    "Some people have a job. We have a calling."

    Irish_Mist replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You raise some great points. I agree. I personally do not feel nursing requires a "calling". In fact, I get very irritated with some of the posters on the pre nursing side forum talk about "the...

    Anyone taken a&p I & a&p II at fscj at the same time?

    Irish_Mist replied to iraisa22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At most schools, A&P 1 is a prerequsite for A&P 2. My school won't allow you to register for part 2 if you have not taken part

    About That Avatar...

    Irish_Mist replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, we do live in a world of social media. People have made their business everyone's business. If people aren't thinking about a current or future employer/co-worker, they should think again. There...

    About That Avatar...

    Irish_Mist replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Ruby, What about the people who actually use their first and last name as their username and then proceed to complain in specific details about something that happened at work? You know, pesky little...

    Workplace Bullying-Nursing or 7th Grade?

    Irish_Mist replied to rbs105's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I personally think when persistant bullying is going on in the workplace that it is a reflection upon management. You'll have the manager who is friends with the bully so he/she will justify the...

    Do BSN programs require a language?

    Irish_Mist replied to mmcc01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One of the schools I will be applying to requires 8 hours of Spanish (Baylor University in Dallas, Texas). Your best bet would be to look at the prerequisites listed for nursing on the university's...

    Freaking out!!!

    Irish_Mist replied to Rgarrett's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why not just read through your textbook and go over power points? There is also a lot of good study tools to utilize

    Anatomy and Physiology Online

    Irish_Mist replied to bkburgos1326's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I love online classes. In fact, I was excited when I found out about A&P being offered online at my school until I found out from my A&P professor that over half of the students fail the...

    Irish_Mist replied to Nursekidd1's topic in General Students

    kaydensmom01, your post is so encouraging. I recently found out that I am expecting a child yet I still want to be an RN. Luckily, my fiance, his family as well as mine is supportive. Reading your...

    So many nursing majors in my class!

    Irish_Mist replied to mmcc26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Taking "OUR" spots? All because they wanted the nursing paycheck? Please tell me you're joking. Those spots are not reserved with your name on it. They are awarded to people who have met or exceeded...

    Does nursing really suck that badly?

    Irish_Mist replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Sure thing, Ruby! I see you and Esme's post along with a few others. A few that come off the top of my head are GrnTea, SoldierNurse, LadyFree, and llg. I might not have the exact usernames right. I...

    Does nursing really suck that badly?

    Irish_Mist replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Ruby, I saw a post in the pre-nursing forum where these girls were basically implying they hoped their "competition" would jump ship. After all, only those with a true calling would make it through...

    Irish_Mist replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You are absolutely right, llg. I think for the most part, posters on here were sort of along the lines of caveat emptor. But, it almost seems to be an issue of contempt on this board. I've seen...

    Irish_Mist replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I almost regret saying that I want to help people. Yes, of course, I know there is more to it. I didn't want to turn my post into a novel explaining all the reasons why I wanted to be a nurse. I had...

    Does nursing really suck that badly?

    Irish_Mist replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I loved Ruby Vee's words too about seeking positive and finding it. I think she's absolutely right. You too, are right. Nursing stinks only if I let it stink. That can be said about every job, really....

    Irish_Mist replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Honestly, I did expect some feedback but not to this caliber. Perhaps I am a bit... Stunned? The general consensus of this board (at least the one I am getting) is to run away as fast as I can. I can...

    Hi Ruby. I think you bring up a great point about the work hours. Personally, I would rather work at nights than during the day. In various jobs I've had, I worked nights and weekends and I found that...

    Thanks for your feedback, Esme. In fact, I was hoping you would respond. I like reading your posts. Did it come off so wrong that I told Butterfly I was grateful to read something positive? I did not...
