  1. Alternative Therapies - Experiences

    Horseshoe replied to ArkansasLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not so much into using alternative therapies as I am trying to avoid having to take ANYTHING. I gained weight over the last few years but put it down to going through menopause. Had a physical...

  2. Gay student attending Christian Nursing school?

    Horseshoe replied to gpark32's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on the school. Some schools have expelled straight students for having pre-marital sex, so I don't think it's appropriate to tell this student that he doesn't need to worry about it unless...

  3. Nurse stealing Dilaudid

    Horseshoe replied to susiesmith21's topic in Patient Medications

    How is it that someone joins AN, and their very first post is a response to a five year old

  4. Nursing Rant: Am I wrong?

    Horseshoe replied to Gurlonthesun's topic in Rehabilitation

    Looks like yet another hit and run by a new poster. We must be in between

  5. Elephant in the China Shop

    Horseshoe replied to hcworker's topic in General Nursing

    What kind of writing assignment makes an assumption that female nurses are getting their jollies out of humiliating poor male patients who get erections during the process of getting a foley catheter...

  6. Elephant in the China Shop

    Horseshoe replied to hcworker's topic in General Nursing

    That's not true. We talk about all manner of things on AN, most of the time with very little discomfort. Because we are PROFESSIONALS. Oh-and welcome to All Nurses. You are making a hell of a lot...

  7. What is the least stressful high paying nursing specialty?

    Horseshoe replied to celtickimba's topic in General Nursing

    I work with a lot of CRNAs and they do make a good salary. But they all seem pretty stressed out. And it took a lot of time, effort, money, education, and STRESS to get to this point in their...

  8. I just set my friend up

    Horseshoe replied to Kaylle's topic in General Students

    I have remained very close friends with 2 of my best HS friends. Two of us roomed together in college and as young professionals. We've been there through thick and thin for decades. HOWEVER: we've...

  9. Dear New Grad Nurse

    Horseshoe replied to ashrose1992's topic in General Nursing

    Don't act as if you know it all. You would be surprised how many new grads seem to think they have already learned everything and they don't need to take advantage of the knowledge and experience of...

  10. Taking 20 credit hours?

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

    What the school lists as a minimum GPA to enter nursing school and what it ACTUALLY takes due to high demand and competition may be totally different. At my school, when all was said and done, it...

  11. Off duty RN scope of practice on an airplane.

    Horseshoe replied to creativekari's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto! I'm so anxious when I fly that on an international flight, I usually have a couple of drinks on board. Probably not the best person to assist in a code, now that I think about

  12. I call shenanigans

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

    It seems incredibly ridiculous for you to have to take a lower level micro class when you have so many advanced hours. I'd keep taking it up the chain of command to get them to accept your class for...

  13. PTSD and nursing school

    Horseshoe replied to Valcorie34's topic in General Students

    My condolences on your loss. I didn't have PTSD, but I had a toddler and an infant while in nursing school, and I was wary of doing my pediatric clinicals at the county hospital. While admittedly a...

  14. NSO malpractice renewal?!?

    Horseshoe replied to SouthernLPN2RN's topic in General Nursing

    I just purchased insurance from them for the first time. Other than not having the option to list two different jobs and specialties, it went

  15. Nursing Rant: Am I wrong?

    Horseshoe replied to Gurlonthesun's topic in Rehabilitation

    I think others have said it very well already, so I'll just give my $.02 and answer your question with this: "Yes. You are

  16. Finally an RN after 12 years!

    Horseshoe replied to belle05's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations. :) This may surprise you, but it's now that some of the hardest work begins, as you try to put all of your experience and education together to make a good nurse-one who doesn't just...

  17. Thinking

    Horseshoe replied to Jessicalynn7's topic in General Nursing

    There is no such thing as a nursing job that is "very easy." I don't believe this is a serious question, but there it

  18. I Hate People (my rant)

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

    Yes, I was being

  19. Be candid how do I handle my illnesses with regards to the BON if I get an interview.

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

    Okay, so you are not going to be interviewed by "the BON." You are going to be interviewed by someone in the position to determine nursing school admission. BIG DIFFERENCE. My school did not require...

  20. Off duty RN scope of practice on an airplane.

    Horseshoe replied to creativekari's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting. I would like that option, though I think having to pay $30 for one is pretty outrageous. The only way I can prove my license is valid and current is to have someone go to the BON...

  21. Heavily Burdened

    Horseshoe replied to LpntoRN2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I remember grumbling to my mother about whether or not to go through with my desire to go to nursing school with a toddler and plans to have another one. I said "If I do this , it will take 4 years,...

  22. I call shenanigans

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

    I had over 33 hours of American History from my state flagship university (had a BS degree in another subject) when I applied to another university in my state for my BSN. They tried to tell me I...

  23. Taking 20 credit hours?

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

    We can't know if this is "doable" for you because we don't know how strong of a student you are, how organized you are, etc. Sure there are students who took every AP known to man in high school,...

  24. Taking 20 credit hours?

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

    That is NOT what she said. She said she is taking 12 credits in fall, 20 credits in the

  25. How Physically Demanding is Your Job

    Horseshoe replied to Satori77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You guys are making me tired. Bringing back lots of memories from my ICU days. I work endo and I'm totally exhausted by the end of the day, not because of heavy lifting, but because we have no...
