  1. An RN who isn't good at math?

    lovinglife2015 replied to nursingjourney's topic in General Students

    I obviously attended the wrong school. We had to pass math prereqs before we could take Statistics or Biology or Chemistry.

    lovinglife2015 replied to nursingjourney's topic in General Students

    I don't know if this has been stated because I haven't read the comments yet, but I don't know of a college in the world that will let you take Statistics without requiring prerequisite Algebra or...

    lovinglife2015 replied to .Illinois.Lady.'s topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Of course, listen to BON and send the documents. I know several nurses still practing that committed crimes far worse than a traffic violation. Contact Legal Aid if you feel it's necessary, as they...

    lovinglife2015 replied to Tenebrae's topic in Nursing Humor

    All nurses do not have empathy and kindness, so don't perpetuate that lie. Some nurses do, some don't as in any profession. I didn't say that every other way is wrong. I'm just sharing a different...

    lovinglife2015 replied to Tenebrae's topic in Nursing Humor

    Just because that is how you cope, that does not mean that it is a healthy coping mechanism. Be careful not to crash and burnout over time. Laughter may suffice in the short term, but eventually...

    Compassion is having empathy and kindness for others that are suffering, not laughing at their expense because you're too immature to process grief or sadness or even neutrality because often times,...

    lovinglife2015 replied to Tenebrae's topic in Nursing Humor

    Please. I enjoy a good laugh as much as the next person. Andrew Dice Clay, Pryor, Foxx, Carlin, Rock, are few that crack me up. I however do not feel comfortable laughing at another family's...

  10. I'm failing out of nursing school

    lovinglife2015 replied to BusyMan's topic in General Students

    Why would you think that it's better to fail than withdraw?

    lovinglife2015 replied to Tenebrae's topic in Nursing Humor

    I'm quite certain that I didn't tell anyone how they should cope. Coping mechanisms are a personal and subjective experience. I did say that some of the comments reek of immaturity. My main issue was...

    lovinglife2015 replied to .Illinois.Lady.'s topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    You think that I haven't already checked my record? Granted, my ticket was several years ago, but I have no felonies, convictions or otherwise. Thanks for your

    lovinglife2015 replied to .Illinois.Lady.'s topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    How did you get arrested for speeding? Were you drunk as well? Warrants? I was ticketed for doing 80 in a 50mph zone. I was not arrested, I was given a ticket and went about my way. There has to be...

    lovinglife2015 replied to DorianFrancis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why didn't you withdraw from the 2nd class in time? That's another misuse of time management that you need to analyze and correct going

    lovinglife2015 replied to Emersont's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you think that you have what it takes to become an MD, go for it. Though hubris alone won't get you too far. Let's be real. LPNs don't(can't legally) diagnose patients. LPNs work under the...

    lovinglife2015 replied to VanessaK83's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I learned right out of high school during the 90s never to pay an agency to find me employment. Those scams have been around forever. A little common sense goes a long way. Go to HR directly,...

    lovinglife2015 replied to Emersont's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    ...in your opinion. Last I read, a CA CNA needs 10 years of experience before s/he can qualify to take the NCLEX-PN, so it's not as if CNAs are walking in and taking the PN exam after a few weeks on...

    @ BrandonLpn Why would you be angry over another person's success? I'm glad that there are alternative career routes for non traditional students. Not everyone can follow a cookie cutter educational...
