I'm currently in Ontario and am starting a home care agency this June. I've been planning it out for the past four months, have a $3000 grant from the government, and $10,000 of disposable income from my last job. However, I'm still a second year nur...

Cheating is wrong, but what you described does not sound like cheating to me at all. It's just as wrong to accuse someone of cheating who isn't as it is to not report cheating. You said she copied down a "mock dosage calculations test." Mock dosage c...

Hello all, I just wanted to give an update that my website, Facebook page, and Twitter page are up and running now, and everything is going extremely well with my endeavor. I have made many new connections, am a member of the chamber of commerce in m...

I know that many nurses share their own personal clinical experiences here on AN, and it made me wonder if it could ever break patient confidentiality to do so. Have you ever witnessed an outright break in patient confidentiality on AN? Do you think ...

I noticed this problem at the end of first year. I became a really negative person, hated life, thought everything was unfair, and I'm 100% sure it was because of my first year of nursing. I did a complete 360 on my negativity the next year, and made...

Discuss what offends you the most and why it offends you. Here's a quick poll;

Congratulations on your acceptance! I would not worry about people judging you if a problem arises and you're late to class. They just complain in their heads frequently and on internet forums. Best of luck to you!

Thank you

I chose to put that in quotations because you seemed to target that group in your comment. That's all. Don't overthink it, like you do with others' lives. If people choose to turn my opinion into an argument, that's okay with me. It's all in good fun...

When did I say it was not unprofessional? Please read my comments thoroughly before commenting back. And you don't have to do personal attacks on my "attitude" in order to argue a point. It's sooooo second grade Of course it's unprofessional. I'm si...

If somebody coming in late to class disrupts your life so much, then I pity you. However, you're a very admirable person for caring so much about your peers being disrupted, especially ones with "ADD." I hope you're saying that in sincerity, and not ...

I repeat myself, for the third time, children are not an excuse. My entire point is that, for your own well-being, you should not judge so immediately. If I could take anything away from nursing, it's to not judge. Your darting eyes are not going to ...

I think you're missing the point.. These things do not affect you, so it should not annoy you. It's not good for your mental health, in my opinion, to be so "worried" about others. If they get bad grades, it's not your problem.

It is absolutely horrible what happened to you, and I've witnessed this behavior among my peer towards other students, with children specifically. I see this kind of "suck it up, buttercup" attitude on this forum, and many people believe they have th...

This does not speak to my character.. I have never been late to class, appointments, meetings, or even just meeting up with friends. I also have one of the highest marks in my class. I think it speaks to your character when you're so quick to judge...

I never said it should be dismissed by the professor, especially if it is against the rules. However, I feel that other nursing students, without kids, do not have a right to judge another nursing student for being late when they have children. And t...

Hello, So I'm having a little bit of difficulty understanding this. Why is everybody competitive in nursing? We're all getting the same degree, and you don't need high marks to get a Masters and/or NP. I've found that many people like to brag and fre...

Thank you for taking the trouble to find all of those links. However, I put those threads up there for the purpose of finding like-minded individuals who can give me advice, which is the purpose of the majority of threads on AN. And I did find these ...

I would certainly hope so. Otherwise, that would just be poor craftsmanship.

It was absolutely not a dare. It was a legitimate question, and I haven't found any studies on it so I wanted to hear opinions. Did you really take the time to find that quote and interpret in that way? Why does that upset you so much? First of all,...

That's alright with me. If you want to comment on my posts and expect me to not get offended, I will graciously reply and not get offended. However, I would not expect hypocrisy out of you or SmilingBluEyes when I reply back. Since these threads are ...

Just because I backed you into a corner on another post, you're going to follow my posts and back others up who disagree with me? That's kind of sad.

Thank you for your insights. But I have to say, I definitely do not expect the people on AN to play along with my attitude, and would rather stay on topic and dismiss their nonconstructive criticisms. I dismiss them because I know they do not have go...

What rules did you have in school regarding tardiness?.. In any university program in Canada, they can't do anything if you show up late to class or not show up at all, since this isn't high school and they expect you to have the responsibility to sh...

It is very admirable that you were able to balance your schooling and your children at the same time. However, I don't think that because somebody else can do it, like yourself, that it can apply to everyone. I believe we shouldn't be so judgmental. ...
