  1. Wearing skirts as a nurse

    Eclectic Swain replied to purplescrubs15's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    The view that a woman should not wear pants isn't biblical. My parents had a belief that I disagreed with and they gave me an ultimatum to either practice their belief or leave. They did not expect me...

  2. Advice on creepy doctors?

    Eclectic Swain replied to carterr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    On behalf of gentlemen everywhere, I apologize. Knock that guy off his god-complex

  3. I made poor judgments during my university days and need some real advice.

    Eclectic Swain replied to jyoo1017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my school, only pre-req courses are factored and only the higher of two attempts if the first attempt at the class is a fail. For me personally, I had failed some general classes that counted as a...

  4. LSU BSN Fall 2015

    Eclectic Swain replied to ntassin's topic in School, College Programs

    Perhaps the requirements the school imposes on us includes the requirements listed by the various healthcare facilities. Stuff like immunization and

  5. LSU BSN Fall 2015

    Eclectic Swain replied to ntassin's topic in School, College Programs

    It will be! I made it into a "page" instead of a "group". Bear with me as I work out kinks. PJ's internet is terrible! May have to fix it Up

  6. LSU BSN Fall 2015

    Eclectic Swain replied to ntassin's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey guys! Been really busy but I finally got around to making a page. This sounds silly but we are class of 2018, correct? I would also like a couple other students to moderate the page along with me...

  7. LSU BSN Fall 2015

    Eclectic Swain replied to ntassin's topic in School, College Programs

    Who would be down with a Facebook page for our graduating class? I saw the previous class did so and many people joined. Perhaps it would be a little easier to ask questions/get answers on a FB page...

  8. LSU BSN Fall 2015

    Eclectic Swain replied to ntassin's topic in School, College Programs

    Eclectic Swain replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    "Good whiskey, bourbon, wine... As a treat a couple of times a week. Dark chocolate ice cream from this brand that is amazingly smooth. Can't resist. French bread toast with butter and Nutella." Now...

  10. The FIT Nurse

    Eclectic Swain replied to NN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Some people can't take humor. And I'd love a pie for posting on a public forum; why would that be crossing a major line? On topic: how many hours of sleep do you forgo to do things you don't really...

  11. The FIT Nurse

    Eclectic Swain replied to NN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Woah, can you stop being a big meanie and actually contribute to the topic that many have now moved on to discuss? Only meanies want to hear from a "Crusty Old Bat" anyway so perhaps you should see...

  12. The FIT Nurse

    Eclectic Swain replied to NN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Holy canoli people are sensitive. Don't be down on yourself for this; nothing you said was malicious. And for those who literally can not reach a level of health that is better than your current one...

  13. Working Out 6- 7 days a week

    Eclectic Swain replied to Soliloquy's topic in General Nursing

    Imagine working an 18 hour shift and having NO pain on the bottom of your feet! Now stop imagining and look down at the gut protruding over your waistline under your shirt. Squeeze it. Grab it in your...

  14. How did you pay for nursing school? Help...I'm in a pickle!

    Eclectic Swain replied to dc1994's topic in General Students

    Work full time in the summer. 3 months can net around 2k

  15. Give an example of a difficult decision you've made

    Eclectic Swain replied to j0yegan's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My hardest decision(s): Responding to someone in the way I want to vs. how I should for both of us to be, ultimately, happy. It's a conscious effort; people really irritate me sometimes! :3 Especially...

  16. My Nursing Identity Crisis

    Eclectic Swain replied to Wmbog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am only a student, but I know there are nursing positions where you may not have to worry about being treated so badly. Look into administration or perhaps further for NP or CRNA. I hope some more...

  17. LSU BSN Fall 2015

    Eclectic Swain replied to ntassin's topic in School, College Programs

    Had mine yesterday. The panel members were nice and professional. The other interviewees also remarked about how comfortable the interviewers made them feel, so don't stress. Good luck, ladies and...

  18. LSU BSN Fall 2015

    Eclectic Swain replied to beccabeth741's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Nope! Going for Thursday, Feb. 19th at 8:30. That way I'll have no one to live up to and only the standard to set. Plus, I love the morning

  19. Anyone dating a med-student?

    Eclectic Swain replied to allilop's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Has any one ever considered a dentist? My girlfriend is in her 3rd year of dental school and she's THE best ever. She said a lot of the students who go on to be oral surgeons easily develop the...

  21. Muses of a Male Nurse

    Eclectic Swain replied to Brian's topic in Men in Nursing

    The male part IS easy! All I had to do was go through this weird thing called puberty; suddenly, a bunch of hormones made me wear red plaid shirts and chop down huge trees with an ax! Sadly,...

  22. Which nursing specialty has the most autonomy/independence? Apart from nursing practioner

    Eclectic Swain replied to Zyrv's topic in Nurses Rock

    I have a retired CRNA in my Theater class and she said that a CRNA could attain a high level of autonomy. Not a list of 5 but I am still a pre-req student and don't know enough Hope this

  24. 16 year old future Nurse,Help?

    Eclectic Swain replied to Astroidinary's topic in General Students

    Eclectic Swain replied to Astroidinary's topic in General Students

    Clarification: An AA is an Arts degree in nursing? I Googled it but got back American Airlines, hehe. But if it is a degree then it sounds like a lot of extra classes you don't need. My school only...
