  1. Somebody Knock Some Sense Into Me

    Fruit Sucker replied to lilgop's topic in General Students

    Okay, this made me laugh pretty

  2. What to eat for 12hr clinical shifts?

    Fruit Sucker replied to cocoa_puff's topic in General Students

    Oatmeal is great for complex carbohydrates. I don't put sugar in mine (I know, weird) because I don't like my blood sugar jumping up and down. In school I developed a habit of always having a small...

  3. Failing nursing school!!!

    Fruit Sucker replied to nat_22's topic in General Students

    I second this. It's hard getting used to the questions. You need to study smarter, not harder. Figure out what type of questions you're getting wrong (is it "which patient first" questions? "which is...

  4. If people make me feel bad, I've been bullied

    Fruit Sucker replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And what evidence do you have that there are bullies on this thread? Bullies who think they are special? Or are you just imagining that there are bullies out there reading your post and thinking up...

  5. If people make me feel bad, I've been bullied

    Fruit Sucker replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Actually, that's the entire point of the thread. I'm not sure if you meant my opinion specifically is inconsequential (not taking that bait) or if the opinions of others in general wrt bullying are...

  6. If people make me feel bad, I've been bullied

    Fruit Sucker replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Stop right there. Nobody on this thread advocated doing anything in front of a patient. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone on this site who thinks that is

  7. If people make me feel bad, I've been bullied

    Fruit Sucker replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Disagree. I hate having to reprimand people. And I often go back later and make sure that they know it is professional and not personal. No power spike, no feeling good, I would rather avoid...

  8. If people make me feel bad, I've been bullied

    Fruit Sucker replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, there you go. That's how to deal with it. There's no doubt that bullying does exist and deserves to be wiped out. A reasonable person makes a plan and deals with the problem. An unreasonable...

  9. If people make me feel bad, I've been bullied

    Fruit Sucker replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So I suppose you haven't been in the armed services, for example? Or played organized sports? In those situations, yelling and barking at people is viewed as a way of motivating and strengthening...

  10. If people make me feel bad, I've been bullied

    Fruit Sucker replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    None of those things are bullying. They feel bad, yes, but they are not bullying. Sarcasm and eye rolling never made anyone fear for their safety. Things like this are why people think that majority...

  11. If people make me feel bad, I've been bullied

    Fruit Sucker replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree it's not necessary to say that someone else at work is annoying, but something like that should not be a big deal. If I were the "annoying" person, I would either choose to ignore it, or I...

  12. If people make me feel bad, I've been bullied

    Fruit Sucker replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes! We had a student at my school who tried to get a couple of other students kicked out of the program because someone else overheard them saying she was annoying. That's it, she found out someone...

  13. No Good Very Bad Nursing Instructor

    Fruit Sucker replied to misskitty22's topic in General Students

    There will always be at LEAST one professor who will try to fail you out. Sometimes they just don't like you for whatever reason. I had a professor whom I suspected disliked me because of my race, but...

  14. Students asking for free money

    Fruit Sucker replied to l.a.m.b's topic in General Students

    There's a special place in hell for that guy. The right thing to do would have been to start a memorial fund for someone else who was sick. I just don't get

  15. Students asking for free money

    Fruit Sucker replied to l.a.m.b's topic in General Students

    Well, now, I'm a sucker for animal rescue organizations. And like you said, I don't mind not buying that extra whatever if it means a sick animal can get

  16. Male Nurse Interactions

    Fruit Sucker replied to MikeRN84's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm sorry to hear this, and no, in my opinion it isn't fair. I wonder if it may have anything to do with where you live. I never saw a male student be excluded from anything during my OB clinicals, or...

  17. Students asking for free money

    Fruit Sucker replied to l.a.m.b's topic in General Students

    I really dislike crowdfunding, too. I've straight out told people I know not to include me in requests, because I'm tired of getting asked to give people my money that I worked for so that they don't...

  18. tattoo cover up material ideas

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi guys. I have a tattoo on the back of my neck that is normally covered by my ponytail, but I started thinking it would be nice to wear my hair up in a bun sometimes. I'd like some ideas for covering...

  19. tattoo cover up material ideas

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

    Hm...I'm a single lady, so I don't usually have someone around who could apply it for me. Maybe I can work it out with two mirrors

  20. Anxiety with Nursing School

    Fruit Sucker replied to TUnurse's topic in General Students

    Get tutoring. I had to get tutoring for organic chem. There's nothing to be ashamed of in getting extra help- it just shows you know how to use resources and do what you have to do. You may be...

  21. How do you handle the smells and control your gag reflex?

    Fruit Sucker replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't like to use menthol, because it just opens up my sinuses and lets more stinky smell in. There are some tricks you can learn- in clinicals I learned from the CNAs how to change a poopy brief...

  22. “Your privacy is important to us� so how did patients’ medical exams get on Youtube?

    Fruit Sucker replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    Lol. Videos of "girls' private parts" just came up during your normal Google search. I just hate it when I'm searching for that really great banana bread recipe and videos of private parts...

  23. Only African American Nurse on Staff

    Fruit Sucker replied to nette1022's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That sounds really horrible. Are you sure this is an area that you want to live in? All you can do is remain strong and be your best person until you can get out of there. I would try not to burn any...

  24. BSN programs are harder than ADN

    Fruit Sucker replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

    Why do you care? That's what I'm wondering. Some of your co-workers with ADNs have previous BS degrees, and most of them will be completing an RN-BSN bridge program. You'll be taking the same NCLEX....

  25. not sure if ready or not

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have NCLEX scheduled in a week, and I'm not sure if I'm ready or not. I'm getting from 60-65% on Kaplans. I'm trying to look inside myself and know if I'm ready, but I have conflicting feelings. Did...
