    ToxicShock replied to hpygrl01's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Holla from Baker of Clinton Twp! I am in my 2nd semester (almost put trimester haha) of Baker pre-reqs, but this will be my last set of classes with Baker. Warm wishes and harty hellos! (it's late and...

  2. Yelling Doctors, How do you handle them?????

    ToxicShock replied to Danielle7's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I do it every

  3. Have noticed racist threads right here in the past two days!

    ToxicShock replied to lpn2icu's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We should not be hiring nurses from other countries when there are plenty of new grads who would gladly take those jobs. I don't care if they are coming from Canada, UK, Phillipines, Puerto Rico or...

  4. Fluids & Electrolytes Made Incredibly Easy

    ToxicShock replied to rn2b2011's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I have the anatomy and physiology made incredibly easy, and they feature a chapter on fluid and electrolytes. I love the series, I think it's really helpful. The cartoon drawings tend to simplify...

  5. Pharmacology Class: I'm going to brag on myself.

    ToxicShock replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations on your fantastic score! Pharm isn't easy by any means, and you did awesome

  6. I think it is time for the MCC hopefuls to start count down

    ToxicShock replied to shannonmarie7's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I couldn't care less. I already know I didn't make it, so I'm gonna try and focus on my other pre-reqs and try to forget about the letter. If I don't get accepted this fall, I won't be able to apply...

  7. I cant take nursing anymore

    ToxicShock replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. Good thoughts coming your

  8. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    ToxicShock replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have to resurrect this thread because oh boy, do I have a bunch of mispronunciations by none other than my anatomy and physiology teacher. All semester s/he has been butchering words and giving us...

  9. Yelling Doctors, How do you handle them?????

    ToxicShock replied to Danielle7's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    People should not be yelling at each other in a professional setting - period. Deal with it like

  10. Getting first nursing job in this economy

    ToxicShock replied to cameron764's topic in General Nursing

    I HATE how everyone keeps saying that new nurses will be able to get a job without trouble, when obviously that is NOT true everywhere. It's just so ignorant, and gives new nurses unrealistic...

  11. how do you keep your sexy??

    ToxicShock replied to healthcarefome's topic in General Nursing

    I am but a wee little student, so I can't really say if I've lost my "sexy", or if I even had any to begin with. Assuming I have the sexy (this is sounding like some kind of weird disease now, but I...

  12. VENTING ABOUT MY FIRST JOB... my awful memory... and my awful orientation :(

    ToxicShock replied to lorenwithano's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what the deal is, but I've noticed that now days people are so overly concerned about being a "snitch". Who the hell cares? If you feel you uncomfortable with the person who is training...

  13. Who should get a transplant?

    ToxicShock replied to diane227's topic in General Nursing

    Wrong. I had an alcoholic Uncle who died a couple years ago. He was in and out of rehab, went to jail many times, had to live with my Grandparents, had no job, no car, and no life. He tried many, many...

  14. HfCC waiting list

    ToxicShock replied to lovedasonanddemi's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Do they have fall and spring nursing programs or just fall? If they invite you before you have your pre-reqs done, can you postpone the invite until you have completed them? I'm glad to know you...

  15. Baker Students Waiting For Acceptance Post Here!!

    ToxicShock replied to jabraham99's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I can empathize with this big time. I began posting here around the time I was looking into MCC, and then stopped posting for a while. I started posting again after I made the decision to go to Baker...

  16. How well do Bakers credits transfer??

    ToxicShock replied to cgallagher's topic in Michigan Nursing

    "How well do Bakers credits transfer??" In short: not very. I swear by the Michigan Transfer Network! All you have to do is select the college you are transferring from with the college you are...

  17. HfCC waiting list

    ToxicShock replied to lovedasonanddemi's topic in Michigan Nursing

    It's funny you mention that because when I met with one of the nursing counselors there, she said that they have never invited anyone earlier than 12 months

  18. The Doctor said WHAT?

    ToxicShock replied to nurz2be's topic in General Nursing

    I would never, EVER give up my integrity to save face at a job. If someone is being disrespectful to me or my colleagues, I will respectfully call them out on it. I don't care who they are. Doctors...

  19. What should your title look like?

    ToxicShock replied to moonshadeau's topic in General Nursing

    I don't care what order it goes in: as soon as I get my degree, I'm writing "RN" on EVERYTHING! Expect a ToxicShockRN in the next (million)

  20. NO LUNCH? NO BREAKS? Is that common in nursing?

    ToxicShock replied to CleveRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    I can respect that. I wish you the best of luck - everything always works out in the end

  21. NO LUNCH? NO BREAKS? Is that common in nursing?

    ToxicShock replied to CleveRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    Are you trying to find a job elsewhere? If not, I suggest you do. Not allowing you to take a 5 minute break to poop is wrong on so many levels, especially since you were cramping and not feeling well....

  22. Is it okay to dress like a "nurse"?

    ToxicShock replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

  23. Nurses' handwriting

    ToxicShock replied to rph3664's topic in General Nursing

    maybe it's just me, but I've always had a hard time trying to figure out if someone has an "attitude" based only on their text. Maybe she was just being

  24. HfCC waiting list

    ToxicShock replied to lovedasonanddemi's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The wait list is 12-18 months. There's only a couple pre-reqs you have to have out of the way before you can take their entrance exam (the NET). After you take the NET, depending on how your grades...

  25. Should a nursing instructor tell a student they are not nursing material.

    ToxicShock replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    I didn't read all the posts so forgive me if this has already been said, but... I think it's important for an instructor (in any academic area) to tell a student that they are doing poorly if they...
