    I got reported to HR

    NurseGirl525 replied to katie92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why on earth would you say to someone you did not know, did your momma name you that? There was a much better way to say that. People are constantly offended in this world. But if someone is...

    Sex-ed

    NurseGirl525 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, now I see from your other posts. I don't even believe you are a school nurse here in America. We have our own culture here, the way we do things. They are not going to be the same around the...

    Sex-ed

    NurseGirl525 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm trying to understand what Media has to do with a sex ed conversation. Your job was to go in and talk about protection from pregnancy and protection from STDs. Instead, you went in and talked to...

    Ontario Nursing 2nd Entry2015 - Rejected, try again?

    NurseGirl525 replied to BONHA's topic in General Students

    6 months is not a ton of time in the job search. Do you have a good resume and cover letter? How are your interview skills? Also, you were lacking prereqs but applied to programs anyways with the...

    Professional Attire

    NurseGirl525 replied to spartan_nurse's topic in General Students

    I like the white shirt with purple tie. Purple is hugely popular right now with men. I see it everywhere. No vest by itself. I think it would be too casual for an interview and I agree too warm in...

    I feel like I've made a mistake signing this contract.

    NurseGirl525 replied to pixiestudent2's topic in General Students

    I'm not big on the town I live in right now, I'm ready to move back to the city, but dang if I had your setup, I would stick it out. Think of how much of an advantage you will have when looking for a...

    Changing careers with negative feedback

    NurseGirl525 replied to kh112079's topic in General Students

    I guess my question is you are leaving a lucrative career for nursing because you are bored? I'm not trying to be a smarty but I do get where your friends and family are coming from. Too many people...

    Sexy male scrubs

    NurseGirl525 replied to Betenhauser's topic in Men in Nursing

    It's not that I don't think guys want to look good. My boyfriend spends tons of money on his clothes to get the right fit that make him look good. I guess I've just never heard him use the term sexy...

    Sexy male scrubs

    NurseGirl525 replied to Betenhauser's topic in Men in Nursing

    I can see what you are saying, I just think I wouldn't word it in that manner. I never knew guys like to think of themselves as sexy, thought that was a girl thing. Lol. When going through my...

    Nursing School

    NurseGirl525 replied to eris08's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I also feel you need to learn the classes. You don't need to study them now, as pretty much all of it is not going to make sense to you. Enjoy your time off this summer and then when school starts...

    Failed nclex 4 times

    NurseGirl525 replied to Vano's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Do you understand why you are failing? You have had 4 shots at something that most people only get three at, and you want another. There is something that you are not grasping here. You need to...

    Getting Frustrated

    NurseGirl525 replied to 2bNurseMia76's topic in General Students

    You said you are able to work as a CNA. Are you certified? Did you take the class and pass the test. Also CNA stands for Certified Nursing Aide. Not nurse. I think there may be some slight...

    Help with mental health clinical

    NurseGirl525 replied to Jrhemming's topic in General Students

    We did not pass meds. We went to group therapies and worked on therapeutic communication skills. We also went to an addiction center. Basically you learn about dealing with the mentally

    help me decide

    NurseGirl525 replied to kim wright's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I would get with my doc and see what he says. See if he thinks it is possible. I'm sure there are many areas you can go in to, but I wouldn't think NICU would be one. I would thing to get tubes in...

    Advice on TEAS V Exam???

    NurseGirl525 replied to anicole285's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    A 90% or better is a very difficult score to achieve. Especially seeing as how you haven't had A&P yet. Get your prereqs done first, then look at the TEAS. It is broken into 4 sections....

    Med school vs NP? Your plans and opinions?

    NurseGirl525 replied to StayOrthostatic's topic in General Students

    You need to look at the nursing model of care vs. the medical model of care. They are different. Both are parts of a large health care team. The medical model of care diagnoses the disease and then...

    Single mom planning to go to school

    NurseGirl525 replied to misskristy33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a single mom currently getting ready to start my second year of the program. I started school in August of 2013, completed my prereqs, and started the program in August of 2014. I had some of...

    Quit during orientation

    NurseGirl525 replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    I completely agree that someone does not need to be a CNA or PCT during nursing school. I'm not. I have no desire to. I have various reasons as to why that would not work for me. My problem with...

    Pharmacy or nursing school

    NurseGirl525 replied to kgy5926's topic in General Students

    Pharmacy is not nearly as saturated as some areas as nurses. Plus, they make way more money. They start in retail at 85-90k. That is fresh out of school. I know there actually was a shortage a few...

    Nurse-to-be Needs Advice!

    NurseGirl525 replied to blondie333's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought the learning was the same, but where many of my classmates can only hear S1 or S2 sounds, I can pick up the S3 and S4 sounds, those extra ones like if there is a murmur. I was able to...

    nursing diagnoses

    NurseGirl525 replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    No. You can never use a medical dx for a nursing dx. The nursing model of care and medical model of care are different. The doctor diagnoses the disease and treats the disease. The nurse treats...

    Quit during orientation

    NurseGirl525 replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    I think we all got your point. The point you do not seem to get is you have a very unrealistic view of what nursing entails. You just do. First, you say the hospital was great but you just want to...

    Test day ritual?

    NurseGirl525 replied to LJR89's topic in General Students

    One other thing I forgot, my boyfriend bought me these beautiful diamond earrings for Valentine's Day. From day one he has for some reason just calmed me. He has been my rock. So I put those...

    Quit during orientation

    NurseGirl525 replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    Are you serious? You were already taught that in nursing school? Please explain to me what it is you think a nurse does? It's not just giving meds and charting. I think sitting at a desk and being...
