    What to do ?

    pixierose replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Oh HECK NO , this vague request ain't cool. This is coming from a former teacher. Yes, teaching ain't all roses and rainbows. School nursing sure doesn't sound like it either. When educators...

    Are There Jobs for Inexperienced RNs Besides Floor Nursing?

    pixierose replied to jack1971's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What year was this post written, 2006? There is NO nursing shortage! Maybe in the area where this poster lives, but overall - no. Bad advice with this ... and as a soon-to-be graduating nurse, at...

    pixierose replied to imsickagain's topic in General Nursing

    Well, gosh. I can't wait to be villianized because all of us here on ill-reputed AN begged to disagree with your poor attitude and decision making. So looking forward to that future post, OP. Ta

    During Clinicals, What Were You Afraid Of?

    pixierose replied to Shookclays's topic in General Students

    pixierose replied to imsickagain's topic in General Nursing

    Now I see where the issue lies. Maturity. OP asks a question, hears responses she doesn't like, then blames the posters and their reading comprehension, being unhappy/miserable beings being mean to...

    holidays... sick call...

    pixierose replied to imsickagain's topic in General Nursing

    Yeahhhhh, I think all that is a moot point when you call off on a majority holiday. Your bosses and coworkers won't remember that on Christmas Day. OP -- I think deep down you know your

    Got chewed out by my clinical instructor

    pixierose replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Students

    No, I'm sorry -- I'm failing to see the humor as well. Sim labs are critical parts of the learning process, and they are time well spent. Look at it from your instructor's point of view -- are you...

    What is nursing school like?

    pixierose replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, you're going to have one heck of a time in nursing school. Why? You're practically guaranteeing yourself a tough time with the "glass is half empty" attitude. Is nursing school tough? You betcha....
