    Exhausted

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in General Students

    You can always say the "deers" ate your outlines. Sorry, I couldn't resist. Just repeat to this to yourself, "I can do hard things." That's what I do when stuff gets real. And I've been an adult for...

    Walking from school at night with deer and no street lamps?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in General Students

    Is that really all that

    Boyfriend of a Nursing Student

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to AZStudent01's topic in General Students

    I feel like you're still not getting this. You really need to know something: nursing is hard. A lot of times, there are WAY more serious things on a woman's mind than sex. We just don't have the...

    Walking from school at night with deer and no street lamps?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in General Students

    When you get woken up from their ridiculous yipping at 3AM on a regular basis, it's less bone-chilling and more like, "God#$@# %@$% ^#@

    Walking from school at night with deer and no street lamps?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in General Students

    Are these vampire deer or something? I would be more worried about the people. So, the flashlight, pepper spray and rape whistle are all in order, I'd say. It's just 2.5 miles. It takes me 20-25...

    What separates sucessful nursing students from the rest

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to Valcorie34's topic in General Students

    I think it's a sense of personal accountability that sets those who can apart from those who can't. The students who are able to go with it, know that everything ultimately is on them, and do what...

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    And when it comes down to it, those moments of corner cutting and not doing things 100% by the book are the opportunities to improve the working conditions of nurses. You are challenging what you are...

    Boyfriend of a Nursing Student

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to AZStudent01's topic in General Students

    Lucky you women aren't typically visual creatures in the same way men are. It's her brain that deals with all of that the best, not her eyes. Keep that in mind and you will be a happy guy, especially...

    Some people are too smart for nursing

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to Careerchange88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have gotten the "You should be a doctor, instead." comment. I was pre-med and I was for a reason. I much prefer nursing over doctoring. Just because I can do the school thing well doesn't mean I...

    Could this be discrimination?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to FutureRNKKP's topic in General Students

    The situation sounds kind of all over the place to flatly say it's discrimination. It just seems like a bad deal overall. I will tell you though, as far as policies go and who knows what, a lot of...

    Bad professor?

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

    I really question people's intent when they post negative reviews on RMP. I have also seen some for other professors that, in my experience, turned out to be terribly unfounded. It ends up making the...

    8/22 What I learned this week....

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    This week I learned.... 1) I have to start limiting my school and work activities to preserve my sanity well in advance of the madness creeping up on me. 2) I am able to do a lot of things if I just...

    Ati critical thinking exam

    Ati critical thinking exam

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to TexRN's topic in General Students

    Lol...I forgot about that exam. I don't even remember what my score was. I do remember people in the class below me attempting to study for it...hehehe.... It looks like you're good to go already...

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    I have to let you know that we are. I hold an officer position for the student nurse organization at my school and we do these *lovely* gatherings where students get to come and basically complain to...

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    Calm down. You haven't started yet. Your clinical experience may even be completely different from what the OP has described. Mine has. I've had good days and bad days. You will too. Know you aren't...

    Can't recall a term for cast?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to Jmarty31's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing I can find in my med-surg text is what's called a "bias stockinette." It goes over the cast and has lots of holes in it...I'm not thinking this is it though. I've never seen nor heard...

    Realized floor nursing isn't for me, anything else i can do with a bsn?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to enchantedlife's topic in General Students

    I wonder if this is a manifestation of the way these whippersnappers are now or if people really think it's possible to do things like case management fresh out of college () and get awesome jobs with...

    Anyone Who Says They Don't is Lying: Medication Error

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to BonnieSc's topic in Patient Medications

    There are 9 Rights now. (If you're curious - Right 1. patient, 2. drug, 3. route, 4. time, 5. dose, 6. documentation, 7. action, 8. form, and 9. response.) I believe our student handbook is only...

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to enchantedlife's topic in General Students

    Like others have said, you have no clue yet what bedside is about. You're just in the fundamentals side of things. It usually makes people question their commitment to the whole pursuit. However, you...

    I'm upset and feel very disrespected.

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in General Students

    Have you ever had any kind of a job before? One where you have to answer the phone and talk to clueless 'customers' who think that you're supposed to be helping them and only them? Obviously not since...

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    What is this about!? The majority of the students in my cohort do not behave this way -- there are a scant few that do and I want to shake them. Do they seriously not understand what being assigned a...

    Is going straight from nursing school to nurse supervisor a good career choice?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to Theloving100's topic in General Nursing

    You have a lot of red flags in your original post. The only concern you have is money. After you graduate, is this your first "real world" job? I ask because I can tell the difference between people...
