  2. Is this my fault? Am I right to feel mad?

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

    No, I don't think you should be "mad." Frustrated, perhaps. But when you make mistakes, you need to be able to tolerate constructive criticism. Not saying you need to put up with anything which...

  11. I&D...sterile procedure?

    Horseshoe replied to deefizzle's topic in General Nursing

    Lol, ok. :) The most important thing you can do to start off on and remain on track is to acknowledge what you don't know. Nursing school prepares you to take and pass NCLEX, but there is no way they...

  18. What Nobody Told You About Graduate School

    Horseshoe replied to nurselyfe4115's topic in General Nursing

    If you've only just finished your program, how can you know that the friendships you made in school will be "life-long"? I predict that the friendships will be much like those of undergrad days. Most...

  19. I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    Horseshoe replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    Horseshoe replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Go to pretty much any country in the world and ask the question "What country do 'Americans' come from?" 99.9999% are NOT going to say "any country in North, Central, or South America." They are going...
