    MinneNurse replied to Kdao's topic in General Nursing

  2. Quit during orientation

    MinneNurse replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    Please run as far away from the healthcare field as you can, as fast as you can, for the sake of everyone, including yourself. You do not belong as a caregiver for anyone in any capacity whatsoever....

    MinneNurse replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School, College Programs

  5. What is the freaking deal with OB?

    MinneNurse replied to Mavrick's topic in General Students

    My best advice is don't rule anything out and say you'd never want to do it if you haven't done yet, and don't expect to love anything you haven't done yet. Nursing is an amazing world of...

  9. **HELP!!*** New & Lost to the Nursing World

    MinneNurse replied to sophia33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It definitely varies from school to school and program to program. Where are you looking to attend school? I see you tagged California in this post, thats pretty broad, North, South? Maybe not Cali at...

  10. Reading Hospital School of Health Sciences

    MinneNurse replied to darango's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    MinneNurse replied to ana377's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  12. Nurses with ear piercings

    MinneNurse replied to hshuang's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I agree, you should clarify first. As I mentioned in my earlier post, we are only allowed to wear one earring per ear and it must be in the lobe and it must be a stud. Our handbook doesn't mention the...

    MinneNurse replied to aarchie09's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    MinneNurse replied to Infofreak411's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Everyone is always going to have an opinion but the one that matters most is yours! What I found going to nursing school is everyone is going to have an opinion about the decisions you make and they...

  17. SCSU vs Metropolitan State

    MinneNurse replied to goldenanchor's topic in General Nursing

    MinneNurse replied to QuietRiot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  20. why do nurses need to be licensed?

    MinneNurse replied to Infofreak411's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I haven't witnessed anyone insinuating that they are better than anyone else. Passing the NCLEX, Bar Exam, etc. doesn't make them "better" and nobody is saying it does. Not to be redundant but it's...

    MinneNurse replied to MinneNurse's topic in General Students

  23. GOD in NURSE is the Difference!

    MinneNurse replied to sunkanmiolaniyi's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I'm not discouraging anyone from having faith, but I truly believe that sometimes it is best to find a separation between God and health. It is easy to proclaim it was "God's work", "God's plan" or...

  24. Possibly Odd Question

    MinneNurse replied to want2b3's topic in General Students

    I think if you are considering nursing as a career path, you should do more research about nursing, the future of nursing, and the role of nurses. Your question is really vague and what nursing...
