA's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You are so close to graduation - no point in quitting now. You can do so much with your RN - you don't have to work in a hospital. Clinical can be difficult if you don't quite click with your...

  25. MUSC Spring 2020 ABSN

    bitter_betsy replied to nursekk21's topic in School, College Programs

    For us it didn't matter - the handbook said all white. As long as they are literally all white - they are good. Whatever you get, make sure that you at least partially break them in before your...
