    Are any of these errors and behavior issues documented? Were you ever provided counseling on these

    Bathroom Accidents/Change of Clothes

    I'm not a school nurse. I'm a BSN student nurse just lurking. Why on earth did those parents call the police? Assuming she adequately explained the procedure, there shouldn't have been an issue. I...
  3. 40 is not old. Look into the programs you're interested and figure out what prerequisites they require. Enroll at your local community college and take those classes. Take the HESI or TEAS (whichever...

    Mr. Harry the Excessive Hair Patient

    I am truly sorry for what you have gone through. I think this has gone on enough. All joking aside, I seriously cannot believe I have argued about pubic hair the last few posts on an anonymous nursing...

    Mr. Harry the Excessive Hair Patient

    Does sexual fondling not mean grabbing, groping or touching genitalia for the purpose of sexual gratification? One does not have to "fondle" another to shave their public hair. I totally can...

    Mr. Harry the Excessive Hair Patient

    Straight from the Department of Justice: "Sexual assault is any type of sexual contact or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient. Falling under the definition of sexual...

    Sexual assault?
  8. If your local police department is not helping you, contact the FBI. Since this has moved into cyber territory, this would more than likely be in the realm of federal crime. Document EVERYTHING. I...

    Always Rumors

    Hang in there, babynurse. Learn from your mistakes and move on. Don't worry about what your co-workers are saying. You can't control what people say but you can control your reaction to it. Plus, I...

    Can nursing be for me?

    I'm probably going to piss people of by saying this but if I were you, I'd consider doing an LPN (or LVN if you live in Texas or California) to RN bridge program. There's much more to choose from in...

    Should I even bother???

    If you're willing to relocate, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center has a Veteran to BSN program. You can do the program in 1 year here in
  12. But you just said you wanted a career in medicine. That usually means one wants to be a physician. Do you mean you want a career in
  13. You don't want to work night shifts but now you want a career in medicine? Med students work some crazy clinical hours which includes night time. If you want to be a physician, which I assume you do...

    Failing Statistics. Do I have a chance at passing?

    I know this isn't what you're asking but maybe online classes aren't for you. Sounds like you need the structure of a class that meets in person not to mention a bit of self reflection. Missing one...

    Not getting into program

    Have you considered broadening your horizons? Apply to more than one school next time. Re-take classes if you need to. Look over the requirements for each program carefully and make sure you meet or...

    Failed anatomy and low GPA

    Maybe you have a learning disability. Have you ever been tested for one? If you get tested and you do in fact have one, you can request accommodation. You might also be able to understand your...

    Best shoes for clinical?

    I will be doing clinicals in January. I have to purchase black or white shoes. They don't have to be solid as a little bit of color is allowed as long as the main color is black or white. What are...

    What classes did you take with A&P?

    It honestly depends on the individual student. I was able to take A&P 1 and 2 while working full time and taking other classes. It just depends on your abilities. I definitely had to carve out a...

    I hate group projects

    Group projects can be fun if you're with a good group. In my prior degree, I had two professors who assigned group projects with anonymous feedback to give on each of the participating members. If the...

    Hurt and Betrayed

    Your post speaks for itself. It sounds like you divulged private information and this person didn't keep it secret. Take this as a lesson to keep your personal business to yourself. Gossip is part of...

    now that it was mentioned..

    If this is a job you enjoy, find fulfillment in and make enough to live on, then keep at it. There is no shame in being a career CNA especially if it makes you

    School problem!!!

    Sounds like these students need to be reminded that they are in college, not high school. How juvenile and stupid to behave like this in a college level class, much less in grade school. Do not allow...
