  1. I find myself at very stressful point in my life as Ill be starting my LD/OB clinical rotation next semester. The prospect of what ill be asked to do there terrifies me and I wish I could just pass with the theory part. Ive always been a very awkward...
  2. When someone mocks you for being a nurse

    and yeah as someone already pointed out you dont get a better guy to girl ratio in any Uni program than with Nursing. Basically the opposite of total sausagefest that Engineering is. Maybe they were Engineering majors and just bitter? that would expl...
  3. When someone mocks you for being a nurse

    .... JUST .... PUNCH them in the face And then when they are on the floor oozing teeth, blood and other bodily fluids BET they will be very thankful that there is a trained nursing professional in the house.
  4. theres this one girl in my nursing program :) I really wish ... I really hope ... but alas theres so little room for love in Nursing School. besides dont think the feeling is mutual. But if it was! and us graduating together! Best Christmas present ...
  5. masters degrees without ever working at the bedside?!

    Completely Disgusting!!! Somebody needs to do something about these people
  6. is 25-30 too late to want to pursue a nursing degree?

    Its NEVER too late NUFF SAID
  7. Losing Weight While In School

    Lost 20 pounds this year, mostly combination of exercise and not eating enough during clinicals. feels great but finding clothes that fit has become somewhat a chore
  8. Male student dilemma?

    I say just be yourself and dont care what haters think.. I would also suggest get a nice tat or two and maybe start wearing belt chains you know in case the pants are at risk of falling down.
  9. have you ever seen a female doctor dating a male nurse?

    WHO is this House character and why is he such a dick?
  10. Recommendations: Long sleeve shirt to cover tattoos

    youll just soak up and ferment microbes in those long sleeves and infect your patients. just get the tats removed please
  11. 8hr vs. 12hr work days

    Good idea ... but then with 8 hour shifts we wouldnt be working 3 days a week now would we. working 5 days in a row would be hell btw.
  12. have you ever seen a female doctor dating a male nurse?

    Where you getting those stats from bro? 40% not swinging that way? seriously can we stop with the gay male nurse stereotypes :)
  13. are there nurses who ACTUALLY care ?

    trust me worse things will happen as you go on in nursing school so for the sake of your sanity shrug this off. Nursing programs have a reputation of being some of the most competitive schools for a reason you know.
  14. Yup fill out the form so the person can lose their job hopefully youll sleep better at night
  15. Next time just tell the chick youre gay problem solved no need for online forum therapy. But cool story bro
  16. how very funny LOL thanks for sharing bro
  17. Accepted! Now what?

    Say goodbye to your social life and ... Good Luck
  18. Feeling Uncertain

    Obviously this dude doesnt have slightest idea of what CNAs and nurses do. Saying that a nurse is a glorified CNA is like saying that a police officer is a glorified crossing guard. But I'm more saddened by the fact that we are going to have to work ...
  19. Hey thanks for the advise bro. Gotta say I've been doing my LD clinical for a while now and ... its not as bad as I expected. ALTHOUGH I'm definitely never ever going to work in LD again but its been an interesting learning experience. Just don't see...
  20. Texting while doing patient care?

    People and nurses especially need to get with the times. Plain and simple. And yes my manager is texting on her phone constantly too.
  21. Texting while doing patient care?

    wow i think you need to simmer down big time. how can anybody work with people like you? sure hope i don't meet somebody like you at my hospital
  22. Texting while doing patient care?

    dont think its right to be texting right then when you're assessing the patient. but not being able to use your smartphone at all during 12 hour shift is stupid, you buy smartphone to be connected afterall. Its not like we are living in the 90s. but ...
  23. Why many new grads don't find jobs....

    You nailed it. Absolutely agree. With BSN from good uni its the clinical references that count. If I wanted to do CNAs work I wouldnt have applied to BSN program
  24. Education of nurses

    I don't think over-saturating the job market with professionals is good thing necessarily. Just to think once upon a time a bachelor's degree would guarantee you a decent job. And now when practically everybody holds some BA or BSc degree of some sor...
  25. Taking Care of Mom

    What a touching story, thank you so much for sharing
