    Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

    Anoetos replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Nursing Student and Student Nurse are interchangeable. I think the latter is more common in clinical settings because of the perceptual value to the patient. In the former, you're perceived as a...

    Psychiatric Background Check For First Degree BSN

    Anoetos replied to natasharostova's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My favorite novel is "The Magic Mountain" by Thomas Mann. It's about a guy who goes to visit his cousin in a TB asylum in Switzerland and ends up staying for seven years. Great

    Psychiatric Background Check For First Degree BSN

    Anoetos replied to natasharostova's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If there were a psych exam for nursing school, they'd be empty. We're all a little unhinged. Don't worry about it, and I hope you are doing better. BTW, great name, "War and Peace" is justly...

    Anoetos replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    It's funny, I thought of this same thing. I do not hear my colleagues saying this. I know that I never would because I am terribly superstitious and weighed down with a bad case of impostor syndrome...

    Kristen, I think you're right. I certainly don't think they are purposely arrogating an honor to themselves that they have not earned. The majority of them probably don't know any better, but there...

    Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

    Anoetos replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    In order to try and be balanced about this, let me say that I have the same basic attitude toward people who say they are nursing students before they have ever set foot in a nursing class as I do of...

    Actually, in most schools, your major is NOT nursing until you have been accepted. In most schools, before you are accepted, your major is "Health Professions - Pre-Nursing" or some variation

    As funny as BeKindtoKitten's hypothetical scenario was, it was also VERY hypothetical, so hypothetical in fact that, for most it verged on unlikely. In one way it was a little insulting to Bob, and I...

    what textbook do you use?

    Anoetos replied to milksteak's topic in General Students

    Fundamentals of Nursing, Corrected - With CD, DVD, and Study Guide Required • Edition: 7TH 09 • Potter, Patricia A. ISBN: 9780323067911 But it's only $175 from our store so make sure it's

    what textbook do you use?

    Anoetos replied to milksteak's topic in General Students

    Potter & Perry. Lots of typos and long, multiple-comma sentences, making it a bit unwieldy. It's well organized but not particularly consistent in the ways it explains things upon return to them....

    Clients? Are they no longer patients?

    Anoetos replied to bassadict69's topic in General Students

    that makes sense, clients have advocates, there is a clear, natural relationship there which is not seen as easily when they are called patients. but this is just semantics, really. my school is not...

    I consider your kudos to Heinz, who did use the expression an implicit endorsement of it's use. Be that as it may, I think this conversation has run it's course, at least as far as I am concerned. If...

    Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

    Anoetos replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I withdrew the comment. The point was that with your charges of "elitism" and now "delusions of grandeur", your penchant for demonization is, apparently, incapable of containment. You can't...

    Anoetos replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    It's pretty cut and dried: if you've been accepted into a nursing program, you are a nursing student. If you haven't, you aren't, regardless of what your intentions are. Despite hysterical charges of...

    Anoetos replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Way to poison the well. What comments are "elitist"? Was it when we said that people shouldn't call themselves what they are

    If I were in a Law program it certainly would. But you're putting up a bit of a straw man here. Speaking for myself it's not like I go into a tizzy every time someone misrepresents themselves, but if...

    I am not sure that venting on a message board is necessarily proof that anyone has "dogged" anyone. In the example that I gave I was not spluttering with indignation or anything, I just had a...

    Agreed. We're at 45 students out of about 400 applications in my BSN program. Just over

    CuriousMe, I think you missed all the options. Anyway, you may very well be a better person than I and the majority of Student Nurses are. I hope you

    This is a great point. Everyone hears about how they cannot possibly prepare for what NS is like and if they are like me they think that this does not really apply to them. Then, if and when they get...
