  1. Just Started Nursing School!

    SleeepyRN replied to YoungNurseInTraining's topic in General Students

    Thanks LadyFree. I obviously got worked up and defensive. Its because I care so much about student

  2. Just Started Nursing School!

    SleeepyRN replied to YoungNurseInTraining's topic in General Students

    She's personalizing people "not wanting to be her friend" when in reality it could be they know the seriousness of nursing school and are FOCUSING on school. I found her comment about older students...

  3. Just Started Nursing School!

    SleeepyRN replied to YoungNurseInTraining's topic in General Students

    Fitting in and making acquaintances and becoming part of study groups.... are different things. Perhaps I misjudged her post. I read her posts as "yea! I'm in nursing school, nobody likes me and I...

  4. Just Started Nursing School!

    SleeepyRN replied to YoungNurseInTraining's topic in General Students

    I too left home once. At 18, moved to Florida for my bf, away from family, friends, everything I knew. Again, talk about

  5. Just Started Nursing School!

    SleeepyRN replied to YoungNurseInTraining's topic in General Students

    And I find it very interesting that you used MY phrase "talking shop" when completely dismissing the rest of my very heartfelt posts. Yes, I do think that if your SOLE concern is making friends when...

  6. Just Started Nursing School!

    SleeepyRN replied to YoungNurseInTraining's topic in General Students

    "Good for me for never being worried about fitting in?" Talk about ignorance. I was bullied to the point where 2 nursing students were kicked out of the program from it. But before they were kicked...

  7. Need help with Arterial Blood Gases

    SleeepyRN replied to itsdebraanne's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I LOVE physiology as well. What a wonderful explanation. Thanks for posting it. Having a GREAT base in A&P led to sooo much less headache in nursing school, because I understood the entire...

  8. Sigh...the dreaded day...advice needed

    SleeepyRN replied to PinkPinkster's topic in Nursing Career

    I feel for your situation very much. I can relate in many ways. I want to be clear on one thing though. I wasn't advocating Xanax, just giving an example as terms of service prohibit medical advice....

  9. Sigh...the dreaded day...advice needed

    SleeepyRN replied to PinkPinkster's topic in Nursing Career

    The OP has severe anxiety issues and as we have all stated IS dysfunctional. This requires more than just s "swift kick in the butt." When we are in this frame of mind of sheer panic, beyond normal...

  10. Sigh...the dreaded day...advice needed

    SleeepyRN replied to PinkPinkster's topic in Nursing Career

    I didn't really mean "flippant," just short and to the point which the OP was obviously offended by. (I wouldnt be offended, I thought it was a valid answer) I just wanted to get OP to see the posters...

  11. Must Leave Negative, Current Hospital: What do I do when Applying and Interviewing?

    SleeepyRN replied to RNracingblue's topic in General Nursing

    So I have a question on this scenario. Do you put this hospital on your resume and risk your application being tossed because on paper they see someone who quit so soon and think, why would we hire...

  12. Sigh...the dreaded day...advice needed

    SleeepyRN replied to PinkPinkster's topic in Nursing Career

    I think the first response was a little flippant but not meant to come across as judgemental. I suffer severe anxiety, and I too am constantly putting off job searches d/t this. I'm saying this with...

  13. Just Started Nursing School!

    SleeepyRN replied to YoungNurseInTraining's topic in General Students

    Re-read my initial post. I advised to make friends OUTSIDE of nursing. Nursing students can be complete back stabbers, and you're stuck with them for 4 years.And yes, other students can be back...

  14. First test tomorrow!

    SleeepyRN replied to RNstudent13renee's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Awesome!

  15. Anxiety in the Clinical Setting

    SleeepyRN replied to BlueChocolateCat's topic in General Students

    GrnTea:I wish you would show this side of yourself more often :) I'll be honest, I'm often off put by your posts. On the other hand, I have read many many of them helping nursing students, new...

  16. Feeling insulted after job interview

    SleeepyRN replied to NellieRN10's topic in Ob/Gyn

    But I agree to let it go. When she has her baby, maybe she will see L&D nurses do much more than that. Although she won't see behind the walls the nurses monitoring for decels and so on, and the...

  17. Feeling insulted after job interview

    SleeepyRN replied to NellieRN10's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Incredibly rude, insensitive and absolutely

  18. ? on UICs CNM PROGRAM

    SleeepyRN replied to SleeepyRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you so much. You answered my question perfectly. I'm an RN continuing my education, and for a speech class we have to talk about the steps to becoming what we want to do. The UIC website...

  19. First test tomorrow!

    SleeepyRN replied to RNstudent13renee's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Oh, and good luck

  20. First test tomorrow!

    SleeepyRN replied to RNstudent13renee's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What I used to do before an exam when there was simply no studying left, I either "knew it by then or I didn't" was to listen to my IPod right before my exam. I would listen to the most comforting...

  21. If I want to read a novel, I'll go to my Kindle app.

    SleeepyRN replied to mariebailey's topic in General Nursing

    Sure. My thought? Don't read it. It can be annoying when I'm reading through a thread and stumble across a posting that goes on and on and doesn't really relate to the conversation at hand. On the...

  22. Just Started Nursing School!

    SleeepyRN replied to YoungNurseInTraining's topic in General Students

    Also, it is your perception that they "don't want anything to do with you because you're so young." Maybe nobody is running up to you and grabbing your hand to be friends is because they are focused...

  23. Just Started Nursing School!

    SleeepyRN replied to YoungNurseInTraining's topic in General Students

    The OP has only posted 2 posts on this site. Both are about making friends. This site has a wealth of information and advice at your fingertips. When your only posts are about how to make friends, I...

  24. Just Started Nursing School!

    SleeepyRN replied to YoungNurseInTraining's topic in General Students

    I know its easier said than done, but your focus shouldn't be on fitting in. It should be focused on your studies. My experience with nursing school was that it was very click-ish. I would see these...

  25. Nurse with Disdain

    SleeepyRN replied to StuckInTheMiddle's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You can be empathetic on the inside while setting boundaries. But when you set boundaries, some patients might just think you're "mean" because you are not acting "warm and
