    Nursing and Personality

    TuesdaysChild posted a topic in General Students

    What's your personality (any: MBTI, Big 5, StrengthsFinder) and how do you see your personality interfacing with nurse culture some day? For MBTI I would be an ENFP. Big 5, top characteristic is...

    Financing Nursing School - Not Sure What To Do

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

    How lean are you willing to live? Whatever you do, you can make a much bigger dent in your loans if you cut out all the crap that we apparently seem to need in the U.S. and start making double or...

    Colleagues who hate patients

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

    That qualifier does change the perspective a bit, but I'm perhaps influenced by my own experiences as well. When my father passed away last year, he was taken into the emergency room three days...

    Help - what is the easiest floor to work

    TuesdaysChild replied to gears83's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Not sure if you're still reading this (or if this is a joke), but the reason I asked if you were actually in a nursing program is that I have a hunch that you're not yet in one. There are people in...

    Colleagues who hate patients

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

    Yikes! You do know 90 year olds are still capable of contributing to society, right? They are also perfectly capable of enjoying life, friends, and family. I'm glad you're not making the decisions...

    Are you already in a nursing program or still working on pre-requisites to apply for admission? Is the above suggestions from your nursing

    Colleagues who hate patients

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

    I feel bad for people who are negative to the point of toxicity. Every situation is dynamic, and nothing happens in a vaccuum. When a negative person makes us in turn feel negative about them, we...

    Nurses shouldnt engage in active politics

    TuesdaysChild replied to Amo Afreh's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It sounds like you drew the short end of the syringe! I think a lot of nurses would feel that being part of the political process goes hand in hand with advocacy. However, it seems you've been...

    Looking for nursing school

    TuesdaysChild replied to brooke2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you live in Frisco you could look into TWU in Denton. It's not online of course, but I think they do clinicals on Saturdays. You'll have to confirm that because I haven't looked it up in a

    Agism in nursing?

    TuesdaysChild replied to td222's topic in General Students

    Sir, I'm not trying to upset you, and if I have, I apologize for that (also for comparing you to my 3yo neice. That was uncalled for). Before it goes too far afield, the whole point is that concerns...

    Agism in nursing?

    TuesdaysChild replied to td222's topic in General Students

    It's like..... it's like I'm talking to my neice (she's 3, by the way). I can calmly state a simple fact (you can't play with the scissors because you're not old enough to use them) and she just...

    Agism in nursing?

    TuesdaysChild replied to td222's topic in General Students

    *sidesteps the playground taunts* I'm speaking from a legal perspective from years of experience in equal employment opportunity law. I have an actual rational basis for what I'm saying. You are...

    What speciality would you like to get into post-graduation?

    TuesdaysChild replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in General Students

    I only know what I don't want, which is L&D, nursery/nicu, postpartum (anything to do with babies really). Not a problem since a lot of people want those anyway. Other than that, the world is a...

    Agism in nursing?

    TuesdaysChild replied to td222's topic in General Students

    Man that would really get my goad! That's a perfect example of cases I've seen. It's opened my eyes to things that really do happen on the job. Ten years ago I was ready to listen with all my eye...

    Going back to school at 30

    TuesdaysChild replied to JJL618's topic in General Students

    I'm going back to college for BSN at 35 after deciding I can't continue working a job I hate any longer. I have to say, I'm a much better student now than the first time I went to college. I have a...

    Agism in nursing?

    TuesdaysChild replied to td222's topic in General Students

    As someone who has worked on many EEOC employment cases, I can say there's clear evidence of "isms" out in the workforce giving some an unfair advantage over others (ageism, sexism, racism, nepotism,...

    one class!

    TuesdaysChild replied to ChristiHamm8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ah, I assumed you were at a university because they have a bachelor's program. As far as ASN v BSN, I probably depends more on where you are and what kind of placement you want out of school. I see...

    one class!

    TuesdaysChild replied to ChristiHamm8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is there a community college in the area where you can take just that one class in the summer while you are taking the rest at your current school? I see university students all the time who are just...

    Favorite planner?

    TuesdaysChild replied to ChristiHamm8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Haha! I put the "day" in day planner. I buy one with the best of intentions, perfectly plan out a whole day.... and then never open it up again

    Feeling discouraged :(

    TuesdaysChild replied to Hakuna~matata's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your class syllabus should have the "last date to drop" date listed on it. I would go look that up now so you know exactly how long you have to decide. Chem is a core science requirement that a lot...

    Feeling discouraged :(

    TuesdaysChild replied to Hakuna~matata's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is it too late to drop the class and get a withdraw? If so, that might not be a bad option. I'm not in the habit of dropping classes, but you have three difficult classes going on at once and it...

    quitting school, pls help.

    TuesdaysChild replied to mrsmarah's topic in General Students

    Eh, I tend to disagree. I'm a much better student now than I was 15 years ago. I'm more confident in my abilities, communicate with faculty better, and have an established work ethic. Plus I don't...

    muslim prayer

    TuesdaysChild replied to olamuri's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I agree with Ruby Vee about talking to your spiritual leaders. I am Protestant Christian so we do not have the same kind of requirements, but I had a good friend who was Orthodox Jewish and I recall...
