  1. Is anyone else in this boat? (and has anyone gotten out of it?)

    Fruit Sucker replied to csmcj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It will be more work, but you can repeat the classes you failed. Many schools have a policy of replacing a failing grade with a subsequent better grade. My school does this and I know people who've...

  2. associates degree school

    Fruit Sucker replied to Toyodax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At all of the CUNY schools it will take you 3 years full time to complete the associate's in nursing. If you don't pass the placement tests and you have to take remedial English, math, science etc, it...

  3. The Mockery of Nursing

    Fruit Sucker replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ooh, ooh, me! One of my favorites: New grad nurse: "I'm so stressed out, it seems like there are no open positions in my area. Where are all the nursing jobs?" Seasoned nurse: "I don't understand the...

  4. Alcoholism: disease or choice?

    Fruit Sucker replied to HonestRN's topic in Addictions

    Nobody is blaming alcoholics for having a craving. Normal people have feelings every single day. And they're expected to make responsible choices when they're faced with feelings, no matter how strong...

  5. Alcoholism: disease or choice?

    Fruit Sucker replied to HonestRN's topic in Addictions

    The fact that alcohol abuse has physical effects doesn't make it a disease. Alzheimer's is a disease- you can't just stop doing it because you decide to get right with yourself. Personally, I am fed...

  6. thin female hair

    Fruit Sucker replied to CalicoKitty's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I had a friend who lost almost all of her hair during her 20's. She shaved the rest of it off. Around friends, she would just go without any headwear and we were used to it, but in public she would...

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in Oncology

    Hi guys. I've really been enjoying reading the posts here on AN. I'm starting clinicals next semester, and I already know that I want to work in oncology. Everyone seems to think I am crazy. My...

  8. weight and feelings

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've noticed a lot of comments on the site about people's frustration with obese patients. I've also observed that some people seem particularly irate toward the obese, while others are very...

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I want a set of flash cards for A&P, but there are so many to choose from. Which ones do you think are the

  10. I'm a real nurse!!! Thank you!

    Fruit Sucker replied to nurseycool's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think it's shameful that people need to insult LPN's or people who work in LTC. That's a crucial job in our society and it should have a higher status. I'm in nursing school for an ADN and don't...

  13. will graduating with honors help?

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm considering applying to the honors program for next semester. Will graduating with honors help when I'm looking for jobs? I'm in an ADN program, and I plan to take a BSN bridge program at a...

  14. worried about dissection

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks so much for your message, @JMomBaby. It says I can't use the pm system yet, so I couldn't reply.

  15. worried about dissection

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have a problem with a cadaver. A cadaver is someone who chose to leave their body for such a purpose and then died during the normal course of their life. The animals that are used don't get...

  16. feeling terrible about bad grade

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Today I got a B on a sociology exam. I'm so ashamed. I studied so hard for this exam, and it's an easy class that I should be able to get an A in. It was a multiple choice test, and on some of the...

  17. feeling terrible about bad grade

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks so much, guys. I'm going to get the extra study materials for the science courses. I think I need to google 'test taking skills' also, I get too anxious during

  18. career path questions

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in General Nursing

    Please give me your opinions here. I'm enrolled in an ADN program, starting clinicals in the fall. My dream is to work in infusion. I keep reading that experience in hospitals is a must to land a job...

  19. Ebooks in Nursing School?

    Fruit Sucker replied to hannah87's topic in General Students

    Wow, you are awesome. :hug:Thanks so much for posting this. I've saved hundreds of dollars getting books for my prerequisite courses

  20. career path questions

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I guess my idea was that experience with blood draws might be more helpful in terms of experience, for IV nursing. Or that it would indicate a strong interest in that area. Also, in NYC (unless...

  21. "Old" Neuro assessmet of Nipple Twisting of Pinching

    Fruit Sucker replied to Zachhorse's topic in Critical Care

    In my opinion, it just seems pervy when there are other methods that could be used. God help the guy who tries to pinch my nipple if I'm a

  22. RN program

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in General Students

    Hi! I'm a pre-nursing student at Bronx Community College, and I have a few questions. First, I'm trying to decide between Rad Tech and Nursing (I have to decide soon) and I think nursing might be a...

  23. RN program

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    Thanks guys. I guess I wasn't clear in my post. My mom and sister both work in the emergency department (Mom is a doctor, sister's an RN) and I grew up around hospitals and medical professionals. My...

  24. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    Fruit Sucker replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Argh, I hate those people. I was in the ER with a bleeding stomach ulcer once, and when I finally got in, the guy in the bed next door was complaining that he'd lost his appetite and wasn't interested...
