  2. Manoa Spring 2010 Admissions

    petunia2016 replied to P-LuDe's topic in General Nursing

    Like frow, I just started my first semester at Manoa. I didn't have Pharmacology under my belt yet (I took it over the summer), and I didn't have statistics either, just the basic prereqs needed to...

  3. A physican where I work called a patient a "FAT PIG!"

    petunia2016 replied to JomoNurse's topic in General Nursing

    If you read the original post, the lady was already back with her family. So of course they weren't anxious

  4. Feeling Homesick

    petunia2016 replied to jerrycRN's topic in General Nursing

    A friend of mine moved away to Texas to work in a hospital. After eight months there, she had to move back for a family emergency. She was able to get a job on the Big Island. I think it depends...

  5. Level of intelligence

    petunia2016 replied to Divest's topic in General Nursing

    Some of this I didn't quite understand. I think you're telling me I shouldn't pick on the OP's spelling? I know a staff member already pointed this out, but the post was all about...

  6. Level of intelligence

    petunia2016 replied to Divest's topic in General Nursing

    Also, I don't know what you're basing these judgments on, but if it was one simple exchange with one person, it could be that person was just having a bad day. I understand the original point you...

  7. Level of intelligence

    petunia2016 replied to Divest's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, man, I needed a good laugh today! Reading the original post made me laugh on the inside, but the rest made me lol! This is a gem. Especially grammer. Haha.

  8. Paying for Nursing School

    petunia2016 replied to cheertt2's topic in General Nursing

    I'm paying for mine with the Pell grant, Stafford loans, and lots of scholarships. And I do mean lots. As for you, it really depends on your situation. How old are you? Do your parents still claim...

  9. Affairs rampant among nurses?

    petunia2016 replied to sugarbush's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, agreed. People who see each other daily form close bonds. I've gotten a loving partner and many, many wonderful friendships out of my places of employment. Sure, there are affairs in the...

  11. ETOH/heroin/cocaine=GOOD times!! :)

    petunia2016 replied to MizzLizz's topic in General Nursing

    i agree with pretty much everything you say, but i think that people who disagree with this sort of treatment of patients should be free to voice their feelings as well. i especially agree with the...

  13. ETOH/heroin/cocaine=GOOD times!! :)

    petunia2016 replied to MizzLizz's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, where is everyone getting the idea that people who are upset with the post feel they are better than others? The OP has put herself out there on a public forum, and people are free to agree or...

  14. If you could no longer work as a nurse, what would you do?

    petunia2016 replied to LockportRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would be a writer, or go back to school and major in English. Or both.

  15. ETOH/heroin/cocaine=GOOD times!! :)

    petunia2016 replied to MizzLizz's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: i am a student as well, and i hope that i never have the same jaded, cynical attitude as some of these more "experienced nurses". i get that dealing with certain people is difficult, but...

  16. ETOH/heroin/cocaine=GOOD times!! :)

    petunia2016 replied to MizzLizz's topic in General Nursing

    the tone of this whole post bothered me. i can understand that you're frustrated dealing with drug addicts on a regular basis, but when you say that "when you're just minding your business, trying to...

  17. Essay for Orientation-Manoa BSN Fall '09

    petunia2016 replied to worf's topic in General Nursing

    I think the essay is actually for our 300 course, but I could be wrong. I was confused because I thought I read that we were going to do the essay at orientation. See you guys

    petunia2016 replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    Heehee, I though maybe it was a term I wasn't aware of. Freudian

  19. Hungry Nurse or Troublemaker?

    petunia2016 replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with everyone else. That's a lawsuit waiting to happen. Two of the companies I worked for previously were sued for forcing workers to work through their lunch break. We're talking millions...

  20. What was the toughest pre-req you took?

    petunia2016 replied to Ted D's topic in General Nursing

    Oops, I reread your reply from earlier in the thread and saw that you ARE fluent in Spanish. There ya go! Not helpful for Waikiki, for sure, but very helpful in

  22. Need Japanese language skills?

    petunia2016 replied to BigIsleBound's topic in General Nursing

    Then I would recommend learning Spanish. Japanese would be great for Oahu, but not so much for Kona/Kealakekua. There are many, many Hispanic immigrants there, and a lot of them speak not a word of...

  23. Need Japanese language skills?

    petunia2016 replied to BigIsleBound's topic in General Nursing

    Don't get me wrong, I loved living in Kona. The people there are wonderful. The scenery is beautiful. I just wouldn't want to work in Kona Hospital. And everything is expensive there, not just...

  24. Need Japanese language skills?

    petunia2016 replied to BigIsleBound's topic in General Nursing

    I'm from Kona. Kona is actually pretty expensive as well, Hilo is cheaper. And Kona Hospital? That's the worst hospital on the whole island. My friend commutes to Waimea just to work there. But...
