1. RN bashing

   Jayonoway replied to SCRN1's topic in General Nursing

   I guess I've been pretty fortunate in this aspect...I have only had fairly good experiences with most co-workers. Now there have been a few, but I didn't attest it to the fact they were an RN, more to the fact that that was their personality defeict...

3. Personnal lives or reckless?

   Jayonoway replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

   Just possibly an observation: anyone think that as nurses we seek out thrilling activities outside of work to mimic the rush of work? I know when I worked a very busy ortho floor I would try to pack in as much on my off days as I could so my day "f...

4. LPN student needing to vent about family

   Jayonoway replied to Nursing N 2004's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   My best advice: learn to say "no". Explain to the ones who comprehend that you're really busy...and that they need to help YOU. Too often we Mom's put ourselves last. I had to learn that when I went thru school. My three girls were ages 8, 11 &a...

   Jayonoway replied to davisll's topic in Online Learning

   NurseTee, Indeed, you are correct that after you utilize whatever publisher for study guides to clep out of the tests you do in fact then have your final transcript sent to Excelsior (old name Regents) to be reviewed and accepted. Once that is done y...

10. Chancellor's/Regent College for RN?

    Jayonoway replied to davisll's topic in Online Learning

    I recently started the program utilizing the RUE study guides. I'm very excited and I added up all the costs. It was a bit more expensive to go this way but then again if I quit my job to go to school full time it would cost bigger ducks in the lon...
