  1. BSN rant/inquire

    Fruit Sucker replied to mw1179's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I had to take a couple of classes I thought were time wasters. I read a lot in my spare time, and felt that some of these classes were redundant and overly basic. It's an easy A- just try to get...

  3. new grad looking to relocate

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi guys. I just graduated a few weeks ago, and am sitting for NCLEX in a couple of weeks. I'm looking to relocate from where I live in NYC to Texas, preferably east Texas (closer to family.) Can you...

    Fruit Sucker replied to sparkles24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might like "Ask a Vegan Dietician" on Facebook. Thanks for sharing the links. I'm very interested in the plant-based sources of

  6. Veganism and the pursue of nursing

    Fruit Sucker replied to sparkles24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agreed. Unfortunately, it often happens when not warranted, and by those who don't have a good understanding of nutrition. I can see that you are not one of those people, and I respect your supporting...

  7. Veganism and the pursue of nursing

    Fruit Sucker replied to sparkles24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That doesn't sound like someone who has made the decision to eat compassionately and ethically. If this is the only example of vegans you've met, you must not have been exposed to many. There seems...

  8. Veganism and the pursue of nursing

    Fruit Sucker replied to sparkles24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And if you want to give out dietary advice that nobody asked for, I suggest you start a thread about that and see how many people are interested. Because nobody on THIS thread so far is interested in...

  9. Veganism and the pursue of nursing

    Fruit Sucker replied to sparkles24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And I don't know any vegans who get all their protein from broccoli. So there's that. And that's not really your business. Are all your nutritional needs being met by YOUR current dietary habits?...

  10. Veganism and the pursue of nursing

    Fruit Sucker replied to sparkles24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That hasn't been my experience. You can assure me all you want that it hasn't happened, but I have experienced people being nosy about my meal breaks and making idiotic remarks when I tell them I'm...

  12. Need encouragement- how do you control your fear?

    Fruit Sucker replied to Summers3's topic in General Students

    It's very common to have this anxiety. It will help if you use the same study method to prepare for exams every time. Once you start getting decent grades on exams, you can learn to trust your study...

  13. Veganism and the pursue of nursing

    Fruit Sucker replied to sparkles24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Great decision. Fellow vegan here. Unfortunately, you will have to get used to uneducated, snide remarks (like a couple that have been posted on this thread) but you learn to ignore it. Stay strong,...

  15. African American Hair Problems in Nursing

    Fruit Sucker replied to desertstar6's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    White lady here. In the area I live in, box braids would be a very normal hairstyle. (NYC.) I would hate to see you miss out on a job opportunity though, and I really don't know what your area is...

  16. Does anyone else get grief from their family for choosing nursing?

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

    This may be controversial advice, but it sounds like your mom doesn't treat you with respect and you really want to earn respect from her. The problem is that with this type of person, trying to earn...

    Folding clipboard with extra blank paper. Extra pens. The clipboard is covered in notes for things like electrolyte

  19. Am I the only one that doesn't feel confident?

    Fruit Sucker replied to Beps711's topic in General Students

    I started nursing school with no medical experience whatsoever. I used to work in film. It's up to you if it's really right for you or not. I don't think anyone feels very confident in clinicals- just...

  21. do you wash your hair every day?

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I started using Nizoral a couple of months ago because I read that it helps fight hair thinning. My mom and sister swear that I don't have thinning hair and I'm just being paranoid, but I'm not so...

  25. Perfume at work?

    Fruit Sucker replied to fawnmarie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I like scents from Nature Republic, but I don't wear them to the hospital. How about a nice scented soap? I'm a huge fan of Yardley's Honeysuckle Citrus- it leaves a scent you can smell if you put...
