    Intern67 replied to Kim, HHRN's topic in General Nursing

  5. Struggling (very long)

    Intern67 replied to Penny82's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This sounds VERY familiar. If you want to keep working there, just keep doing the best you can. I used to feel exactly the same way you do about "needing more time." (I never took scheduled breaks...

    Intern67 replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    Given the attitude you have displayed thus far, I didn't expect you to agree at all. You can't have it both ways. You can bask in your superiority over your peers and your great relationship with...

    Intern67 replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    Judging from the tone of your posts, your issue is primarily about your attitude. Expressing exasperation at a fellow student or your clinical instructor is going to get you docked points. Even worse,...

    Intern67 replied to poppysmom's topic in General Students

    I would advise you to get your CNA certificate and put in some time working as a Nurse Assistant. (The starting wages for CNAs makes it practically a volunteer position so it's right up your alley!)...

  13. Attractive Students Being Hired First

    Intern67 replied to bioniclewoman's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, they do eventually run out of RNs who graduated from the Swedish Bikini Team! Dealing with bias toward more attractive competition is just part of being human. This is one of the reasons I chose...

  15. Nursing Student on 3rd Shift

    Intern67 replied to TL&(nursing)Care's topic in General Students

  17. skirts to work

    Intern67 replied to eternalbride's topic in General Nursing

    Might get some double takes if you are a guy! I believe the girls have the option to wear skirts in our program. No one does, but there are some older class pictures with a few of the women in skirts....

  18. Attractive Students Being Hired First

    Intern67 replied to bioniclewoman's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Interesting. But what about all the posts about young, attractive RNs getting abused and chewed up by the grizzled old vets? Are the HR managers hiring attractive nurses because it is more fun for...

  20. lpn, rn, and bsn

    Intern67 replied to jaylucky7's topic in General Students

  22. Hi, I need assistance.

    Intern67 replied to EduardoLugo's topic in General Students

    "Nursing assistant > registered nurse > nurse practioner. Sounds good? Or is there a better way ?" That's sort of how I'm doing it so it sounds good to me! Of course, it is a lot easier said...

  23. Question about me pursuing NURSING.?

    Intern67 replied to urbanspectre's topic in General Students
