  1. Beckfield college

    Me, SN replied to kurkowsa34's topic in General Nursing

    JohnRebel, I'm not sure if you are IN the field or looking to go to a college, but you are misinformed. Beckfield College is accredited. You CAN get a license in ANY state after graduating their ADN...

  2. New grad and NO JOBS!!

    Me, SN replied to Newgradtoo's topic in General Nursing

    I know the feeling. I looked up the topic because I was curious if this was just a regional thing or something the country is dealing with. My search led me to your post. I'm in Kentucky and we're...

  3. Beckfield college

    Me, SN replied to kurkowsa34's topic in General Nursing

    This is an old thread, but I found it searching for information on when Beckfield might be adding the bachelor's program, and if anyone else finds it, I feel like I need to say a few things too. I...

  4. Should the H1N1 Vaccine be mandatory for Healthcare Professionals?

    Me, SN replied to Brian's topic in Disaster Preparation

    NOW THAT IS SPIN! BRAVO! You only highlight what you want to pick apart in an effort to deem me ignorant. Did I not also say that we should be doling out masks?! Anyway, vaccinating HCW isn't enough...

  5. How many would consider leaving nursing if they had a similar or slightly higher pay.

    Me, SN replied to jean36's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a NEW nurse and I'd leave in a second if the job were easier or less messy for the same or slightly more money. I only went into nursing because I needed a career choice, I'm married and have a...

  6. 75 Questions on NCLEX, pass or fail?

    Me, SN replied to Lurksalot's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    When I think about that test I am still a little puzzled. 75 questions, almost all of them on the same topic, and I passed. But I walked out feeling like there was no way they could have accurately...

  7. Should the H1N1 Vaccine be mandatory for Healthcare Professionals?

    Me, SN replied to Brian's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I will not be getting the H1N1 shot this year or ever barring someone placing a gun to my head. And I WOULD give up my license if it were an ultimatum. I was forced to receive the Hepatitis...

  8. WANTED: Nursing student tidbits of advice

    Me, SN replied to KellRrn2b's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't advise on debinding your books. I can't tell you how many times I've needed to look in the index for something or pulled information from a section we weren't necessarily working on at the...

  9. I don't know what to do.

    Me, SN posted a topic in General Students

    I go to a private ASN school that sort of recycles its instructors (you have most instructors twice.) I had a seriously BAD experience with a clinical instructor I have had as a teacher in another...

  10. WANTED: Nursing student tidbits of advice

    Me, SN replied to KellRrn2b's topic in General Students

    From my own experience, I found that I wasted a lot of money in trying different things when the simplest things worked the best. I wouldn't waste money on a PDA. I bought the one my school offered...

  11. I don't know what to do.

    Me, SN replied to Me, SN's topic in General Students

    A long overdue update on this post: I didn't say anything. She did try her hardest to fail me, but I was persistent. She suggested I attend more clinicals than I was required to do and though nothing...

  12. Burned Out

    Me, SN replied to crazyNursingStudent1's topic in General Students

    I've been skipping my non-nursing classes, and getting the assignments for those non-nursng classes from other students, then turning them in via email to cut down on the time I have to be at the...

  13. I don't know what to do.

    Me, SN replied to Me, SN's topic in General Students

    I knew she was in the wrong. I feel INCREDIBILY HORRIBLE for giving the patient the medication without checking the MAR because I knew I should have. If I could go back (and I know I can't) I would...

  14. What makes NS so hard?

    Me, SN replied to JillFRN's topic in General Students

    It's not hard. Just time consuming. Anyone who spends sufficient time studying the material will get through it. It's when you don't have a lot of time that you struggle: moms, dads, the employed,...

  15. Infuriating Responses To Questions

    Me, SN replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    No, I do not have you confused with Bicster. I quoted Bicster, addressed the "quip" (read: insult) that he made, and then I addressed your assumption that I am generalizing. But whatever. As a...

  16. MEOW! Catty nursing students

    Me, SN replied to OldShoesRock's topic in General Students

    For anyone putting down the original poster for being upset about this, remember: we are all humans, not robots (also remember Maslow's hierarchy of needs). That said, I've learned not to gossip, but...

  17. Gay Nurses... help!

    Me, SN replied to quakerkid's topic in Male Nursing Students

    By that same token, I can tell you I know plenty of women with that same overly confident attitude who are heterosexual. One friend, in fact, offered her naked self to a be put on a 23 year old man's...

  18. Infuriating Responses To Questions

    Me, SN replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    One other thing! I have a particular instructor who never fails to remind the whole class what he earns. I assure you all, it's more than 50K. He teaches in more than 2 quarters (4 quarters to be...

  19. Infuriating Responses To Questions

    Me, SN replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    Wow. I'm glad YOU are not an instructor...especially MY instructor, because it's just SOOOO professional to talk that way to anyone. I think you take my award the same moment you proclaim to give it...

  20. do you ever just wanna yell..."Would you SHUT UP already???"

    Me, SN replied to coltsgrl's topic in General Students

    We don't go to the same school do we? lol Last quarter I had an instructor who's test questions were so hard, NO ONE got an A, and only a handful (in 80 students) got a B, and many people dropped out...

  21. Infuriating Responses To Questions

    Me, SN replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    I may not be as well educated as my instructors (in time that will come) and I may not have the experience yet (which will also come with time). But I don't consider them to be more intelligent than...

  22. Infuriating Responses To Questions

    Me, SN replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    So many high horses! Look, your professors aren't here, so no butt kissing is necessary. And sometimes people just don't get something. Sometimes if ONE little thing is answered or corrected, a whole...

  23. Need some fast help. (Nursing Dx)

    Me, SN posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have a paper due Friday and I am just getting hung up on the 5 priority diagnoses. Here's some info about my patient. He's a 30 year old caucasian male. He came into ER complaining of epigastric...

  24. Need some fast help. (Nursing Dx)

    Me, SN replied to Me, SN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My instructors teach that. They tell us we're supposed to show EMPATHY, not sympathy. I'm sorry, I didn't know that was something strictly taught at my school only. They tell us we're only supposed to...

  25. Double Bagging???

    Me, SN replied to JuRsEyGuRL's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    In what context is it used? I've been in school for over a year and I have never heard the term before. The only thing that comes to mind is putting on two pairs of gloves to clean up vomit or stool...
