  1. Narcissistic Personality Disorder

    whichone'spink replied to grandmawrinkle's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes I wonder if at least half the DSM is a crock of (fecal matter). Oh boy, I'm not going to have a good time in psych

  2. All electronics banned?

    whichone'spink replied to betakurt's topic in General Students

    I've typed notes in other classes, but for some reason, I have never hauled my laptop into any of my nursing classes. Part of it may be because the lecture slides are posted on Blackboard and I take...

  3. Have anxiety issues over making friends

    whichone'spink replied to krazykchan's topic in General Students

    Oh don't worry about it. You will bond with people during group projects and during clinicals because you're all going through the same thing. And even if you don't become BFF with anyone, you'll at...

    whichone'spink replied to betakurt's topic in General Students

    I took off my Facebook account for some time, but brought it back. As long as it's used in moderation, it's

  5. All electronics banned?

    whichone'spink replied to betakurt's topic in General Students

    Cellphones are supposed to be turned off during class, otherwise if it goes off, the student has to bring breakfast for a whole class of 60+ students. Last semester, the instructor's phone rang, and...

  6. Fiber and how it effects the GI Tract

    whichone'spink replied to bd4411sa's topic in General Nursing

    I concur. Nowadays, information is so easy to find, and Google should be used first before

  7. Can nursing student working at the doctor's office perform blood draw?

    whichone'spink replied to miniangel729's topic in General Students

    Eek. Unless you work as a tech and your scope includes skills that you've learnt in nursing school, don't ask to do those skills and put your foot down when your employer asks you to do such

  8. They bumped up our minimum passing grade point average...

    whichone'spink replied to semester1kid's topic in General Students

    My personal cut off is an 80, but my schools cut off is

  9. Can you live a luxury lifestyle as a nurse?

    whichone'spink replied to trustabdy's topic in General Nursing

    As an MD, yes. I doubt as an RN, unless I was married to an MD. In any case, screw luxury. I'm fine with living within my means. The only luxury item I want is a Tesla electric

  10. Not smart enough to be a doctor?

    whichone'spink replied to AprilRNurse's topic in General Nursing

    And if I was smarter, I would stay away from all of

  11. Dear well-meaning friends and family members: the rantings of a jobless new grad

    whichone'spink replied to R!XTER's topic in General Nursing

    I keep wanting to conceal the fact that I am a nursing student, but I still spill the beans. Oh well. I know for sure that when I go abroad this winter, I will just say that I am a biology major. I...

  12. Do you consider yourself a "highly sensitive person" ?

    whichone'spink replied to Gentle Giant's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah, I had a big problem with that last semester. It hurt me later, because I didn't get the chance to perform any skills that I learnt in lab. Other students were asked before I was because my...

  13. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    whichone'spink replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, threatening to keep coming to the ER until you are admitted to the hospital will not get you admitted sooner if at all. And please don't steal our wheelchair if you want to

  14. Now tetanus booster...

    whichone'spink replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    Tetorifice shot was required for my school. I can still remember the soreness from that freaking shot.

  15. Why nursing?

    whichone'spink replied to samantha18's topic in General Nursing

    I would rather help people navigate through this crazy healthcare system, and that can't really be done as a doctor. A doctor is stuck in his or her specialty after putting so much time and money,...

  16. Assessing Each Other??!??

    whichone'spink replied to FutureMaleOhioNurse's topic in General Students

    I did health assessments on other classmates for all systems, except the GU system

  17. Honors BSN unable to find job. Can the college be sued?

    whichone'spink replied to Tankweti's topic in General Nursing

    I have nothing more to add except calm down and focus on getting a job. Nursing grads have a better time than other grads at this

  18. How do nurse clinical usually work?

    whichone'spink replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    In my school, we did skills first before we were assigned to our units. Skills took up half the semester and the other half was spent in clinicals. My school has 8-hour shifts, morning and

  19. Who's ready to start Med-Surg?

    whichone'spink replied to Cherish's topic in General Students

    I am ready for it. I look forward to learning how to start IVs, giving IV drugs (all except IV push), and maybe the chance to do skills I learnt last semester but didn't get the chance to do with...

  20. What kind of attitude does a nursing student need to succeed?

    whichone'spink replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    You need to be hard working, because you will be putting long hours in. You need to be organized because you have lots to do. You'll have tests at least every 2 weeks and you'll have papers to write....

  21. The End of Men

    whichone'spink replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't seen my school do anything specific to recruit

  22. Nursing Students or Student Nurses

    whichone'spink replied to Anoetos's topic in General Students

    I try to say student nurse, but sometimes I get so nervous, I may say nursing

  23. Ahhh....I'm afraid I lost all my skills from last year!

    whichone'spink replied to JBGC4's topic in General Students

    Because of this summer lull, I decided to take a 1 week practicum, with 8 hour days on a unit refreshing on what I did last semester. Maybe this time, I can actually perform skills that I didn't get...

  24. When did patients become "clients"?

    whichone'spink replied to woahmelly's topic in General Nursing

    In my care plans, I always used the word "patient", and thankfully I didn't get ragged on for using that word. In the hospital, "patient" is a perfectly acceptable word to use. I would only use the...

  25. Just tell your boss your Facebook updates increases your productivity

    whichone'spink replied to fungez's topic in General Nursing

    I deleted my profile for sometime too because that fing Farmville game just became too much. Now it's back and I no longer play that stupid
