Everything in life takes time. Believe me if your ultimate goal is to become an RN, don't rush it. Don't think it will happen over night. Even if takes you 2 years, so what, you'll, hopefully, be getting all the learning experience you need to become...

I'm sure she didn't mean to be calling him a "pig" per say but I was told many times as a child, by my mom, that my room looked like a pig lived in here! Act like a child, treated/scolded like a child.....#I'mjustsaying

Nice attention-getter headline!!!

OP, there will ALWAYS be rude people. I worked in customer service all my life and I've been yelled at, screamed at, called names, but did it bother me? NOPE! Just deal with it, Ok so he may have been rude to ask for your other seat but were you stil...

OP, thanks for "looking out" for our/your nurses although could have really been a totally different conversation.

Personally as a nursing student, I think new graduate nurses still have some false expectation about the whole nursing career. It is hard work and dedication required. Fortunately, I have held many positions in my life where if I was 1 min late to wo...

]Going into Med Surg :uhoh3:. Does anyone know of any supplemental books for Med Surg? I have Med Srug Demystified and I don't find that book helpful. Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated. :)

Thank you! I did hear about this book!!!

Tone of voice can carry a mix message, you just needed to get louder with him as well. Everything happens for a reason. At least you now have different options if you ever come across a similar situation. Oh by the way love the ..... "I am fine with ...

I've always found this website to be the best, by far! http://www.wisc-online.com/Objects/ViewObject.aspx?ID=GEN504 Hope it helps!

Thanks for all responses. I will look into each and decided from there. Appreciated! :up:

Flashcards! And take them with you even in the bathroom!

Similar for hotels - you have NO idea what kind of person slept in the bed before you and people usually ALWAYS have sexual relations in bed too! But what can you do! Oy vey!

Part of my clinicals were at an LTC and after giving one of the pts a bed bathe she did express how nice it would be to get a massage - I like giving massages however even if I did wanted to, you need to be a LMT in my state, am not.

Reapply.

OP: Looks like you'll be working REALLY REALLY hard! :)

Why not then go RN-MSN? Skip BSN! unless that's what you want.

There are RN-MSN programs out there. Maybe that would work out better for you? Unless you've already started BSN courses.

Actually if you're going to nurse, you need to start practicing moral and ethical values from now - you don't want to be posting the same question 3 years from now asking .."I gave the patient the wrong medication although it didn't harm him/her, sho...

Well said! I come from 15 years customer service management experience, and there are truly right and wrong ways to handle any situation even in the field of nursing. Even during my clinical rotations, I close my eyes saying to myself "I just did not...

What would look on your resume is taking and passing the NCLEX - otherwise nothing else really matters. I'm just saying! Good luck! :)

I have a hate love relationship.

I'm a nursing student, haven't regret it. Good luck!

I live in South Florida - very diverse community, and I have helped some of my friends (nursing students), where English is their second language, with their writing-style, grammar, etc. So it may very well be a foreign student, nonetheless, at least...

For the love of nursing. That's how I became attracted! :)
