1. Des Monies vs Iowa City

   snapshot replied to aerorunner80's topic in Iowa

   Aw, I wouldn't agree with that. I really enjoyed working there, and I worked in a lot of different areas.

2. Tattoos are taboo at work. Yes? No?

   snapshot replied to Joe V's topic in Rock

   Like anything, it's the few that ruin it for the many. Most people are used to tattoos...even if they wouldn't get one themselves, they aren't going to be offended by someone else's. That said, it's a risky endeavor for an employer to not have a ta...

3. ACLS help please my work just sprung this on me

   snapshot replied to abells's topic in General Nursing

   I just had the exact same thing happen to me, and I passed. If you want to chat about it, let me know and I can send you my email or something. You'll be fine, though--I agree with the others about what to do. Good luck!

4. Nurse managers (or experienced RNs), help me out?

   snapshot posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hey all, I'm a new grad, and I am currently a relief float tech for most of our inpatient units. I did quite well in nursing school, and because I am hoping to work in OB (eventually midwifery, if possible), I use every chance I could to increase my...

5. Pvt - I got 2 different messages??? Took nclex rn this morning

   snapshot replied to Viictoriaann's topic in NCLEX

   It won't necessarily work immediately after you finish. The board has to receive your results first...I believe it will say "Delivery Sucessful." If it does say that, then there may be another reason your results are on hold. What state are you te...

6. Taking NCLEX - RN tomorrow...

   snapshot replied to HomeGrownMichiganRN's topic in NCLEX

   No, not at all...most states won't have your licensing information immediately. My state, for example, takes a minimum of 3 business days. You may be able to check your BON's website to see if there is information about how long it will take.

7. My predicament

   snapshot replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

   Yeah, that's tough, because obviously you wanted to get licensed sooner rather than later since you chose the ADN program. I guess you have to weigh what's more important - your GPA after you're done, or how soon you can be a nurse. If my grades ha...

8. My predicament

   snapshot replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

   Wow, you are right about our situations...if it weren't for a few details being different, I would think that we are in the same program! Disorganization and strict adherence to policies for their own sake are the two main themes throughout the clas...

9. Instructor on a power trip

   snapshot replied to snapshot's topic in General Students

   llg - Unfortunately, the policy in the program is that I can't wait until my final grade is in to back and try to get something changed. The only reason I'm still able to be even contesting these points is that they weren't even deducted until well ...

10. Instructor on a power trip

    snapshot replied to snapshot's topic in General Students

    psu_213 - The reason I used the word 'insulting' is not because I don't think professionalism is important, it's because adding those points to our grade implies that we need to be taught how to be professional. Not only are most of us 'non-traditio...

11. Instructor on a power trip

    snapshot posted a topic in General Students

    Okay all, I have an issue with an instructor and I need an outside perspective. It's a long one and I'll probably give to many details, so if you can bear with me, I appreciate it. Backstory: I am in my second semester of the RN year at a community ...
