1. Become a nurse in just 12 months!!!

   Neilsbiggestfan replied to askater11's topic in Safety

   Like it or not, nursing is going the way of "Cracker Jack Box" degrees. At least, that is what many people I have talked to feel like. This either means nursing is way underrated or way overrated.

2. Evil OB

   Neilsbiggestfan replied to Dayray's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I am a very gentle person and would definitely feel violated as a patient if he handled me this way. I would be very upset and angry. I can't believe there have not been complaints against this jerk.

3. I am sick and tired of being asked "Who is watching your kids?"

   Neilsbiggestfan replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

   I know how you feel exactly. I get sick of having to give explanations about where my children are and who they are with. I homeschool my children, and it is as bad when you have them out during the day and people ask why they are not in school. My ...

   Yes, that strikes me as very odd. It seems like there is a lot of the puzzle that is missing.

7. question for private duty nurses...any out there?

   Neilsbiggestfan replied to ArwenEvenstar's topic in Private Duty

   I work private duty and love it, but it has always been a real pain in the neck when it comes to asking for any time off, the staffing coordinator acts like I'm just asking too much. The pay is fair but the way I see it, they don't take out taxes, th...

    Yes, me too.

11. When did you take off for maternity leave?

    Neilsbiggestfan replied to MSMCnurse2004's topic in General Nursing

    When I had my last child, I worked up until the night she was born. I worked the 3-11 shift at a LTC facility and in the evenings when things would quiet down I would sit in an office chair and roll myself up and down the halls to check on patients. ...

12. Interested in becoming a FNP

    Neilsbiggestfan posted a topic in NP

    I have an associate degree in nursing and am interested in possibly becoming a FNP and working out of my own office doing humanitarian cases in a rural area. Would a school take me seriously if I have an AS degree from Excelsior and an online BSN fro...

13. Trouble getting job

    Neilsbiggestfan replied to Kashlee's topic in Online Learning

    It's not true to say these states will not accept the degree, because the only state not accepting Excelsior graduates at all is California. These other states that don't directly accept the degree *will* accept it with some stipulations, like Illi...

14. Is there any CRNA schools that did not fill seats

    Neilsbiggestfan replied to sw21 RN's topic in SRNA

    But there is an age limit on joining the army resrves? At 30 I think I've missed that ship.

15. Oh what a night!

    Neilsbiggestfan replied to dinkymouse's topic in Geriatric

    If I walked in and read that on the communication sheet I'd turn around and walk back out. Seriously, a sense of humor is a MUST in the nursing home, an absolute MUST. The only way the staff and I survived nights like you just described was with a s...
