    Darjeeling22 replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in General Nursing

    BA in theatre, three years working in professional theatre and then six years working in adult literacy and ESL -- started as an educator, moved into administration. Now in second year of an ADN...

  2. Going by your middle name -- problematic?

    Darjeeling22 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello everyone, Looking for licensed nurses in a similar situation. My parents decided, for whatever reason, to bring me up using my middle name instead of my first. I can't think of any time in 30+...

    Darjeeling22 replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Students

    This is fantastic! I'm going to point the others in my class towards this post, and I'll definitely be downloading any others you come up with. Thank you VERY

  5. Losing motivation to study, any tips??

    Darjeeling22 replied to Newbiestudent18's topic in General Nursing

    I'm about to start my second semester as well. Coming from an education background, I've found that it helps me to absorb material if I explain it to someone else. I have two other people in my class...

  6. How to ace an interview and get hired if you're a new graduate with no experience?

    Darjeeling22 replied to willowRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was a recruiter and assistant hiring manager for several years. This was a non-medical company, but much of what advice I'd give is universal when trying to get a job. I second, third, and...

  7. How to find volunteer work on Christmas Day

    Darjeeling22 replied to GoodNP's topic in General Nursing

    Very hard to find volunteer things on Christmas Eve/Day here as well. The closest soup kitchen open then is over 300 miles away. The local Hospice organization has been the only place so far that has...

  8. Patients and the race card

    Darjeeling22 replied to CanadaEh's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I didn't particularly get "anti-white" as a subtext in the first replies, either. I had to ask for clarification myself because I've heard the term "play the race card" used in a second sense: When...

    Gracious, I explained about

  10. Patients and the race card

    Darjeeling22 replied to CanadaEh's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not sure who Kanye is, so the comparison's unfortunately lost. I really don't, however, see a line between a long-weary struggle with racial identity and whether people are stupid or not. I'm in...

  12. Patients and the race card

    Darjeeling22 replied to CanadaEh's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    To highlight that racial back-and-forth isn't solely a black and white (pardon the pun)

  13. Patients and the race card

    Darjeeling22 replied to CanadaEh's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If that is what the OP means, I've got this to say -- and I say it not as a nurse (I'm a student), but as a human being. I live in an area whose population has shocked me at times with blatantly...

  14. Patients and the race card

    Darjeeling22 replied to CanadaEh's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What exactly do you mean by the 'race card'? Call me obtuse. But as a "minority" (I detest that term) myself, I don't want to assume that I know what this means to someone

  15. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    Darjeeling22 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Ah, thank you for the

  16. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    Darjeeling22 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Is this true? From what my instructors have told us, starting in 2015 all new NPs will be required to hold a PhD. NPs already working with a master's degree would be grandfathered

  17. "Nurses don't make judgments"...do they?

    Darjeeling22 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a first-year student, and we had an interesting question on a test the other day. It asked what was an example of teaching that a nurse can do. One answer (exact wording changed to protect the...

  18. "Nurses don't make judgments"...do they?

    Darjeeling22 replied to Darjeeling22's topic in General Nursing

    jjjoy -- that's exactly the thing that got me! I was wondering why on earth I'd be flooding the patient with words like 'bruits' when I didn't seem to have a reason to (hadn't even listened yet!)....

  19. "Nurses don't make judgments"...do they?

    Darjeeling22 replied to Darjeeling22's topic in General Nursing

    Oh also, llg -- this is an ADN program. Pardon me, forgot to answer that

  20. "Nurses don't make judgments"...do they?

    Darjeeling22 replied to Darjeeling22's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the guidance, everyone. A lot of what everyone's saying makes sense (and thank you ukstudent -- it helped immensely to think of it that way). Separating out 'normal' as a subjective...

  21. Pharmacology/Pathophysiology Comics!

    Darjeeling22 replied to nurseology411's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Would love to see them too, but looks like you have to be an invited

  22. what textbook do you use?

    Darjeeling22 replied to milksteak's topic in General Students

    We're using Kozier & Erb's Fundamentals of Nursing. I quite like it, and it has its own study guide with oodles of NCLEX-style questions and rationales to pick

  23. Age of graduates coming out of Nursing School!?

    Darjeeling22 replied to Blessed S.N.23's topic in General Students

    I'll be 31 at graduation. The oldest in our class will be 42, the youngest will be 23. I started "late", I guess you could say, but this is a second

  24. Worrying about getting into a nursing program in NY area. Need advice please!!

    Darjeeling22 replied to Lynn05's topic in New York Nursing

    For what it's worth, I spent all last summer talking to advisors at BSN programs around my area (Virginia/North Carolina) about the same topic. I wasn't quite done with all the pre-reqs for a...

  25. School Stethoscope Suggestions?

    Darjeeling22 posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Hey guys! I'm starting nursing school in 30 days (*panic*). We've got to buy a dual-head stethoscope before school starts, and I've been looking all over. Found loads and loads on various sites. Does...
