  1. Do I let her know about my brother??

    Soup Turtle replied to zumalong's topic in General Nursing

    I would probably write a letter to the business letting them know what I heard. I would also mention that I realized the nurses probably meant no harm or offense, but that the subject was a sensitive...

  2. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    Soup Turtle replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I might be the only one, but I agree with you! I'm not concerned that the MA who calls herself a nurse is going to inject battery acid into me because she's an incompetent

  3. Please help...How can I handle my professor?

    Soup Turtle replied to toriphile23's topic in General Nursing

    If you asked your professor if you could take another patient and she said no, why did you go around her and do it anyway? It sounds like a lot of your problem could have been avoided if you had...

  4. Please help...How can I handle my professor?

    Soup Turtle replied to toriphile23's topic in General Nursing

    Well, she sounds like someone who doesn't like to hear excuses. Next time she corrects you, maybe ensure her that it won't happen again instead of explaining why you didn't do it. It probably would...

  5. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    Soup Turtle replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    i wouldn't have much of a reaction because this would rate really low on my list of things to worry about. i see these types of posts on here all the time, so i guess i shouldn't be

  6. Best way to memorize for A&P

    Soup Turtle replied to AmericanChai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Association is my favorite method. I also liked to schedule my labs late in the afternoon to leave me a 2-3 hour long break before lab tests. I'd pick out the "parts" that I had the most trouble with,...

  7. Sooo NERVOUS... 75Q again.

    Soup Turtle replied to Praying2BanRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  8. need some encourgement

    Soup Turtle replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just took my first foundations test and did well, but the questions were tricky. The two things that helped me the most were taking a more general approach to the material and doing the NCLEX style...

  9. Guys: How do you handle the female aggressiveness/possessiveness

    Soup Turtle replied to lpnguy26's topic in Men in Nursing

    If you want to be on your best behavior, just imagine your wife's watching what you say/do.

  10. Guys: How do you handle the female aggressiveness/possessiveness

    Soup Turtle replied to lpnguy26's topic in Men in Nursing

    I can sense each man's immense desire for me every time I innocently walk by. But, seriously, it sounds like you're loving it! You almost said something sexual to the nurse who pinched you, but then...

  11. YOU as a Pt-what would you allow a student nurse to do?

    Soup Turtle replied to KellNY's topic in General Nursing

    :lol2: That's messed

  12. 50 out of 100 Nursing students failed program

    Soup Turtle replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    A student asked how many people didn't make it through the fundamentals class before us and the instructor said 20! There were about sixty to start out with. It's scary, but on the bright side, at...

  13. YOU as a Pt-what would you allow a student nurse to do?

    Soup Turtle replied to KellNY's topic in General Nursing

    I've only been practiced on a few times. Once was just for a simple blood draw, but the student had a lot of trouble and had to try about six times. I just kept encouraging him to try again and...

  14. Medical Model vs. Nursing Model...Huh?

    Soup Turtle replied to amanda sue's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses deal more with the person's response to a disease and doctors deal with the physical disease itself...or something like

  15. discouraged

    Soup Turtle replied to beba42's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    After you finish your first semester of nursing school, it should be a lot easier to get a job like

    Soup Turtle replied to roxxy3773's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. Life and jobs in San Francisco

    Soup Turtle replied to krazykev's topic in California Nursing

    I looked into moving there, but it's EXPENSIVE! I decided to stick to SF as a vacation spot, instead. I would like to actually own a home

  18. What is it like living in Pittsburgh?

    Soup Turtle posted a topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I've been there once, but it was years ago. I'm really thinking I might want to move there. Any info about anything would be helpful. I've read a lot on websites, but they are all so rosy!

  19. I'm glad I have this forum...

    Soup Turtle replied to Talulah117's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with calling! It can't hurt, right? I would be soooo sad if this happened to me....and angry,

  20. Should I Have Stepped In??

    Soup Turtle replied to leesespieces's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but if anything, I probably would have been running in the OPPOSITE direction after hearing gunshots and screaming. Even police officers, with all their training, get shot and killed. The...

  21. Are You Being Bullied in the Classroom

    Soup Turtle replied to Jayfa's topic in General Students

    When you say your level of participation, what, exactly, do you mean? I've been in a few classes where one student had a comment/question/story for every sentence the instructor managed to get out....

  22. I just want to be an LPN...

    Soup Turtle replied to Cherry2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well, you say you originally intended to become an RN...maybe people think they're encouraging you to do what they think you WANT to do? I worked as a receptionist for 10 years and constantly had...

  23. So I did not back out....

    Soup Turtle replied to Silverdaisyd's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    congrats!!!!!!!:roll:d

  24. I have trouble admitting that I will be a nurse

    Soup Turtle replied to flyingfish2u's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I've got one word for you- confidence! It's appealing. Self doubt and embarassment are not. If nursing is you, stand up and say it is. No matter what you do in life, there will people looking down on...

  25. Stethoscope!

    Soup Turtle replied to Anna4505's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'd skip the lightweight and go for the Classic II. I just got mine yesterday and I love it. I thought about getting the Cardiology version, but I've been told, by everyone, that they grow legs and...
