  1. Devastated beyond belief....and I don't even know what to change.

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    See, this is what I think...as politically unpopular as it is. Obviously I don't know what everyone got on our exam, but when I started hearing numbers like, "I missed 20" and "I missed 19"...the...

  2. Devastated beyond belief....and I don't even know what to change.

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    What is so shocking about this exam, is that I can't figure out what went wrong. I think part of it had to be test design (I'm not trying to place blame..seriously), b/c if it was just me, then so...

  3. Wanting to organize a sexual assault response team in a rural area.

    justme1972 replied to applelady's topic in Forensic

    I agree that it's something that is important to women...and men (yes, I know of one)...that are victims of sexual assault. I cannot imagine what goes through a victim's mind during an ordeal like...

  4. about being harassed as a male

    justme1972 replied to Darklighter's topic in Male Nursing Students

    All I could say when I got past the first two sentences was "Wow". No question she was flirting with you...and it was very unprofessional for her to do so. Now, here is even the sadder part of the...

  5. IV air bubbles

    justme1972 replied to I'mANurse!'s topic in NICU, Neonatal

    As a student, posts like yours are very important to me. Maybe I'm still looking through nursing with rose colored glasses, and I know that time is of the essence with some procedures, but one of the...

  6. Patients sending Myspace Friend Requests!?

    justme1972 replied to AKAKatydid's topic in General Nursing

    I can imagine how difficult something like that would be. I will never forget when I had a close friend about 5 years ago that was a victim of a violent crime and I went to visit him at the hospital...

  7. MEOW! Catty nursing students

    justme1972 replied to OldShoesRock's topic in General Students

    Sorry, I'm not one of these people that will treat someone with more respect than what they are willing to give back. That only reinforces what they are doing. These same three girls are also famous...

  8. scrubs and ironing

    justme1972 replied to CT Pixie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Maybe I'm just anal...but for example, I bought two sets of the Katherine Heigl scrubs. I took them out of the dryer and the fabric "puffed up"...I dry everything on low and I do use fabric softener....

  9. MEOW! Catty nursing students

    justme1972 replied to OldShoesRock's topic in General Students

    If you live in a large city, no one pays any attention. When you live in a small, rural community where people give directions based on where other people live b/c everyone knows everyone...then you...

  10. Husband uncomfortable with my job!

    justme1972 replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    ...because they have to get their point accross in order to control, so of course he isn't going to keep his "concerns" to himself. I find it very hard to believe, in this day of mass media, that even...

  11. Grievance leads to physical conditions?!

    justme1972 replied to sissiesmama's topic in General Nursing

    I understand how you feel, I really do. I'll never forget the first dog that I lost I cried my eyes out for weeks. I know that people like having dogs as "part of the family", but I think that this...

  12. starting on nights tomorrow. Question..

    justme1972 replied to beachbum3's topic in General Nursing

    Remember your Anatomy...darkness makes your body want to fall asleep. Keep tons of lights on....try not to look at the clock..find a physical activity to keep you moving and busy so you'll sleep good...

  13. Infuriating Responses To Questions

    justme1972 replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    I completely disagree with your philosophy. To take a blanket approach like that, I'll be honest, is lazy of any educator. Bottom line: They are getting PAID to do a job. I pay tuition in exchange...

  15. MEOW! Catty nursing students

    justme1972 replied to OldShoesRock's topic in General Students

    There are 3 girls that sit together in our class that did an externship at the same hospital I did this summer. During orientation...through 5 DAYS of orientation...these same 3 girls sat at another...

  16. Husband uncomfortable with my job!

    justme1972 replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    This is a control issue...this has absolutely nothing to do with your job as a CNA and I'll be honest, it's a sign of an abusive personality. Even if you quit tomorrow, give him a few weeks, and he'll...

  17. Consent to drug test OB/L&D Patients

    justme1972 replied to JMA-RN2B's topic in General Nursing

    Here is the thing...a lot of these drug mothers claim to be clean...so you can't use that as a criteria. They know if they admit to drug use it's an automatic social services referral...so they just...

  18. Uniform, where to get it from online, Legit.

    justme1972 replied to 2bELNurse1's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm one of those people that is very difficult to fit. So I went to the local, overpriced, huge selection scrub shop and I tried on scrubs to my heart's content. I marked down style numbers and sizes...

  19. Homans Sign

    justme1972 replied to babynurse32's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hospital where I was this summer, all the nurses checked for Homan's during every routine assessment at least times per day, lady partsl or c-section

  20. Consent to drug test OB/L&D Patients

    justme1972 replied to JMA-RN2B's topic in General Nursing

    I can already tell you a problem that you are going to run into. At the hospital where I externed this summer, there was a very high rate of drug babies. This hospital did as close to the first urine...

  21. scrubs and ironing

    justme1972 replied to CT Pixie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I starch and iron my scrubs b/c I can't stand the "just got out of bed look" that seems to be so popular these days. I don't have to iron my Grey's Anatomy's...they come out of the dryer perfect and...

  22. first nursing test: FAILED

    justme1972 replied to robert2010's topic in General Students

    Ok...don't flip out..seriously...remain calm Nursing exams are very, very different than other types of exams...you were probably very surprised at the format, weren't you? A ton of people bombed on...

  23. do you ever just wanna yell..."Would you SHUT UP already???"

    justme1972 replied to coltsgrl's topic in General Students

    Yes, but the word "annoy" is not a professional way to encourage someone to change their behavior...I can think of alot of other ways you could have approached that same situation and got the same...

  24. Comfortable Shoes

    justme1972 replied to NTB08's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I found them at both Shoe Show and Shoe Carnival...anywhere that they sell alot of skechers. I am one of these shoe "snobs" that think they have to pay alot of money for a good pair. Well, these shoes...

  25. Career Fair attire? conserative? professional?

    justme1972 replied to bisson's topic in General Nursing

    My husband works in occupational psychology, so we have a ton of HR magazines all the time that come to our house. It's interviews that places like careerbuilder.com or monster.com or other businesses...
