    Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

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

    Is there any way you can switch departments? I'm sorry you don't get much support from your husband. That makes this situation all the more difficult. I wish you all the luck. Please keep us...

    Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

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

    I know how it feels - he's in a position of authority for you and you don't want to rock the boat and risk losing your job. Or make him angry/escalate. I'm sorry, you must feel pretty scared. I'd...

    Is money everything in this profession?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to WhyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet - I'm in school. But I do have to say this "martyr" business in nursing is a serious turn off for me. It makes me not want to be a nurse, because I'm not interested in sacrificing...

    Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in a position that I'm going to school because I want to, not because I have to work. We live comfortably on my husbands salary, luckily. My income is going into our retirement with a bit pulled...

    How You Can Lose 50 Pounds In 90 Days

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't know that. I don't intentionally restrict my carbs, that's just where I fall generally. Thanks for teaching me something

    How You Can Lose 50 Pounds In 90 Days

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with most of what you wrote. Perhaps my post wasn't very clear. The point I was trying to make is that there isn't any one, absolute way to successfully lose weight. I don't think weight loss...

    Discrimination

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to nerdynurse7's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Then what is your question? You asked what you could say - the answer is nothing because "being young" is not a protected class, and therefore you were not discriminated against. If you're upset that...

    How You Can Lose 50 Pounds In 90 Days

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in General Nursing

    The bold bit is mine. I'm going to have to vehemently disagree with the bold bit. Losing weight is absolutely about calories in and calories out. It's very basic physics. You need x amount of energy....

    Where to work as a pre-nursing student?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Gabriella06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just applied for a PRN Emergency Department Unit Secretary job in the hospital I really want to work at post-graduation. Maybe take a peek at the open jobs in hospitals around you - see what they...

    RN or DNP?

    You were offered the job, I don't see how you were discriminated

    Organic Biochemistry

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

    You're not going to find a chemistry course with a lab online. You might find a hybrid course - but generally labs are in person. Have you checked your community

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to hearthappiness's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I wouldn't unless you wanted to work as a CNA while you're in nursing

    Respect the letters

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Chrissygraduatenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm just going to say it, even though I'm clearly not welcome. You have a chip on your shoulder about being an LPN. Maybe you're insecure about your choice. No one cares nearly as much as you think...

    Respect the letters

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Chrissygraduatenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    What relevance does that have to the conversation? I'm sure, since you took the time to look at my profile, that you're well aware I'm a student. Trying to point out that I'm not yet a nurse in order...

    Respect the letters

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Chrissygraduatenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It's a different test. And a different scope of practice. It DOES matter, but that doesn't mean one is better than the other. Different doesn't mean less

    What are the best classes to take together?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Michelle25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd take chem before a&p. I'd probably do Chem, Nutrition, Sociology, Psych. Chem might have to be done in person, if your program requires a lab. The rest should be available online. Socio and...

    Fellow student=back stabbed?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to esrun77's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wouldn't assume that she's the reason why you didn't get the job. And even if she is, there's nothing you can do about it. Be the bigger person and keep your nose clean. Don't involve yourself in...

    ADN, BA versus BSN

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

    Since you already have your Bachelor's, why not look into an accelerated bsn program? It would be faster than your other options - most programs are 15-18

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Mrsnurse2b10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd start seriously studying for the TEAS and looking for other nursing school options. Once you find one that interests you, get a list of their requirements and spend some time talking to an...
