  1. Work and pets?

    Horseshoe replied to nURse_dEZi's topic in General Nursing

    Oh no! Crossing my fingers he shows up

  2. Work and pets?

    Horseshoe replied to nURse_dEZi's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure why you are so set on having a "big dog." Smaller dogs can be just as loving and fun as big dogs. How much do you work? Do you work 12 hour shifts? Do you live with someone who is home...

  3. Can my school force me to do extra tests after i graduated before they schedule my nclex??

    Horseshoe replied to Mims84's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Seems to me that trying to fight this using a lawyer or working through the BON (good luck with that) would be more time consuming than just taking the

  4. Work and pets?

    Horseshoe replied to nURse_dEZi's topic in General Nursing

    I've had German Shepherds too, and I disagree that they don't need a good amount of

  5. The film: Vaxxed.

    Horseshoe replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    Conspiracy theorists don't care about science, factual data, or the sad truth that before the advent of vaccines, millions upon millions of people died from infectious

  6. Clipping nails at nurse's station

    Horseshoe replied to BillieP's topic in General Nursing

    What "appalls" one person or another is completely subjective. "Reasonable" is also a matter of opinion, not something with an indisputable definition. One can be upset about violence in the middle...

  7. I've always wanted to be nurse, but...

    Horseshoe replied to amberlayne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a 4.0 all during pre-nursing and into nursing school, and graduated with that GPA and Summa Cum Laude designation. For that honor, my hair began falling out in handfuls, I felt like I was on...

  8. Applying for nursing school on antidepressants

    Horseshoe replied to kristinamarie55's topic in General Students

    Where did you get that statistic? That's not even close to anything I have found. Antidepressants Aren't Taken By The Depressed; Majority Of Users Have No Disorder - See more at: All Topics |...

  9. Mildred Elley The Truth About What To Expect

    Horseshoe replied to Destined2BeANurse's topic in School, College Programs

    I agree with you. She stated "So here's the real truth about the LPN" program. That made it sound like to me that it either was a surprise, that she was mislead somehow about it, or something along...

  10. Why 1/2 normal saline?

    How

  11. Clipping nails at nurse's station

    Horseshoe replied to BillieP's topic in General Nursing

    Why should we have to choose? I submit that we are required to deal with poop. Not so with nurses doing personal grooming on the clock and at the nurses station, which is also often a more "public"...

  12. Work and pets?

    Horseshoe replied to nURse_dEZi's topic in General Nursing

    Some breeds of dogs were specifically bred as working dogs. These dogs get really unhappy if they don't perform a function. I'm thinking GS would fall into that category. I can't imagine leaving a...

  13. Clipping nails at nurse's station

    Horseshoe replied to BillieP's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. It wouldn't totally gross me out, but it's not at all appropriate

  14. Work and pets?

    Horseshoe replied to nURse_dEZi's topic in General Nursing

    I would not get a big dog that needs lots of exercise if you work full time and there is no one at home to serve as trainer, walker, and companion. Puppyhood is a critical time where you need to be...

  15. Clipping nails at nurse's station

    Horseshoe replied to BillieP's topic in General Nursing

    An errant ragged nail, okay, but sitting there clipping one's nails while on the clock? Don't tell me they don't have something else productive they could be

  16. The Story of Jahi Continues

    Horseshoe replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    I can't either. It has made national news many times. Each time the family does something new and kind of outrageous, major media outlets report on it. It is a fascinating and yes, tragic and sad...

  17. Would you report possible diversion?

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    That is exactly what the OP did, and it's exactly what many posters encouraged her to do. She never said she was going to insist he was diverting, and people supporting her never told her to accuse...

  18. The Story of Jahi Continues

    Horseshoe replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    Wow, haven't seen that word used in ages, lol.

  19. Would you report possible diversion?

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Gotta love autocorrect, lol. So what's the deal with all the extra OT being a sign of a nurse who is diverting? Is it simply that they want to increase the amount of time they have access to the...

  20. I didn't get into Nursing School!! Help!!

    Horseshoe replied to Jordan1927's topic in General Students

    There are a whole lot of programs she won't get into with that GPA. It doesn't matter that she is smart and capable if the school is using GPA as a major criteria. She probably needs to retake the...

  21. Would you report possible diversion?

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    The OP said the nurse HAD a history of his license being restricted, not that he is now working with a restricted

  22. I didn't get into Nursing School!! Help!!

    Horseshoe replied to Jordan1927's topic in General Students

    It is a low GPA if the average GPA of accepted students is 3.5 or

  23. Would you report possible diversion?

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I believe his license was restricted in the past, not currently, or he wouldn't be able to draw up narcotics to begin with. The OP has already alerted Pharmacy

  24. Just found out I was accepted - Xanax usage

  25. Help me pass!

    Horseshoe replied to Tobenursemj's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    For nursing questions, they often put several answers which could conceivably be at least partially correct. Like NCLEX questions, they want you to choose the BEST answer. In this case, nitrates...
