    Classmates stress me out ? How do I deal?

    ixchel replied to Student2017555's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why are you worried what others think? Honestly, why? Everyone learns and studies in a different way. Some people need hours to do what others can do in minutes. Some do better in groups while others...

    Thoughts on the "doctor's stethoscope"

    ixchel replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I'm not sure why everyone keeps calling their response and apology. Nothing about it was an apology. It was a response. That's it. It wasn't meant to be an apology, as evidenced by the lack of apology...

    What's the strangest phone conversation you've ever had at work?

    ixchel replied to Brekka's topic in Nursing Humor

    Forgive me for picking this bone, but I'm bummed that you didn't take the time to at least go into the basics. This wasn't a strange call at all. Many people that are newer to dialysis don't realize...

    So, the initial blunder on Monday made me think Michelle wasn't really that offensive, she just didn't like the performance. I felt like that was what she was criticizing, not the nurse herself. I was...

    I have LOVED that group. All of the stories, all of the nurse pride, all of the things that make us all so unique but bind us together, filling my fb newsfeed. I can't get enough of

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    ixchel replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    But has research been done to establish a safe push rate? I'm concerned that introducing that much formaldehyde so quickly into the central circulation may be dangerous. There needs to be a randomized...

    ixchel replied to Ready-Set-Go's topic in General Students

    The old grades matter because all grades are an indication of mastering of material. I had bad grades to justify from 10 years before application time. I simply said I wasn't focused then, but am now,...

    I'm about to get weird here, so bare with me, and to any I offend, I apologize. As an atheist who rather strictly believes in science, I feel believers in an after life and/or creator God do have a...
