    Please don't just assume I am not taking responsibility...

    Granuaile replied to Granuaile's topic in General Students

    Hmmmn...I'm a little confused, did you read my last post (#12)? I did not say anything about fighting the system currently or in the future - I went through that process last year and it had...

    Please don't just assume I am not taking responsibility...

    Granuaile replied to Granuaile's topic in General Students

    Update ~ Well, it's impossible to describe all that happened in the past year, but I wanted to provide a little update...I went through the school's formal complaint process last year, which took...

    any one else feeling really discouraged about getting in?

    Granuaile replied to picurn10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's really encouraging to read this thread...I can relate so much with what so many people have said. I get very discouraged for many reasons, lack of money, etc., oh, I could go on but my break at...

    need feedback regarding a topic of my scholarship application essay, please!

    Granuaile replied to Granuaile's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thankyou, ExpatHopeful, for your input. Like you spoke about, I definitely don't want anything I share to be about eliciting sympathy. Maybe I could share about my experience as a chemical dependency...

    what unit is best for ADD type?

    Granuaile replied to mh356's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I too have ADHD (mixed type!) and find that home health drives me crazy because it's not "stimulating enough." I have read and it seems to apply to me that people with ADHD thrive in chaotic &/or...

    Nurses struggling with mental illness

    Granuaile replied to Severina's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Perhaps, as well, your higher power is giving you more space in your life for something else? Of course that's not to say that you may have been discriminated against...my heart goes out to you....

    Do you count resps every time you do vitals?

    Granuaile replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    I am a CNA and I count them for 15 sec, then multiply by four; unless their RR is irregular, then I'll count for 30 - 60 sec (and multiply by two, of course, if counting for 30 sec.) I haven't...

    What to do?? I failed!

    Granuaile replied to RNFinally12's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think it's great that you are challenging the decision to fail you. I think that it's people like you who will help make some much-needed, long-awaited changes in nursing school culture. I've...

    Food Addiction?

    Granuaile replied to TheCommuter's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am so glad to see this thread on allnurses.com...I am a recovering anorexic/bulimic (10+ years, by the grace of HP!) Where I live, there is a 12-step group called Eating Disorders Anonymous,...

    Do Nurses STILL want to marry Doctors?

    Granuaile replied to showbizrn's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that's why I put the chuckling emoticon, I don't find anything realistic about that show...actually, from what I've seen of it, both sexes treat their partners in ways that are unrealistic, and...

    Did anyone hate nursing school?

    Granuaile replied to FNPhopeful's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I wonder that, too? I mean, wherever you go, there will be people who are there for the wrong reasons...but there does seem to be this culture about nursing school that says, "there's a shortage of...

    Do Nurses STILL want to marry Doctors?

    Granuaile replied to showbizrn's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know who I'll end up marrying, I'm 34 and as time goes on I realize that there is soooo much more to a person than meets the eye...I'm a second quarter nursing student and haven't been around...

    Please don't just assume I am not taking responsibility...

    Granuaile replied to Granuaile's topic in General Students

    Thank you! That is one thing that I have learned, feeling hurt by something someone has done does not equal disliking them or at the very least not viewing them as human like every one else. I don't...

    Please don't just assume I am not taking responsibility...

    Granuaile replied to Granuaile's topic in General Students

    Good point, llg...maybe it would've been better to use the word "fair," for the way I worded it was a bit

    Please don't just assume I am not taking responsibility...

    Granuaile replied to Granuaile's topic in General Students

    Thank you for your response. It's crazy, so many things in life are filled with so many shades of grey...I am very intelligent, left a successful career to attend nursing school, and put myself...

    Please don't just assume I am not taking responsibility...

    Granuaile replied to Granuaile's topic in General Students

    I appreciate your response...But, I disagree on a few points. I do NOT think that this instructor has been out to get me since day one - I had her for the first quarter, and had no issues with her....
