    Does the PVT Work for Elections????

    Scared of teach retaliation

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

    I was going to say "suck it up, buttercup", but she's way over the line, IMO. Keep track of EVERYTHING that happens from this point forward - record the labs if you can. I'm

    Ohh that sounds like a good class.

    A&PII with Micro

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to dramix3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might not - but for what it's worth, I'm taking 14 credit hours right now and have plenty of time to do fun stuff,

    Ethical Dilemma: What to do when I see a client outside of professional role?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to krg539's topic in General Students

    There's nothing in the post to indicate that the patient was drunk, purchasing the beer for his own consumption, or was even driving a car (he could have been with a friend, or walked). There are too...

    Need help studying Anatomy Physiology 1

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Monkey9x's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I learn best by repetition (I think most people do). So I take notes in class, and then read the chapter outlines that my professor provides us with. I rewrite my notes to include anything I think is...

    A&PII with Micro

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to dramix3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking A&P II and Micro at the same time (next semester). I decided to do so based on feedback from my A&P I teacher (she thinks I can do it, no problem), the feedback on the Micro teacher...

    When considering a nursing career..

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    When we list reasons we want to be nurses, none of those are the reasons. That doesn't mean we're not aware that the career is stressful, families are pains in the butts and sometimes everything is...

    Which subjects should I take?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Nurse2bcarty's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Perhaps a bit more info would help. You don't need to include your course numbers, just the name of the class. I can't help unless I know what all those abbreviations

    Financing Nursing School - Not Sure What To Do

    Are you sure about that? My nursing school cost is around

    Financing Nursing School - Not Sure What To Do

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to rock hopper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's no way I'd accumulate that much debt. I'd wait, go the CC route, and hopefully get a job that will help pay for your

    Should I stay or should I go?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to blakee123's topic in General Nursing

    The safe, smart choice is to stay with your parents. But, I have an adventurous heart, and I would probably not make the smart, safe choice. I'm at my best when I'm facing challenge and I like to...

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Great job! I'm in A&P I and it's one of the best classes I've had so far! I have an A and it's so much easier than I thought it was going to be. I hope to finish with an A, and get another one...

    Colleagues who hate patients

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not young at all, and I don't think anyone said this was "new" to nursing. It does (and I hope it always will) surprise and sadden me that someone would choose a profession intended to help people...

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to ErikaD360's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't take them at the same time, but I see no problem doing so. They were both interesting and I enjoyed

    That really breaks my heart. I wonder why these types of people choose

    I hate nursing

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Neezy84's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this. If it was a matter of the OP just burning out, a break would probably be really beneficial. But according to her, she's been miserable the entire 12 years of her career, at every...

    "Eat their young"

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to rolvue's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Reporting you to the nurse educator isn't bullying. She's not required to give you tips or advice - that's the educators job. If you'd rather her come to you before talking to the educator, have you...

    Ethical Dilemma: What to do when I see a client outside of professional role?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to krg539's topic in General Students

    Maybe it's because I'm not in nursing school yet, but I don't see how this is an ethical dilemma. It's more like a "learning how to behave like a professional" lesson, IMO. If my health care provider...

    WILTW 10/29: Trauma for breakfast

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be taking it in January! I'm using the TEAS Mastery app - the initial bit is free, but you have to pay for the good stuff. I think it was around

    Are you going for BSN or ASN?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Farrah 34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just searched the job postings on the website of different hospitals in the area. They have education requirements listed, at least around

    Agism in nursing?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to td222's topic in General Students

    Acknowledging that isms exist and having intelligent conversations about how to avoid them doesn't make me a victim. Denying that they do exist is privilege in action. OP - I doubt a new nurse is...
