Fear-mongering in nursing school

Nurse SMS replied to Guest1033582's topic in General Students

30-40 pages? I never had one anywhere near that long. Weird. I favor care mapping/concept mapping over care planning. It lets the new nurse start to see how one condition impacts another. In any case,...
Seeking relocation/career advice

Nurse SMS replied to boogie_girl's topic in Nursing Career

An hour isn't long. I would suggest you stay where you are, keep working, keep applying and commute the hour drive when seeing your partner on days off. Is your current experience in psych? Changing...
Fear-mongering in nursing school

Nurse SMS replied to Guest1033582's topic in General Students

WOW!!. So those of us who are over 45 or so have nothing to contribute to the education of younger nurses? At what age exactly does that happen? How long after being away from bedside should...
ADN to BSN, work or not work as an RN?

Nurse SMS replied to novayogi96's topic in General Students

Most residency programs are for those in their first year after graduation. We look at when you got your RN, not when you got your degree. You can't get into the RN to BSN program without passing...
Dismissed, what now?

Nurse SMS replied to Forever Curls's topic in General Students

All you can do is apply and try. You may have quite an uphill battle. Be prepared to discuss your part in why you failed out and what you plan to do differently. Consider also looking at other...
Nursing salary vs. tuition repayment

Nurse SMS replied to Ngav1206's topic in General Students

68K??? What school are you going to? I did my ASN for less than $8K and my BSN for less than $10K and my MSN for less than 8K. Yes, that is far too much money to spend on a nursing
Facial coverings effective?

Nurse SMS replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Disaster Preparation

Agreed. But apparently "make everyone feel better" is now just cause for pretty much
Facial coverings effective?

Nurse SMS replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Disaster Preparation

The push to reopen society has been based in part on the argument that the psychological toll of sheltering in place is too high. It is the second thing mentioned after talking about the economy...
Active Duty USAF with no nursing experience...

Nurse SMS replied to bnt1996's topic in Nursing Career

You really can't go wrong either way here. Your five year commitment to the USAF will leave you without student debt, which is a pretty big bonus. With your existing BA, you will be qualified to go...
hopelessness

Nurse SMS replied to jennifer.nadal's topic in Nursing Career

It is extremely difficult to move out of LTC and into most other things even when the economy is robust and we aren't under the influence of a pandemic. Doing so right now may be all but impossible....
Working During ADN Program

Nurse SMS replied to Guest1124792's topic in General Students

Lots of people work through nursing school. It is hard, but doable. You will need a flexible job that will be open to changing your hours based on your clinical
I have a hard time "thinking like a nurse"

Nurse SMS replied to miniimufin's topic in General Students

It sounds like you are very good at memorization skills, but that your critical thinking skills are an area to work on. Good for you to recognize this! It IS something you can change and develop. You...
How to deal with hate as a Nurse since we are getting special treatment during this time?

Nurse SMS replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

Trying to figure out how this comes up between two perfect strangers. I have never once in my life had someone see me in scrubs and start talking to me about their woes in this
Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

Nurse SMS replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

The fact that you aren't a nurse but come in here to school those of us who are is interesting. I would love to read your scientific resources as to what is actually going on, if it isn't the...
Fear-mongering in nursing school

Nurse SMS replied to Guest1033582's topic in General Students

Again. You have completed ONE SEMESTER. You are nowhere near even midpoint of this race and not even remotely qualified to decide everyone else is "scare mongering". You sound arrogant, judgmental and...
I really want to quit..any advice?

Nurse SMS replied to Sunny Diem's topic in General Nursing

That makes total sense. I lost my oldest son to cancer when he was 13, so we are members of the same club. I wanted to be an oncology nurse and discovered when I got into it that it was just too close...
Words of Encouragement?

Nurse SMS replied to standingintheoutfield's topic in General Students

You poor thing. This is quite a rabbit hole of anxiety your mind has gone down. When this kind of mental attack comes at you, it may be helpful to review what you know. Not in terms of school work so...
When to start BSN after ADN

Nurse SMS replied to iWish's topic in General Students

I went right into a BSN program as I started my internship as a brand new nurse. For me, it was a big mistake. Being a new nurse is pretty anxiety inducing and overwhelming. My internship program was...
Fear-mongering in nursing school

Nurse SMS replied to Guest1033582's topic in General Students

There is an edge to the hype that does border on fear-mongering, no doubt. That being said, too many people go into a nursing program without realizing it is a full time endeavor, requiring full time...
Personal sexual assault hx-emotional conflict?

Nurse SMS replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

I would suggest seeing a therapist that is well versed in trauma-informed methods. This will help you process your own violation and help you determine if you are able to continue working in this...

Your stance is entirely reasonable given the trauma of your
Furloughed and Fearful

Nurse SMS replied to xoChicagoRN's topic in General Nursing

Being out of work won't count against you right now. Yes, it may be hard to get a job ongoing, but that will be as much due to the recession we are headed into as anything else. Antibody testing is,...
Competency Verification

Nurse SMS replied to Karen Morahan's topic in Disaster Preparation

They are being done one at a time, both parties masked, nobody else in the room. But we don't do annual skill fair days like that anymore. They are done unit by unit instead, by the unit educators,...
50% of fatalities in nursing homes in some States

Nurse SMS replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

At the risk of going far afield, how long does the new spouse have to be married to the parent before its just....a marriage? I worry about this a lot. My spouse is quite a bit older than me.. We have...
New nurse seeking some advice!

Nurse SMS replied to Liam.C_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

I agree with Emergent. It is fine to start having vague, whisper type thoughts of what you might enjoy doing. However, unless you are currently working with pediatric psych patients, that is just a...
