  1. Stop complaining in class!

    JoseQuinones posted a topic in General Students

    Here is a rant from a first-year nursing student. 1.) Why did you bust your hump to get into nursing school if you did not want to work hard in class? Did it ever occur to you how lucky you were to...

  2. Want to quit nursing school with 9 months left

    JoseQuinones replied to Chalysia's topic in General Students

    You need a Bachelors in life. Finish the Bachelors. You don't have to go into nursing afterward. But a BSN is a Bachelors in Science. Trust me, you need a BS in something. Two years ago on a whim...

  3. Writing a letter of recommendation for my professor

    JoseQuinones replied to lilgop's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For a letter of recommendation, boilerplate is best. In my other life, I managed a department of a rather large concern that often had Masters and Ph.D. students coming in to intern for their thesis....

    JoseQuinones replied to Looking_for_sunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Some weeks ago where I work, we got a walk-in application from an older gentleman who was retired and wanted to work in the field to give back. The boss of the place expressed some doubts about him...

  6. Cursed at a patient-fired

    JoseQuinones replied to sle9403RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You sound like another Anthony Weiner. Sometimes "I'm sorry" isn't enough and you need to drop out of the race, or at least seriously reassess your life and get help before jumping back

  7. Waking up in the OR

    JoseQuinones replied to Kidrn911's topic in General Nursing

    I had oral surgery done last year and I remember very clearly waking up in the middle of the surgery. I saw the light, I saw their faces, and I tasted my mouth full of blood. I tried to yell or...

    JoseQuinones replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Excellent!

  9. How long will it take to pay off your student loan?

    JoseQuinones replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I hope to graduate from the Bachelor's program with no debt, since I am studying at night and working full time during the day, and my wife is also working. We were able to pay cash for my enrollment...

  11. Circumcision

    JoseQuinones replied to TexRN's topic in General Students

    Let me further comment that there is no way I as an RN am able to help perform elective abortions. (Life of the mother excepted.) I cannot justify it. So I have specifically applied to work in...

  12. Circumcision

    JoseQuinones replied to TexRN's topic in General Students

    "Thank you, I would like to reiterate that I am not against circumcision. I am against non therapeutic routine infant circumcision where informed consent can not be given by the patient himself. " As...

  13. 'Force feeding' at Guantanamo

    JoseQuinones replied to IKnowYouRider's topic in Government, Military

    Military nurses are officers in their respective branches of the military. They join up with full knowledge that they will be required to obey orders from superiors, whether they agree with them or...

  14. How does anyone do double shifts? I'm tired after 40 hours

    JoseQuinones replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in General Nursing

    I can't speak specifically to nursing since I'm only a nursing student still, but I am coming to nursing by way of another high-stress, constantly on-call career. Since the moment I signed my...

  15. What Is The Deal With All The Highly Educated & Professionals Becoming RNs?

    JoseQuinones replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    My reasons for jumping into nursing even though I already have job experience and education in another field are simple: I want to be a CRNA, and here's why - I graduated from high school, got a...

  16. Should I finish my BSN before or while working OR/ER?

    JoseQuinones posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Okay, let me explain my question quickly: I want to become a CRNA. I just got accepted into nursing school, where I am pursuing my Bachelors in Nursing. The same university also offers the CRNA...

  17. Should I finish my BSN before or while working OR/ER?

    JoseQuinones replied to JoseQuinones's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thank you very much for making that important point. I am not sure why, but the CRNA program here makes no distinction; it asks for "One year experience as an RN in intensive care, OR, or ER." The...
