  1. Support Planned Parenthood Today!

    HandsOffMySteth replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I see a great deal of passion and anger in this topic. One issue that should be considered is when you are in the role of a nurse, politics is completely unacceptable. You WILL make half the people...

  2. Home care agency - not paying me after giving two weeks notice

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Nnj's topic in General Nursing

  3. Meltdown at work, does TPAPN need to know?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to N377311's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You're a human being and allowed to react as such. Sometimes it is very difficult to respond to others with kindness when we are treated badly. There is nothing wrong with feeling angry or...

  4. Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    In the very near future they will require all RNs to pick up a BSN anyway. You might as well get it done. It does not make any difference what you want, it's what they want. I'm doing the ADN to...

  5. New Ways To Engage Students

    HandsOffMySteth replied to TEXASWAG's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

  6. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I've never really cared what others think about what I choose to do as a profession. That being said, I am 54 years old and have grown wiser. (I hope) I also enjoy figure skating but I am not gay. I...

  7. RN-BSN Not Requiring Statistics

    HandsOffMySteth replied to ThatChickOmi's topic in General Students

    In stats the instructor makes all the difference in the world. My CC has only one teacher that has a good rating with "rate my professor", the others are terrible at teaching. The other campus has...

  8. What is the difference in the ADN, ASN and AAS degrees?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to LeauVixen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From what I understand ADN is just a generic name for any associates degree in

  9. Dismissed from a Nursing Program (Need Advice)

    HandsOffMySteth replied to nursing123's topic in General Students

    Some options might be below. Get your CNA cert and work as a CNA till you formulate a plan. Change your major to another medical-related field, such as MA. Seek out the school...

  10. Microbiology course online?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Amethya's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As others have said, be sure your school will accept the credits. If you do well studying by yourself you should be fine. One drawback is if you need questions answered they might not get back to...

  11. Desperately need advice and encouragement

    HandsOffMySteth replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One cool thing about being older is that patients automatically think you have more experience. ? You will also blend in just fine in the hospital setting as there are many older people in...

  12. Considering changing careers

    HandsOffMySteth replied to ShannonMH's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would be careful about becoming a nurse just for higher income. From what I understand ,the work is exhausting with little time off and requires you can handle a high stress load. If you are...

  13. Science GPA Courses

    HandsOffMySteth replied to StressedStudent911's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  14. Most of the class cheating??

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Katherin7's topic in General Students

    It also seems to me a school like this should be investigated and if found guilty, lose their

  15. Worst Nursing Scrub Color Worn?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to RNliveoak's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Black scrubs make it look like a bunch of ninjas are in the area. ⛩️ In my opinion it is not the best color for healthcare. Patients need to rest, not feel like an assassin is

  16. Cardiology IV

    HandsOffMySteth replied to TwinDaddy's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    It seems to me that residents taking your scope without asking and walking off with it is disrespectful. It says "I don't think you deserve that, I do." It should be policy that everyone who's...

  17. Most of the class cheating??

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Katherin7's topic in General Students

    Cheating does not serve anyone. As a nurse, we should hold ourselves to a higher standard. To think that some of those cheaters will end up working in conditions where a patient can be endangered...
