  1. tattoos and nursing, yay or nay

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

    Why would you get your very first tattoo on public skin? I am fairly well covered in tattoos, and all of them are covered by jeans and a 3/4 sleeve shirt. Don't do that to yourself. There are times...

  2. Find your Specialty Quiz

    Fruit Sucker replied to Sisyphus_01's topic in General Students

    Very cool! Thanks for sharing. I got rural nurse, parish nurse, or domestic violence nurse. Totally not what I

  3. ready to give up

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in General Nursing

    I graduated last month from my program, and I've applied to a number of jobs (out of state) and been rejected by them. I made the effort to get to know the hospital, get to know the recruiters, and I...

  4. 47yrs old in 4days and starting class

    Fruit Sucker replied to maddyfan4's topic in General Students

    Just think about all you have to offer with the years of life experience you have as opposed to someone who is 20. Don't concentrate on the negatives, think of the positives. I graduated last month...

  5. Psych Clinicals?

    Fruit Sucker replied to MeganStar's topic in General Students

    You won't be passing meds. It will be a lot of sitting around talking with the patients, then sitting around in group therapy, then sitting around talking in post-conference. I found it very boring...

  6. Opinion on using the word "retarded"?

    Fruit Sucker replied to abbypoo's topic in General Nursing

    Cognitively impaired? That can mean a number of things. A drunk person is cognitively impaired. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's what most people associate with that term. I'm fine with...

  7. Eating healthy

    Fruit Sucker replied to Joa1680's topic in General Students

    Always have soup! :-) Seriously, I have four 16oz thermoses, and while in school I'd fill one before I left and keep it in my bag. Look for low sodium soups or make your own- many canned soups have a...

  8. Math Help Please.

    Fruit Sucker replied to Sarahjohnson39's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Have you looked at your textbook for the course? It should tell you how to do this. This is a very basic math problem. Not to be rude, but I don't understand why people have so much trouble with this...

  9. help- school is holding up transcript

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

    Thanks guys. I'm going to call the BON tomorrow and see if they've received anything and then go from there. NurseKellyKMo- I like your photo.

  10. help- school is holding up transcript

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in General Students

    I just graduated and am trying to get my transcript sent to the BON so I can take NCLEX. There's one woman who sends out the transcripts (I attended a private college) and she's had over a week to...

  11. Done! Time to graduate.

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in General Students

    I'm officially finished with my program and waiting to take the NCLEX. Woohoo! Nursing school was not easy. I hardly know what to do with all the time I have off now. Can't decide whether to loaf...

  12. Done! Time to graduate.

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

    Hooray! "Weee are the champions, my

  13. Done! Time to graduate.

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

    Oh, also you have to be able to shrug it off when people are mean to you and not take it personally. Sometimes the clinical instructors, professors, and patients can say hurtful things and you just...

  14. Done! Time to graduate.

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

    Yes, no problem. It's all about the effort. I wasn't able to have a social life during school because it is all consuming, but if you're willing to make the sacrifice of working very hard for a few...

  15. Meds?!!

    Fruit Sucker replied to x0xerika's topic in General Students

    Medications won't make any sense to you until you know your A&P and pathophysiology. And keep in mind that a lot of students fail Fundamentals. I would get the Fundamentals textbook and get...

  16. Done! Time to graduate.

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

    Thanks guys. I'm waiting to get my ATT from the BON. I decided to sleep for a couple of days, and it was wondrous! Then I did all the laundry that's been piling up the last couple of

  17. What are the softest scrubs?

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    What brand do you like for softness? Also, if you have suggestions for brands that look good on tall skinny ladies, that's a plus.

  18. New York City, You make me so happy and so so sad

    Fruit Sucker replied to Matt89's topic in New York Nursing

    Well hey, go for it. Good luck to you. You have experience already, so that will put you ahead. If you end up moving here, look at apartments in Stuyvesant Town or Peter Cooper, they're the best value...

  19. New York City, You make me so happy and so so sad

    Fruit Sucker replied to Matt89's topic in New York Nursing

    Lived in NYC for the last ten years. Trust me, if you live here the feelings will wear off. First problem you will face is housing. Wherever you move, you will not be far from a housing project....

  20. The most annoying student

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in General Students

    There's this guy in my class who I need to rant about. He's just the worst. He always has to be the center of attention, is loud, and constantly interrupts others. He is a know-it-all and has to be...

  21. The most annoying student

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

    Yes, look at the Board of Nursing website for the state you're going to move to and see what paperwork you need to send to

  22. how many nursing students/nurses believe they were abused, bullied, by nursing school inst

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

    Let me say that in my program there have been many, many students of color and older students who were successful. Could it be a problem at the school you are attending? It sounds from your post like...

  23. The most annoying student

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

    I wondered about that,

  24. the worst intubation

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm shocked by this intubation I saw at clinical earlier. They didn't give the patient succinylcholine or propofol or anything before they tried to intubate him, and he was fighting. The intern and...

  25. the worst intubation

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

    Thanks for the replies. I'm realizing that it may just be that it was unnerving to watch and not that there was something incorrect with the procedure. Perhaps you guys are right and there was a...
