  1. This makes me disappointed!

    I am dying laughing. Thanks for the comic relief. Worry about yourself. If she does this--IF she even makes it into nursing school, but that's looking unlikely--she's going to end up sad, alone,...
  2. Hi ladies and gentlemen. I will be starting my program in a little over one week, and I'm trying to do all that I can NOW to prepare for what is coming. I have all of my supplies, and I've read great...
  3. Worried about drug screen

    If if I recall correctly, the at home kits are around 30 bucks at Walgreens. It will put your mind at
  4. Don't you feel guilty for not working in a hospital?

    You said it yourself. This person isn't a nurse, and the only reason she thinks "real" nurses work in hospitals is because the only exposure she gets of nursing is on TV from shows like Nurse Jackie,...
  5. Quick and easy meals for busy nursing students!

    I like the themed idea! When I do use my crockpot I make large amounts of whatever it is. I recently made chuck roast spaghetti sauce, I've done white beans with sausage, and in the winter it's great...
  6. Patient NOT a nurse with a ???

    You're under their care and they are legally obligated to make sure you didn't fall out on the floor on their watch, or its their license on the line. It's not the most considerate, but I can see why...
  7. AS to BSN Question?

    What kinds of classes have you taken? I would suppose that as long as your prospective school will take your credits, anything can be applied to any
  8. Worried about drug screen

    This isn't a "I can't believe you did drugs as a nursing student" comment, but rather I just can't believe you would risk throwing all of your hard work away. I have smoked weed a handful of times,...
  9. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    This is getting a little juvenile. I like coming to this website because I enjoy being able to have a debate like an adult. Usually, the members on this site are all wonderfully educated and I always...
  10. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    None of us have any idea of whose post you are referring to in your comments. Please use the 'quote'
  11. Nurses who don't have the "passion"

    Job security. Definitely the job security. I mean...I'm a nurturing personality and I think I'll do well, but, I never had a romantic view of nursing. I'm not a nurse yet and this could change when I...
  12. Telling Patients/Residents You Love Them?

    Yes! I work with young children in private settings while I'm in school. They're not sick, this is just child care. I can't imagine being on the other side of the fence as a parent who has to work all...
  13. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    Which makes NO sense. That would be like me working in a male-dominated chemical plant, and being consumed by the idea that my mostly male coworkers won't be attracted to me because they'll think I'm...
  14. Microbiology

    Nope, but if you are strong in general biology and you read your chapters, you should do great. I didn't struggle at all. Thought it was
  15. Surgery right before school

    I had a tonsillectomy at the age of 20, so I will give you my opinion based off of my personal experience. If I had to do it again, I would, but that was hands down THE most excruciating ten days of...
  16. I'm not sure if nursing is for me and I am freaking out.

    My honest feedback: I think that orientation has psyched you out and now you're really overwhelmed and doubting your career choice because you spent three days listening to people come up to a podium...
  17. Need Help! Bad Professor and nervous WWYD?

    Some of the best teachers I've ever had were C- rated on rate my professor, but they required 100% commitment on your end too. The people who use that site go there to slam the profs because they...
  18. Is Nursing School " Hard?" Would You do it Over Again?

    Getting in was a breeze for me and I really enjoyed the ride. People made me so nervous to even try to get in to nursing school because of everyone feeding me nothing but "It's hard", "it's too...
  19. Telling Patients/Residents You Love Them?

    It sounds so uncomfortable to me. Almost like toeing the line of a legal/ethical issue. If you are speaking in a broad sense, like "Yes, I love all of my patients!" then that's a little better....
  20. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    It's curious to me that you're so nervous about coming across as gay, if you aren't
  21. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    You're being paranoid. Also, a straight male nurse with just a tad of a feminine side is actually my type. I like the bubbly extroverted types. They're fun, and they aren't afraid of their...
  22. So you're just a nurse?

    I don't very much care WHAT anyone thinks of my career choice. I'm becoming a nurse for me, period. When you grow up below the poverty line, "just" a nurse feels like a pretty damn good
  23. If she really is that horrendous of a presence at work, my guess is that she accepts far less compensation than others are willing to work for. That's usually why they keep the nasty ones around in a...
  24. Is it normal that my school doesn't teach us IVs?

    My school has dummy
  25. Need advice on how to approach my pre-reqs

    I don't have kids but I also had two part time jobs when I was knocking out my pre reqs. I took a minimum of 12, usually 13 or 14 hours each semester. My advice is to get them all done as fast as you...
