   NRSLDT replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

   There are plenty of people who go into nursing for the money & stability, but it does not mean they won't do a good job. I went into nursing for high school credit. I am now a darn good RN. If you can make it through nursing school then kudos. It...

2. Am I Nurse Material?

   NRSLDT replied to Hopefull nurse's topic in Louisiana

   I just read your post and that is sad how people can discourage others. I went to nursing school initially so I could earn more credits during high school. My mom, grandma and brother were in/out the hospital quite a bit so I became interested becaus...

3. Racist Patients

   NRSLDT replied to Williss2's topic in Relations

   Well I can truly relate. I use to live in Chicago when I first became a nurse. I worked in my community so I had no racist exposure. Then a year later I moved to Wisconsin and was called the N word by a few of my residents. It was never because I did...

4. Is a Nclex review course really necessary?

   NRSLDT replied to motivated2nurse's topic in New Nurse

   Doing a review course is definitely up to you. It is very good to know how to think like nurse in order to answer questions. Its not all about knowing everything. I graduated last May and I passed my NCLEX on the 1st try without a review course. I pr...

   OMG!! That is so sweet. Absolutely go back to school. I am 26 years old and when I went back to school at 24 there were women in their 50's finally going to get their RN. Okay your wife has a 3year old, I take it you are a very supportive husband. I ...

   NRSLDT replied to GaMBA's topic in General Nursing

   I am responding to your observations and it sounds like you deal with semi-cocky nurses with bad habits:down:. Before you care for a patient you should get a report. According to HIPPA, you do not need to any info on your patient except as a need to ...

8. Is working as a new grad in nursing home a bad career move?

   NRSLDT replied to nursedani08's topic in General Nursing

   Working in a long term care facility is probably more flexible. It is absolutely not a bad career move. You have to be functional for yourself and the baby. Consider what you want to do day-to-day. When you work nights with a newborn will you have e...

9. what qualities do professors want to see in their nrsing students?

   NRSLDT replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

   I just graduated in May of 2008. I don't think instructors think you are good enough until you finish. Honestly, the biggest thing is to learn how to think like a nurse. You cannot store all the information you hear or read. At least I do not think ...

    NRSLDT replied to angiefaye's topic in General Nursing

    u poor thing i can't speak about your charge nurse but i think it was a little harsh. learn that time management is a big deal. having a routine is wonderful, but it may not always go as planned. do not be afraid to ask for help. delegate what you c...

11. Charge nurse with less than a year RN experience???!!

    NRSLDT replied to RNpandoraRN's topic in Management

    Sorry, but that is a little insane and irresponsible. I am a new grad and I am a charge nurse in a SNF, but I was a LPN for about 5-6 years. I hope she understands the legality and liability that may rest upon her. I worked at a hospital a few months...
