  1. Acceptance/Rejection Letter

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

    Good luck dreamon8! I can't imagine out of 6 applications you wouldn't get at least

  2. frustrated....

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

    It really sounds like the instructor needs to develop a stronger backbone. Some students are like wolves... they smell fear and they pounce. The more they think they can get away with they will. I...

  3. Acceptance/Rejection Letter

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

    I just got my acceptance call from my number one

  4. Too Young..Rejected from Graduate School

    brandiep1982 replied to MyPrnPleaseBSN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    THIS. It sounds like you are a go getter. Like you get what you want because you work hard and you earn it. However... sometimes people who are so successful have no idea what it is like to not...

  5. Got written up AGAIN

    brandiep1982 replied to Justliving00's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, first let me say I have had managers and bosses that were nasty, that yelled, that were unfair... you name it. Your manager sounds like an unsavory person... to put it kindly. Even if you had been...

  6. St. Lukes Critical Thinking Test

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

    Are you referring to the Kansas City St. Luke's

  7. nursing advice

    brandiep1982 replied to javierh93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I read that as well. My advisors at my current school also told me this.. however, I have a 3.8 and all the schools I am applying to keep acting and looking impressed with my GPA. Straight A's helps,...

  8. What school to choose? Please help!

    brandiep1982 replied to lk_nynurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This means the forum where you originally posted this was not the best forum to get the most responses, so an admin moved your post to a better forum to improve your chances of getting more

  9. What school to choose? Please help!

    brandiep1982 replied to lk_nynurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Only you can really decide what is best for you and your family. That being said, speed is not always the best way to do things. If it were me I would probably go with the school that allows me to...

  10. nursing advice

    brandiep1982 replied to javierh93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Math is pretty important. The classes that nursing schools look at to see if you will likely succeed in nursing school are math, sciences and english classes (this is what all the schools I am...

  11. SHORTAGE OF NURSES

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

    Those baby boomers getting close to retirement age means they are getting older, regardless of whether they actually retire or not... which means more health issues as they age, which means we will...

  12. Was my professor out of line?

    brandiep1982 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    See, this is lack of creativity. It is easy to assume that she is trying to blame family, rather than spend a few more minutes trying to come up with other things that could be causing it. I think I...

  13. Was my professor out of line?

    brandiep1982 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    I would be with you on this if I actually perceived the OP as blaming her family for her failings. First, she hasn't told us she failed anything, only that she was struggling. And the professor didn't...

  14. Acceptance/Rejection Letter

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

    Just got a call from my first choice school inviting me in for an interview!!! SO excited.... and scared to

  15. Was my professor out of line?

    brandiep1982 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    I feel like with this comment, we are essentially saying the same thing. However, hindsight it 20/20. It may have been more helpful to say "my goal is..." when the instructor asked what her priorities...

  16. Was my professor out of line?

    brandiep1982 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    That is an excellent quote. It explains that to bend, yet not ever break, is strength. I would interpret bending to be exactly what I mentioned doing. I would say breaking would be to lie about my...

  17. Was my professor out of line?

    brandiep1982 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    I think what I am observing in a lot of these posts is the idea that if something is first priority then anything after that has no priority, and this maybe from both sides. This may be causing a lot...

  18. Was my professor out of line?

    brandiep1982 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    I hardly think answering your instructor when she asks where your personal priorities lie is comparable to how you talk to your patients. It's not a fair comparison by any measurement. The idea that...

  19. Was my professor out of line?

    brandiep1982 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    I don't recall the OP ever saying the instructor was a "horrible person". She felt the instructor was out of line. We all get out of line from time to time... that doesn't make us horrible people...

  20. 97% O2 with NRM

    brandiep1982 replied to iluvnoodles's topic in Emergency

    Are his nasal passages

  21. Driving on a Suspended 15 years ago in MO

    brandiep1982 posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Ok, 15 years ago, I was a stupid kid. I got a speeding ticket and my boyfriend (just as immature) told me if I paid it late there would just be a late fee... no big deal. Well, before I paid it I got...

  22. Driving on a Suspended 15 years ago in MO

    brandiep1982 replied to brandiep1982's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Thank you Jadelpn. :) YEs, I made sure the proper people were aware of my driving on a suspended and revoked driver's license from when I was a kid. So, they know. I just thought that maybe nursing...

  24. Calling a transgender patient an "it"

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

    Children have been removed from parents for verbal abuse. If we abuse our patients verbally, we should be held just as accountable as if we physically harm them. I know making verbal abuse just as...

  25. Calling a transgender patient an "it"

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

    I appreciate what you are saying here and agree. However, my response was in no way emotional. It is completely logical. Verbal abuse is just as damaging, and sometimes more damaging, than physical...
