1. How do you tell when being an RN is not for your?

   myhalo replied to babblingbrook's topic in General Nursing

   OP, I was in the exact same situation you are in. The only difference is that when I went to my doc thinking I had ADHD I was prescribed Ritalin, that got me through another year in the NICU. I am...

2. In progress MSN... can't stand nursing theory... switching to PA school ASAP

   myhalo replied to algebra_demystified's topic in Post Graduate Students

   I agree with you about the theory classes.....gag me! I am just doing what I have to do to get through and learning what I need to on my own mostly. I considered changing programs but was not...

3. This can't be right...

   myhalo replied to pinkstudentnurse20's topic in General Nursing

   It might help if you look up what normal respiratory and heart rates are for a five year old child as you seemed focused on these "abnormal" findings. You will find that they differ greatly from the...

5. Should I go to the Dean?

   myhalo replied to 3perfectcats's topic in General Students

   I think you should go talk to the dean. In the program I was in they did not grade anyone's presentation until everyone had presented, and you got docked points for going over. Being succinct is...

6. Thinking About Surgical Technologist

   myhalo replied to Dottie78's topic in General Nursing

   First I would say if you want to be a nurse you should go for it. I am a single mom of three and have made it! Of course your husband would have to be supportive! If you are thinking of going to...

9. Grades don't matter!

   myhalo replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

   Sorry, I can't tell who you are saying would not make it in your program and who gave you the idea that they know how the tests are written...did I miss that?? I hope you were not directing that at...

10. Grades don't matter!

    myhalo replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    You seem to be a hateful person. Did I say I did not do well?? Unless you subscribe to the idea that one B is bad I guess!! I just said I hope her kids do not ever keep her from that late night of...

11. Grades don't matter!

    myhalo replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    You sound like a very driven person, I hope you continue to do well. You are very lucky that you have not had to sacrifice a night or two of studying for an exam for one of your children. I hope...

12. Grades don't matter!

    myhalo replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is a little harsh to say that they would not be good nurses and that you do not want them at your bedside. The groups you mentioned account for a lot of people!! I understand about those...

13. Grades don't matter!

    myhalo replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    Really? How much do they run? I have not heard of buying a grade, but I suppose it happens unfortunately! Now that is the nurse I do not want taking care of me or my family!! Things sound like they...

15. Grades don't matter!

    myhalo replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how to respond....ummm I guess you have a valid point, but I agree...not comparable!! Like I mentioned earlier though, not everyone is cut out for critical care!!! Hopefully those...
