  4. Am I Being Too Sensitive

    If it was her desk or she is the director of the admissions department, I think she has the right to dictate who can answer the phone. It doesn't sound like the interaction went well on either side...
  5. Is this kind of DON the norm in this profession

    You sound like you have an attitude. If the DON "asked" instead of directed, she would be giving the nurses the impression that they could say no, which of course they can't. How can you run a...

    Even with the new nursing job issues, I still think nursing is a smart field to be in. It's a tough time for anyone out there with no experience at something. But if you get your nursing degree, you...
  11. I wish I got 4-6 hours a night. I worked 30 hours/week while in nursing school. It caused me to be very sleep deprived. If you don't have to work, you shouldn't have to worry. I would go to work...
  12. Instructor won't keep hands to self

    I don't know, I put up with a lot of stuff because generally the school is going to support their instructors. But if ANYONE is patting my bottom and there are witnesses, I think I would have to go...

  14. A&P I ......3x!?!?!?

    You have to make sure you really have the time and focus to make it work. If you think A&P is tough, wait til you get into your first semester of the nursing program. It feels like boot camp and...
  15. How to Pay for 2nd Degree?!?!
