    Does nursing really suck that badly?

    Irish_Mist replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    That isn't it at all, TU RN. All I said was that it was refreshing to see something happy. I don't see how my one response to butterfly implies that I am only focusing on the positive or believing...

    Does nursing really suck that badly?

    Irish_Mist replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Thank you, llg. I appreciate your sound advice. Is it really that bad that I want to be a nurse to help people in addition to earning a nice living? I'm not Mother Teresa by any means but nursing has...

    Does nursing really suck that badly?

    Irish_Mist replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I should have made the disclaimer that there are far, far more reasons I want to be an RN. For one thing, the pay is a big perk. Second, there are so many areas to choose from. Third, well.... I guess...

    Does nursing really suck that badly?

    Irish_Mist replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    No, of course I do not think all nurses could be evil. That would be ludicrous of me to think so. I do know some RNs and have asked them lots of questions. In fact, I'll be shadowing my mother's RN...

    Irish_Mist replied to A Gay Male Nurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    They filed grievances against you? For what?! I second Ruby Vee's words. Your life is far from over. You got your degree, education and license. Don't let a group of ignorant people keep you from...

    Nursing Imposters

    Irish_Mist posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was browsing the Texas Board of Nursing site today out of curiosity. Well, somehow in all of my reading, I came across the imposter alert section for the last ten years. Don't get me wrong, it was...

    Irish_Mist replied to A Gay Male Nurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi Amber. According to the ACLU, several states have laws banning discrimination of transgender people. Federal law, per the other article, also protects you. I am not a lawyer and I'm not trying to...

    Has Anyone Taken Statistics

    Irish_Mist replied to Mia83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Coming from someone who isn't that wonderful at math, I did just fine in statistics. It really depends on if you have a good professor. My professor was/is EXCELLENT, the class we had was at night,...

    I'll bet Dr. So-and-So had a very harsh talk with this guy. Why would this RN do such a thing? He should be PROUD to be an RN! I know when I become an RN, I'll definitely be proud! It is hard work...

    Baylor FastBacc May 2014

    Irish_Mist replied to matwood's topic in Texas Nursing

    I talked with her a few months back. She did kind of "allude" to the fact that Baylor is less competitive simply because of the high cost of tuition. This doesn't mean I think I will get in with a...

    Irish_Mist replied to matwood's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm glad someone posted about this. I won't be applying this year. I'm applying for the 2015 fast bacc. Do you know if this program is more competitive versus the traditional two year BSN program? I...

    I misread her quote. For some reason, I took that as her patient telling her she can't be an RN with the BSN degree.

    Wow! Did she ever have a license to begin with? Couple of DECADES? Now that is scary. From my understanding of what I read on the Texas BON site, the woman who worked as a "registered nurse" never...

    I don't think your thoughts are dumb at all. I don't want to see people get discouraged either. My other gripe is that it comes off as nothing but a way to boast if you did really well. Just my 2...
