  1. Failed NCLEX, lost my job

    buddiage replied to studentnurse74's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hang tight, nursingstudent. I have never found that "when one door closes, another opens" to be false. You are going to look back at this one day and go, "Man I'm glad I got out of

  3. Nurses vs EMTs?

    buddiage replied to bluepenguin's topic in General Nursing

    OH BROTHER! Speaking from experience, I was an EMT for 5 years before I spawned a daughter ;-) Some volunteers, not all, had issues with their ego, and would rub their certification in people's faces...

    buddiage replied to OLOLstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Hi- Well, that's a lot to deal with. It's hard, even on a good day. There are others out there trying to deal with school and aren't doing very well. My friend just let me know that she isn't going...

  8. Depressed and Torn

    buddiage replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    Don't have a kid now. You have to be able to take care of yourself first before adding on another human into the family. Having a child in your scenerio sounds kind of like what "shopping" does for...

  9. Husbands not happy about nursing school- potential jealousy?

    buddiage posted a topic in General Students

    I'm curious if any females who are married may have a husband who did not like the idea of them going back to school, and would find any reason (the "money" card or whatever) to prevent it from...

  10. Husbands not happy about nursing school- potential jealousy?

    buddiage replied to buddiage's topic in General Students

    I'd come from the angle of "all the extra money we'll get." I had to work the money angle big time, because that is what was important to my husband. I could care less. Even stating the convinience of...

  11. About To Take The Leap

    buddiage replied to IWANT2BE's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrads on your decision! I am 32, and going into the nursing program this August. I will tell you from my own experience what it did for ME. -when you go to school, it changes you. It gave me a...

  13. Husbands not happy about nursing school- potential jealousy?

    buddiage replied to buddiage's topic in General Students

    Wow, seems like there are men AND women that can relate. And as someone stated, love is action. Initially starting out, I really did start out with school with two goals: one, to afford the horses I...

  15. Husbands not happy about nursing school- potential jealousy?

    buddiage replied to buddiage's topic in General Students

    Wow! To all of you have endured the lack of support (or the "drag" from someone getting in your way) for going to nursing school: As tencat said, there is a new dimension to you when you start feeling...

  16. Why did you take up nursing? What's your story?

    buddiage replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to be a nurse when I was 19, but hated school so much, so I volunteered at the fire department and became an EMT (met my husband there too). Did a 24 hour shadow in the ER when I got out of...

  17. Should I take A&P 1 during summer semester?

    buddiage replied to Poohsdw's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on what else is going on in your life. I took it during the Summer. I did just fine. What I WOULDN'T want to do is take AP 2 during the summer. That is much more involved, and more...

  18. Grrrr, sick of the RN Vrs LPN's

    buddiage replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Right on ShayRN!!!! I love it when a bully gets a dose of their own medicine. As someone said before, that IS very clever. I'm totally curious as to why she didn't learn anything when someone tried to...

  20. Doctors comments about not trusting his Nurses

    buddiage replied to grinnurse's topic in General Nursing

    You don't have to put personal feelings into it. It would be assumed that you did feel insulted. The facts, without the feelings interjected, infer that: -hospital looks incompetent and unsafe to...

  21. Doctors comments about not trusting his Nurses

    buddiage replied to grinnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Seems to me that his comment would be the LAST thing a patient and family would need to hear, even if it were true. And am I understanding that this wonderful doc was at church???? The hospital would...

    buddiage replied to AllyRN82's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! This, by far, has been the best thread I have read at this website since I joined. I am going into my program this fall, and joined this website to get a "heads up" for what was comming. I have...

  23. Anyone take LPN program just to make it easier to become RN?

    buddiage replied to cindy0624's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Gosh, well, in my area, it isn't as hard as where I just moved from (moved from Washington to Missouri). In Washington, the hammer just came down from what it looks like, because the requriements to...

  24. Cant find a job in almost 6 months. Thats ridiculous!

    buddiage replied to Woman_in_love's topic in General Nursing

    My idea would be to not only review your resume, but go in person and talk to the nursing recruiter. No over the phone

  25. ? About not breastfeeding

    buddiage replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My SIL didn't want to because "it grossed her out." I think my brother even may have had some "turf" issues to think of breasts as being something that actually had a function instead of eye candy....
