1. Need advice

   Curious_53 replied to redhead_RN's topic in General Nursing

   Granted, I am just a student right now, but the above comments seem extremely outrageous, rude, and unnecessary! If you aren't comfortable doing something, speak up - that's fair. There is a difference between slacking off and being SAFE. I have a...

2. This probably belongs in NCLEX discussion but I need some STAT support!!

   Curious_53 replied to NurseBreezy's topic in General Nursing

   Best of luck! You'll do wonderfully! Stay positive!

3. Ignorant Stupid Patients

   Curious_53 replied to KY RN's topic in Relations

   It's all well and good to look at calories but you need to look at fat content too. There are very few salads that have less than 9g of fat in them - that's a huge amount! I mean, the hamburger has less than 500 calories but would you think it was ...

4. Ignorant Stupid Patients

   Curious_53 replied to KY RN's topic in Relations

   So, I'm not really sure how I feel about this idea or not... but IF i were for it... how on earth would you track something like that? How do you measure effort? What if, as someone suggested about the women in the OP's post, she IS addicted to foo...

5. Witnessed car crash, now feeling guilty

   Curious_53 replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

   That is so terrifying! I would have never thought that someone would be so low as to do something like that!

6. Clarification Please?!

   Curious_53 replied to Someday2bRN's topic in General Nursing

   I think I know what it means, but I can only think of how to put it in an example If I take the NCLEX in NH then the license is also good for practice in ME, VT, and MA - thus it is a compact state but in CA (apparently, i don't know this first hand...

7. Looking to move to NH or ME

   Curious_53 replied to MassED's topic in General Nursing

   Have you checked out York, ME at all? That's a gorgeous hospital, but I'm not really sure about their hiring status at all... There is also Wentworth-Douglass... Frisbee... (both of those are NH)... if I think of any other one's I'll post again! Goo...

8. Can I still get the job?

   Curious_53 replied to misserella8036's topic in General Nursing

   Congratulations!!!

9. Honesty during the interview

   Curious_53 replied to JohnUNF's topic in General Nursing

   That's a really interesting dilemma. I think if it were me I'd ditch the honest answer and go with what you know they want to hear (i.e. I want to help people, care for them in their time of need etc. etc.) I believe in honesty but I think that you...

10. STNA

    Curious_53 replied to Akr_Chels's topic in General Nursing

    Just like in New Hampshire we have LNA (liscenced nurse's aide) and not CNA :) I was so confused when I started school in New York lol

11. 40,0000 for RN program

    Curious_53 replied to tiffdeandre's topic in General Nursing

    I failed to mention that I do get a scholarship for keeping my GPA at least a 3.3. I get 15000 a year for that, so it takes 60000 off of my over-all total (and brings my yearly down to about 25000). Granted, it's still a lot, but it was a school wit...

12. 40,0000 for RN program

    Curious_53 replied to tiffdeandre's topic in General Nursing

    The college that I am going to to receive my RN (Bachelor's) is up to 42,000 this year. It goes up about 2 grand a year (it was 40,000 when I started) so it will probably be about 46,000 for my last year! Better hope I get a job, huh?

13. So smart they are dumb?

    Curious_53 replied to Uniquemoi04's topic in General Nursing

    Man that's just frightening!

14. Can I still get the job?

    Curious_53 replied to misserella8036's topic in General Nursing

    I think you still have a chance! If it were me I think I'd apologize and briefly explain the nature of the emergency, so they have a way to understand why you had to reschedule. And even tell them that it is out of character for you! You're still ...

15. Pre-hypertension--- systolic BP 120-139?

    Curious_53 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Lol! I took my bp on one of those machines at a Wal-mart recently. I can't remember the exact numbers but the machine kindly informed me that I had hypertension! I sincerly doubt that I have hypertension. My bp's have always been fine when I go t...
