  1. Are Bs in nursing school really that good?

    wildmountainchild replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    O.K. Can I just say that there are people out there who get straight A's, are well liked by all thier peers, are incredibly competent with skills, AND are nice people. It just seems that in the rush...

  2. Criminal or just Bad Judgement?

    wildmountainchild replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Just a point here. The vast, vast, vast majority of sexual predators are straight, as in heterosexual males. Not that homosexual males don't victimize but it is much more

  3. permanent bruise?

    wildmountainchild replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    I took a nasty fall onto my hip about 6 months ago and I have a dent in my hip and a light bruise still. I think it has something to do w/ compression of the connective tissue and vasculature. I would...

  5. Help I'm mobbed

    wildmountainchild replied to Sonn's topic in General Nursing

    Sonn, I know what it is like to be blackballed, bullied, and made to feel inadequate. Your confidence is ripped form you and this has a tendency to make lesser things seem larger. Everyone on this...

  6. How has nursing affected your marriage?

    wildmountainchild replied to feisty_lpn's topic in General Nursing

    Narnia456, You go girl! Ha, ha, ha. I love an independant woman. I know some of my classmates in the same position and I'm so proud of them for taking that step. My husband is awesome, but we don't...

  7. "I'm NOT going to support his habit...." LONG

    wildmountainchild replied to tencat's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, I did read the second post. And it in no way mitigated the damage of the first. I will always speak my mind (and my heart) where patient care is concerned. It makes me sick to think of those...

  8. "I'm NOT going to support his habit...." LONG

    wildmountainchild replied to tencat's topic in General Nursing

    UKRNinUSA, I am so utterly appalled at your post I can barely type. Who are you to judge? Who are you to hand out karmic revenge? You have an obligation as a professional to be compassionate, caring,...

    wildmountainchild replied to loriannlpn's topic in General Nursing

  11. Cadaver lab

    wildmountainchild replied to nursetim's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Anatomy without dissecting and handling the human body doesn't count in my opinion. There is NO substitute for the real thing. And believe me, it's easier to remember the cranial nerves when you've...

  12. Feeling no support from my husband at all...

    wildmountainchild replied to christvs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    So you might know the other side......... My husband is so supportive of me and my dreams that I almost cry when I think about it. He is fully supporting me now as I go through an entry level MSN-FNP...

  13. Wrong reasons

    wildmountainchild replied to oldshoes's topic in General Nursing

    You should fire off an e-mail about those ads to The Center for Nursing Advocacy. Just google it. It's an organization that actively works to improve the view of nurses in the media. No doubt about...

  14. How do you pass patho/pharmacology?!

    wildmountainchild replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

    Notecards are good, but concept mapping, as grueling as it is, takes the cake for getting me to understand. For your pharm, What book do you have? We use the one by Lehne and I swear he writes so well...

  15. , All you needed to get into Nursing school was a application & and "average joe.."

    wildmountainchild replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    There is another post on the board about "grade freaks" and the negative connotations thereof. I see it completely differently with how entrance requirements are. Be a grade freak! I am, and it got...

  17. My CRNA friends do illegal drugs

    wildmountainchild replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Take it from one who used to do ecstacy "back in the day" (about 10 years ago). You DO NOT want someone who has been doing ecstacy within the last 48-72 hours handling any life or death situations....

  18. 7 years to become an RN in California

    wildmountainchild replied to happyanne's topic in General Nursing

    First of all......why would anyone get an ADN instead of a BSN? Seriously. By the time you get all your pre-reqs and general education requirements out of the way, you have most likely spent four...

    wildmountainchild replied to SA2BDOCTOR's topic in General Students

  20. Dansko shoes

    wildmountainchild replied to snowangel3's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Definently try on a pair on Danskos at a store to get your size. They seem to be different than regular european sizes. But I'd still go the mailorder route. I checked on sierratradingpost and you can...

  22. Regular classes

    wildmountainchild replied to nursetim's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm confused. What are regular classes? Are the classes your program offers online? Do you want an FNP program that has a classroom and clinical based curriculum? If that's the case there are a ton of...

    wildmountainchild replied to birthmamaew's topic in Post Graduate Students

    wildmountainchild replied to Lachrymologist's topic in General Nursing
