UTMB Fall 2011 Applicants

lifelearningrn replied to chaos0058's topic in Texas Nursing

San Jacinto College.. I've got AP2, Micro in progress and will take chem over the summer. I had originally signed up for it but dropped because three science/lab classes were too much and I was...
UTMB Fall 2011 Applicants

lifelearningrn replied to chaos0058's topic in Texas Nursing

There are several students in my A/P2 class that applied to UTMB and none of them (including myself) have received an interview invitation or a rejection yet. I'm sure they are still getting this...
Nursing school Big mistake

lifelearningrn replied to Piglet68's topic in General Students

I agree there are some awesome nurses out there!! I really think how people are treated (or how happy they are in general) plays a huge role in how they behave on the job. If there is a floor full of...
Use of the title nurse

lifelearningrn replied to rn4life2009's topic in General Nursing

I agree with this.. the general public don't give a damn is the person rooming them, checking their vitals, taking history, ect ect is a MA, RN, LVN, CNA, etc... They are often simply referred to as...
Ive decided not to go ahead with nursing school...(Rad tech or RT)

lifelearningrn replied to jrt71's topic in General Nursing

I don't know that you're job prospect would be nearly as good as a nurse.. I hear some hospitals only use a few RTs for an entire hospital at a given time. And they probably don't need a ton of...
Another thread on lateral harassment...

lifelearningrn replied to Poi Dog's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

Sometimes you simply don't 'mesh' with a group of people. I don't think it means she's doing anything wrong. I've had a lot of jobs over the past 20+ years and most of them I fit in and got along...
Another thread on lateral harassment...

lifelearningrn replied to Poi Dog's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

It baffles me how adults can behave so immaturely and unprofessional. Why can't people grow the f**k up and act like human beings? I'd lodge my complaints to management and if nothing is done, I'd...
An RN with a Bachelors in Biology instead of BSN?

lifelearningrn replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

Perhaps.. Reading back it sounds worse than it seemed at the time.. My dad was there so that helped and like I said it wasn't always like that.. Both my parents passed when I was in my early to mid...
An RN with a Bachelors in Biology instead of BSN?

lifelearningrn replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

I didn't intend on casting you in an uncaring role, please forgive me if I came across that way. I understand addiction and actually understand exactly what you are talking about when you mention...
An RN with a Bachelors in Biology instead of BSN?

lifelearningrn replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

What about the minor siblings? Just forget about them? Or maybe she should call social services on her way out the door and let the system separate them and put them in foster homes that are likely...
An RN with a Bachelors in Biology instead of BSN?

lifelearningrn replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

In a previous post she expanded a little more on her family situation and it isn't perfect as it seems her mom has some self medicating and mental health issues she is dealing with. There are younger...
Being overly sensitive/overly emotional when dealing with patients

lifelearningrn replied to kynchanted's topic in General Nursing

While I think it may be harder for you to keep your emotions in check than others- I think such compassion and empathy for others will make you an excellent care giver making it a strength that will...
An RN with a Bachelors in Biology instead of BSN?

lifelearningrn replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

I have no intentions of allowing my kids to 'support' us when it's their time to go out in the world either. However, I still believe it's admirable that she wants to stay home and help with her...
An RN with a Bachelors in Biology instead of BSN?

lifelearningrn replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

Isn't university physics trig based? Which is harder? Lol I don't think I could wrap my head around an 8th grade physics class.. Let alone a college one!
Nurse Kept my Great Grandfathers wedding Ring

lifelearningrn replied to ladimandy's topic in Geriatric, LTC

Sorry- I misunderstood.. I still believe it's highly inappropriate to accept such an intimate gift.. Even if he is widowed.. It's his wedding ring. No
An RN with a Bachelors in Biology instead of BSN?

lifelearningrn replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

While I agree with this to a certain extent I have to ask, since when is it a terrible thing for a college student to live at home and help with the family? Seriously, there was a time in this country...
An RN with a Bachelors in Biology instead of BSN?

lifelearningrn replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

AS WITH ANY PROFESSION. Seriously, everyone, in every field, needs to learn how to manage their own perspective jobs. The OP didn't say they weren't interested in management, he or she is talking...
Lpn Or Rn?

lifelearningrn replied to bdlogo's topic in General Nursing

A lot of private doctor's offices in my area use LPNs instead of medical assistants for rooming. Not a bad gig for a year certificate program, if you ask me. My sister in an RN (ADN) working in a...
An RN with a Bachelors in Biology instead of BSN?

lifelearningrn replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

I've actually seen job openings state that a BSN is preferred but an RN with a B.S. in another field will be considered. Basically, saying you will not get the job without the B.S... but they'd prefer...
Nurse Kept my Great Grandfathers wedding Ring

lifelearningrn replied to ladimandy's topic in Geriatric, LTC

It is absolutely immoral to accept the wedding ring of a married man under any circumstance... The fact that it is highly unethical for her to accept and KEEP such an item just compounds that....
A disgruntled ex calling the bon on me.

lifelearningrn replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

Ah- I see and this may be entering 'muddy' territory. If I were you, I'd shut the account(s) down immediately. You really don't want anything controversial like that in writing that can be easily...
A disgruntled ex calling the bon on me.

lifelearningrn replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

Unless you're a prostitute, child molester, or doing other illegal activities, I can't imagine how the BON could have any say in what you do behind closed doors. It's not illegal to have premarital...
And you thought a thong beneath whites was bad...

lifelearningrn replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

She wouldn't have it there if she didn't enjoy showing it off. She's an attention seeker. A "look at me" type of person. She wants to show off.. just like 'tramp stamps'... most people put those...
I hate what's happening to nursing...

lifelearningrn replied to nyteshade's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

The whole 'customer service' thing bothers me to a degree. I do believe a nurse should strive to give the best care possible but I think it crosses the line when they want you reading from a script...
New Grad - ICU or L&D

lifelearningrn replied to wobbles007's topic in General Nursing

I agree with the others.. apply for both and let fate decide.
