  3. Refusing a Clinical assignment

    neverbethesame replied to SheldonCooperPHD's topic in General Students

    If it is valid then your request should be honored. If it is minor or not willing to be (mostly) disclosed, the instructor can't keep changing assigments. I can think of two situations recently...

  4. pre nursing student with learning disability

    neverbethesame replied to m.con's topic in Nurse Disabilities

  6. Abolishing the Pinning Ceremony

    neverbethesame replied to drem7116's topic in General Nursing

    I think that it is nice tradition that can still be carried out by the students themselves probably cheaper than it would've been had the school sponsored it. You can make it have any form or fashion...

    neverbethesame replied to snow_bear's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Seems to me that whoever scheduled the exam dates screwed up then. If they have this retest policy that clearly states 60 days (what college can you complete an entire course in 60 days?? Internet...

  9. Why are some people so successful while other's are failing

    neverbethesame replied to lifein08's topic in General Nursing

    Ahhhh, the age old question. I think that it is different for everyone. Even what constitutes success is different for everyone. There is no one size fits all to it. That's what is so interesting...

  10. Nursing Student with a Drug Addiction

    neverbethesame replied to VanessaLee13's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am not an addict/recovering addict but over 50% of my immediate and extended family are. I have been involved in ACOA groups and CODA groups for years. I'm shocked at the word 'snitch' being...

  11. UPMC - PSB-RN Exam

    neverbethesame replied to snow_bear's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    @snow_bear, I would count myself lucky for dodging the Shadyside SON bullet. Trust me- I still have the bleeding wounds to prove that I didn't dodge it. But, if you really want to go there, have you...

  13. UPMC - PSB-RN Exam

    neverbethesame replied to snow_bear's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    @sali22, Consider yourself lucky you can't go to Shadyside. They are capricious, dishonest and run the school on fear. Best wishes wherever you decide to

  14. Nurses with ADD/ADHD?

    neverbethesame replied to Metron's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I haven't graduated yet but I was soooo glad that at many of hospitals where I had clinicals we used the voice recorded system so I could listen to report 2-3 times. On the other hand I've done in...

  15. What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

    neverbethesame replied to foreverLaur's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    In the US public school teachers need BS/BA in Education and have for a long time. They didn't always though- years ago the brightest high school graduates were recruited to teach the lower grades....

  17. I am being harrassed

    neverbethesame replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am not sure of anyone's sexual orientation in this situation but if you are heterosexual and the offender is homosexual and goes the "minority-victim route", it could get dicey in this very PC age...

  18. ADHD Nurses-what area do you specialize in?

    neverbethesame replied to k31kozumi's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    There are different subtypes of ADHD/ADD, so there are no clear-cut answers, but it depends on several factors working together with it, like personality, ethics, physical stamina, etc. For me, a very...

    neverbethesame replied to tokidoki7's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    neverbethesame replied to jose2010's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I would suppose that it depends on the severity of it. Did your doc tell you? I would recommend getting into counseling as this may take major adjustments- not even on the outside but in how you...

    neverbethesame replied to forgivenfaith119's topic in Nurse Disabilities

  23. Discrimination against learning disabilities

    neverbethesame replied to MarineRN1's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I would not let this go. It's sounds fishy. First find out what your rights are and tben contact the HR dept. If what you have said is correct, I think that it is worth looking
