  1. I failed out of Nursing School... Appealed and WON!!

    lovinglife2015 replied to ToBeBornANurseJB's topic in General Students

    And yet, while writing this article you didn't use your critical thinking skills to figure out how to avoid offending half of your audience --or perhaps that was your

  2. US Citizen with Kenyan RN, transfer license to CA?

    lovinglife2015 replied to joannanairobi's topic in International Nursing

    One doesn't have to be an African educated nurse to answer your question. It's very simple to understand: If you wish to practice in the USA you must pass NCLEX-RN in the USA. You cannot "transfer"...

  3. Was my professor out of line?

    lovinglife2015 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    We can agree to disagree on that bit because I don't think it's "honorable" at all to essentially blame your family for your failings. Had the comment been made in a different context, sure, family...

  4. Will green skin hurt my career?

    lovinglife2015 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You'll eventually be hired at a free clinic for $13.35 an hour. You'll then become a walking anecdote and give others of your kind

  5. Travel to Abu Dhabi or Dubai?? Any advice?

    lovinglife2015 replied to Ali_Cat's topic in International Nursing

    How so? UAE countries such as Dubai are far less extreme than Saudi Arabia or Iraq. Women have equal rights as men in Dubai. If OP has an interest she should definitely travel there, experience the...

  6. Is the student pregnant?

    lovinglife2015 replied to RNqueens's topic in School

    I'm sorry! I can't help but laugh at the silly adults(not you) involved. Because you were the one that spoke with the student, I wouldn't be surprised if mom wants to speak to you. So prepare yourself...

  7. Was my professor out of line?

    lovinglife2015 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    Bending like a reed means to be able to be flexible and adapt to whatever challenges and situations arise. If my instructor asked me what my priorities are, I would reply that 'graduating this nursing...

  8. Is the student pregnant?

    lovinglife2015 replied to RNqueens's topic in School

    Yes, kids hide "things," but the "thing" is this case is pregnancy and as I said, it's fairly difficult to hide a pregnant belly for most girls/women. Though sure, we hear cases of teen girls that hid...

  9. Is the student pregnant?

    lovinglife2015 replied to RNqueens's topic in School

    Who said anything about back patting? You can throw out that platitude and it may very well be true in general. I still believe that I would know if my daughter(not son) were pregnant. The physical...

  10. Was my professor out of line?

    lovinglife2015 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    Feel free to share some of those "other ways" that OP can improve school performance since that is undoubtedly more important than the "Catholic guilt" comment or priority rank. To bend like a reed...

  11. Verbally, mentally & emotionally abused by patient where do I turn.

    lovinglife2015 replied to nowdistracted's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, if you quit and find new employment, you win. Don't give him a second thought. If all of his caregivers quit, the facility administrators would finally have to do something about their problem...

  12. Is the student pregnant?

    lovinglife2015 replied to RNqueens's topic in School

    I'd like to think that I would know if my child was pregnant. I would also be highly offended if my child came home and told me that the school nurse asked such an intrusive question. I really have to...

  13. 1 Hour and 25min drive to school to become an RN? It's it really worth it!

    lovinglife2015 replied to MARI3LA's topic in General Students

    Of course, anyone can do almost anything if the dedication and circumstances permit. However, I would apply to closer schools first before going wayyyyy out of my way to attend a subpar(Kaplan)...

  14. Was my professor out of line?

    lovinglife2015 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    Yes, the Instructor's goal is to help student's excel and pass, but as soon as you admit to her that nursing isn't your top priority and your grades reflect that, the Instructor will fail you without...

  15. Nurses with ear piercings

    lovinglife2015 replied to hshuang's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Why ask for opinions if you're going to argue or try and defend your position? If you want to get the piercings and tat, do so. You don't have to prove anything by debating with folks that offered...

  16. 1 Hour and 25min drive to school to become an RN? It's it really worth it!

    lovinglife2015 replied to MARI3LA's topic in General Students

    Nope, that's an extra 2 hours that you could be studying or sleeping and of course, family

  18. Calling a transgender patient an "it"

    lovinglife2015 replied to Angeljho's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sure, anyone can hold any opinion about anything. It doesn't mean that your opinion should affect my daily life. Civil Rights laws protect minorities, the disabled, women and LGBT for that very...

  19. Was my professor out of line?

    lovinglife2015 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    At the end of the day, no one really cares(other than you and your family) about your priority rank, not even your Instructors. Instructors will fail you without batting an eyelash. She spoke with you...

  20. Calling a transgender patient an "it"

    lovinglife2015 replied to Angeljho's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Who are these "many people" and their opinion matters why? Oh, right --it

  21. Nurses with ear piercings

    Please. LPN's aren't going anywhere. ADN is

  22. Nurses with ear piercings

    lovinglife2015 replied to hshuang's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    What exactly do you believe that you're expressing with piercings and tattoos? You aren't doing anything original. Everyone and their grandma has piercings and tats now. In my late teens many of my...

  23. Nurses with ear piercings

    lovinglife2015 replied to hshuang's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Ask yourself: Self, does 7 visible piercings look professional and

  24. Calling a transgender patient an "it"

    lovinglife2015 replied to Angeljho's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's cold hearted, but so is calling a patient 'fat' or any other slur. Says more about the nurse than it does about the patient. I'm really interested to find out if environmental toxins(BPA...

  25. Loan forgiveness options? Help!

    lovinglife2015 replied to kaimkaim's topic in General Nursing

    No one is forcing anyone to take out loans. Many schools now require the potential borrower to attend a loan responsibility class before borrowing, so that one is aware of the terms. For my 2nd...
