  1. Changing my major?

    ORNurseCOS replied to lbuck's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think you've answered you own question - this isn't for you. The science's are hard but they should be enjoyable - if not then its not for you, they don't get easier. Sounds like you like the idea...

  2. Advice on creepy doctors?

    ORNurseCOS replied to carterr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Are you kidding me? Forget posting here - this needs to be reported ASAP and you husband has a right to know IMO. You've let this continue to long....and his mind you like it by not taking action,...

  3. I'm not sure what to do next!? I greatly appreciate any and all advice!

    ORNurseCOS replied to amandakatherine's topic in General Students

    I think you'd be surprised what schools you could get into. For one, your transcript history will tell the story of your progress and is a very common thing. Schools are very interested in your test...

  4. Anxiety creeping in - what gives?

    ORNurseCOS posted a topic in General Nursing

    So a friend and I are about to begin our BSN program - 16 months then were done. Our stress levels have elevated as we are just a few weeks out from starting. I find I come to this board for wisdom,...

  5. Anxiety creeping in - what gives?

    ORNurseCOS replied to ORNurseCOS's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder why this is - I've actively gone out of my way for about 10 yrs to reverse this in myself and when presented with an opportunity, no matter the effort I have to put in, I do praise where I...

  6. BSN then PA?

    ORNurseCOS replied to Mp31495's topic in Nursing Career

    I'd steer you to the NP because it's lined up with the BSN but what you want can be done - just not in a seamless, timely manner IMO. You would be basically putting the same amount of time in as a...

  7. how to write a letter to director of nursing reguarding nurse manager

    ORNurseCOS replied to brifitzzzy11's topic in General Nursing

    Hello. Sorry to hear that. If your contract is legitimately violated why isn't the Union Rep. addressing the issue? Seems to me that would be the best approach. This way no one in the dept. is held...

  8. Can an RN get a home based computer job?

    ORNurseCOS replied to lumbarpain's topic in General Nursing

    Just throwing this out there but I recently chatted with a Nurse from my insurance company - United Health Care I believe it is 24/7 chat or phone calls and a nurse picks up to address your issues and...

  9. Career change - best degree?

    ORNurseCOS replied to andrews33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's really about what you want to do. Realize that if you do the A.S. your going to have to complete a B.S. just to get a job. It is now required where I live at almost all hospitals. I personally...

  10. Help a Stressed New Med-Surg Nurse

    ORNurseCOS replied to newRNinthecity's topic in Medical-Surgical

    You really need to understand work will be fine in time, and if not you will find yourself in an other role - there are so many options so just ride out the wave so to speak. What is more important is...

  11. Need advice on what to do

    ORNurseCOS replied to LesJohnson's topic in Nursing Career

  12. Does it matter where you go to nursing school?

    ORNurseCOS replied to jpskys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Absolutely. Established institutions will have established relationships They will attract top talent from the other students, to the teacher, clinical opportunities etc... Reputation is important....

  13. Teas with no a&p 1or 2

    ORNurseCOS replied to ldb1018's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    IMO - Not happening - just that simple. If you want to try you would have to digest the manual then look up every single topic and read in detail - and watch every Khan Academy Vid possible. There is...

  14. Loan forgiveness options? Help!

    ORNurseCOS replied to kaimkaim's topic in General Nursing

    Ouch, sorry to hear about your situation, that is a heck of a payment. Serious budgeting and creative payments can go a long way with getting that loan paid off. With that said the student loan...

  15. Sadly, discrmination against male nurses still rampant in job applic process

    ORNurseCOS replied to Ecstatic2014's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I agree with the 1st response but I can sympathize none the less. Having been in a similar situation, I find it's all about attitude. Stop looking at your current situation as a negative and view it...

  16. New Grad feeling depressed, anxious and hopeless

    ORNurseCOS replied to MedSurgRN193's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Hello. 1st and foremost you've taken a good first step by reaching out on the board - so kudos. I think your next step should be to get a mentor at the hospital - someone you can talk to that knows...

    ORNurseCOS replied to PaleoNurse's topic in Holistic

    Hello, out of curiosity what 3 autoimmune diseases were you diagnosed with and are you saying you've been cured of them?

  18. Hospitals Firing Seasoned Nurses: Nurses FIGHT Back!

    ORNurseCOS replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't read all 17 pages but the majority. I don't believe a Union is the answer personally, but PUBLIC EDUCATION. To get the results we all want you have to educate THE PUBLIC....an educated...

  19. Preceptor Problems - Advice needed

    ORNurseCOS replied to dragonfire123's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Exactly. This is the kind of stuff that creates an environment of distrust and

  20. Preceptor Problems - Advice needed

    ORNurseCOS replied to dragonfire123's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I can't understand this at all, this thread is full of this. So the better move is to go behind her soon to be boss's back and whine and complain to her boss? Seriously? Without even attempting to...

  23. A&P 1 and major change.

    ORNurseCOS replied to anmckay01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't quite comment on all of this but here goes. #1 AP online would not be ideal - I'm not even sure how this could possibly be offered online, what about the lab portion? I found it very...

  24. Being complained about behind your back

    ORNurseCOS replied to joemomma35's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet but have been in finance since 2006 which is quite stuffy. I learned early on to stay away from all things unprofessional. You'd be surprised who will complain and moan all the...

  25. UTMB Summer 2015 - anyone?

    ORNurseCOS replied to mgrenwic's topic in School, College Programs

    I wouldn't worry too much IMO you're pare of the "2nd wave". I would assume they will finish the 2nd wave interviews then send out acceptances. I think its a good thing that they are still...
