  1. It Ain't Like The Movies!

    Erythropoiesis replied to madricka's topic in General Nursing

    Never understood why. If 6 weeks of age is considered old enough to be enrolled full time in a daycare facility, then surely it is old enough to be cast for 38 seconds on a TV show. And they would...

  2. Starting school at older age! :(

    Erythropoiesis replied to Lessh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh wow. When I saw "older age" I was thinking 50+. I was accepted into my ASN program this May and I turned 24 in the beginning of July. When I compare "old" me to young me, I regret absolutely...

  3. Best Nursing School Stethoscope?

    Erythropoiesis replied to NurseAsh723's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    There is absolutely no need to jump and buy a cardiology stethoscope for school. I have an $80 Littmann Classic II and it works great. Also keep a cheap one around in case of emergencies (your...

  4. Need titers and vaccinations with no insurance

    Erythropoiesis replied to soonernurse01's topic in General Students

    If you're lucky enough to get in touch with yours. I spent three days calling every single extension within my local health department and not one person answered, no matter what time of day it was....

  5. Need titers and vaccinations with no insurance

    Erythropoiesis replied to soonernurse01's topic in General Students

    I am uninsured but I found a low-income, sliding scale clinic. It's 20+ miles away and out of town, but it was 100% worth the trip because I had 5 or 6 titers run and a TB test performed for $110. I...

  6. Dealing with bullies?

    Erythropoiesis replied to _Skittles_'s topic in Health, Stress Management

    Somebody cornering me to scream at me at work will ONLY be matched with my telling them to back the f*** up. I don't care if you're the president of the United States. This is blatant disrespect and...

  7. It Ain't Like The Movies!

    Erythropoiesis replied to madricka's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I remember this well. Nearly had a

  8. pre reqs

    Erythropoiesis replied to Marysan767's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Keep in mind that most schools don't consider volunteer work anymore when making admission decisions. The thought process behind this is that it isn't fair to the single parents/people who HAVE to...

  9. It Ain't Like The Movies!

    Erythropoiesis replied to madricka's topic in General Nursing

    When a Greys doctor goes from touching a patient with gloved hands to TOUCHING THEIR FACE with the same nasty gloves OR BETTER YET they go from touching their patient to touching/brushing their hair...

  10. I've waited a long time

    Erythropoiesis replied to Glycerine82's topic in General Nursing

    That made me smile :)

  11. pre reqs

    Erythropoiesis replied to Marysan767's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They may have TOLD you that it's no big deal on the phone, but at my school you wouldn't have gotten in with two D's. Considering that a C is basically a failing grade when you're trying to compete...

  12. Nursing student health insurance?

    Erythropoiesis replied to aarnigo's topic in General Students

    My school doesn't offer health insurance to its students, therefore they have no authority to mandate us to have it, so I lucked out with that because I'm uninsured too. Since they have required their...

  13. Help finding a nursing program

    Erythropoiesis replied to Akar1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My comment was much more a cautionary tale than it was me deliberately calling you out for

  14. Microbiology

    Erythropoiesis replied to xdrowe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you think it's interesting, and you have a solid foundation in biology, you'll do just fine. I paid attention in lecture, was active in my learning when the prof would ask questions, and honestly...

  15. Help finding a nursing program

    Erythropoiesis replied to Akar1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thats considered fraud, and, if the OP accepted any form of financial aid, the new school WILL know that she lied about never attending that other school, and she'll risk being kicked out. Can you...

  16. A little frustrated/confused about BSN/ADN

    Erythropoiesis replied to hellfirecat's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Lol at non-nurses (even non-nursing students) giving advice about the nursing profession. The ASN usefulness thing is 100% reliant on where you live. Come to the south, you'll be swarming in job...

  17. Request not to be placed at certain clinical site

    Erythropoiesis replied to sheirry's topic in General Students

    I would simply make my school aware that I had worked there in the past, but not anymore, and ask about policy regarding performing clinical rotations at a facility you used to work at. If you can,...

  18. Which job should I take while in nursing school?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Ariana214's topic in General Students

    You shouldn't sacrifice your academic success for a little experience. If you know for a fact you can make this work, then go for it. If not, you take whatever job that's going to pay your bills and...

  19. Seeking advice from all you Introverted nurses out there...

    Erythropoiesis replied to jk2185's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'll enjoy reading the comments. I have not worked as a nurse but I have worked in other health care jobs and my biggest issue was learning how not to wear my emotions on my face. I make faces. If I...

  20. Post-Orientation Doubts

    Erythropoiesis replied to Fancychicken's topic in General Students

    I have my orientation next month and I'm already prepared for people to make me feel worthless and intimidated. They're trying to psych you out and keep you on your toes. Don't let them discredit all...

  21. pre employment physical with high heart rate

    Erythropoiesis replied to futurenurse93_'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just read your latest post about getting the job.

  22. pre employment physical with high heart rate

    Erythropoiesis replied to futurenurse93_'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you're nervous, on caffeine, stressed, just walked up a flight of stairs, sick or dehydrated, etc...this can all cause HR to go up and it isn't a sign of poor health or an inability to do your job....

  23. Am I wrong from refusing to help a friend?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Neywel120's topic in General Students

    What an infant. Don't waste your time on her anymore. She doesn't have what it takes to be a PT and if you don't tell her F-Off, and soon, she's going to take you down with

  24. Am I wrong from refusing to help a friend?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Neywel120's topic in General Students

    Except that she isn't being paid to be at her friends every beck and call. A friend who has ADD, not autism. She isnt helpless in the way that you are implying. I have ADD and get my own help when I...

  25. Am I wrong from refusing to help a friend?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Neywel120's topic in General Students

    Oh well. The way you make bad grades is to not study. I have diagnosed (after extensive testing and evaluations) UNMEDICATED ADHD and my grades are just fine. Yes it's very true that anxiety is a...
