  1. Intensity of adn/absn programs

    I've noticed that most adn programs have many prereq's that cause a considerable wait. Most require micro, a/p 1 and 2, and a few others before you can apply. The problem is that the a/p 1 and 2 have to be taken one after the other. That can take ...
  2. LOST

    First, not knowing your normal ranges is an easy fix. I won't waste your time with telling you how. But do remember that most nurses don't know all of these ranges by heart unless it applies to their area of practice. Also remember that experience...
  3. Second Thoughts..???

    I've had some instructors that ran their clinicals paramilitary style. That can be obnoxious, but life changes when you get that one instructor with a gift for explaining. That clinical for me wasn't easier, (heck, I was reprimanded by him a few t...
  4. Nurse with Disdain

    Sorry you had to deal with that. However, I guess my point still stands. It seems like staff didn't like dealing with the sick needy people. It also seems like you didn't like dealing with extra sick needy people (I'm sure there are several legitim...
  5. You are right. It would be wrong to fire someone for being obese (wow...can we say lawsuit for bad terminology). However, if obesity interferes with being able to do the minimum requirements of a job then you would be wrong. I responded to one poi...
  6. Nurse with Disdain

    Your post could be seen with a fair amount of irony. Your reason for being sarcastic is due to spending a lot of time (shift from H E L L) with the same people the OP is tired of dealing with. I think you might be able to relate to him, although ju...
  7. So, would you expect a nurse manager to hire someone who can't bend over to tie their own shoes and asks for extra breaks to smoke?
  8. I just can't do this anymore...

    I'm sorry to hear that. I hope your life is happier now that you are away from him. I might would have typed the same response had I been in your shoes.
  9. I just can't do this anymore...

    Respectfully, I think I'd like more info before giving this advice.
  10. I just can't do this anymore...

    I know nothing about your husband other than what you wrote, but if your biggest problem is him being a hypocrite and desiring a return on an education investment...then all men are a-holes, jerks, expletive, expletive. Anything else I write would j...
  11. Gay male nurse concern about male patient care

    I think I would handle this like any male rejected by a female patient. I'd respect their wishes and go on. Sexual orientation shouldn't make this a harder question than it is. If a female nurse is rejected by a male patient then simply respect hi...
  12. Although I'm an advocate for formulas, I am writing this in case you can't remember one for a test or quiz. Remember that dosages always uses simple math, always. There are no tricks and it can usually be answered without formulas if you forget the...
  13. My grades /:

    Now that is the attitude of someone that will probably graduate nursing school.
  14. Are you an A student. How do you achieve it

    I'm being slightly sarcastic, but only slightly. Go to the right school that gives more A's than other competing schools. Not all nursing schools or instructors are created equal. I have seen classes where no one has made an A in the last 5 years...
  15. C's in Nursing

    I hope you aren't worrying too much about this. There will be several rn-bsn bridges that you can do that won't care about a few C's in core nursing classes. Try to make up for them with A's in prereq's and sciences. I would say that 99% of hospi...
