    The Men in OB Debate: Help!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to jay_prn's topic in General Nursing

    I have a history of sexual assault, and my OB was a male. I don't think any of my nurses were male, but honestly I wouldn't have thought twice about it. Obviously that doesn't mean everyone with a...

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Labrat99's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but I do volunteer at a local hospital. They recently had an event where the lab made up several tri-fold boards on different procedures and practices explaining the how/why of...

    Nursing school is feeding my low self esteem

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to PJishere's topic in General Students

    My self esteem improved greatly once I did two things: stopped comparing myself to other people, and stopped caring what other people thought of me. I know those aren't necessarily easy things to do,...

    Methodist ED San Antonio

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Barry_Bluejeans's topic in General Nursing

    I have a friend that used to work there - he was happy with the pay, but found the pace to be very slow. I think it depends on what you're looking for. I recently saw an ad for Methodist offering...

    Support Planned Parenthood Today!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If you're okay with vasectomies being covered, why do you think women should have to work birth control into their budget? That makes no sense to me. Especially when you consider that birth control is...

    Applying anxiety help

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to maria1315's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was certain I wouldn't get into either program I applied for - but I got into both (and your stats are better than mine were). I honestly have no tips on how to manage it. I ate all my feelings, and...

    Support Planned Parenthood Today!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I honestly don't know how to respond to this. You paint a vivid picture of something you cannot possibly know the reality of. You are using language to manipulate people in order to further your...

    Where can I get male only patients?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Firas5's topic in General Nursing

    It's not crazy, it's happening in a professional medical setting. There's nothing inappropriate about it unless you feel as though there is something sexual about it - in which case the problem lies...

    Which route should I go?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Lovenicubaby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just because you get a degree from a community college doesn't mean you can't take more classes. Take the classes you need to get into a BSN program, and go. I got my Associates in Biology at my...

    Don’t know if I have enough passion for nursing

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Shai1010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How could anyone know if they have a passion for nursing if they haven't been a nurse yet? I'm in school because I want a relatively stable job, with flexibility (I homeschool my kids and my husband...
