    Manager said something covertly racist

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to sugarmagnolia3's topic in General Nursing

    This really sort of chaps my behind. You asked for advice, and Sour Lemon gave it - from a highly relevant perspective and you sort of crapped all over it. Just really

    I am guilty of oversharing

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Ioreth's topic in General Students

    I thought I replied to this last night, oops! I think if avoiding things on this list is going to make YOU happy, then you should do it. If it's to make other people comfortable or please one person...

    Feeling incompetent in nursing school

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to btf4's topic in General Students

    I'm in a BSN program. I highly doubt it's harder than an ASN program. The only real difference is a few classes like Research and Community Health or something like that. We all have to take the same...

    Am I too old to start?

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

    I will graduate next fall at the age of 40. So,

    Accidental Pregnancy

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to m2038's topic in General Students

    If I were in your shoes, I'd have an abortion. It sounds like it's just not the right time in your life for a baby. I was faced with a similar situation a very long time ago, and I'm happy to chat...

    Do nurses get away with nurse brutality

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I don't even understand what this thread is

    I am guilty of oversharing

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Ioreth's topic in General Students

    Interestingly, I over-share about my past trauma, too. I wonder if it's some sort of coping mechanism. Do you want to change this habit because it bothers other people or because it bothers you? I...

    I am guilty of oversharing

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Ioreth's topic in General Students

    Oh bless you. I overshare, too. But for me I think it's because if people know the bad/awkward stuff about me, they can decide early if I'm someone they can be friends with. I am awkward and...

    Acing anatomy- what makes muscles so hard?

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

    My absolute best advice is to stop letting people freak you out. I feel into that trap and it really set me back. Muscles were challenging, but certainly not impossible. There's a layer of difficulty...

    Will I be paying too much tuition for my ABSN?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to nepenth3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think I'd spend that much if there was an option to spend less for a bit more time. Good luck in your

    How long should prereqs take?

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

    I had 19 classes to take before I could apply to the BSN program I'm in. I did 5 full semesters and a summer session. I did take intro to algebra classes though, since it had been so long since I'd...

    Why are nurses disrespected so much?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to fitfabfunnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    If you look on the first page (the quote in post #3 to be specific), you'll see her name didn't have the 2b in there, it was changed. I don't understand why you'd create an account and bump a six...

    Helpful Items to Purchase for Nursing School

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to bitter_betsy's topic in General Students

    You want knee high compression socks - they don't really move at all so I don't think you'll be spending a lot of time adjusting them. They aren't necessary, but they are helpful. Good shoes - you...

    Marijuana and Nursing?

    You weren't charged with anything, so I don't really understand how it could have a negative impact on your

    Need help with Care plan for pt with ears with clotted fistula. I'm third semest student!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Kholtz2's topic in General Students

    I feel like there are more pressing issues than the risk of ineffective breathing. If she's hyperkalemic, what is she at risk for? What are some things you need to be

    Unfair Fundamentals Clinical Testing?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to jbernardo's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I could almost understand you freezing and blowing it once, but this was the second time you took it.

    The online trainings don't take much time to complete, so try not to stress about that

    Need a bit of advice, please

    ItsThatJenGirl posted a topic in General Students

    Last Wednesday I went to a job fair and I was offered a job on the spot for a Nurse Extern position (basically a tech). I was told the offer would be put together and sent to me. I haven't received it...

    Can I work three 12hours shifts while going to school for BSN

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Treeanaxo's topic in General Students

    You can, sure. You might even be able to do so successfully. I'm finishing up my first semester, and I don't think I would have been as successful as I have been while working. But you might be better...

    UTHSCSA Fall 2018

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Lishay92's topic in School, College Programs

    It varies on which zone you choose. The zone closest to the nursing school is 3, but 90% of your classes aren't in the nursing school, which is under construction. Your classes are all in the ALTC...

    Considering dropping out of BSN Program

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to foreverprenursing's topic in General Students

    I mean, we are incompetent right now - we're supposed to be. We're at the beginning of all of this - the only way to go from here is up. Yeah, nursing school is pretty tough. So much info, so little...
