    To tell or not to tell!

    ShelbyaStar replied to XNavyCorpsman's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The last couple cheating threads I read generally advised not saying anything? Not sure what anti-cheating pitchfork mob is being referred to

    To tell or not to tell!

    ShelbyaStar replied to XNavyCorpsman's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A module? Really? You think that these people do these things because they have no idea that they shouldn't, and they'll stop once they perform a module? Remember that they all went through nursing...

    The Fat One

    ShelbyaStar replied to Pink86's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm also kind of wondering if this could be a cultural difference. I have a friend who knew a lot of exchange students. One was a male from the middle East, I forget where exactly. He just did not get...

    Being Bullied

    ShelbyaStar replied to sarahhg's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Excellent advice. I'd imagine it would result in her looking like IDK if I'd call it bullying so much as just being a nasty bee******** better not finish that

    To tell or not to tell!

    ShelbyaStar replied to XNavyCorpsman's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah, no kidding. I think everyone's jaw hit their desk. I can't imagine ever being so rushed or ANYTHING to feel the need to do that. Ew ew

    Need some advice

    ShelbyaStar replied to estoque's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Jeez. I was skimming and I missed that. If it really came down to it, I wouldn't go to that school. I'd probably try to talk to someone that is actually in the nursing department. If going to another...

    advice? so depressed.

    ShelbyaStar replied to Katlove10's topic in General Students

    What exactly is it that is primarily responsible for your feelings? Is it isolation? Unrealistic expectations for yourself? Having doubts about nursing? Genuine hopeless feeling depression? Answering...

    Need some advice

    ShelbyaStar replied to estoque's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm glad you talked to someone else. I was similarly disappointed at how many prereqs I needed and how long it would take, but that is just crazy. Sounds more like the first couple years of a general...

    Am I alone here?? Help ADD + anxiety + getting through nursing school

    ShelbyaStar replied to cb5393's topic in General Students

    I have it as well. There is a fantastic thread in nurses with disabilities called "I'm not lazy, flaky, or stupid". Not so much for study tips but for hope and understanding. It's actually what...

    Not a Nursing Question, but Has to Do with Work, So...

    ShelbyaStar replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Even small towns have taxis, and if nothing else the two blocks person can certainly walk. I wouldn't dream of even asking if I were her, except maybe in exceptionally bad weather. 3 miles is not...

    To tell or not to tell!

    ShelbyaStar replied to XNavyCorpsman's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    While these things aren't right, they are simply lazy mishaps and are unlikely to cause harm to anyone. I would focus on being a good influence and maybe trying to start some initiatives/getting a...

    The Fat One

    ShelbyaStar replied to Pink86's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I agree with the commuter. Not the best handling, but I'll admit in an attempt to describe someone in particular I've used non-PC terms that I'd rather they not hear. The bigger gal, the black guy,...

    Rasmussen College

    ShelbyaStar replied to varonte69's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know about Tampa, but the one in MN does not have a good reputation, plus it's very

    How far would you commute for awesome salary?

    ShelbyaStar replied to Noahj's topic in General Nursing

    I've done it before with a different job, but not even for good pay, just experience! Oy. I didn't mind it so much, I went through a lot of podcasts and audio books, but it definitely wasn't something...

    Other student needs too much help

    ShelbyaStar replied to konstantine's topic in General Students

    That's a tough situation. We all want to be helpful, and to an extent teaching someone else can be the best way to learn, but it sounds like it's well beyond a reasonable amount. I would probably be...

    Mispronunciations That Drive You Nuts

    ShelbyaStar replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I used to be a big grammar nazi, but realized it's just something some people really struggle with, like how I struggle with math. Plus, it's difficult to have perfect grammar- while spelling comes...

    Studying Anatomy and Physiology

    ShelbyaStar replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A dry erase board or something similar will be your best friend. Draw charts and diagrams and flow charts over and over until you get it for general processes like blood flow through the heart,...

    What would you like to see in your scrubs?

    ShelbyaStar replied to xo_mish's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Soft. Nothing worse than canvas-like scrubs. Also made for hips. Out of all my scrubs, there is one pair that don't try to sneak down my buttcrack and expose it. You would think that drawstring pants...

    The HARD Truth for most nurses

    ShelbyaStar replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Pfft then you'd be a fat nurse and we all know that's the very worst

    Should I take Medical Terminology for nursing school?

    ShelbyaStar replied to MntEMStoBSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took it when taking my prereqs, mainly just to get myself to part time status. Eh. Only slightly helpful. I probably wouldn't bother if I didn't have

    The HARD Truth for most nurses

    ShelbyaStar replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think there's something to this. Some people view nursing as being some sort of pseudo-doctor, but with less schooling involved. Nursing always has and always will imply care. Besides the...

    FLAME ON!

    ShelbyaStar replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is awful. Don't do it. Those of you that don't hate it are just too stupid to see the light. I'm too good for butt wiping. Why didn't anyone tell me there would be butt

    The HARD Truth for most nurses

    ShelbyaStar replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Wow. I don't think it's a terrible thing to find that nursing isn't for you. Some of the reasons listed here and the replies leave me scratching my head, though. I'm going into nursing as a second...

    Embracing Night Shift

    ShelbyaStar replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    Subbing, I'm a student coming to terms with the fact that I most likely will be working nights. I'm not a night owl naturally, but the more I read stuff like this the more I think it will work out...

    FLAME ON!

    ShelbyaStar replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Netflix has always recommended a long list of gay/lesbian dramas for me. Not that I have an issue with that, but I do wonder what about my viewing habits has made Netflix determine that I must be a...
