    Question About Stretched Ears

    nguyency77 replied to KatieMarie1127's topic in General Students

    Speaking as a patient, I personally don't care whether you have tattoos or not. I don't really care what you look like, so long as you are clean, well-spoken, and seem to know what you're doing....

    What was your HS GPA & SAT score before getting accepted into nursing school?

    nguyency77 replied to prenursingprincess's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am SO jealous! I wish there had been a school like this in my area, but unfortunately the only program we have like that is a combined BA/MD program. I.e., you get to secure a slot in medical school...

    RN pre req GPA

    nguyency77 replied to GivingLove's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with this 100%. Some people may think that pre-requisites are "time-wasters" and "weeding-out" courses, but the reality is...If you don't know this stuff well yourself, how will you explain it...

    Vital Information about BSN and MSN online Programs

    nguyency77 replied to jacksonmark's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Well, clearly I'm biased against U of P. The only reason I don't like it is because the administrator at my old facility (where I was a CNA) graduated from there. And curse whoever decided to give her...

    venting!!

    nguyency77 replied to BajanCherry's topic in General Students

    I hope no one in my Level 1 classes will be like that, lol. This is kind of the reason I don't like partner

    RN pre req GPA

    nguyency77 replied to GivingLove's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are there any other schools you could possibly apply to? Maybe you could look for one that has a more lenient retake policy. :) Does your school just look at pre-requisite GPA, or the GPA from all of...

    Getting C's in Science Courses

    nguyency77 replied to PhyliciaJane's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello! Here are my thoughts on the matter, and what I would do in that situation. I would try to figure out why I got those C's. Was it because I blew off homework? Bombed the tests? Forgot to take...

    Dear new grad...

    nguyency77 replied to smurfynursey's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Exactly! Kudos to you! I hope when and if I graduate, I'll be strong enough to do the same. I'll take any experience I can get.Some friends of mine are always saying, "I want to work in L&D or...

    Weeding out?

    nguyency77 replied to wantccu's topic in General Students

    I am just going to relax, do my work, and tune out horror stories when I start nursing school in January. What is difficult for one person may not be difficult for another. :) I find that if I go into...

    Is this cheating?

    nguyency77 replied to antrara's topic in Nursing Career

    Removing test materials without the instructor's consent at my university would be considered cheating. This is because some teachers use the same exams or the same pool of questions every term that...

    Feeling Silly

    nguyency77 replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you considered shadowing a nurse to see what it would be like? I think it is a great way to determine if nursing is really what you want to do.

    Dear new grad...

    nguyency77 replied to smurfynursey's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have friends who appear to have fantasies of wheeling patients off to surgery, as they run alongside holding the patient's hand and reassuring them that "Everything is going to be okay!" The ER and...

    Is it worth it to become a CNA on my road to becoming a nurse?

    nguyency77 replied to sucess2012's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Working as a CNA has helped dispel many delusions I previously held about the healthcare industry; I used to be the sweet, touchy-feely girl who wanted to sit and chat with every single resident over...

    Do you work at Hilton?

    nguyency77 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Patient satisfaction surveys are subjective... I don't understand how lay people are qualified to evaluate professional nursing care? EDIT: Some family members are great; they understand when I tell...

    Scam Schools And Diploma Mills

    nguyency77 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    Me, too.Some of these schools in my area prey on people who dropped out of high school or couldn't handle community college. They offer a very attractive "easy way" into nursing or dental assisting...

    Do you work at Hilton?

    nguyency77 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    ROFL, I'll keep this in mind as I start nursing school! @Ntheboat2: Some lady got angry with me because her "Mom has orders (LOL) for coffee at every meal! Where is it?!" And I informed her that our...

    Who do nurses make more than?

    nguyency77 replied to Amber215's topic in General Nursing

    That's kind of interesting, actually... I was thinking the same thing. Given that the post and the title are seemingly unrelated, the OP seems to be wondering if she is able to live a certain...

    My patient called me a "flunkie" today..... -_-

    nguyency77 replied to FaithGurl93's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Haha, I know! It's hard to take crap from patients. I hope he gets better, so he'll stop being mean to you! I had one lady in LTC who was foul-mouthed and wore a permanent stink-face. None of the...

    Possible nursing student.

    nguyency77 replied to Etarc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    College gives you a fresh start. Have you applied to any universities? Are you planning on going for your Bachelor's right away? You're still in high school, so that means you have a bit of time to...

    Do you work at Hilton?

    nguyency77 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse, but up until recently I was a CNA working in one of those upscale rehab facilities. There was a middle-aged man who came to our facility from the hospital, absolutely livid that he...

    Who do nurses make more than?

    nguyency77 replied to Amber215's topic in General Nursing

    My aunt is an RN. My uncle is a stay-at-home dad for their two small children. My aunt works ridiculous amounts of overtime, because my uncle isn't working. She made somewhere around $70,000 last...

    nguyency77 replied to FaithGurl93's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    How rude. I always try to remember that people are ill and not at their best... It's not always easy.

    From First Generation College Student To Nurse

    nguyency77 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    My dad doesn't care that he didn't go to college, but my mom does. When she was a teenager growing up in Vietnam, she got expelled from 10th grade because my grandmother couldn't pay the tuition. My...
