    I want to be a nurse!!

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to LucidDreamer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And this is exactly why I just love having teenagers on the floor. They're so rational and open-minded. No reductive thinking and over-emotional nonsense at

    students charting Assessments

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I'm fine with charting vitals and the stuff I did under the preceptor's supervision. I am not cool with charting an admission assessment, especially when I'm not the one who did it in the first place....

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Student here: No, it's weird and I don't like it when my precepting nurse asks me if I can do it. I'm not supposed to and I get put in the precarious position of having to decline the task much to the...

    What's it like having a flexible work schedule?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to LucidDreamer's topic in General Nursing

    Dude, you came at me (and all of us) with your assumptions about what it means to be a nurse. Also, no, you never apologized and I could care less if you did. And you don't read very well, either,...

    Why did you choose to become a Nurse?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to LucidDreamer's topic in General Nursing

    Well, your posts are riddled with fallacies (also, you come off as terribly obnoxious from your high horse since you, a person with neurosurgeon-level talent, are going into nursing so you can "have a...

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to LucidDreamer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was intrigued by the 9/11 one. I'll have to check it out. Also, I can still be the Nora Roberts of such and such and the other thing.

    Because part of becoming an adult is learning that, even when your plan is completely air tight, your world can easily fall apart at any moment and sometimes you're going to be miserable. You rebuild...

    Why did you choose to become a Nurse?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to LucidDreamer's topic in General Nursing

    This is a serious fallacy. You live and breathe nursing in nursing school -- it becomes indelibly etched into who you are as a person. It takes over your life. The job aspect of it shouldn't but when...

    I hate the fluff stuff

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to ZLindy's topic in General Students

    Ok, so CAM isn't your thing. The only fluff I resent being told are the things that we're taught as a function of our textbooks being out of date. I have no specific examples in mind but I work in...

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to LucidDreamer's topic in General Nursing

    Not bad because you don't read the textbooks in nursing school unless you're into not learning anything. Also, what you write are not paragraphs. They are a mindless stream of information that is...

    I have only positive things to report: 1) The best feeling in the world is when a pt gives me a custom-made pen scribble as a thank you. :) 2) I have adjusted quite well to getting up at 0430 to get...

    All jobs suck. Some jobs suck more than others. My job is awesome but there are still many days where you laugh to keep from crying. This is the reality for every single working person ever. If you...

    Where did I say nursing is bad for me? I love it but there is absolutely nothing glamorous about it - that is the truth. It's as blue collar as all get out. I just understand the reality and I really...

    Although your original post does sound very smug, I know where you're coming from. I've seen this with some of the pre-nursing students in my area as well. They seem to want to try to get to the...
