  1. failing english 101

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to reka2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that there are a few things you can do: 1) Speak with your instructor, 2) Meet with folks in your tutoring/writing lab (your advisor should be able to help you out with that if you are not...

  2. JOBLESS

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to berhaelee's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It is never shameful to have honest employment. People do what they have to do to survive, and for some folks that means working in department stores, coffee shops, and gas stations until better...

  3. Mocked by teacher in post conference.

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to dmena14's topic in General Students

    OP, I understand you are angry, but there are plenty of examples of excellent nurses and excellent nursing instructors that such a generalization is wholly unfounded. Your statement leads me to...

  4. Nauseous vs Nauseated (another grammar lesson)

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I have many grammar peeves, but "irregardless" (I don't care if it IS in the dictionary now!) and "I seen" instead of "I saw" are two of my

  5. Mocked by teacher in post conference.

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to dmena14's topic in General Students

    Choosing to withdraw based on a single incident is incredibly rash. A more appropriate response would have been to a) talk with the instructor about what happened to ensure you were not...

  6. Undecided male nursing student

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to djk883's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "I don't want to cut myself short and go for nursing when I think I am capable of becoming a doctor." Perhaps this isn't the best choice of wording when appealing to a community of nurses about...

  7. Flu Vaccines. A Hassle?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to ChooSoul's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What exactly did they teach you in that microbiology class of

  8. Nurses in management positions --help!

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to OceanMindedRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi OceanMindedRN - Several of our nurses on this site are also educators, have stressed that the point of these interview assignments is to actually go out and interview a nurse and practice those...

  9. Voluntary Euthanasia

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You are SO off the mark. Sure it is convenient and less expensive to end our pets lives, and there are pet owners who will simply euthanize for a perfectly treatable, manageable condition because it...

  10. Sticky situation .. What would you do?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in General Students

    Hm. No. In many ways, taking classes online is harder than taking classes in person. Often they have more assignments and papers and forced discussion than one would typically get in a standard...

  11. Sanity Check Needed for Degree Plan

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to biochemist's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't actually believe this is the case. I think that a graduate degree is still the standard, although a DNP may become increasingly preferred. OP, if you only have a BS, you will need to do some...

  12. My Reflections on Nursing

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to sjalv's topic in General Nursing

    As a student, I have a couple of thoughts. My first is that your post was well written and clearly conveys the passion you will bring to your practice. I applaud you for being so positive and...

  13. Goodbye...

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Even in my short time here I have noticed that the character and the tone of the site has been changing and it seems that we have lost some excellent resources (thinking most specifically about...

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to puravidaLV's topic in Oregon Nursing

    And that is if traffic is good...During AM rush hour it will likely take you

  15. Portland-Nice place to visit but dont stay?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to puravidaLV's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Nope. With the exception of your description of Vancouver, you are perfectly incorrect. The areas you have mentioned are the 'burbs and are nice enough (and some areas not so nice). All areas of...

  16. Why does this man's personality change instantly

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to Butterfly92xo's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Is this a joke? Your treatment of a man who has dementia and a brain injury is what is

  17. Anatomy on Crack at my school

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to CastMemberR's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P at my school was a sequence of 3 courses and I spent at least 15 or more hours per week studying for lecture and lab for each class. The point of college in general is not to take the...

  18. What's your Myers-Briggs personality type?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to bekahinpink's topic in General Nursing

    Student, ENTJ, Type 7 with 8 and 5 wings. Most interested in community health and ED or ICU. As an ENTJ, I am always the odd one out.

  19. Please help me understand

  20. I need Advice!

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to Sanchkev's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would suggest aiming for a much higher GPA and acing the required admission tests. Although they do have minimums, most nursing school applicants will have a much higher GPA - at least 3.5....

  21. The Importance of Backing Up Your Work

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to Rose_Queen's topic in General Students

    Because I have multiple computers and like to be able to access school and personal files at work as well, I use dropbox. Since I got dropbox 2 years ago, I have not saved a single personal file on...

  22. help

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to Heidi_Tink's topic in General Students

    If you are looking at transferring into a 4 year BSN program at universities such as U of P or Linfield, you do not need to have graduated from CC. You will apply as a transfer student as a junior,...

  23. Serious poop discussion

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to Trenia's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I have to say that your initial post doesn't come across as even slightly sarcastic, especially given your edit. Perhaps your delivery needs some work? Every good satire piece has some clue...

  24. Is it just me?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to SPinOR's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The community college programs in Portland are extremely competitive and you want to get as many points as possible. You should really check out the threads in the Oregon nursing section for Portland...

  25. Course Decisions

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to TAF55's topic in General Students

    You cannot do an RN to BSN program unless you already have an RN. This is a bridge program that is designed for those who have their associates in Nursing. So your options are really BSN or...
