    Nursing students and their bad behaviors >:(

    pixierose replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Students

    This is a safe place to allow people to vent so they can go on their merry way to be happy, emotionally healthy nurses. That's the point of a (relatively) anonymous message board: support, griping,...

    Nursing students and their bad behaviors >:(

    pixierose replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Students

    I understand this. I truly do. But you seem to be bringing up two different topics here. "Other nursing students should worry more about themselves than the actions of their peers, whom they know...

    Nursing students and their bad behaviors >:(

    pixierose replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Students

    It's not "admirable" of me at all to balance school and family. It's what I signed up for when I began nursing school. There are many circumstances our fellow nursing students face during school. One...

    Nursing students and their bad behaviors >:(

    pixierose replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Students

    I have 2 children, and balancing my school versus getting them ready for their school was ... interesting. And, yup, there were (and are) a lot of crazy, rushed mornings. Welcome to parenthood. Just...

    Nursing students and their bad behaviors >:(

    pixierose replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Students

    Omigoodness, THIS ^^^. That whining about pushing back those projects and test dates. A whole 30 minutes+ in class dedicated to that 'discussion' about changing around the syllabus, etc. It never...

    Nope. They're petty and ignorant. And

    Slander by a student. What would you (or your school) do?

    pixierose replied to 4th Act RN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I can see where this would bother you, a lot. A student slams you in the worst ways possible, to the highest offices, bringing you to everyone's attention ... while they remain safely anonymous and...

    pixierose replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    (((Viva))) So, so many hugs being sent your way. So much love. After a busy week(s) of school, I aced my exams (98, 97), received a 97, 101 (!) on my two care plans, got called on for the lab...

    Your relationship with teachers-

    pixierose replied to linda1959's topic in School

    Aww, thanks Far [emoji7]. Yes, teacher going to nursing school (and with the exams this week/next week, this former teacher is going "What the double hockey sticks was I thinking????"). And double,...

    Your relationship with teachers-

    pixierose replied to linda1959's topic in School

    Good for you for standing up for your students. I'm a (former) SPED teacher and I've witnessed first-hand our school nurses/BCBAs intervene when a teacher was out of line. It's a difficult line to...

    pixierose replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    McCarthyism? Commies? No no no no no... I just had two days of exams and a long clinical day today. Just clicked back on this thread to read, got comfortable -- don't get it closed before I finish...

    Something Positive: Your 5-Year Plan

    pixierose replied to Wrench Party's topic in General Nursing

    These are fun to read. I'm just starting out (midlife crisis, goal #1): * December 2016 Graduate with my BSN * January 2017 Pass the NCLEX (yank kids out of school, go to Disney to celebrate) * Spring...

    What I Learned This Week: Retired Nurses-Where Two Or More Are Gathered...

    pixierose replied to OCNRN63's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that Harvard Square's Au Bon Pain closed this week, where they filmed a scene from the movie. I lived 5 minutes down the road when the movie came out, felt hip.

    bathroom accidents

    pixierose replied to CalamityJane08's topic in School

    Calamity, since he thinks coming to the clinic is a treat, can he "earn" a visit after using the bathroom at that scheduled time each day with no accidents ... ... maybe after a certain number of...

    bathroom accidents

    pixierose replied to CalamityJane08's topic in School

    You say you have the principal and counselors involved. What are they doing, exactly? Has this been going on all year, or is this a recent development? If this has been going on all year, enough is...

    bathroom accidents

    pixierose replied to CalamityJane08's topic in School

    Hold up. This child is waiting in stool for an hour plus? I don't agree that the student should be heading on back to class, unless it's a skid-type accident. I'm not sure how old your student is,...

    Do Antidepressants Work? Maybe Not.

    pixierose replied to Zyprexa_Ho's topic in Psychiatric

    M&M's can be used as a complementary therapy, no? I wonder if there would be a difference in colors: "For anxiety, eat 5 blue M&Ms daily," For depression, eat 5 red M&Ms bid." Voila -...

    I am a student NP. Should I put RN-BSN on my resume?

    Boldness to Speak

    pixierose replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Maybe it's because the mountain of school work has gotten to me today, or maybe it's because the kids haven't stopped arguing, but Kllove29, what the heck are you alluding to, and who are you speaking...

    Boldness to Speak

    pixierose replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    A friend of mine is a reiki master and believes in archangels but not God. Archangels belong to no religion, caste, or creed in how she celebrates it; it is far from uncommon. Speaking of

    Boldness to Speak

    pixierose replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    It's one thing to be "bold about your faith," but be bold about it off work time. I view it similar to politics; I don't want to be having a political discourse halfway through my shift with my...

    Applying for nursing school on antidepressants

    pixierose replied to kristinamarie55's topic in General Students

    Well, the poster you quoted was pretty darn blunt but sadly, I would take their advice. I didn't read it as a stigmatized reaction, but rather as someone who can understand being on the receiving end...
