    The film: Vaxxed.

    pixierose replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    So how many is "many parents?" I call shenanigans. Sorry. Again, 15 years of experience teaching little guys, many with autism. Never met one parent. And believe me, parents of preschoolers with...

    What have you learned in nursing school that was utter nonsense?

    pixierose replied to TheMiss's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my. I wouldn't even know where to look. It's like driving by a car accident, when you can't help but look as you pass by. A terrible, 8 inch car accident. Standing right in front of you. For hours...

    What have you learned in nursing school that was utter nonsense?

    pixierose replied to TheMiss's topic in General Nursing

    My energy field was apparently (unknowingly) assessed during a yoga class. During the class, the teacher adjusted my position, moved on. Afterwards, she informed me that my sacral chakra was blocked,...

    pixierose replied to OCNRN63's topic in General Nursing

    So over it with you. Mental illness can kiss it. All the positive sayings and memes on the internet won't make up for that fact. But, just in case, I'm sending you fluffy happy white kitten vibes ......

    pixierose replied to OCNRN63's topic in General Nursing

    You'll overcome it. It sucks. It'll take a week or three. But in the long run, the benefit will be worth it. For me, it was easier to give myself the permission to be tired than fighting it....

    Amen, sister. Can you adjust the time you're taking it? I *love* Seroquel but can only take it at night, 30 minutes before bed. Took me about 4 weeks to adjust, too; longer than any other med I have...

    The film: Vaxxed.

    pixierose replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    I can't leave for clinical anymore. There's so much to catch up on. This caught my attention though. I'm a former SPED teacher, 15 years, and most of my kiddos were on the autism spectrum. I never met...

    pixierose replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, good gracious. Is this where it goes? I'm interpreting this as, "well, ain't got no evidence-based research studies to back my claims up but y'all know what? Research isn't proof anyway and you...

    As "informed" is all in capitals, I am assuming you have the studies. Can you cite them,

    pixierose replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    Sigh. I see no other nurses on this board "demeaning" or "insulting" anyone ... unless you mean by not taking your words on blind faith as demeaning and insulting. I see highly educated nurses asking...

    What Can't You Live Without?

    pixierose replied to portx's topic in General Students

    I second Amazon. Love me some Amazon Prime. Family and friends. Also seconding EXERCISE. Nursing school is stressful, and it's way too easy to just try to hit the books all the live long day. No no no...

    pixierose replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned (again) that daylight savings time can really mess with ones mood disorder. I don't know if it's the extra brightness at 7:30p but it's been pointed out that I've been a little hypo manic by...

    Paranoid teacher

    pixierose replied to rbytsdy's topic in School

    This just makes me so very, very irritated. When I send my kids to school, I trust that their teachers will do their job (and do it well). I expect them to learn. My daughter requires a 504 plan to...

    Paranoid teacher

    pixierose replied to rbytsdy's topic in School

    I'm not a school nurse so I'm honestly asking: are you really between a rock and a hard place? I went through two pregnancies as a SPED teacher, and she's doing a major 'no no' in regards to...

    Huge (((hugs)))). The biggest (((hugs))). I'm sorry. You may not be able to hold down a job *now.* That doesn't mean it's forever. This too shall pass

    pixierose replied to pcaldea's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh, OP... didn't get the responses you wanted, hmm? What exactly was a mistake? You were the one who mentioned your husbands comment; hence, others will mention it as well. Jealously is an ugly beast....

    pixierose replied to pcaldea's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "My husband is like maybe she's jealous of you and how much you earn or because she's single and miserable." You definitely lose my sympathy with this statement. Pulling out the 'jealously' card, ugh....

    What's it like having a flexible work schedule?

    pixierose replied to LucidDreamer's topic in General Nursing

    Ok. This response, with all the ***** and anger rolling off of it, demonstrates to me that you're not going to find nursing as easy as you think. Chill. It's the Internet. A group of anonymous...

    How did you get through nursing school?

    pixierose replied to Student2017555's topic in General Students

    OP -- check in when you get the chance, ok? We are a board full of strangers, yes. But we do care about you. Nurse's advice is spot on -- *listen to it.* Many

    Denouncing other people's study habits and/or schools on a thread addressing *debilitating anxiety?* Clearly you missed a few readings in your lengthy study sessions. Edited to add: here's your clap...

    3/12: what I learned this week: ALWAYS taper your SSRI

    pixierose replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    De-lurking for a moment ... to yell out in agreement: don't do it! I had a former employer find out I was bipolar when I was going through a tough depressive episode. She asked how I was out of...
