  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...

  4. Getting very discouraged 2nd month into nursing school. help!

    blueharlequin replied to morningglory229's topic in General Students

    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),...

  6. My patient's idea of a Halloween costume

    blueharlequin replied to Cuddleswithpuddles's topic in Nursing Humor

    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...

  13. GTC 2011?

    blueharlequin posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    Is anyone applying for Gwinnett Tech's Fall 2011 RN program? I submitted my application back in October (I really wanted to have enough time in case anything happened). I'm still waiting on the...

  14. Best nursing school in GA?

    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...

  15. 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...

  16. 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....

  17. GTC 2011?

    blueharlequin replied to blueharlequin's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Lol, I also only applied to GTC. :) And I didn't even think about specialties. That's a really good point! Right now I'm just thinking ER work, but I've thought of becoming a nurse anaesthetician...

  18. GTC 2011?

    blueharlequin replied to blueharlequin's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I think comparing an AD to MSN versus an AD to BSN has a number of factors involved. Without doing any research into it, I would probably say just go for the MSN. A higher degree typically qualifies...

  19. GTC 2011?

    blueharlequin replied to blueharlequin's topic in Georgia Nursing

    There was a New Balance shoe store at a shopping mall (called The Forum, I think) in Norcross (I'm not sure if it's a Norcross address, but we always went down Peachtree Ind. toward Norcross to get...

  20. GTC 2011?

    blueharlequin replied to blueharlequin's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I've been wondering this myself, actually. If you all don't post it on this forum, can you email me as well? Well, more than wondering, I've been a bit worried about hearing these accounts. So a...

  21. GTC 2011?

    blueharlequin replied to blueharlequin's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Oh, cool, so I can get plain white New Balance tennis shoes? I have a really hard time finding shoes that don't cut into my feet around the heel (on top of having large, flat, and wide feet), so that...

  22. GTC 2011?

    blueharlequin replied to blueharlequin's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Were those the only books you needed the entire program? How many books were in the main textbook bundle? That doesn't sound bad at all in terms of cost. Well, sounds about right for college...

  23. GTC 2011?

    blueharlequin replied to blueharlequin's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Where did you get it/what did you get it in (just curious...I understand if you don't want to put where for the whole www to see )? Mine was about the same, but an out of state private college (I...

  24. GTC 2011?

    blueharlequin replied to blueharlequin's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Lol, I slid mine under the door, mailed it, and emailed Professor Gallogly telling her I did both. And I'm still paranoid they won't get it and something will go wrong.

  25. GTC 2011?

    blueharlequin replied to blueharlequin's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Yeah, I was kinda surprised at that estimate as well, but maybe it's overcompensating in order not to cause upset in the chance that it might cost a little
