  1. Nursing school is awful in so many ways....

    caffeineRx replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Students

    Thanks Katie. I'm here to stay for a while. Had to vent though because it's really sad to see so much of this nonsense in a field like this!

  2. Nursing school is awful in so many ways....

    caffeineRx replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Students

    I'm not one to demean people, but I tell it like it is. Some of the people I go to school with are idiots. They freak out when they are given an essay...yet they don't care if the teacher is REALLY...

    caffeineRx replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Students

    LOL. Apparently she dislikes others who think outside of the box. She is entitled to her opinion :). I am also curious to know what personality type is set to succeed. If you ask me, summersent seems...

  4. Nursing school is awful in so many ways....

    caffeineRx replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Students

    You know, I think you're right. At first glance I can see why people might brush my post off as typical. I'm sure the majority of nursing schools out there are cruddy, like mine, to some degree. I...

  5. Nursing school is awful in so many ways....

    caffeineRx replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Students

    You HIT me to the CORE summersent. Your reply was like the little voice on my left shoulder. I have been trying to brush it off, thinking that perhaps I'm just allowing the stress to get the best of...

    caffeineRx replied to lpn4nowrn42012's topic in New York Nursing

    Thanks NurseGuy! I will definitely look into that. I'm sick to death of my

  7. Nursing school is awful in so many ways....

    caffeineRx replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Students

    I totally wish that was possible. I'm not sure where to start. These people have quite the mentality and not a lot of shame when it comes to cheating, mooching, and starting drama. My school is in The...

  8. Nursing school is awful in so many ways....

    caffeineRx replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Students

    What I would GIVE to be there! Not because I feel it's "easy". I don't expect or want nursing school to be easy...I'm just in utter shock that the stress I deal with is such fickle B.S. It's totally...

  9. Nursing school is awful in so many ways....

    caffeineRx replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Students

    YES!!!! LOL. I like that. Friends though? Nah..not happening for me. There is one lady I really like in my program..but we lead different lives and she is about 20 years older than me.

  10. Depressed about nursing

    caffeineRx replied to StudentOnceAgain's topic in General Nursing

    This disgusts me. I hear this is common. Not even so much the act of the actual spitting, but the fact that these are "normal" patients who are putting you at risk to catch whatever they might have...

  11. LPN-ADN online or distance programs?

    caffeineRx replied to caffeineRx's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, I think the South does start at RN level. It would be great if they had an LPN-RN program

  12. Closed Unit cliques ...how do I deal with it ????

    caffeineRx replied to coffee4metech's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I highly suggest against this, unless it is just to make them fat.

  13. Can RNs really make this much?

    caffeineRx replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Nursing

    That is not the norm @ ALL, but yes, it is possible. Also, $50/hr is STILL not enough for what nurses have to go through. I'd hate to be one of the people that got into it purely for money. It's not...

  14. LPN-RN online & then on to RN-BSN

  15. LPN-ADN online or distance programs?

    caffeineRx replied to caffeineRx's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Also, I am interested in Southern University, but I don't see an LPN-RN program anywhere.

  16. Closed Unit cliques ...how do I deal with it ????

    caffeineRx replied to coffee4metech's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm SO sorry. Do you happen to live in NYC?

  17. LPN-RN online & then on to RN-BSN

    caffeineRx replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Commuter. I cannot find it when I go onto Phoenix's website. I am looking at WG right now :). I'm just so tired of the abuse from our school. I'm paying over $23,000 a year to go there and it's...

  18. Nobody Likes A Tattle Tail

    caffeineRx replied to sassyrn333's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry!..but I am going to HAVE to agree that this happens more in "female-based" professions. It just does. I have worked with men before, they are not perfect, but they seem more direct. It's also...

    caffeineRx replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh. Well that's good to know @ least!

    caffeineRx replied to deftonez188's topic in General Nursing

    I can relate to your sympathy. I think you are depressed and anxious...nursing school seems to do that to

  24. Looking for NLN studying partner in NYC!

    caffeineRx replied to lpezzolato's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I already took it. Can I ask how you feel a study partner would help? Just curious because I did not have that when I studied for mine..and I still have yet to organize a study group..in my entire...

  25. Is nursing REALLY for you?

    caffeineRx posted a topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you are all obviously nurses at this point :)..but I'm wondering...pure honesty..do you feel nursing is really for you? I know that many people find out that nursing is not for them...and some...
