  1. On Negative Feedback

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think there is a difference between "sugar coating" and tact/effective communication. You are demonstrating the latter and it is a skill. I do not see much value in sugar coating, especially when...

  2. Please help me understand

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to Clementia's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I am sorry to hear that you had that experience. Your experience, however, is not the same as other victims. Each individual is imbued with personal characteristics, traits, qualities, and past...

  3. Please help me understand

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to Clementia's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Unfortunately, it is a narrow view and does not capture the complexity of a victim's emotional status, resiliency, presence of a support system, or ability to take care of themselves/children....

  4. Stressed pre-nursing undergrad

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to student789's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Find a good tutor through your college and take the material one day at a time. Good luck to

  5. advice re dismissal from accelerated BSN program

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to angeweise's topic in General Students

    She wasn't being rude or hostile; she was being honest. We assume that is what you want if you are asking the question. While an ADN program MIGHT be an option for you, there are very, very few that...

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

    It's called reality. Not everyone gets a trophy in

  7. My patients would be horrified...

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to Kitkat1212's topic in General Students

    My guilty pleasures are young adult novels (Hunger Games, Twilight, Percy Jackson, Chronos Files, etc.) and the Disney channel. I am not ashamed. I work all day and go to school when I am not at...

  8. PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to scaredsilly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Really? Are you serious? How dare they update their own systems and fix a glitch that was never meant to be there in the first

  9. Mental health

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to Ackeem's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I think a troll would have responded to our comments. OP has not. Perhaps the OP would like to clarify his/her statements? I have a hard time believing that someone who is in their 4th year of a...

  10. Mental health

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to Ackeem's topic in Health, Stress Management

    My hope is that the OP was having a difficult time articulating what he/she meant...Rather than "laughing his/her ass off AT the patient" my assumption is that Ackeem was able to see the humor in some...

  14. Is This Bullying?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to roser13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You know, I am really tired of threads like this. People come here for help and you people just perpetuate the idea that all nurses eat their

  15. Dont know what to do!

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

    I hear that direct entry MSNs are having a difficult time finding employment for a number of reasons. It seems that you are better off getting your BSN, working, and pursuing your MSN once you have...

  16. Dont know what to do!

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

    LaCrock - there are multiple ways you can go about getting your RN, but it sounds like you have decided on a university to transfer to. If that is the case, then you need to look at that University's...

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to ari426's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You really need to look at the requirements of the schools you want to apply to. Most schools have a minimum GPA requirement. I would suggest meeting with the advisors of the schools you are...

  19. Post-interview thank you notes - do you or don't you?

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

    I am in the definitely send a follow-up thank you camp. My vote is for a card, for sure. Emails can be easy to overlook - especially if it ends up in spam - and everyone likes getting mail that...

  20. Generel MS vs BSN

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

    I am not sure I entirely understand your question. Master's degrees are not broad and general; they are focused on a specific area of study, and to be an RN you need at least an associates (ASN/ADN)...

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to apnurserock's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Esme, our very experienced and respected administrator, is not asking you to disclose your identity. Any smart poster would know that in order to have intelligent discourse, you must have an exchange...

  22. redirecting to old threads

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to OnlinePersona's topic in General Nursing

    Most of the time we really are being helpful by redirecting to old threads. Those old threads hold a wealth of information. For instance, when someone asks "what kind of nursing shoes should I get",...

  23. SCHOOLS

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to leontyne cooper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think your best bet is to use Google to find the nursing programs in your area, or nursing programs in areas you are willing to commute/move to. Also, please punctuate and capitalize your posts....

  24. What do you inspire to contribute to the nursing profession?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to nrseducator's topic in General Students

    Do you mean what do I "aspire" (as in hope to achieve) to contribute to the field or are you looking for what qualities I have that are inspirational or that I pull inspiration from in order to...

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to barachi's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Great attitude. Just keep working at it and asking questions. Don't skip things because you don't think they need to be done - if you were taught something, then do it exactly as you were taught...
