  1. Help me pass!

    Horseshoe replied to Tobenursemj's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Has the test already been graded and you are trying to figure out a way to argue your way into getting another

  2. Future of marijuana/medical marijuana in nursing?

    Horseshoe replied to antnurse's topic in General Nursing

    That sentence doesn't make sense. Do you mean the scientific factors associated with it are indisputable? Or something else? And while there is some agreement on the benefits, there is not a solid...

  3. Would you report possible diversion?

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    No, I'm not demonstrating ignorance. Not by a long shot. Your post is complete and utter nonsense. And by the way, this isn't the "first time" for the nurse in question. The OP stated that he had...

  4. Look who's back..back again...Jahi's back...

    Horseshoe replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in General Nursing

    IIRC, even her family has admitted that she remains vent

  5. Would you report possible diversion?

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    What a complete crock of horse

  6. Straight Caths

    Horseshoe replied to LibertyTX's topic in General Nursing

    lol they used to call me the Foley Queen in my

  7. Look who's back..back again...Jahi's back...

    Horseshoe replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely she did, which was why the state of California issued a death certificate. Jahi met all legal criteria for brain death in California on two occasions, spaced appropriately as required by...

  8. Is the term "Nurse" too sexist for a job description?

    Horseshoe replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    The title "Nurse" is not gendered, so no. It's also a legal title in most

  9. Jahi is still on 'life support'?!

    Horseshoe replied to Julius Seizure's topic in General Nursing

    Not according to six physicians who did comprehensive testing on her. Vegetative state is NOT brain death. She even had a cerebral blood flow test which showed NO blood flow whatsoever to her brain....

  10. Student nurses with disabilities

    Horseshoe replied to sara2013's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    While I think people would be surprised to find that there are many nurses who do have disabilities which they have managed to overcome or for which they are able to compensate, saying that there is...

  11. Going back to school @ 26

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

    Considering the OP hasn't been back, I don't think she cares about the feedback

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

    Horseshoe replied to Jordan1927's topic in General Students

    The average GPA of accepted nursing students in my program was 3.8. I don't think you'll get into a competitive program with your GPA. ADN programs also tend to be pretty competitive also. I think...

  13. New Grad to ICU / Multiple Job offers

    Horseshoe replied to AC777's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wow, that's pretty awesome to get that many hours in ICU while in

  14. switch from medical school to nursing?

    Horseshoe replied to gj101's topic in General Students

    Au contraire. You absolutely are making excuses for her. Her heart is not going to soften. You are really deep into denial. You need to wake up. You are incredibly naive to think she will...

  15. switch from medical school to nursing?

    Horseshoe replied to gj101's topic in General Students

    She is refusing because she knows the pastor will expose her manipulations and lies about her "culture." I responded earlier before getting very deep into the thread. Reading more, I think you have...

  16. switch from medical school to nursing?

    Horseshoe replied to gj101's topic in General Students

    Sorry, but I have to call BS on this. I have worked with A LOT of nurses from the Phillipines. They are WORKING to support the goals of their families just as hard as their husbands are. Many got...

  17. New Grad to ICU / Multiple Job offers

    Horseshoe replied to AC777's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That's how you get it done. Congrats and good luck. I'd also go for the long

  18. Do you prefer to contend with the smell of stool or the smell of Glade?

    Horseshoe replied to RNdynamic's topic in General Nursing

    We used to have a pine scented deodorizer to spray in our patients' rooms if there was a diarrhea or other similar incident. One day, when one of my coworkers was caring for a GI bleeder, our nursing...

  19. Nursing salary vs quality of life in North Carolina

    Horseshoe replied to LAmom's topic in General Nursing

    My D lives in a "hip" area of Durham, NC, which is also in the triangle where you are looking. Her rent is $1700 a month for a new construction, charming 1800 sq. foot house with a yard near Duke....

  20. Am I right or my teacher?!

    Horseshoe replied to Tobenursemj's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Being wrong doesn't make you "a total dumbass." It simply means you were wrong. And you were wrong. B is the correct answer. Also, notice that your instructor use the word "primarily." That word...

  21. Nursing school and hard homelife

    Horseshoe replied to ahauts's topic in General Nursing

    This is not good advice. Escalating the situation is not going to help one iota. The OP already said her mother has been physically abusive in the past. The potential is still there. OP, I would be...

  22. Going back to school @ 26

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

    Why would you think you are "too late"? Schools don't have age

  23. Do you go to work with parabens on you?

    Horseshoe replied to RNdynamic's topic in General Nursing

    Nowhere in her post did she say anything about wearing perfume, or for that matter, anything that would smell from across the room. She's talking about the normal things most people use such as...

  24. Advice for the new hire (hint: don't show your faults for awhile 😇)

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If someone has that type of personality, how do you think they will react when they find you went over their head and reported them to your manager for some kind of offense, and then went over your...

  25. Advice for the new hire (hint: don't show your faults for awhile 😇)

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Supervisors DO have more
