  1. Father of a nursing student needs advice

    jetsy62 replied to Keane68's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, I want to say you are a wonderful father. You planned and were able to provide a way for your daughter to be able to go to college if that was what she wanted. Turns out, your...

  2. Single Dad, Work, and School?

    jetsy62 replied to JasonPB22's topic in General Students

    If the program is one year, I don't understand how an AS program is going to be cheaper. All ASN programs I looked in to took two years. But like a lot of things that are on AN, it could just be a...

  3. indecisive; failing; discouraged; should i continue?

    jetsy62 replied to 2016New's topic in General Students

    I had to make adjustments after talking to my academic advisor. The single most helpful piece of advice was to NOT study for long periods of time. The example she used was if you study for a solid...

  4. Nursing students on medication

    jetsy62 replied to kjnsweets's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I do understand. I feel your pain. I had a teacher in my last year of high school (I graduated June 2013), after receiving my 504 plan, tell me that I could not have ADHD because I did not act like...

  5. Nursing students on medication

    jetsy62 replied to kjnsweets's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I read everything and I guess that is what upset me. I am responding to the initial post. Not what got added to it, then more got added, then the OP responded to that, then more got added, then the...

  6. Nursing students on medication

    jetsy62 replied to kjnsweets's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    To ixchel, yes I would be very offended if what you describe happened to me and I would have a major problem with it. But that is not what the OP described. They described a nursing student who...

  7. Nursing students on medication

    jetsy62 replied to kjnsweets's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    As a nursing student who is prescribed medication for ADHD and auditory processing disorder, I take great offense to this post. The OP's concern is that a student stated that they took medication "to...

  8. Medical terminology according to patients

    jetsy62 replied to nursefrances's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ok, "goody bits" made me

  9. Safe Nurse Staffing for Patient Safety & Quality Care Act

    jetsy62 replied to j0yegan's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Sounds very reasonable. Right now nurses in my area are negotiating with a hospital that bought our local hospital and the sticking point is not wages, benefits, etc. It is staffing

  10. Study tips/Exam help!

    jetsy62 replied to JerseyGirl2010's topic in General Students

    Took a test Friday. Grade went up 11 percentage points. There might be something to this studying for short periods of time, breaking, studying, breaking. Now, if I only knew that from the get

  11. Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    jetsy62 replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    Your school should have some type of grievance procedure. If the male ratio is 10 to 20 percent student but 90 percent of the students that fail are male, that seems odd. I can't believe someone...

  12. Study tips/Exam help!

    jetsy62 replied to JerseyGirl2010's topic in General Students

    I had a teacher tell me when I was struggling that it is best to study in short periods, take a break, then study, take a break and continue with this pattern. It has helped tremendously. She said...

  13. asked to delay child bearing

    jetsy62 replied to KonaDog05's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Since he/she had the nerve to ask such an inappropriate questions, I would tell him/her what they want to hear. And there are so many variables. What would happen if you became pregnant before you...

  14. Things only a fellow nursing student would understand...

    jetsy62 replied to leekaye's topic in General Students

    Aw, yes, nursing school. This is

  15. When Faith Creates False Hope

    jetsy62 replied to kabfighter's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Do you think part of the difficulty of this young girls family in accepting her death is because the procedure was one that most people would consider "not a big deal"? Yes, I know, there is risk...

  16. Crossing a line?

    jetsy62 replied to nurse4littles's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    If your employer has no problem with it, you have no problems with it, the little one has no problem with it, and her family has no problem with it .... in all reality, is there a

  17. Am I stupid for changing to the LPN program when I am passing the RN program?

    jetsy62 replied to ruby1228's topic in General Students

    I would keep going the RN route. If you fail either semester, and I say if, you can decide then if you want to go the LPN route. But I do believe if you throw in the towel now, at some later point...

  18. What is the average nurse's opinion on medical assistants

    jetsy62 replied to maeskmio's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You are in high school so this is where I would expect this type of behavior, not a medical practice. If your state does not require certification, then it is no one's business what the firm that...

  19. Paycheck Question

    jetsy62 replied to onthemark's topic in General Nursing

    If you have to take vacation in increments of 8 hours, you are screwed. And they know this. My question is how did you end up with only 5 hours OT and not 8 if the shifts at your place of employment...

  20. Who do you tell?

    jetsy62 replied to smoup's topic in General Students

    We have a disability office at the university I attend and I disclosed. Not a big deal. They printed a letter for my professors to outline my testing issues (it does not disrupt the class) and all...

  21. Bachelors and masters degree in non-nursing - ADN or BSN?

    jetsy62 replied to maffechr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would look into a second degree program. They go by different names I guess but basically you already have a BS in something and end up with a BSN in two years. I would do that before I would go...

  22. Family at school orientation?

    jetsy62 replied to Summergrace's topic in General Nursing

    Well, orientation happened yesterday. I would say it was 80% with a parent/guardian/spouse, 20% by themselves. As previously stated, at my school the letter encouraged for someone to attend. We...

  23. Family at school orientation?

    jetsy62 replied to Summergrace's topic in General Nursing

    This has really got me thinking with some of the posts on here regarding this subject. I will let you know after Monday how many showed up by themselves and how many had someone with them. Like I...

  24. Family at school orientation?

    jetsy62 replied to Summergrace's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I go to orientation on Monday and it says in the letter "family members are encouraged to attend". Selecting non-nursing classess, ordering uniforms, receiving book list, obtaining school...
