  1. Not having a car during nursing school.

    Miss.LeoRN replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Students

    Not having a vehicle isn't the end of the world. If you are determined enough you will be fine, and there are plenty of options open to you. Public transportation. What are your options? How reliable...

  2. How to not Fail/Get kicked out/Get bullied?

    Miss.LeoRN replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    I had the same concern when I was accepted, after lurking here a while. I've had no issues at all. My professors are wonderful. My experience had been both trying, frustrating, overwhelming, and...

  3. name change

    Miss.LeoRN replied to NursingOn27's topic in General Students

    I did the sorta "cheating" way. I hyphenated. It was extremely difficult for me to change my name after I moved to NJ because of their specific requirements. Long story short, this is my second...

  4. Nursing school mean clinical instructors

    Miss.LeoRN replied to Gigi143's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry that this is happening to you, or that you feel that this is the environment you are in. I don't understand why you would wait until 2 weeks before clinical is over to want to do anything...

  5. Thoughts on ADD/ADHD Medication

    Miss.LeoRN replied to CLin's topic in General Students

    Everything has a side effect. You already mentioned that you know medication effects people differently. This applies to side effects. They too effect people differently. Some people experience the...

  6. what nurses do if a patient wants blood transfusions

    Miss.LeoRN replied to yayita's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Religious reasons? I'd like to know what those are. I've never come across ANY religious reservations against GIVING someone ELSE a blood transfusion. I know, personally, that witnesses do not want...

  7. First exam, feeling discouraged :(

    Miss.LeoRN replied to shells31's topic in General Students

    First is the worst. I'm sure they told you it would be hard. Now you understand. Nursing exams require a whole new level of thinking foe most people. Now that you know what is expected and have...

  8. I want my MSN, but...

    Miss.LeoRN replied to rumwynnieRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I was just considering making a topic on this as well! I feel the exact same as you. I saw the forum on Clinical Nurse Specialist, but it looks like it's an almost dead field that was absorbed into...

  9. Hey so young nurses, are we really making "that much"?

    Miss.LeoRN replied to tarotale's topic in General Nursing

    That might not be too far off actually. The higher your check, the more taxes... granted it's roughly the same %, but I know my husband nets just over 2000 on his take home, and his tax deductions...

  10. Completely heartbroken over unethical instructor

    Miss.LeoRN replied to feelinglost's topic in General Students

    So let me see if I follow... You didn't get into the clinical's you want. You were placed in one your professor thought would fit you, and I am sure there is a clause somewhere about clinical...

  11. ATI-Modules

    Miss.LeoRN replied to asatasuah's topic in General Students

    My school is the exact same way. What's worse is when your syllabus says "All Modules" and then one of your faculty will go "No, You just needed to first two." Wonderful. So what did I I spent three...

  12. Do you think nursing programs can benefit from more rigorous prerequisites?

    Miss.LeoRN replied to richardgecko's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you visited the pre-nursing forums at all? There are plenty of higher level pre-req's for Nursing classes. I don't know where you're getting your information from. Perhaps just your program is...

  13. Throwing out pillows!? Does anyone else do this!?

    Miss.LeoRN replied to paramedic-RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Because there's nothing better to put in landfills and trash our planet with than pillows and linens that could easily be laundered just because you (general, nonspecific) find them

  14. Advice needed!! Lazy peer!

    Miss.LeoRN replied to KStudentNurse70's topic in General Students

    I get people who will ask me for previous class work all the time. I tell them I don't have it or didn't keep

  15. Disabled seems to have some new meaning!

    Miss.LeoRN replied to suanna's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This.

  16. personality test for job interview

    Miss.LeoRN replied to BrendaH84's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm the type of person who will circle the closest thing to an answer and the write a small now down in the marine or along side

  17. How does everyone else survive while you go to school?

    Miss.LeoRN replied to blackberry74's topic in General Students

    Start adjusting now. It will be easier. Start living like you have one quarter less of your check every couple of months. This will allow you to adjust your lifestyle and budget to the lower amount,...

  18. Disabled seems to have some new meaning!

    Miss.LeoRN replied to suanna's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow. The attitude and judgement of this thread is appalling. I'm sorry that someone doesn't meet YOUR stereotypical standard of what someone who lives in poverty should look like and live with or...

  19. HIPAA?

    Miss.LeoRN replied to IThinkICan100's topic in General Students

    Nvm!

  20. Throwing out pillows!? Does anyone else do this!?

    Miss.LeoRN replied to paramedic-RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    By that logic you'd also need to use separate washing and drying machines, laundry bags, storage rooms... you don't find that the least bit ridiculous? Clean is clean. Maybe being a mother and having...

  21. Would you want your child to become a Nurse???

    Miss.LeoRN replied to myownboss's topic in General Nursing

    I want my children to do anything that they enjoy, makes them happy, or that they have a passion for. That happens to be racing and car mechanics for one, anthropology and geology for another, and...

  22. BSN without RN help

    Miss.LeoRN replied to equestrian0160's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    RN is a licence you get after you complete an ADN program. The programs you are looking at which require an RN are RN to BSN programs, which are for people who complete an ADN program and obtain their...

  23. Question; orientation went great except...

    Miss.LeoRN replied to Bjarte's topic in General Students

    Wonderful it's been resolved, but let me just say that if you go into this with the suspicion or thought of them "out to get you" you'll negatively influence your learning without trying. You'll find...

  24. Question; orientation went great except...

    Miss.LeoRN replied to Bjarte's topic in General Students

    I agree with some of the others. I would simply get the men's jacket, have it embroidered or patched, and wear that one. I wouldn't say anything to anyone. Are there other men in your program? What do...

  25. Can a student get into another nursing school after not succeeding in another?

    Miss.LeoRN replied to danedsel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry I am the one to say this, but... if you have already failed twice in one program, what makes you think you can succeed in another? That probably comes off a little more harsh than I mean it to,...
