  1. Should I continue this??

    ijuanabhappy posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have not even completed first semester quite yet and already I have a case of the "Back to school blues". I am not looking forward to starting up again next semester. This is really sad, as I have...

  2. Should I continue this??

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for telling me this. It is good to know that I am not the only one who has felt this way. I feel like others view me now at clinical as this thin-skinned, needy, high-maintenance,...

  3. Should I continue this??

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate all of the replies. It is not that I "hate" nursing, I just felt so out of my skin at the clinicals. Believe me, I do care about people and whenever I do something, I give 100%. When I...

  4. Nursing and Astrological Sign

    ijuanabhappy posted a topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I am an Aquarian nursing student. My aunt apparently did my chart and I have no earth signs whatsoever in my chart. My aunt said that Virgos make the best nurses. They are well-organized,...

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    What about nursing do you not like anymore? Knowing what you know now, if you could have done something different besides nursing... what would it have been? (I am in my 1st semester and having some...

  12. lost in clinical.. confused about nursing school...:(

    ijuanabhappy replied to miniangel729's topic in General Students

    I totally feel your pain. I have had 4 clinicals so far. We are there once a week for 12-hour shifts. I still feel like I do not know what to do at all. The instructions have been so vague and...

  13. Should I Take a Caregiver Position for the Experience?

    ijuanabhappy posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have a decision to make. I am in my first semester of nursing school (RN). I have an opportunity to work about 10 hours a week as a caregiver for a patient at home where I will be able to learn...

  14. Wondering if 50 is too old to go to RN school

    ijuanabhappy replied to fancyme50's topic in LPN to RN

    No way are you too old. There are many people a lot older who are starting out from stratch. You are already a nurse. Think of it as just continuing education! Good luck!

  15. Medical Terminology Test?

    ijuanabhappy replied to 48mystic's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Marianne, I took a medical terminology test for a clerical position but it has been many years ago. I cannot remember, but I believe it was multiple choice. Just remember, most questions you will...

  16. Any INFP nurses out there?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I love pharmacology. Actually, when I first started college many, many years ago, I was wanting to get into pharmacy. That sounds like a fun

  17. Any INFP nurses out there?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Let me clarify my last post because I know that it sounds strange. Nurses probably don't work with deceased or do autopsy-related things, and I wouldn't have the desire to either. I was just trying...

  18. Any INFP nurses out there?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Being an INFP, I don't think I could work the ER. I have a lot of fears and phobias too, which makes me question whether nursing is even a good fit for me in general. Is ER stressful? I think I...

  19. Going to RN program at age 40--crazy?

    ijuanabhappy replied to Teapot12345's topic in General Nursing

    I just started a nursing program this year and I am 39. Many people in my class are older than me. Some are in their 50's and I even think we might have a couple in their 60's. As an age, 40 is not...

  20. Any INFP nurses out there?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I can see where I would struggle with this too... being firm with a patient who doesn't want to do something that they must do. I am friendly when I interact with people and I want them to like me,...

  22. Any INFP nurses out there?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Loriangel, Thanks for your reply. You sound a lot like me. I have found that some of the nurses I am around in clinical seem to be harsher. I, too, would just give the lol a cup of tea or a...

  23. Nursing? May not have any other choice.

    ijuanabhappy replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that was harsh. I hope I won't be working among nurses with your attitude. Don't you think you are giving a bad impression of nurses with rude comments like that? Please never go into psych...

  24. Nursing? May not have any other choice.

    ijuanabhappy replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    I think a lot of people are reading the OP wrong and being a little too harsh on her. I take it as that she is just "thinking out loud" and trying to be totally honest before she makes this career...

  25. Personality Type and Nursing

    ijuanabhappy replied to Mesomorph's topic in General Nursing

    I can't believe it! I consistently score an an INFP every time I take a personality test even though the questions are totally different. I guess that means I truly am. What type of nursing is good...
