  1. Charting...what to say?

    Amnesty replied to chrisrn24's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious what my nursing school will teach us about this. I can already tell that what I'm going to do is whatever they tell me to as long as I'm in school, and then whatever policy says wherever I...

  2. Losing respect for nursing students

    Amnesty replied to kjnsweets's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's funny how many of us silently (or not so silently, apparently!) smirk at the fresh-out-of-high-school kids in nursing. I look very young, so even though I'm mid 20s and already have a BBA...

  3. Does nursing change you into an angry person?

    Amnesty replied to DesireeBeyerGreen's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree with the poster who said you just have to build up a wall and not let the bad stuff get through it to harm you. Sometimes it will, and you have your breakdown and you go right on about your...

  4. Super Obese

    Amnesty replied to anotherone's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sure, if you have access to the proper channels. The unfortunate fact is that thyroid problems are very complex. That's why there are about 10 different commonly accepted factors that must be checked...

  5. First Informal Interview as an MSN-Ed

    Amnesty replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    That's lovely =). I hope to one day be in the same shoes. I'm doing my ADN first because it just makes sense for where I'm at, but I know I want to keep going with my education. I may never want to be...

  6. Why do some nurses use their titles as a big ego boost?

    Amnesty replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This could be one or two different things, or a mix of them: 1) OP is overly sensitive to title differences. 2) OP's friend is kind of a jerk and OP knows it and is sick of the way this woman takes...

  7. Why did she pick on me?

    Amnesty replied to Dean7's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A lot of this. If people can get to you that easily, you really need to work on thickening your skin. Yes, they're annoying, but if you're ever actively angry or actively thinking about her outside of...

  8. I don't hear much about Liability Insurance anymore...

    Amnesty replied to ilmbg's topic in General Nursing

    As a nursing student, I have to say that "mystify school" sounds pretty accurate a lot of days

  9. I don't want a male nurse! - Caption Contest Winner

    Amnesty replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    ^ I agree with this, fully. I'm the same way. I could deal with a male doctor doing a pelvic exam/breast check for me, but I much prefer to have a female. In a situation where a male patient didn't...

  10. Kindle version of books

    Amnesty replied to aperry05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For textbooks, I like having both versions if they're available. I'm usually not willing to pay for that, though, so I don't bother with it and just get the hard copy. Yes, it's harder to lug around,...

  11. Look Back *Giggle* For Today

    Amnesty replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    O_O Oh my word, I think I'm going to have to pass on douching with Lysol hahaha! I also think I'd need to trade in a hubby who cared so much about whether I smell like peaches and perfumes downstairs...

  12. Nursing Classroom Education: The big bang of powerpoint slavery

    Amnesty replied to guest042302019's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I feel for both sides of this topic. I'm currently in A&P I + Lab and Pharmacology, and I'm very lucky to have an anatomy professor who is very engaged in his subject. He knows it inside and out,...

  13. Look Back *Giggle* For Today

    Amnesty replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    Well then. I just learned a ton about the history of feminine hygiene products

  14. Do you talk about work at home?

    Amnesty replied to blackvans1234's topic in General Nursing

    My boyfriend is like this as well, but we've compromised for each other :3. I tell him the things that can be easily related to somebody who has no medical background but still finds the weird things...

  15. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    Amnesty replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    Never once did I blatantly make the statement that people with C grades won't make it through the nursing program. You're putting words into my mouth, and I don't like it when people do that, so it...

  16. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    Amnesty replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    You're taking this entirely too personally xP. I offered you a dissenting opinion and a backup of reasons for my opinion. It's based on the facts that: 1) I'm a pre-nursing student, and I know that a...

  17. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    Amnesty replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    That's just naive to say. I have a lot of passion, but if my situation was the same and I got rejected from a lottery system and was told to wait another year, I'd have to look elsewhere. I don't have...

  18. Do you have to complete all pre-reqs before applying?

    Amnesty replied to MissNancy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in south Georgia, the Albany/Valdosta area. Valdosta State University has a BSN program (though I'm not sure what their generic track entry qualifications are -- I was going to be a fast track b/c...

  19. Do you have to complete all pre-reqs before applying?

    Amnesty replied to MissNancy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From what I've heard of people trying to get new grad RN jobs in Cali, I don't know if it's really wise to stay there and pursue nursing. I think you might be better moving elsewhere. And I don't know...

  20. Whiners in the classroom?!?!?!

    Amnesty replied to rj2011's topic in General Students

    So much truth to this. In my school, the people in Anatomy & Physiology I are often fresh out of high school and very unaware that college is serious business. They get a dose of hot reality in...

  21. I just need some advice on this one, and it's making me NERVOUS.

    Amnesty replied to sherabear's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I can understand being a grammar nazi when the post is clearly written like this: "I cn understnd...... yes, sometims its dificult to understnd this....." But come on. ONE word you don't agree with,...

  22. How do you study for nursing courses?

    Amnesty replied to Guest11/16/14's topic in General Students

    A lot of creative studying and brute force time spent. There is so much to memorize, learn, and then apply in practice. I literally am sitting here right now thinking, what am I even going to do with...

  23. How to study for Muscle?

    Amnesty replied to zeno33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    See my post above xD. My particular book website doesn't often have a lot of good resources, but if you google search, you can sometimes find some like the one I edited into my post

  24. How to study for Muscle?

    Amnesty replied to zeno33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a copy of the coloring book recommended for the lab I'm in, and not only was it kind of cheesy, but it isn't very detailed. I didn't think it'd help me much at all, so I returned it. Dynamic...

  25. I just need some advice on this one, and it's making me NERVOUS.

    Amnesty replied to sherabear's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Good luck with it, and thank you for posting this. I'm not a nurse yet, but seeing things like this helps me learn from the lessons of others instead of having to fall and scrape my knee
