She would have a fit over my chest dermal piercing and my nose ring! Lol!!

Overreacting is not even the word for this post. This is about revenge and revenge only. We have all had emergencies and have had to leave immediately. That is not abandonment. The fact you texted knowing very well this nurse was dealing with an emer...

I say this with respect....stop over thinking things here, or you will put yourself in a box out of fear. You aren't the careprovider for your coworker. You would not be looked at as their nurse. I understand being new and afraid, but you can share y...

Stop acting as if your race has anything to do with you being dropped. By doing so, it truly undermines the plight of those being marginalized through racist behavior and makes people ignore the rest of your message. Secondly, your actions are what c...

I'm sorry, I don't ever recall in nursing school where a splint takes priority over a cardiovascular issue. Perhaps this PCA needs a little lesson on ABCs and prioritization. I would bring this up with the charge nurse.

Perhaps self reflect here a bit and make sure you are not adding to the toxic environment. Here you are pointing out the PNs are the issue and it is stupidity. That doesn't sound very nice at all, and it might show that your own attitude could be con...

Perhaps you missed the part where the instructor indicated this nurse has been known to be a problem. That alone indicates her behavior has been condoned up until this point. I don't understand why institutions let burn out continue, when there are o...

Attibuting this nurse's behavior due to a bad is why we have bullying in nursing, as we condone this behavior. Stop making excuses to why this nurse treated this student like crap. Every single one of you have been in the place of the student once, y...

Eat a Snickers, you get salty and whiny when you are hungry! God forbid LPNs who have literally done two nursing programs get an award and not you. I can tell by this post that you toot your own horn and probably do not have the skills to back it up....

Find a different school to apply to. I am sure you could find another program or another school that would offer the LPN track where you could complete a bridge program whe you are finished your LPN.

I am not insensitive here. I just see this post as what it is...attention seeking and complaining. This person has had options and still has options. Acting as if they don't, is ridiculous. Upgrade your marks for your pre reqs and apply again. Try t...

Stop the pity me behavior. You got into schools and you have turned them down. You have options. Stop acting as if you don't. If you want it bad enough, take out a loan and pay for school on redo your few prerequisite classes. There are many out ther...

I am currently in school and am not working. I took out extra loans in order to concentrate on school. I don't regret it at all.

This also could be a case of a manager who is sabatoging you from leaving due to being a good worker. I have seen this done where I worked and it was sad for everyone involved.

For the record, the essential oil use is by Ascension hospitals around the US and not in Canada. It is being used clinically and not dousing helpless elderly as you have implied.

Essential oils are being used in pilot projects in hospitals around the country. The oils are not to be put directly on the skin, but beside the patient on a gauze put in a med cup. It is noted to be causing less anxiety, helpful for sleep and even s...

I found nursing school harder. I found once you are in the working world, it becomes second nature and you get in a flow of a routine. I gave up my license after stopping working due to a car accident. I am back 10 years later in school doing my prog...

Donna, are you still going to do the program seeing as you weren't there today?

If you are thinking long term, I suggest getting married and immigrate as spouse; otherwise the chance of you getting a visa for an oversaturated job market. If you come in as a spouse, you will more than likely not be passed over for jobs either. Go...

God the ego coming off of you is gross behavior. You may be older in life, but your posts is childlike. Putting down those 10 individuals to try and put yourself on a horse, will only leave you to fall hard. Here is some advice, don't act like this k...

I just finished Intermediate Algebra in an online 7 week class. Math is NOT my forte, but I was able to come out of the class with a 90 in it. I studied my ass off for that class and used Khan academy to study and mathway online to help me. If you ca...

The RPN is not equal to the ADN at all. In all honesty, you would have to do many classes over. Secondly, with the way immigration rules are going, you won't get a job here in the US. This is why I have had to take my program over in the US after I i...

Orientation was the 3rd I think. It was pretty much just getting our schedules and uniforms. I had my health forms handed in already. You can look up the books on the bookstore website and then look for them online. I found them on eBay and amazon ch...

I start the program this coming Sept as well. I will go on Monday and Tues mornings and have Saturday clinicals. I already have some classes that are needed.

If you are spiritual, then you must believe in karma. I hope for your sake that you didn't steal those books, otherwise it will get you when you are in the program. I am a very spiritual person and I think you are delusional to think these are signs ...
