  1. Can I ask a question that is NOT related to nursing...?

    succinate replied to succinate's topic in General Nursing

    Yes that's exactly what happened. I'm still waiting. I am too an impatient person but when I felt the symptoms getting seriously worse (e.g. the stabbing pain underneath my ribs), I went back to my GP...

  2. Can I ask a question that is NOT related to nursing...?

    succinate replied to succinate's topic in General Nursing

    I could try visiting a naturopath but I am having gynaecological symptoms that I think may have been caused by these urinary tracts so that's why I'm clinging to visiting medical doctors. The problem...

  3. Can I ask a question that is NOT related to nursing...?

    succinate replied to succinate's topic in General Nursing

    Okay I'm going to post this question, and please feel free to remove it if it violates the policy of AllNurses.com. Here's what happened: over the past year, I have had major problems with my urinary...

  4. Can I ask a question that is NOT related to nursing...?

    succinate replied to succinate's topic in General Nursing

    Hi traumaRUs, thank you for your prompt reply. How can I find the breakroom so that I can post my question there? When I asked this question, I couldn't find the appropriate forum so I resorted to...

  5. "What are you studying in university?" "Nursing." "Oh wow! Then a MD!"

    succinate posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Does anyone get this response every time they are asked what they are studying in school/univeristy/college? Long story short, I have always wanted to be a doctor but I changed my mind when I had a...

  6. "What are you studying in university?" "Nursing." "Oh wow! Then a MD!"

    succinate replied to succinate's topic in Nursing Career

    This describes my situation perfectly. I actually think nursing is great - at my job, I had to go around the hospital and interact with patients. That level of interaction with patients is really...

  7. How do you deal with death?

    succinate replied to succinate's topic in General Nursing

    For some reason, quoting Kittypower's post doesn't work, so I'll reply this way. I know it's surprising that I got over the seath so quickly and it's because I was not very, very close to him, unlike...

  8. How do you deal with death?

    succinate posted a topic in General Nursing

    It's hard to articulate my feelings about death. In my family, I've dealt with a death of only one family member seven years ago, and to be frank, when he passed away, I got over it within two weeks....

  9. "What are you studying in university?" "Nursing." "Oh wow! Then a MD!"

    succinate replied to succinate's topic in Nursing Career

    Also, one time, I worked in ER (my fav place) and stood behind both a nurse and a doctor. They were right beside each other, so I could see how they work together. The nurse was in charge of telling...

  10. "What are you studying in university?" "Nursing." "Oh wow! Then a MD!"

    succinate replied to succinate's topic in Nursing Career

    To be really, really, really honest. I don't know. The truth is, I come from a very poor family. If I had gone for a Bachelor's Degree in Science and didn't make it for med school, I would go into...

  11. What constitutes good communication skills?

    succinate posted a topic in General Nursing

    As a nursing student, I often wonder what constitutes good communication skills. Of course, after I complete my BScN degree, I want to be a good nurse. So how can you have excellent communication...

  12. Commuting to University for the next 4 years?

    succinate posted a topic in General Students

    I'm already in my first semester of university for nursing, and it's located in another city that is 30-35 minutes away by bus. So far, I've been commuting to that university and it takes about 35...

  13. Commuting to University for the next 4 years?

    succinate replied to succinate's topic in General Students

    It sounds like I'm concerned about the commuting...because of what people told me what they thought of it when I tell them this fact! Honestly, the buses I use to commute are really good - so far, I...

    succinate replied to succinate's topic in General Students

    I'd rather not disclose what city the nursing school is

  15. What is the worst hardship/story you have ever seen/heard in your nursing career?

    succinate replied to succinate's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my goodness, I didn't expect this number of posts! I haven't been on the site recently so I will read each one of the posts to know your story. Thank you so much for

  16. What is the worst hardship/story you have ever seen/heard in your nursing career?

    succinate posted a topic in General Nursing

    As nurses, we get to know our patients intimately. So I'm asking this question: what was the worst hardship you have ever heard about that your patient has gone through? Abuse? Torment? Homelessness?...

  17. Should I get a gap year during nursing school? Not feeling well.

    succinate posted a topic in General Students

    I'm a new nursing student who attends a university in Canada. While I love it and the support from my nursing faculty is phenomenal, I am not feeling well mentally. I have been in this state for many,...

  18. Should I get a gap year during nursing school? Not feeling well.

    succinate replied to succinate's topic in General Students

    Because of all of you, I am going to see a therapist as a step towards recovery. I hope I'm not bothering all of you too much, but I would like to hear your opinion on this topic. One of my personal...

  19. Should I get a gap year during nursing school? Not feeling well.

    succinate replied to succinate's topic in General Students

    I feel so ashamed now. I was reading all of the nurses' post here and saw that so many of you were able to complete 5 or 6 classes a semester whereas I can barely manage only 2 courses this semester!!...

  20. Should I get a gap year during nursing school? Not feeling well.

    succinate replied to succinate's topic in General Students

    I have a problem here: I spoke to my academic advisor and she was really kind and supportive. Since I'm taking a reduced course load as an accommodation for my disability, she suggests dropping one of...

    succinate replied to succinate's topic in General Students

    Furthermore, a nurse has told me that in order to take care of others, you must look after yourself. I find this

  22. Should I get a gap year during nursing school? Not feeling well.

    succinate replied to succinate's topic in General Students

    Thank you so much everyone. Today I couldn't take it anymore and had another breakdown again. I could not accomplish any tasks - could not eat, could not sleep, could not talk, etc. I mustered the...

  23. Should I get a gap year during nursing school? Not feeling well.

    succinate replied to succinate's topic in General Students

    Thank you all for your answers. I'm so wrecked inside that at any moment, I will cry right now. Even at just the moment of visiting a psychologist makes my eyes tear up. Ladies (and gentlemen), what...

    Thank you so much for your help. I feel better now. I'm going to get through the nursing school, no matter what comes in my way of reaching the

  25. Nurses please help me. I'm crying right now. need your advice.

    succinate posted a topic in General Students

    I'm really stressed out right now and I'm basically bawling my eyes out. Some of you have seen my earlier post about not doing well in nursing school. I've realized that I have posted it in the wrong...
