    Thanks for all the input. It seems that these days tend to hold more violence than most, but as a PP indicated, the overall rate is lower than it once was. I should've looked into it more in-depth...

    Wow, the limited vision in one eye would make me want to stand behind her if she ever had to fire. That reminds me of a woman in the news who tried to CC in a bra holster and ended up shooting herself...

    Tired of the Stethoscope, Now more!

    cracklingkraken replied to Flyboy17's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. When he opened with "Sometimes we don't feel like the most respected", I thought that there would be some discussion related to the working conditions or something. Afterwards, I was honestly...

    Did anyone watch the clip from The View? I'm only watching it because nurses are posting it on FB. I just thought it was funny that Raven had such a sour look in her face throughout the whole segment....

    They've dug themselves a deep hole. I think most people will still view their apology as insincere, and honestly, I'm not sure what they could say or do to make it sound sincere anymore. I hope that...

    cracklingkraken replied to jadabayyy's topic in General Students

    If you're doing the prereqs, I don't believe that you can apply to MSN programs. But I would recommend both BSN and ASN programs. ASN tends to be a bit quicker and cheaper. Check if your area hires...

    Classmates stress me out ? How do I deal?

    cracklingkraken replied to Student2017555's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Focus on yourself and your own studying. Eventually, they'll come across a class where the professor is different or the test answers are completely changed, and they won't be able to rely on past...

    I was lucky to have such wonderful parents. As a student who had to watch my friends with all these cool gadgets while I was stuck with my CD player, I used to feel like the odd one out. And we would...

    Too bad Starbucks has pretty awful coffee. I just like their specialty drinks (especially Toffee Nut. If you haven't tried it, we are not friends). I like McD's or Dunkin Donuts coffee more. And it's...

    Giving Nursing Another Go.

    cracklingkraken replied to sglim92's topic in General Students

    Good for you. Sometimes change is good. We often see people who have 3 Bachelor's already but decide that nursing is suddenly for them. I was just curious whether or not you were one of these...

    You should see how heated the nursing students are getting over this issue. I had to turn off my newsfeed because it was really starting to annoy me. Yes, there were stupid things said. But what did...
