    Sadly, discrmination against male nurses still rampant in job applic process

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to Ecstatic2014's topic in Male Nursing Students

    What does being a man have to do with being a good nurse? Nothing. But it does have to do with getting more diverse people in who otherwise might not pursue nursing because it is viewed as primarily a...

    nursing school is hard

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to Nurseoo's topic in General Students

    This is why you must start NCLEX prep on the very first day of school. This helps tremendously in preventing this kind of

    Certified nursing assistants not welcome!

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to Barbie8808's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm just going to jump in here and say CNA/PCT/NA/SN/etc. work is not the backbone of nursing. It just isn't. By the very definition, CNAs assist nurses so that they can do the things that are the...

    Gender bias

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to Zooey72's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It's intriguing (and a little panic-inducing) how riled up people get about affirmative action and measures used to promote diversity. OP, I appreciate where you are coming from. Consider this your...

    Maryland nursing program that doesn't require TEAS

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to smallwonders07's topic in School, College Programs

    The TEAS is very basic knowledge. She would not last in an ADN program without a firm grasp on this information. And honestly, she probably wouldn't last in many other fields as well. Time for a...

    Overheard at the coffee shop

    I agree that, especially for salespeople who have a nursing background, they are crucial to getting good equipment to the places they know need it the most. Now that I'm in nursing school, I can see...

    They'll figure it out when they go to clinicals for specialties that rarely have UAP help -- like L&D. Or, when they precept with a nurse who has too many high acuity total care

    Overheard at the coffee shop

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

    When I was desperately unemployed, I considered the pharm/medical tech sales rep route. But then I realized I wasn't a ho and couldn't debase myself like that. Especially in the pharm rep industry,...

    Any thoughts of USA infant mortality rate

    My bet is on the fact that we can technically push the limits of saving extreme premies. We have the technology but the practical implementation is leaving much to be

    Holy cow! My book total is how much?!

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to MeiDei's topic in General Students

    I personally wish we got that ATI package. Ours was $300 cheaper and I am really missing some of the awesome content that comes with the $750 package. A $190 app,

    Managing fitness in Nursing school

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to natmanzo's topic in General Students

    It seems like you're going to be fine but my one tip to keep you on track would be to give yourself ample permission to work out whenever you feel the need to. In other words, as much as studying is a...

    It's not my job to pray with you.

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Exactly. I could never fathom why that is -- however, the backlash once it was announced, even from people in my own cohort who are 10 years younger than me, is saddening in 2015. However, there is a...

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Okay, I don't think anyone under normal circumstances should feel that it's too far out there to just be quiet, hold their hand and hold down for them. I was not raised in a religious household but...

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I think a lot of it right now is that certain Christians feel, at least in the US, that they are experiencing their rights being compromised d/t gay marriage finding the affirmation of SCOTUS. Some...

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Holistic nursing, FYI, is not solely about praying or providing spiritual support. It entails SO much more than that. Prayer or religious support can be a small or even non-existant part of holistic...

    The Current Nursing Shortage Issue

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to AliceGlue1997's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't get these "interview a nurse" assignments. I think this is usually the type of stuff reserved for pre-nursing "intro" courses. I can't imagine any legitimate program having it's instructors...
