  1. I need a loan but can't get a cosigner

    Horseshoe replied to kendleh's topic in General Students

    Any bank that would give you a loan with your credit score is going to have an ungodly interest rate. If you can't find a relative to co-sign, I don't think you have any other options. But I...

  2. Abandonment

    Horseshoe replied to 128black's topic in General Nursing

    Please re-state your question with appropriate

  3. ER GN Quitting Smoking - Any tips?

    Horseshoe replied to AlmostERnurse's topic in General Nursing

    My mom smoked like a chimney for 32 years. She quit when I got pregnant - I had told her that I would never tell her what to do in her own home, but that when she came to my house, she would need to...

  4. How to get accpeted into Nursing School with a grade point average of 2.3

    Horseshoe replied to NCLEX-RN2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, that's not allowed. You must be a RN to use that in your screen

  5. CON withholding proof of graduation!!!!

    Horseshoe replied to KelERnurse's topic in General Students

    An 80% NCLEX pass rate may meet the minimum requirements, but that sounds really low. My school had a 98-100% pass rate most years. I would find 80% very troubling. I'm betting that is why they are...

  6. My transfer nurse advisor says I won't make it !

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

    I would advise you against putting details in your posts which could make you identifiable, just as a general precaution. Take it one step at a time. Get accepted into nursing school. Study hard,...

  7. Please help, need to go back to work now! Have missed 1.5 months +

    Horseshoe replied to Mustkeepjob32's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure "disingenuous" means what you think it does, because I didn't see any posts which fit that description. Maybe a few were less than sympathetic, but honestly, you didn't provide the key...

  8. Sick of the BS

    Horseshoe replied to Helluvanurse33's topic in General Students

    In my BSN program, no one ever knew I had a 4.0 until they announced it at graduation, and I was actually kind of horrified that they did. Clearly you are making it known that you are so...

  9. Sick of the BS

    Horseshoe replied to Helluvanurse33's topic in General Students

    The OP clarified that she is an LPN. So she has every right to use that screen

  10. Jimmy Kimmel Thanks Nurses Who Saved His Infant Son's Life

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

    OMG, that was so touching. You gotta love a man who can cry, and while crying wants to make sure he names every nurse and doctor who helped his family. You know he was writing down every staff...

  11. Any tips on how to protect your self in a clinic?

    Horseshoe replied to Life22feb's topic in General Nursing

    Don't steal your patients' drugs, don't show up to work high or drunk, don't falsify the medical record, don't abandon your patients, don't physically or sexually abuse your patients, don't kill your...

  12. Any tips on how to protect your self in a clinic?

    Horseshoe replied to Life22feb's topic in General Nursing

    What is going on in nursing schools nowadays that new grads have the impression that a misspelled word is going to cost them their license.

  13. You're not going to pull that on me

    Horseshoe replied to TeenyTiny's topic in General Nursing

    I would have a problem being asked to buy and stock a patient's candy dish on my own dime. I don't care how nicely they

  14. Can lpn do 1st assesment.

    Horseshoe replied to Chestercopperpot's topic in General Nursing

    In my state, LPNs cannot do comprehensive assessments, though focused assessments are entirely within scope. What you are describing would not be in the scope of the LPN in my state

  15. Death and the Soul

    Horseshoe replied to dream'n's topic in General Nursing

    People may experience what they expect to experience. If they believe the person ceases to exist on any level after death, they will not likely experience anything which is contrary to that...

  16. HELP... Need ideas - How to ask mom to pin me

    Horseshoe replied to lopezj81's topic in General Students

    I think in this day of "promposals" and other highly public and dramatic displays for every milestone that happens in our lives, it may seem necessary to do something "creative" in order to make...

  17. verified perception of near death experience

    Horseshoe replied to TrumpOnRoids's topic in General Nursing

    There is no way to either prove or disprove an afterlife. We will either find out there is, or there will be nothing, and we will never "know"

  18. Used CPR on my neighbors toddler today... it wasn't enough... warning, graphic..

    Horseshoe replied to NursingInChaos's topic in General Nursing

    That is so good to hear. I think it would be so frightening for a young toddler to wake up and be blind, not understanding at all what is happening and why he can't see his mother and father. Thanks...

  19. verified perception of near death experience

    Horseshoe replied to TrumpOnRoids's topic in General Nursing

    What kind of throws me off the "it's just an anoxic brain" deal is the fact that so many people report seeing dead relatives waiting to greet them. If they were hallucinating about loved ones, why...

  20. Chemistry!

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

    Many fields in nursing require at least some familiarity with some of the basic concepts of chemistry. My chemistry class required a lot of math. DH is really good at algebra, so he gave me a really...

  21. other side of the coin. again.

    Horseshoe replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    Who is the "you" that you keep addressing? If you will use the quote button when you want to reply to a particular post, your meaning will be more

  22. Used CPR on my neighbors toddler today... it wasn't enough... warning, graphic..

    Horseshoe replied to NursingInChaos's topic in General Nursing

    While I am very happy he survived, I think it's tragic that he may be permanently blind. I really hope they are wrong about that. It sounds like there is going to be a long and potentially difficult...

  23. verified perception of near death experience

    Horseshoe replied to TrumpOnRoids's topic in General Nursing

    I asked a guy who coded and was resuscitated if he "remembered anything" of the experience. He said no, only that he was annoyed that we had shined that bright light into his face. Uh...there was no...

  24. Do you think nurses get special treatment?

    Horseshoe replied to NurseLife88's topic in General Nursing

    What are you doing to be getting pulled over so

  25. Used CPR on my neighbors toddler today... it wasn't enough... warning, graphic..

    Horseshoe replied to NursingInChaos's topic in General Nursing

    So far great news. Praying that he will be cognitively
