    Post-Orientation Doubts

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Fancychicken's topic in General Students

    About six months ago I vowed to stop listening to people about difficulty levels of any class or program. I got so hyped up about how ridiculously hard chemistry was going to be, that I started with...

    What class would you take?

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

    The one that interested me the most. I actually took Criminal Justice and I loved it - was a great class. I have an extra spot for a class, too. I decided on Medical

    I have a kids question!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to ant123's topic in General Nursing

    I've been staying home with my girls for 10 years now. I wanted to spend the majority of their younger years with them - and we homeschool. It's been great. I'm now trying to get back into the...

    Transfer and move on?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    Can you shadow an ER nurse for a day or two? It might give you a better idea of what you're in

    Dog had emergency surgery last night.

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry! Don't beat yourself up about snapping - it happens to the best of us. I'm glad your pup is okay. Best wishes for a speedy

    What is your Nursing Kryptonite?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Lunah's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but I already know my issue is going to be feet. I've wiped butts, measured poop/urine/vomit, I've suctioned trachs and helped clean wounds. But feet? I'm already saving up for...

    95 Theses of Healthcare Injustice

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to rearviewmirror's topic in General Nursing

    Posts like these make me sad. I have a condition called Chiari Malformation. It means I pretty much always have a headache and neck pain. I've never gone to the ED for pain control, but I have asked...

    ADN, BSN, or RN-BSN?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to jamaicangirl16's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Look into what hospitals around you require AND look into what BSN programs in your area require and if your credits will transfer or not. It's usually pretty clear on their

    Request not to be placed at certain clinical site

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to sheirry's topic in General Students

    It must have been a pretty big deal, if you left nursing school and your job. It's hard to say what you should do without knowing what you've already done. I guess it can't hurt to ask, but don't get...

    Help! Scared New Grad RN. Did I make the right career choice?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to jpRN51's topic in General Nursing

    Not a nurse. Yet. Everyone's experiences are going to be different. And I imagine the people that hated it, or got hurt are going to be more vocal than the ones who love it. It's like customer survey...

    Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You can do this, you're strong enough and you've done nothing wrong. Thinking of

    Anyone doing it for the money and stability?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to WCSU1987's topic in General Nursing

    Those two things are a big part of the reason I chose nursing. The flexibility is another

    I really hate my job as a CNA. Will I hate / suck at being a Nurse?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to taraleee's topic in General Students

    Changing beds, bathing patients, changing diapers, wiping bums, peri care - stuff like that. I loved being a CNA (I'm trying to get back into it), and I get that it's not for everyone. But if you...

    A&P Prep?

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

    Thanks so much! I'm doing pretty much what you suggested. I bought a little notebook and when I come across a medical term/phrase/drug/etc that I'm not familiar with, I write it down and later I...

    I went and read the other thread too and I have to say that this was my conclusion,

    Doubts

    ItsThatJenGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm still in school, pre-requisites. My goal is to be an ED nurse. Yesterday there was a fairly serious car accident right by my house - we heard it happen. We went outside and approached the...

    Nursing Niceness

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to xdrowe's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't exclusive to nurses, allnurses or forums. It's all over the internet. When you put part of your life out there, people are going to comment on it - and you can't control what sort of...

    Giving up my dog

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Bsb5685's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Also, they didn't re-home her - which would have changed my response. She was sent

    Giving up my dog

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Bsb5685's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I love how you go from shaming people for judgement and then calling me (or my opinion?) pathetic. People always seem to trip and fall on the moral high ground. Maybe there are too many rocks. I think...

    Giving up my dog

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Bsb5685's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm not a nurse, just FYI. But I did, and will continue to judge what I view is mistreatment of animals. Among other things - like flip flops with socks, poorly behaving children and people that...

    Liberal arts / nursing

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

    No, you can't. Look into the nursing school(s) you'd like to attend, and figure out what they require. A degree before nursing school isn't required - certain classes

    Giving up my dog

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Bsb5685's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I feel terrible for your ex-dog. I have two kids, and two dogs and a husband - I'd never dream of giving any of them away because of nursing school - or anything else that's going to be tough in life...

    San Antonio College (SAC) Spring 2018

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

    I'm applying! But it's my second choice school. My first choice is UT Health Science Center. I'm taking pre-req's at SAC though - this fall I'm in A&P I, Statistics, Speech and Nutrition...

    Is my job making me sick?
