  3. Not even a word of English

    tothepointeLVN replied to MomRN0913's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My MIL speaks only Spanish. She has lived here since the 1960's. The area where she lives makes it easy to not learn English and her children will translate for her when necessary. It's a comfort...

  6. Community college has a 7% graduation rate...

    tothepointeLVN replied to Kadambari's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. Misogyny in Nursing

    tothepointeLVN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've been a victim of bullying and I've BEEN a bully but most bullies don't self identify as being bullies. Anyone who has read any of my post would know I don't subscribe to fairytales but if you...

  10. How can I get a nursing evaluation from current employer?

    tothepointeLVN replied to 50kn's topic in Home Health

    Y'know I came across this the other day with a job lead that was mailed to me by one of the job sites. It was for a flu shot clinic position but they wanted this "Two (2) employer references which...

  11. Need a little help from all the Los Angeles area nurses.

    tothepointeLVN replied to Klgreen1973's topic in California Nursing

    The Beach Cities are nice as is the Torrance/Southbay area. I'm not a big fan of the Valley since driving anywhere from there is a big ordeal. Commuting from Torrance/Southbay to the 3 places you...

  12. Community college has a 7% graduation rate...

    tothepointeLVN replied to Kadambari's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. Indiscriminate Empathy?

    tothepointeLVN replied to tothepointeLVN's topic in General Nursing

    True but when I was in nursing school it was thrown around a lot. "I don't like salsa on my tacos." "Well I would hate to have you as my nurse."

  14. Community college has a 7% graduation rate...

    tothepointeLVN replied to Kadambari's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to admit there is one nursing class I dropped 3 times just missing the W deadline but it was a fashion sketching class so doesn't really count LOL. I know there are a lot of students that are...

  15. Community college has a 7% graduation rate...

    tothepointeLVN replied to Kadambari's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is primarily the reason why and some that is causing the budget crunch and class impaction to be even worse that they normally would be. They can't turn anyone away but the state colleges can so...

  16. DON a big borderline?

    tothepointeLVN replied to NocturneNrse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's ok I understand why people uses those terms because it's an adjective you can use to simply describe the behavior and I did easily understand your point. Though I wonder if your DON is the...

    tothepointeLVN replied to michelle.duncan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's not digging into someone's luggage or putting someone down it's called providing context. You came out posting about how unkind the previous posters were and how YOU were going to help her if no...

  18. Misogyny in Nursing

    tothepointeLVN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Again you read into my statement what you wanted to hear in order to validate your viewpoint. What I actually said was that people are inheriently good. They think they are doing the right thing but...

  20. Failed Rn boards 4 times

    tothepointeLVN replied to michelle.duncan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    what really bothers me is that they would allow someone to sit for a completely different license after failing to pass the boards for the license they were actually trained for. it's not necessarily...

  21. Feeling broken and there's no way out...

    tothepointeLVN replied to RNRichi's topic in Emergency

    Part of the reason that your crying on the way home is because this isn't a new field for you. It should be just a step up the rung but your feeling all that newness and arkwardness and it feels...

  22. Feeling broken and there's no way out...

    tothepointeLVN replied to RNRichi's topic in Emergency

  23. DON a big borderline?

    tothepointeLVN replied to NocturneNrse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm confused to. I have to state I despise when people use mental illness labels loosely like this. It hurts people who actually do have that diagnosis. I've been hearing "so and so is so bipolar" a...

    tothepointeLVN replied to Kadambari's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    tothepointeLVN replied to michelle.duncan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You don't care for my comments but you'll easily label me judgmental and narrow minded in every aspect of my life? You identify with the OP because you are in the same position. No surprise there. I...
