  1. Nursing loans really that bad? 120K

    blah_blah_blah replied to nursequery1's topic in General Students

    I spent 3 years at a private school (tuition is about 24k a year) and 2 years at a community college that I went to for free because state and federal aid and one scholarship covered it all, all for...

  2. what do you say to friends who want to copy

    blah_blah_blah replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I agree lying like that didn't really prevent the girl in my case to stop asking for my assignments. She only stopped when I confronted her. The lying thing was a short term

  3. WWI / WW2 Nursing dress

    blah_blah_blah replied to Parakeet's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Ah! I've always loved the old WWI/WWII style nurse's uniforms and caps! I always thought they were really cute. Work it

  4. what do you say to friends who want to copy

    blah_blah_blah replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    A similar situation happened to me last semester. We had to make a powerpoint for a class. A classmate didn't do well on hers so she asked me to email her mine so she can see what she did wrong. I...

  5. Frustrated

    blah_blah_blah replied to Klbrown90's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Don't feel too badly about it. It seems like you learned a lesson from this incident. I don't know the details of what happened with you, but I may or may not have made a similar mistake when I was...

  6. Just got accepted into LPN program, but I have 2 pending misdemeanor charges

    blah_blah_blah replied to Jeeeyan's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    If the pot and the pipe were yours, take responsibility. If not, I personally would not take the fall for this. Hell, my boyfriend would never let me take the blame for his indiscretions. Whose...

  7. Nursing and the sex industry

    blah_blah_blah replied to itsme0987's topic in General Nursing

    If you never used the account and never made money off it, I assume that your background check would come up

  8. Open mouth, insert foot...

    blah_blah_blah replied to Christy1019's topic in General Nursing

    Really though, Don't feel bad. I get questions like that sometimes. It's either that or people ask me "so where are you from?" They are 99% of the time trying to tactfully find out if I was born in...

  9. Frustrated

    blah_blah_blah replied to Klbrown90's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    How old were you when you were convicted/when the incident happened? If you were a minor, won't your record be sealed? I'm not 100% sure. Can someone

  10. Brace yourselves

    blah_blah_blah replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    Those states that don't participate in quick results must love to watch people

  11. Waiting in the ER & Heard This

    blah_blah_blah replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Emergency

    That's horrible! A lot of other posters here are also commenting on people leaving the ED just to call an ambulance to try to get in faster. What an abuse of resources. Talk about wasting everyone's...

  12. cover letter help!

    blah_blah_blah replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks for the tip! I didn't even notice the passive voice I was

  13. cover letter help!

    blah_blah_blah replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I didn't even think of that! Especially since I'm sure a lot of hospitals are very leery of nurses possibly trying to take advantage of employer tuition reimbursement. I'll just focus on my desire...

  14. hiding piercing holes?

    blah_blah_blah replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    I would also like to clarify that I did not mean to insinuate that you personally were passing judgement on my ability to act as a professional based on "what's on my face". I was referring to the...

  15. hiding piercing holes?

    blah_blah_blah posted a topic in General Nursing

    I recently graduated with a BSN and it's time for me to start thinking about interviews. I have been applying around and I want to be ready for when I get that first nursing interview. I have a...

  16. hiding piercing holes?

    blah_blah_blah replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! That truly means a lot.

  17. hiding piercing holes?

    blah_blah_blah replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    I understand that a lot of people in administrative positions (usually - not always) frown upon things such as piercings and tattoos. I'm not trying to hide anything, I'm just trying to find the best...

  18. hiding piercing holes?

    blah_blah_blah replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    Well said. My grandpa had surgery back in January and his anesthesiologist had a full sleeve. When he came in to explain the anesthesia to him, he was kind, professional, and phrased everything in...

  19. hiding piercing holes?

    blah_blah_blah replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't have an attitude if I had asked for people's opinions on my piercing or whether or not they thought it was professional. There are plenty of threads on here that I do not agree with,...

  20. hiding piercing holes?

    blah_blah_blah replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your kind words :) that's great advice about the interview too. If it came down to it I'd let it close up if my dream facility wanted me to. I love my piercing, but I love nursing

  21. hiding piercing holes?

    blah_blah_blah replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    I would like to think that on a forum of (presumably) mature adults one would refrain from posting on a thread if they have nothing helpful to say. I want to cover up the hole so it isn't a...

  22. hiding piercing holes?

    blah_blah_blah replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    I totally understand the risk of having one. That's why even if I work for a facility that allows it I still wouldn't wear it. I can just see the ball falling into an open wound during a dressing...

  23. hiding piercing holes?

    blah_blah_blah replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    Aw you really had to let it close? You couldn't just take it out for work? I've had my jewelry out for 12+ hours for school clinical and it never closed but I know nose piercings close up quick. Sorry...

  24. Waiting in the ER & Heard This

    blah_blah_blah replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Emergency

    This behavior irritates me. My grandpa fell in the kitchen and we (myself and my grandma) couldn't get him up. I'm not strong enough to lift 190 pounds of dead weight off the floor and my brother was...

  25. hiding piercing holes?

    blah_blah_blah replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely leave it in if I knew that the facility was okay with it. I'd just hate to lose a job opportunity over something so small. I personally think it's silly that a lot of facilities...
