  1. pre-nursing student but feel like i'm not doing enough...

    opalbee replied to prenursingstud's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Going off of this a bit... Some schools (like the one I'm at) only look at two things when you apply to nursing school- your GPA, and your TEAS exam; unfortunately (or fortunately, for some) they...

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

    opalbee replied to Guest1031502's topic in General Students

    It seems like you aren't going to let your parents intimidate you into going into a career that you don't want, and if that's the case, I'm really happy for you. It's an absolute shame that they...

  3. Does your motivation ever waver?

    opalbee posted a topic in General Students

    I've been in school for about 5 weeks now, I think, working on pre-requisites for my nursing program. For the first time in my higher education, I am making all As, after putting in hours of work and...

  4. Does your motivation ever waver?

    opalbee replied to opalbee's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the responses, everyone~ It might be that I need to just allow myself to have some "free time" a little bit everyday to help me keep motivated. I've always relished any free time I have,...

  5. Why your avatar?

    opalbee replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in School

    Aw, sweet, I love i!!! EDIT: but seriously, you can see how pastel-themed avatars look much more appropriate than Dr. Evil,

  6. Why your avatar?

    opalbee replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in School

    Haha, I think the main thing holding me back is that a picture of Dr Evil doesn't really seem appropriate for a person with the username "opal

  7. Why your avatar?

    opalbee replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in School

    I was thinking about changing it to this

  8. All about the BSN

    opalbee replied to opalbee's topic in General Students

    I'm glad to hear your mother was able to take her classes online; that's a huge relief. I'll probably still have to confirm with my school, but if I'm able to take their courses online then I won't...

  9. All about the BSN

    opalbee posted a topic in General Students

    Hi, guys. I'm currently working on my pre-requisites for nursing school, though I don't know how soon I will be able to get in. I'm part of a system of schools that will dual-enroll you to a main...

  10. Having so much fun!

    opalbee replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in General Students

    I'm so happy for you! I don't mean to sound weird, but while I was still lurking around on this website, I became familiar with you and was excited when you started nursing school. I'm really glad to...

  11. What is the afterlife like?

    opalbee replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Okay lol this is gonna be good Here's a plot twist, how do you know that SIP wants to simply "lead a material existence" for sure? And how do you know that you are "one of the people" who will pass...

  12. What is the afterlife like?

    opalbee replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I would be proud to be his twin, so I'll take that as a

  13. What is the afterlife like?

    opalbee replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Actually someone already answered that for you so let me just re-post it: Quote from: Mr_Edwino, CNA "I was not using inductive reasoning to come to my conclusion. It's a fact that if you connect a...

  15. What is the afterlife like?

    opalbee replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I sound ignorant? You completely ignored my scientifically-based reasonings for consciousness (that there are different levels of consciousness within the animal kingdom, that people lose...

  16. Bored, Trying to figure out what to do.

    opalbee replied to deej394's topic in General Nursing

    I completely disagree with the notion that you can never be happy with the job you're doing to earn a living. I've seen people who put their whole hearts into their career and are proud and excited of...

  17. What is the afterlife like?

    opalbee replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I don't believe in an afterlife. I don't see how anything about me could "pass on" when my consciousness is a product of physiology and psychology. There are varying degrees of consciousness within...

  18. Nursing craziness

    opalbee replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

  19. Nursing Instructor Anger Management

    opalbee replied to sarahky79's topic in General Students

    She didn't throw her phone to her, she threw it at her. Do you think that it wasn't "assault" because it didn't hurt OP? She stated that it could have hurt her if she had not caught it. What if we...

  20. Relationship problems

    opalbee replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    Right? I completely support my husband going out and spending the night with his friends because I want him to have fun and blow steam... Also, why would I tell him he's not allowed? But I can't help...

  21. Should I write a memoir?

    opalbee replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    If you have interesting stories to tell, that could be really cool. I personally love reading nursing stories or memoirs- like the Chicken Soup for the Nurse's Soul series, or "I Wasn't Strong Like...

  22. Resume Summary Help

    opalbee posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello, everyone~ I'm writing my resume for my first healthcare job (as a nurse's aide). On sample CNA resumes, I saw people putting "summaries" and I thought it looked like a great way to give a...

  23. Resume Summary Help

    opalbee replied to opalbee's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the responses everyone. I had gotten two job offers- one of them being in a transitionary care unit where I would have the potential to learn some really cool stuff, but I was afraid of it...

  24. Beyond Bedside? Advanced Practice? Really?

    opalbee replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    This was perfect. We all have different strengths and weaknesses, so why are nurses getting attacked for finding something within the field that works better with their personality? For instance, I'm...

  25. Nursing Instructor Anger Management

    opalbee replied to sarahky79's topic in General Students

    You weren't there, either. I'm calling it an "attack" because OP said it could have hurt her had she not caught it, and because there were multiple other students who witnessed it who apparently came...
