  1. Tired of hearing about the kids.

    33762FL replied to TECHTORNHOPEFULLY's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "many women view infertility as a character flaw and that they have dome something wrong to "desreve this" somehow " this is what always baffled me. i had 7 week-long cycles as a teenager, so i was...

  2. Tired of hearing about the kids.

    33762FL replied to TECHTORNHOPEFULLY's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    " you know the type, won't even have worked out a year before on leave." uuuuuugh! i hate this, i feel like it makes employers reluctant to hire women in general, because a few women pull this sort...

  3. Tired of hearing about the kids.

    33762FL replied to TECHTORNHOPEFULLY's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    " i find it extremely frustrating to deal with "the mommies" at times. it's as if you're invisible if you don't have kids." i've found the same thing - if you're a woman without children, the other...

  5. If people could see what we see don't you think they'd see things so differently?

    33762FL replied to Vtachy1's topic in General Nursing

    Well yeah, long ago when there was no treatment they didn't live through the disease because they died from it very quickly, and on average people died much younger than we do today. I personally am...

  6. Kennedy Global Schools LVN-ADNe Bridge Program

    33762FL replied to arlel58's topic in Online Distance Learning

    All this proves is that this shady school looked up names on the Texas BON website, and cut & pasted those names onto the school's site. If something sounds too good to be true, that means that...

  7. Are nurses forced to assist abortions?

    33762FL replied to lookingintoRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If you don't want to deal with abortion, don't work in area where you can reasonably expect to come across the issue (OB, surgery, actual abortion clinics). Most areas of health & nursing have...

    Fulfilling

  9. A good answer to those who ask our salary

    33762FL replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    "How much do you make" gets the same answer from me as "what did you think of the test" did in Nursing school: "It's good, I think it's

  10. RN, ADN BSN program experiences

    33762FL replied to mttzakr87's topic in Nursing Career

    The content in an RN-BSN program is totally different from the content in an ADN program. It's not "more lax", it's just theory, research, and writing papers rather than the application stuff you...

  11. Nursing as a 2nd career

    33762FL replied to Cherzilla's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    IMO stick with your current career, since you like it and it's lucrative. You'd have to put your career on hold to invest time & money in nursing school, then spend years as a PT or FT nurse to...

  12. May Graduate--Applying for jobs

    33762FL replied to sj73201's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm in the NYC metro area but was applying for jobs both in Manhattan and northern NJ. I got no calls from anywhere I applied before graduation except for a hospital I'd had a student externship with....

  13. disapointed over nursing school support

    33762FL replied to Nerdiestudentnurse's topic in General Students

    I'm guessing you're young, early 20's at the latest? Your school sounds completely normal. It's a school where you're a student, not a Carnival Cruise where you're a guest. Schools don't let students...

  14. Switching my major from nursing to FACS

    33762FL replied to Aiesram's topic in General Nursing

    You'll have a harder job trying to find a job as a social worker/case worker than as a traditional RN, if that's what you're

  15. 19 Year Old With No Direction...

    33762FL replied to RenegadeAngel's topic in Nursing Career

    If you like both equally, I'd get a computer science degree and forget about nursing/medicine. Nursing is fairly over-saturated, it's hard to find a job. IT on the other hand has a MUCH better job...

  16. Is following a doctor's order "too many" narcs?

    33762FL replied to 33762FL's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I think I might work with a few T-Totallers on my floor, or at the very least, people with culturally different ideas about pain and narc

  17. "If they really cared about their mom, they wouldn't of put her in a nursing home"

    33762FL replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    There's a cultural bias here. American culture doesn't typically have younger family members take care of older ones, because the younger family member is then forgoing their current income. Either...

  18. Distance Learning Woes

    33762FL posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm currently taking my first RN-BSN class, with an accredited online program through my state university system. I am so frustrated. The class consists of reading textbooks, posting on discussion...

  19. Christ hospital school of nursing jersey city nj

    33762FL replied to meeta404's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Uhh... A&P is "gross" no matter where you take it. If you can't handle lab where you dissect a sheep's brain or a fetal pig, you sure aren't going to like nursing (where you're dealing with urine,...

  20. New Nurse 4 Med errors in 6 months

    33762FL replied to lpncharlie's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you're a bad nurse. I think anybody could have made those errors if they were a new grad with scanty orientation tossed into LTC as a float. If you didn't have a situation where you had...

  21. Fundraising ideas?? please help

    33762FL replied to TheLisaMac's topic in General Students

    There are very few ways to actually make money with traditional fundraising events like bake sales, car washes, etc. The little money you make does not offset the cost of the time & money you put...

  22. Scared of graduating...

    33762FL replied to sunyata's topic in General Students

    Focus on finding a job. If you're graduating in December, you need to start networking and looking for a job ASAP. It's not easy to find a job these days, I graduated in May 2011 and only a handful of...

  23. Is med/surg really that bad?

    33762FL replied to clearblue3's topic in Medical-Surgical

    It's not bad. It's busy and can be stressful, but you'd better be up for "busy & stressful" if you're going to have a successful career in acute care. Most new grads start in med-surg, you need...

  24. Can some one edit my get into nursing school essay? Less than a page long!

    33762FL replied to SamiSN's topic in General Nursing

    If I worked in admissions I'd reject anybody who sent an essay like this. Scrap all the negatives you write about: Shy (even if you aren't now, no need to tell them you used to be) Poor performance...

  25. Saying "Goodnight" to patients

    33762FL replied to deemalt's topic in General Nursing

    I work 7a-7p. If they're awake I say goodnight, if they're sleeping I just let them continue to
