  1. "You're a NURSE??"

    This is taken from Taylor Mali 's "What Teachers Make" poem. His spoken-word performance can be seen on YouTube. A shame the poster passed this off as his own without having the decency to give credit where credit was due.
  2. When do I initial the M.A.R.?

    Hi Neophyte. Pull. Punch. Sign. That's the way I was taught, and it's worked well for me. Either way, whether you sign after punching the med, or sign after administration, if the pt. refuses, you STILL have to sign and document! Regards, Michael
  3. Pros and Cons of nursing

    McKnis, the is a nursing forum. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, even though it may not reflect yours. Telling someone (and everyone) to ignore another member's post (however you may disagree), goes against the spirit of this forum. Regards, Mic...
  4. It went something like this: Brand new nurse comes to me about family members bullying her to give "grannie" more pain meds (still two hours to go until her next dose)... I go into the room. Me: "Hi, I'm Michael, the charge nurse. Can I help you wit...
  5. had clinicals with a seasoned nurse of 30+ years, who, when a young male patient "wagged" his penis at her an said, "check this baby out!", responded with "wow. that is absolutely the smallest penis i've ever seen in 30 years of nursing." shut him u...
  6. College Nework LVN to BSN only 28K

    Yes. Contact ISU DIRECTLY. Do NOT use College Network. You will, unfortunately, regret it. Good luck. Carolina Nights.
  7. Magnet Status

    It leaves you out in the cold unless you get your RN. Sorry.
  8. Sick of being a LPN

    Good for you! I, too, would have been perfectly happy remaining an LPN for my entire nursing career (and had expected too.) However, the problem we now face here in Northern California is that LPNs are pretty much being regulated to the long-term...
  9. LPN-to-RN Programs

    Hi All, When I took my LVN program at Unitek College in Sacramento, CA, all of the pre-req classes were included in the actual program. During my visit to Western Career College in Sacramento today, the advisor told me it would take me SIXTEEN month...

  11. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    I am amazed after 3395 replies stating that the PV Trick is true that people are STILL saying "Gee, I hope this works." Carolina Nights
  12. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    1. Yes. It works. After the last 3,000 or so previous entries, why ask? 2. Yes. It applies to ALL PV exams. 3. 5 minute. 5 hours. 5 days. 5 weeks. There are no time constraints. Carolina Nights
  13. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    The fallacy of the 'big' envelope, 'small' envelope is that each Board (RN and PN) within each separate state, use varying methods of sending out results. Carolina Nights
  14. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    It will work 5 minutes or 5 days after your exam. Carolina Nights
  15. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    HopingtobeanRN, Just because the CA BON is slow does not invalidate, in any way, the fact that the PV Trick does, in fact, work (as evidenced by the overwhelming supportive data found in just this thread alone.) California state workers (and their as...
