  1. Are you about to graduate?

    Everything isn't necessarily getting on my nerves, but it is extremely difficult for me to persuade myself to go to class--I still do go to class, but it's a struggle. Studying is also blah right now....
  2. Stna 2 day clinicals

    It sounds like you're assuming your instructor is incompetent because she's had a stroke? My instructors have made lots of grading errors, and it's not because they've had strokes. Simple human errors...
  3. New Grad- advice!!

    kalycat, thank you so much for such a detailed response! I'm going to make some cheat sheets for myself based off of this information. The job offer is contingent upon passing NCLEX, which I'll be...
  4. New Grad- advice!!

    Following. I received a job offer for a cardiac stepdown unit last week. I'm meeting with the manager again on Tuesday and have decided to accept the offer. I have a million questions as well....
  5. what's your pet peeve?

    I took everything in me to remain as polite as possible. Made me so mad
  6. what's your pet peeve?

    Patient's relatives that won't touch or help their relative. Like a daughter that pushes the call light so that you can open her dad's milk. Literally. That
  7. Group project issues

    Wow. I can't believe people are having a hard time reading that. No, do not change it. Also, I would perhaps talk to the instructor about giving separate grades out. Your grade was lowered 20% too?...
  8. Taking clothes off for a head to toe assessment

    Exactly. I don't think it's crazy to want to be able to go to school without
  9. Taking clothes off for a head to toe assessment

    They used to. A lot don't anymore. Mine doesn't. Just because that's how it "always was" doesn't mean it was the best solution. Although I do wish my school would let us practice IVs on each
  10. I was a stripper ..

    Thankfully nurses aren't Angels. I say thankfully because if they were, I wouldn't be in school right now. Plus, this member isn't professionally caring for you; this is a random Internet forum. So...
  11. Shift work and dating

    NurseGirl I can relate. I found one of my best friends and running buddies through Tinder of all places! We never went on a date and never flirted, but we just really work as friends. It's perfect!...
  12. Shift work and dating

    Lol! Well if he has all that going on, may as well let him play video games all day
  13. Shift work and dating

    I know a 35 year old video game addict. His marriage actually failed, and a HUGE part of it was video games. It was almost unreal. He literally would not come home at night because he "lost track of...
  14. Taking clothes off for a head to toe assessment

    See I just feel horrible for students who are insecure, who've suffered abuse, or who's religion requires modesty. I learned how to do a bed bath just fine on the sims. As far as lung sounds go, I...
  15. Eliminating Physicians/Medical Schools

    Actually, they do get healthcare experience in school. Some pre-med programs even offer healthcare
  16. Shift work and dating

    Yeah...video games are fine. I'll study while a guy is playing them. I'll join too if he doesn't mind losing horribly! But dropping out of college and playing video games all day long? The next move...
  17. Eliminating Physicians/Medical Schools

    I'm actually very sick and tired of seeing these types of questions. Nursing can't be respected by be medical world if nurses try to one-up them, claim nurses are smarter, claim nurses work harder....
  18. Eliminating Physicians/Medical Schools

    No
  19. Feeling a little down about taking a summer class

    I am taking 3 summer courses and I am not a happy camper. But I would much rather get these classes out of the way while I can. One summer of diligence won't hurt you. Maybe you'll meet more friends...
  20. What do you think of Elsevier ebooks / PageBurst?

    I love them. When reading and studying, I have a split screen between PageBurst and Word. I love that I can highlight in PageBurst, make bookmarks, keep my place, and drag charts straight from...
  21. Taking clothes off for a head to toe assessment

    I never had to remove clothing. We practiced on each other over tank tops. What is up with all these schools requiring students to partially undress in the learning environment? This is seriously...
  22. Shift work and dating

    Love
  23. Shift work and dating

    Yes. And I've had even worse luck with the men I've met out and about! If only I'd looked at the grocery store instead of the
  24. Shift work and dating

    Plenty of Fish (surprisingly) and I *think* Match.com, though I'm not entirely sure. Sites like POF are like the casinos to me. You go in and you might have a good time, might find something nice. Or...
  25. Shift work and dating

    Have you tried online dating? I know online dating sounds drab, but I can think of three people I'm close to off the top of my head who found their spouses via online dating (and they actually are...
