  3. When Faith Creates False Hope

    iluvgusgus replied to kabfighter's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I agree with azbluesgal. I believe a lot of it is guilt. The girl was obese and was having her tonsils removed to alleviate sleep apnea. Her parents should have helped her lose the weight before going...

  4. Quitting my job

    iluvgusgus replied to studentnurse9806's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I say look for a plan B and when they in an interview ask why you are leaving your current job, say because you want acute care experience and want to practice the skills you learned in nursing...

  5. Does going to a "top-rated" nursing school really make a difference?

    iluvgusgus replied to pantherfan14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In this economy, I would go to the more affordable school. When I applied to college, I got accepted to NYU, my first choice, and UConn. I could not afford NYU and was very upset about it at the time,...

  7. nursing isn't for everyone

    iluvgusgus replied to ceccia's topic in General Nursing

    Life's too short to spend it not doing something you like. I think I see that everyday at work, seeing sick people everyday makes me want to live life to the fullest and has made me question...

  8. How do you know when it's time to move on?

    iluvgusgus replied to NYNursingStudent's topic in Nursing Career

    I empathize with the OP. I work Med/Surg and I have been there a year, on day shift, and there are days that are boring when I feel like a pill-pushing robot. Some days are absolutely crazy busy and...

  9. Simultaneous admissions (vent)

    iluvgusgus replied to Morainey's topic in General Nursing

    Well that "unspoken rule" needs to be talked about now, you should put your foot down and say "no" when you dont have the time to take another admission. I think your nurses are just spoiled now and...

  10. Nursing exam questions are terrible (according to science)

    iluvgusgus replied to ericthered's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Mully: I studied hard and got A's on most of my nursing school tests, even though some of the questions were tricky and maybe not worded the best. If you know the material, you should be able to...

  11. Nursing exam questions are terrible (according to science)

    iluvgusgus replied to ericthered's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  12. Nursing exam questions are terrible (according to science)

    iluvgusgus replied to ericthered's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  13. Many Baby Nurses Aren't Nurses At All

    iluvgusgus replied to TheCommuter's topic in Private Duty

    Today I saw a PCA wearing a sweatshirt that said " (college name) Nurse" and on the back it said "(college name) School of Nursing". I was offended, not yet a nurse wearing a sweatshirt that says...

  14. Everyone Won't Succeed. And That's Okay!

    iluvgusgus replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    Success does not necessarily have to be academic. I would say I am an "Ernie" and although my parents were not well educated and struggled financially, I learned that I did not want the same life and...

  15. Fed up of Nursing and only a year in

    iluvgusgus replied to StaffNurseMcS's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Some days I think it is ok, some days are nightmares and I wish there were a way out. I got kicked hard in the stomach the other day and spit at by the same pt. I think we should get a cash bonus...

  16. 8 months as a nurse and I am failing miserably

    iluvgusgus replied to RN119's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I always check labs before I start the morning med pass because there is usually someone with a low K, so I get K ordered and hang it as soon as possible. I floated to the burn ICU at my hospital the...

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

    iluvgusgus replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students
