1. What advice to give?

   blueharlequin replied to DNS on the go's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

   Just skimmed through some of these posts. I wanted to add something I think is kind of important (because I'm a second degree RN student in the same boat). You said several made the comment they...

2. Are most people just against nursring as a profession?

   blueharlequin replied to 1moretime's topic in General Students

   There are certainly doctors that have no bedside manners. I don't doubt that for a moment. That was my point with "constantly being at the bedside wouldn't be an enjoyable kind of care for them."...

3. Are most people just against nursring as a profession?

   blueharlequin replied to 1moretime's topic in General Students

   Old thread, but I thought this was interesting and wanted to comment. I hate saying this about a support system, but don't listen to your family. While there are some rights the profession of nursing...

   good grades has always been important for me, too, but at least you are dealing with an a and a b. my grades have all been right around 75, which is the lowest we can get and still pass. i've followed...

5. So besides nursing school, what do you all do in your spare time?

   blueharlequin replied to i<3u's topic in General Students

   This is one aspect of school I haven't really been able to figure out. I started working harder, reading every word of the assigned chapters (after the professor's suggestion of skimming didn't help),...

   Haha! Your patient wins. I hope you bring him a toy light

7. A vet tech as a nurse ?

   blueharlequin replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

   I'm another "former vet tech" to add to the list, though not for anywhere near as long. I have to agree with past vet tech experience helping out in nursing school. But I also never would have claimed...

8. I don't enjoy nursing school...

   blueharlequin replied to jxlab's topic in General Students

   This is something rather bothersome to me, as well (job prospect). I spent 4 years after getting my BA dealing with minimum wage, part time jobs or temp jobs that never resulted in hires. Meanwhile,...

9. I don't enjoy nursing school...

   blueharlequin replied to jxlab's topic in General Students

   I'm actually in the identical position, though for different reasons. I already have a BA, though after graduating in 2006 and having a pointless degree, I couldn't get any kind of job that wasn't...

10. Feeling lonely

    blueharlequin replied to Al.ginger's topic in General Students

    It's not a mistake at all. It's just cultural differences. I'm actually more annoyed by American attitudes regarding this. There is such a big deal in America about being culturally tolerant and...

11. Feeling lonely

    blueharlequin replied to Al.ginger's topic in General Students

    I actually have a Russian lady in my lab/clinical group. It's exciting for me because I've studied the Russian language (only 3 years, so not fluent, and sadly less fluent now because it's been a...

12. Patient abandenment and mandatory overtime

    blueharlequin replied to MelissaLPN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    It's been a month, so hopefully things have been resolved, but I wanted to add. If they aren't paying you overtime for an hourly job, then I think that's actually illegal. And if you look at that...

    blueharlequin replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Wow, if you have the opportunity to go without incurring any debt, don't pass up on that opportunity at all! Sometimes if a private school REALLY wants you and you tell them you are considering...

14. Does it matter which school to take pre-reqs- PLEASE HELP

    blueharlequin replied to MsCRC's topic in Georgia Nursing

    This is VERY good advise that I wanted to second and add to. I'm at GTC and I already have a BA, but they wouldn't accept any of my coursework for GE's (and I got my BA in 2006, so I don't think it...

15. GTC 2011?

    blueharlequin replied to blueharlequin's topic in Georgia Nursing

    For some reason I haven't been getting any email notifications about activity here. Maybe they're going to my junk mail and I don't notice, but odd still. Anyway, TiaRN, that is EXTREMELY reassuring....
