  1. need some advice..

    Julie Reyes replied to NewNurse91D's topic in General Students

    I agree with her - I would like to know where you are having difficulties. Just because you think differently ("square peg") does not mean that you are not cut out to be a nurse. You just might need...

  2. starting nursing school with a baby

    Julie Reyes replied to peysmama14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Will you be just starting college and getting your basics out of the way, or are you starting nursing school? You can always take 1 class at a time, and see how it goes. You can add more classes if...

  3. The most annoying student

    Julie Reyes replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    He sounds like a scary guy. Like, someone who would end up on the evening news or CNN with some crazy incident. I would consider using pepper spray if he got in my personal space!

  4. advice on being written up when I dont think I should have been...

    Julie Reyes replied to anniegirl1988's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It sucks to get a write up, but what would suck worse is if you lose a patient down the road because you don't call the provider or a RR. Remember that patient's can turn on a dime, and if you have...

  5. Is the hard work worth it?

    Julie Reyes replied to StayOrthostatic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There were countless times I wanted to quit as well. My husband always told me that if it were easy, everyone would do it. The time goes by really fast, though. I did have to sacrifice a lot, but I...

  6. Burnout or just Cranky?

    Julie Reyes replied to NurseOnAMotorcycle's topic in Health, Stress Management

  7. When do you know it's time to give up? :/

    Julie Reyes replied to StudentN123's topic in General Students

    One of the things I did faithfully was to utilize the websites from the textbooks - there are often at least some nclex practice questions there, and 90% of the time, those questions were on the exam!...

  8. Am I going to suck as a nurse?

    Julie Reyes replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    I love what HappyWife said about not putting stock in what others think. I did that from what someone told me in high school and because of that, I didn't achieve my goals until I was in my 40's! I...

  9. Stressed

    Julie Reyes replied to branthebrat0789's topic in General Students

    Try not to think of it as being defeated. All of us have had to have our first experience at some point. We were all newbies. When you go to clinicals, tell your cohort that you would like to do a...

    Julie Reyes replied to sicunurse23's topic in Post Graduate Students

  13. University of South Alabama BSN-DNP Fall 2014

    Julie Reyes replied to sicunurse23's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey! We had a lot of people graduate this year! One thing I liked about the program is that I didn't have to pay out of state tuition, and it was actually cheaper than my bsn program. There are a...

  17. Devastated on First Write Up

    Julie Reyes replied to RNtoThe3rd's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think it is only natural to feel some sort of sinking feeling when something we do is wrong, even if by accident! I think it is a horrible feeling to get called to see the manager (I think I still...

    Julie Reyes replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in General Nursing

  22. Ebola- Quarantine/Quasi quarantine Yes or No?

    Julie Reyes replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I like and agree with some of what you are saying - it is a deadly virus, and we should use common sense. If I could financially afford being a volunteer, I certainly would go over and jump in the...
