   digitiminimi replied to icu_rn_2012's topic in Illinois

   Mine FINALLY showed up today on the site. I agree - the wait (and fees!) for this state are so ridiculous.

3. Initial License After Passing NCLEX-RN

   digitiminimi replied to icu_rn_2012's topic in Illinois

   Has anyone heard any updates about why it's taking so long? It's been 3 weeks since I sent in my check and form.

4. So conflicted!!! Resurrection University?

   digitiminimi replied to EbonyQueen's topic in Illinois

   I just graduated from ResU. I would recommend it to people whose goal is to graduate in a short amount of time. The program is fast-paced (it is accelerated after all) and you need to keep up, but it's doable. Your life for the next 16 months will ch...

6. Nursing sucks

   digitiminimi replied to lawandaluxnurse's topic in General Nursing

   I don't agree with this mentality at all. How can you deliberately subject yourself to misery? That is just sad. Nursing can be one thing to one person and a completely different thing to another. It's different on every unit, every hospital, every s...

7. Stupid things that nurses say

   digitiminimi replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Humor

   I was in a Pt's room (in a nursing home) and looked at some photographs of people framed on her wall. Me: "Aw, your kids look just like you!" Totally acceptable in any other situation; however, this facility was exclusively for former priests and nun...

8. Does a RN salary cut it in Chicago?

   digitiminimi replied to UpliftingRN's topic in Illinois

   I think more people should consider living in places like Oak Park or Riverside (suburbs really close to the city). It's only a 10-12 min drive into downtown from Oak Park, you don't have to worry about parking or street congestion, the area is nice ...

   digitiminimi replied to RickyLatino87's topic in Illinois

   Hey all! I just graduated from Res and I am willing to sell my books for a discount if anyone is interested. I have the book for Peds, Community, Leadership, the Health Assessment lab manual workbook (not the textbook), the APA book, and Health Promo...

10. Anyone have dogs and work 12hr shifts?

    digitiminimi replied to xokelly2's topic in General Nursing

    please find some way to keep your dog without having to crate her for 12+ hours a day. no, it's not healthy for her. it made me sad to even read this.

11. Are nurses blue or white collar workers?

    digitiminimi replied to digitiminimi's topic in Professionalism

    I thought, if anything, nursing would be categorized as white collar. I just don't see a profession that has the education requirements, knowledge-level, responsibility, and licensure that we have to be blue collar. But I never looked up the actual d...

12. Are nurses blue or white collar workers?

    digitiminimi posted a topic in Professionalism

    Are nurses considered blue collar or white collar workers? My co-workers and I were having this conversation and there was no consensus.

13. Is this sneaky?

    digitiminimi replied to sbostonRN's topic in Job Hunt

    To me, it looks sneaky. Typically people list their nursing education next to their "RN," not their education in different fields. It looks like you're trying to purposefully embellish and that could hurt you in the long run.

14. Just passed the NCLEX at 75, felt it was not too bad. My study plan.

    digitiminimi replied to art1stic's topic in NCLEX

    Congrats! How many SATA questions did you get?

15. Once again.....I'm a "nurse".....

    digitiminimi replied to cherrybreeze's topic in Professionalism

    The MA's at the physician's office I go to all call themselves nurses. I even asked one of them once while she was taking my blood pressure "Are you a nurse?" and she said yes. I didn't say anything bc I was kind of shocked that she would just blatan...
