    reluctantrn replied to daisy_duke's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Dear Daisy_Duke, Great name. Anyway, I believe that many states have a program where lawyers are provided pro-bono (Sorry if I spelled that wrong, basically they provide free service to low income or...

  2. Is it worth renewing my license?

    reluctantrn replied to rayshell626's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Dear rayshell626, If you look hard enough, there will always be someone willing to hire you, somewhere. So, if that is your goal, then it may be worth it to renew your license. Before you do though,...

    reluctantrn posted a topic in General Students

    Hey everyone, I recently posted about an issue I am having and the great people here at AN helped me come to a decision. I am getting the heck out of nursing school. Sorry I ever invested a minute in...

  5. Fed-up: Admin will not even meet with me so I can withdrawal. A warning to others.

    reluctantrn replied to reluctantrn's topic in General Students

  6. Way too many NP programs and grads!

    reluctantrn replied to momofm1998's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Dear EmergencyRN22, Good point. Not every doctor graduates first in their class either. They do have higher entry point standards and longer education

    Specialized programs set up by hospitals, that offer extended and intensive training periods (9-12 months on the job with classroom education) train nurses to be able to transition to PACU. At least...

    reluctantrn replied to reluctantrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Dear brandy1017, You seem very wise and I appreciate your insight. I actually did handle the situation pretty diplomatically at first. I always (in real life, not online life) believe is starting at...

    reluctantrn replied to reluctantrn's topic in General Students

    Dear Red Kryptonite, Thank you for pointing out that it is illegal to record without consent. I do not want anyone to do this, for any reason, nursing or otherwise, and then find themselves in serious...

    reluctantrn replied to reluctantrn's topic in General Students

    Dear ixchel, BSN, RN, I love your suggestion. I actually sent something similar to this already. I especially love your suggested signature...because that is exactly how I feel. How I wish we could...

  11. Fed-up: Admin will not even meet with me so I can withdrawal. A warning to others.

    reluctantrn replied to reluctantrn's topic in General Students

    Dear TheCommuter, You are right. I am actually in a blended program (part online/part face to face). Still, I see your wisdom and I do wish that I had found an online program. For ALL other education,...

    reluctantrn replied to reluctantrn's topic in General Students

    @Momma1Rn, The only person I am not willing to meet with is the director. I have valid reasons for not doing so. If you met with your boss and they told you that you were going to receive a $10 an...

    reluctantrn replied to RNNEWOLD's topic in General Nursing

    Yessss. That golden period after graduation when you have an real and extended orientation. I wish my 1st school had helped me to understand the incredible value of that time period and that I should...

  15. Way too many NP programs and grads!

    reluctantrn replied to momofm1998's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I could not agree with you more. And I see people graduating that scare me to death and, that I would never want to provide my care. The sad thing is, this is going to cause people to not want to use...

    reluctantrn replied to reluctantrn's topic in General Students

    I stated that if anyone wanted details regarding the abuse, then they could read my last post. It is all laid out. I am not trying to hide anything. And, I cannot just go withdraw. Only the advisor...

  18. Another GPA Question

    reluctantrn replied to KayGee's topic in General Students

    I suggest saving the time and money that it would take you to apply. No school that will accept a 2.9GPA is any kind of school you want to attend. Don't feel bad though, there are many other careers...

    reluctantrn replied to reluctantrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ok EmergencyRN22, truce. Online communication only allows for verbal communication and a lot is left out. You crack me up, in a good way, I mean that as no insult. Journalism huh? I wonder why? Not my...

    reluctantrn replied to reluctantrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Dear EmergencyRN22, I'm not sure why you think I have no option but to 'fight'. In fact, I thought I had made it clear that I have decided NOT to fight. I'm leaving the department, and looking into...

    reluctantrn replied to reluctantrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Dear EmergencyRN22, Your right, I should get out. It is also good advice to pick battles wisely however, I would prefer to not battle at all. In this case, I was drafted. I have no choice but to...

    Dear TeeZee, Ironically, I looked up the recording thing. I did so because this person's behavior is so bad that I refuse to meet alone with her ever again, and she was insisting that I receive my...
