  1. I Hate People (my rant)

    brandiep1982 replied to AlyaMF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, I am actually laughing. Good post. :) I catch myself getting irritated in similar ways sometimes. You sound like an introvert (with the whole wanting to see no people at home, and not liking...

    brandiep1982 replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    Ok, I just feel a real urge to say something... there are plenty of times I see people get "jumped one" on here... However, the only participant in this thread that I observe being catty is you, OP....

    brandiep1982 replied to canigraduate's topic in General Nursing

  4. I'm a sexless nurse

    brandiep1982 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Well... when we go home to our spouses we are still nurses/ healthcare workers... ***NOTE: I do not mean to imply that I am a nurse... I am not a nurse

  5. Your worst nightmare

    brandiep1982 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    OP, yes... for me, your story did hit a nerve. It is pretty irrelevant whether your story has "holes" or forgotten bits. For me, the scariest parts are 1) seeing a pt 24 hrs later die (no matter how...

  7. I'm a sexless nurse

    brandiep1982 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have time to read 400+ comments, so I am taking the risk of repeating what someone else may have already said. If I do repeat, I apologize. Sometimes people make thing too cut and dry, too...

  8. Can I get into Nursing Program?

    brandiep1982 replied to ellinore's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ya, not all schools do it like that. In my area, all the schools offer and require anatomy as one class, and physiology as

  9. Should I purposely fail my class?

    brandiep1982 replied to Rilesss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is it not possible to improve your grade? If it is not possible is this because of your job or because it literally doesn't matter how well you do from here on out, you will still get a

  13. Not working during nursing school?

    brandiep1982 replied to Infofreak411's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, there is a big assumption there. You assume the reason they use assistance is just because they don't feel like dealing with the stress of working while in school. If that is the case, there is...

  14. Not working during nursing school?

    brandiep1982 replied to Infofreak411's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ya, that's what I was thinking as well... working and saving up before school. That is something everyone can do. If you can't work before going to school, what's the point in going to school, right?...

  15. Not working during nursing school?

    brandiep1982 replied to Infofreak411's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can see how some people may abuse the system and feel entitled to be given something to make nursing school easier. However, I don't think it is fair to think all people are this way who choose to...

  17. Not working during nursing school?

    brandiep1982 replied to Infofreak411's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I get what you are saying here... however, we don't get to pic who gets help and who doesn't. The government does that. Also, there are plenty of people who abuse the system and don't really need the...

  23. does every rn out there hate their job? sonography/x-ray tech instead?

    brandiep1982 replied to Bailando's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't read the other comments yet, so this may have already been said. There was a discussion that touched on a subject closely related to this. I'm not sure where, though. A nurse was pretty...

    brandiep1982 replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Actually I made no assumptions. Those were my observations and I very clearly also stated there are also those in between those two extremes... which, as you say, would be where you fall. The...
