  1. Sweating in my scrubs... yuck

    liketheairport replied to RunninNurse's topic in General Students

    I use Secret or Degree Clinical Protection. Oddly, I rarely sweat anywhere but in my armpits, even during exercise. (Of course, it may have something to do with my temperature being 97.2 - 97.4...

  2. Too quiet to be a nurse?

    liketheairport replied to haileyjewell's topic in General Students

    I'm introverted myself! I'm not shy in the least, it's just that in order for me to rest and "recharge", I need alone time. Especially if I've been interacting with people all day. I've been told...

  3. What shoul I do in order to become a better sociable petson?

    liketheairport replied to NFYF's topic in General Students

    I'm an introvert. Not shy by any means, just not very eager-beaver when it comes to meeting new people. Participate in class discussions, it'll help you learn material AND somewhat socialize with...

  4. Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    liketheairport replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    You find time to post on here. See? There's time for anything you want/need to do, you just have to find it and stick to

  5. Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    liketheairport replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    OK, so you're not an auditory learner. Make YOUR OWN PowerPoints, geez. WRITE STUFF DOWN. PowerPoints aren't supposed to substitute for reading. I had PowerPoints for my non-nursing bachelor's...

  6. Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    liketheairport replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    Fair enough. I just think I know better about what this entails than people think I do. I know about other fields, and school isn't designed to be easy, no matter which field you're in. I just...

  7. Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    liketheairport replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    We are giving you the realistic picture. We're not calling you stupid, we're not judging you. If you take it as "bullying", then there is nothing else anyone can say that will help you. Please,...

  8. Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    liketheairport replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    ...nice try. I know what I'd be getting into. I tried it before, it didn't work because of MY immaturity then. The issue is not getting one or two Cs. It's the fact that EmilyEmily blames EVERYONE...

  9. Failed clinicals 2 weeks before finishing the RN program

    liketheairport replied to Blessed Studentin's topic in General Students

    You can do this! If you've made it this far, there is NO reason you can't do this! Sometimes doing something again helps you figure out how to do it best. Take it as a learning experience, and...

  10. Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    liketheairport replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    My mother has been a nurse for a very long time. She admits she's not exactly academically stellar. But, I know her, and she studied her butt off for nursing school. Every two years or something,...

  11. Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    liketheairport replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    Darling, those stats are manipulated all the time. The administration doesn't actually usually read the evals. And if they have tenure, no one cares. Also, if it's that much of a problem, why don't...

  12. Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    liketheairport replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    ...cough...cough...EmilyEmily, I tried. I tried to have empathy for you. I tried to show caring and ask you questions I thought would help, However, I've now read more of your posts, your responses...

  13. Is this common with teaching hospitals?

    liketheairport posted a topic in General Nursing

    This was several years ago, so bear with me while I remember some details. I had been admitted to one of the larger hospitals in my area. I was in DKA, recently found out I was pregnant, and was...

  14. Why info on white culture omitted from cultural compence in textbooks?

    liketheairport replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

    I hate the term "white people". OK, I'm a "white" Anglo-Saxon Protestant. But, Cajuns (or Acadiens) aren't exactly like people from Ireland, or from England, or from France, or from Russia....

  15. Advice to students

    liketheairport replied to donjon2015's topic in General Students

    Is it strange that I've gotten at least 70% of the questions correct in the NCLEX-RN practice book without ever having done any nursing

  16. Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    liketheairport replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    To the OP, academia can be really difficult, no matter what field it's in. Why? Because schools want to seem prestigious enough to get people to apply and enroll. Also, it's to test people's...

  17. Frustrated with my A&P Professor

    liketheairport replied to MissCris's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How often are you studying? Are you distracted while studying? There's a great app for Android called Speed Anatomy. I believe it's free, and if I recall you can quiz different systems. It's...

  18. Is this common with teaching hospitals?

    liketheairport replied to liketheairport's topic in General Nursing

    This particular hospital contracts with another healthcare corporation to be the go between my doctor(s) and me. I don't necessarily think it's the wrong thing to do, I just wonder how many patients...

  19. Advice to students

    liketheairport replied to donjon2015's topic in General Students

    That's what school IS. Any schooling will require at least SOME

  20. why so many negatives about nursing?

    liketheairport replied to confusedstudent20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, all the "negativity" applies to ANY profession/job/etc. I'm not a nursing student yet, but I've been working with the public long enough to know that people are typically greedy, impatient,...

  21. Flu Vaccine. Necessary or Harmful?

    liketheairport replied to UnbrokenRN09's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Personally, I've gotten a flu vaccine nearly every year I could. I'm type 1 diabetic and while my immune system is pretty strong apparently, the flu doesn't seem like something I want to have. Also,...

  22. Is this common with teaching hospitals?

    liketheairport replied to liketheairport's topic in General Nursing

    *redacted*

  23. Is this common with teaching hospitals?

    liketheairport replied to liketheairport's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't get clean linens everyday. I feel that's not the best attitude. They were learning on the floor I and other people were on THAT day. I don't see how mentioning it should be such a big...

  24. Did being a CNA make you NOT want to be a nurse anymore?

    liketheairport replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm not a CNA yet. But, there's a few reasons why I want to be a CNA and hopefully go to nursing school. One, I always swore up and down to my amazing mom (who's been an RN for 40ish years and has...

  25. Is this common with teaching hospitals?

    liketheairport replied to liketheairport's topic in General Nursing

    I've been admitted to this hospital on four separate occasions. This was the one and only time I was treated like that. The other times I was an "example", they knocked and introduced themselves to...
