  1. Hardship: none of my business or a problem?

    BSNbound21 replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    Stop living in a van. Sell it, get a small car, and rent a room. I think it is totally reasonable for a property owner to not want someone living in a parked vehicle on their property- commercial or...

  2. Nurse Practitioner (Mother) leaves 21 month old in car for 8 hours

    BSNbound21 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    This has got to be one of the most depressing things I've ever heard of. I can't even begin to imagine what horrifying intolerable pain this family has felt. I'm not sure I'd be able to remain living...

  3. S.C. 5th Grader Dies After a Fight at School

    BSNbound21 replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    Absolutely. This happened at school, not at home, which means that the environment was not safe enough to prevent such an altercation. I think blaming uninvolved parents is a dangerous mistake to make...

  4. Real Talk- "Ideal" Nurse Personality?

    BSNbound21 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I will preface this with yes, I know that there are a variety of different personality types necessary for any job organization to run smoothly. Some people are strong in certain areas where others...

  5. Real Talk- "Ideal" Nurse Personality?

    BSNbound21 replied to BSNbound21's topic in General Nursing

    Amen. I have always felt this way about my personal doctors, ha. They get paid well, so I'm going to "bother" them as much as I want. From what I gather, nurses deal with patients in the same way...

  6. Real Talk- "Ideal" Nurse Personality?

    BSNbound21 replied to BSNbound21's topic in General Nursing

    I always cover my bases, regardless of how unnecessary it may seem. I'm the type of person who doesn't mind annoying my employer or superior for the better cause of the job. I feel that the doctor...

  7. S.C. 5th Grader Dies After a Fight at School

    BSNbound21 replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    1) We don't know the social & familial status of the victim or bullies' parents, so I'm not sure where this is coming from. 2) I am a child of the 80s with two parents who worked full-time and my...

  8. S.C. 5th Grader Dies After a Fight at School

    BSNbound21 replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    When I was in high school, a friend of mine got into a fight with another freshman. The guy punched my friend in the back of his head. He was in a coma for two weeks and had to learn how to talk...

  9. I work as a firefighter but seriously considering nursing

    BSNbound21 replied to Madigan's topic in Nursing Career

    My school is very competitive to get into b/c it's a state university and therefore waaaaay cheaper than private colleges & Chamberlain- type programs. Like, a quarter of the cost cheaper. 10% of...

  10. Do you have to work as a CNA before going to nursing school?

    BSNbound21 replied to Marie_30's topic in General Nursing

    I would say no. If your school asks for work experience or healthcare experience, and you have none, it's not necessarily a deal breaker if your test scores and GPA are good. My school only looks at...

  11. Real Talk- "Ideal" Nurse Personality?

    BSNbound21 replied to BSNbound21's topic in General Nursing

    Great response- thank you. The last place I worked, nobody cared about the 'fridge. We also had a co-worker eating parts of our lunch (like, really?). I put a note on it (typed) along the lines of...

  12. Real Talk- "Ideal" Nurse Personality?

    BSNbound21 replied to BSNbound21's topic in General Nursing

    That is very sweet. Thank

  13. Looking for advice: I don't like my salary

    BSNbound21 replied to EternalFeather's topic in General Nursing

    My father once told me (he was a 9th level manager for a huge car manufacturer) that "You're never going to get what you deserve unless you ask for it. Nobody is just going to hand it to you and tell...

  14. Did I ruin my chances of ever becoming a nurse?

    BSNbound21 replied to Moonbaby79's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you have a prescription for it and are using it as prescribed, you have nothing to worry about. Otherwise, take this as a lesson that you should not be taking controlled substances without...

  15. Did I ruin my chances of ever becoming a nurse?

    BSNbound21 replied to Moonbaby79's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This. I drink wine a few times a week but didn't have any the day before my drug screen even though I knew it wasn't being tested for... just because. How do you "forget" and take something like...

  16. Is 54 too old to get hired as a new RN?

    BSNbound21 replied to OHRN2023's topic in General Nursing

    Being older does not mean a person is unable to be molded. This is discriminatory

  17. Do I have to disclose mental illness

    BSNbound21 replied to NurseChaiPls's topic in General Nursing

    But they cannot legally verify the information, correct? Which makes it none of their business- this is a SCHOOL asking a STUDENT not a hospital asking a nurse. Different situation. Students are...

  18. Is 54 too old to get hired as a new RN?

    BSNbound21 replied to OHRN2023's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly this. I'm taking prerequisites with people who are half my age, and if these are the people I will be competing with for jobs after graduation, I'm not worried ONE BIT. There is no advantage...

  19. Is 54 too old to get hired as a new RN?

    BSNbound21 replied to OHRN2023's topic in General Nursing

    If you are eligible to sit for the NCLEX, you should do it. You've already put in a considerable amount of time and money. Why give up now? Because of your age? There is nothing you can do about...

  20. Good Part-Time Job for Nursing Student- thinking Pharm Tech

    BSNbound21 replied to BSNbound21's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    After doing some internet research, I discovered that my local hospital offers a summer work internship of sorts for students who have completed Fundamentals. It's essentially a pathway to an RN job...

  21. Good Part-Time Job for Nursing Student- thinking Pharm Tech

    BSNbound21 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am starting a BSN program this Fall. It's four semesters = 2 years, and while my husband and I have prepared for me to be out of work, I would still like to get a part-time job. We will be paying...

  22. Do I have to disclose mental illness

    BSNbound21 replied to NurseChaiPls's topic in General Nursing

    The school cannot run a background check on your medical records, so you don't have to tell them anything. I think this is a very odd request... and could get them in hot water for a potential...

  23. ABSN Loan Considerations and Advice

    BSNbound21 replied to jleegato's topic in General Students

    That's a substantial amount of debt. You shouldn't pay more than 1/2 year's salary for the education that it takes to obtain it. It also depends on your CURRENT financial status. If you have no nest...

  24. Vaccination for clinical

    BSNbound21 replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    This is the take-away. OP is just "not interested," which is just... very disturbing. After reading the post once more, I think this might be

  25. Vaccination for clinical

    BSNbound21 replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    ...and rethink your choice of profession. From what I understand, healthcare education is centered around evidence-based practice and science. The scientific community generally accepts the value...
