  1. Depressed anti social low self esteem. What to do?

    Horseshoe replied to epinephrine1mg's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you think it's "too late" to actually study the fields which might be a better fit for your personality? When I was thinking about going in to nursing, I told my mother "but going part time...

  2. My first medication error, I'm freaking out

    Horseshoe replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in General Nursing

    You have learned a valuable lesson. Hopefully you don't bear the brunt of the blame here, as clearly there was an error made by someone in pharmacy. The important thing is the patient was not harmed....

  3. Permanently Kicked out of Practicum

    Horseshoe replied to FrustratedExStudent's topic in General Students

    I think tonyl1234 is being a little cavalier about the cost of litigation, and I'm not just referring to the financial aspect. My husband and I had no choice but to sue someone over a business deal....

  4. Experienced nurse turned down several times..

    Horseshoe replied to kmek30's topic in General Nursing

    That is false. It's one of those urban myths that just won't die. An employer can say anything about you that is true. Many employers, however, have their own policy against giving out information...

  5. Social Anxiety

    Horseshoe replied to Blessed RN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Psychologists don't prescribe medication, so all of their interventions would be non pharmaceutical. If you want to consider medication, you will need to see a

  6. Social Anxiety

    Horseshoe replied to Blessed RN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are psychologists who specialize in social anxiety. They have techniques that can help you. Exposure therapy is one of them. As far as thinking everyone is talking about you-ummm, no. They are...

  8. Trump's 'religious conscience'

    Horseshoe replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    You have got to be kidding. There is no "freedom of speech" on a private website message board. It's amazing how little understanding people have about the 1st Amendment

  10. Non Narcotic Theft and Terminated

    Horseshoe replied to exelor's topic in General Nursing

    This tired old myth seems to never die. It is NOT TRUE that employers can only give your dates of employment and whether you are eligible for rehire. They can say anything that is true. Many...

  12. Trump's 'religious conscience'

    Horseshoe replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. It disgusts me when I see protesters holding up signs that say "God hates (perjorative word for)

  13. Trump's 'religious conscience'

    Horseshoe replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    Please. Where is the "religious name calling"? I *am* a Christian, which is why I specifically referenced it in my question. I understand very well that the Bible was written by mere mortals. At that...

  14. Trump's 'religious conscience'

    Horseshoe replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    I still want to know what religion (specifically Christianity) has to do with transgender issues. I don't recall anything in the Bible stating that being transgender is a sin, much less a sin so bad...

  15. Trump's 'religious conscience'

    Horseshoe replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    hherrn, you're killing me. It's CONSCIENCE, not conscious! But I agree with you

    Horseshoe replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    You can and should block him/her. That's just completely

  17. Trump's 'religious conscience'

    Horseshoe replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    Could someone refer me to the passages in the Bible that say that being transgender is a sin and that Christians should not have anything to do with

  18. Is maintaining a 3.0GPA in a nursing program difficult?

    Horseshoe replied to Nic000's topic in General Students

    I don't see how anyone can really answer your question without knowing the specifics about your particular program, your abilities/intelligence/study habits/time constraints/other personal attributes...

    Horseshoe replied to SarahRN717's topic in General Nursing

    In my state, people who are born in an even number year renew during even numbered years, those born in odd numbered years renew in odd numbered years. Your state may have a similar system that...

  20. Elizabeth Warren says doctors, nurses don't treat black women same way as other women

    Horseshoe replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    If a powerful white Congresswoman with the ability to spearhead reform for healthcare inequities that adversely affect minorities said "Well, I can't really address that because I'm not a racial...

  21. Women's Right to Choose

    Horseshoe replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    Why should "we" be teaching this? Many of us do NOT believe that everyone needs to be virgins when they get married. Many of us do NOT believe there is anything wrong with sex before marriage. Many of...

  22. Retaliation for reporting abuse?

    Horseshoe replied to nursehaley91's topic in General Nursing

    You are confusing "right to work" with "at will employment." I do agree that the OP should consult a lawyer. Many lawyers will give you one consultation for free. You could find out if you have a case...

  23. Women's Right to Choose

    Horseshoe replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing
