1. Robin Williams RIP: Coping Mechanism?

   MBrickle replied to aspiration's topic in Psychiatric

   There is also speculation that Jim Carey suffers from major depression as well. Both of them over-act quite a bit and I, too, wondered if it was some sort of a coping mechanism. So sad either

2. Easiest and Toughest Classes In UT Arlington RN-BSN Program

   MBrickle replied to commonsense's topic in University of Texas Arlington

   Assessment is easy but time consuming and requires great detail. Research is awful. Just awful. With a good group you are looking at 30 hrs/week of work up to 50+ with a bad group. There are many bad...

3. Easiest and Toughest Classes In UT Arlington RN-BSN Program

   MBrickle replied to commonsense's topic in University of Texas Arlington

   Research is beyond awful. I had a decent group and easily spent 40 hours a week on it. I felt that vulnerable was ok, but the week 2 assignment took me about 28 hours. So, if you can call out of work...

4. Simmons College FNP September 2014

   MBrickle replied to lecolourfiend's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   I want to go to Simmons but my main concern now is money. I have a spot being held at UMB and I also interviewed for a TA position there (5hrs/week, free tuition and 25% off all fees) which will...

5. Letting very young children see a dying patient

   MBrickle replied to Cuddleswithpuddles's topic in Critical Care

   Personally, faced with this, I would seek the guidance of a mental health professional on what the best course of action would be. Young kids can't understand illness if their parents look healthy...

8. UMass Boston- is there smething I'm missing??

   MBrickle replied to Cindy-20's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   I have never received a package as of yet. UMass assists you but I hear you largely have to work on your own to find them which I'm terrified of as I don't have hospital experience or many...

9. Fired 6 weeks into orientation

   MBrickle replied to CuddleFox's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I'm going to pop in and say that "they was" not doing anything, but "they WERE doing something." Grammar issues like this drive me

10. Will every CNA get injured at one point?

    MBrickle replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    As some who ruptured a disc 6 months in and who still can't feel the back of her left leg: 1) lift weights! Strengthen your core and arms so they can bare the brunt of lifting and also do lifts to...

    MBrickle replied to Guest07/13/15's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I'm glad! Research is tough...if you want a good grade then you need To be fully responsible for everyone else and their work which is doubly stressful! It will end and you will move on! It's like...

14. UMass Boston- is there smething I'm missing??

    MBrickle replied to Cindy-20's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Did anyone here get into UMass Boston? Or, for anyone who has been there, do they ever send an official "package" with intro materials and cost information? I have received a few e-mails from them,...

15. Days or Nights with kids?

    MBrickle replied to ChristineN's topic in General Nursing

    I think the nights thing is tough which adds another element of complexity to the situation. I'm a night owl and working nights is killing me after 2 years. Especially because it takes me 1.5-2hrs to...
