Same. If I got kicked out of nursing school for a single panic attack after putting in a year and a half of work into the program, I'd be pissed. I would definitely try to figure out a way to petition it. Unfortunately I'm not able to lend you any ad...

Geez... The amount of constant bickering on this website..

No; the current "most popular" thread is at 136.

Oh yeah, I actually saw that on Amazon! I ended up getting these little grip-things for the arms of my glasses, though. I just slide them right on, and, miraculously, my glasses have stayed perfectly on my face!

Sorry if this seems like a really petty concern, but since my glasses were recently run over by a car, I'm looking for a new pair and want to make sure I get one that will be functional and last awhile. There were some glasses that I liked that were...

That's probably one of the coolest stories I've ever heard, because 1) A crazy woman ripped off your glasses in a fit of rage. Would I ever want that happen to me? Of course not, that sounds terrifying, but it certainly makes for a good story, huh? ...

You should find out more about your TEAS score from an advisor at your school. Some nursing schools have a minimum score (in my experience, it's usually around 65-70%) and then they have the average score of those who get in. In order to be competiti...

People say this all the time on this website, like it's actually a good point. People give responses that sometimes sound harsh, and I don't think there's necessarily a problem with that (especially if you're asking for opinions), but when someone tr...

Hello, all~ At my current job, I was told that I have to clock-in "7 minutes early" before my shift in order to clock-in "on time". If my shift starts at 10:30, I have to clock-in at 10:23. If I clock in at 10:24, then, although the time-clock shows ...

Okay, thanks for all of your comments. I'd never seen or heard of clocking in in such a complicated manner, so it had me confused.

Thank you for your response; I just don't understand WHY they would round either up or down, rather than clock us in or out at the actual time.

I had a dream that I got kicked out of nursing school just last night for having pot on me (not that I'm in nursing school yet, but still). I had a bag of it on me, mixed with cheerios for "the munchies," and then I stuffed it in a container of Fruct...

Okay, before I go any further, I just want to say that I know this is going to be my choice in the end, but I would like to hear some different perspectives on this. I recently got my first CNA job, which I thought would work fantastic with my schoo...

Thank you for your input! Yeah... When I was being interviewed, the woman was telling me how great this schedule would work with my schooling and we talked about how great it would be that I'd only have to miss every other Friday. She didn't tell me ...

I lived in Washington State for a little while, and really enjoyed the west coast while I was there. I'm wondering if maybe I'd like living in Hawaii, though? Now THAT would be a perfect climate for me, though my husband doesn't care for the tropics,...

Yeah, no kidding. My husband and I moved to Minnesota back in October. The snow can be pretty, but I'm sick of having to worry about digging out my car and being afraid that I'll have to wake up several hours in advance for work to do that, and what...

Often times people deny feminism because of the negative (and irrelevant, really) connotation associated with it, or because they think that to be a feminist you have to be female and actively protesting. Both of these notions need to go.

I don't understand the purpose of this comment.

It's not your fault if you have limited options at your age and as a student, and I also think it was probably good for you to call in if you couldn't drive on un-plowed roads, where you could potentially hurt yourself or someone else. At the same t...

What kind of answers would be helpful if they aren't based on the truth?

I believe you're right, I suppose I just found it odd that it should count as "abuse" when the action wasn't done out of ill-intent. Every other example I was given for "verbal abuse" were things like "If you don't eat your food now, I won't give it ...

It was part of an online training program that my company provides; I don't know who the particular creator of that software is.

I actually saw a presentation on this subject today, coincidentally. In the presentation, there was a scenario where one of the elderly dementia patients kept trying to escape and wander the streets. Out of frustration, the CNA shouted, "If you wande...

Military is always an option, but I don't think OP isn't "capable of hard work" if she chooses not to do it. That's absolutely ridiculous. Most people I know didn't move out of their parents house right after high school, and even when they did, they...

Yeah, there will definitely be some rough months ahead while you try to transition from your parents house to supporting yourself. I hope you're able to find a way to make it work well for you... It would be better to sacrifice a few months of unhapp...
