   mountainview210 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   If you inflicted these scars then your mental health status should be checked out. How do they know you won't harm others. Also obviously uness you volunteer how you got your scars info how in the world would they find out. I'm just worried about you...

   mountainview210 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   There's some schools with horrible schedules, these schools are not made for the working student. Perhaps go to a school that will accommodate your schedule and or will make it possible to attend school and work. I was going to go to west coast unive...

4. Why do minorities have more respect for nurses?

   mountainview210 replied to Runman1914's topic in Relations

   With all due respect although the NCLEX was hard, it wasn't that hard for me actually and I would have been surprised if I didn't pass. Actually I'm surprised many of my classmates passed. With that said, the bar is one of the most intense exams peri...

5. Why do minorities have more respect for nurses?

   mountainview210 replied to Runman1914's topic in Relations

   The hospital is in an area where we get a lot of Cuban and Haitian patients. Those aren't considered minorities or please use a better term which is people of color. What you're talking about are foreigners and common sense should tell you these peo...

   Always check the reviews for anything you're planning spending money on, just google them. Plus I heard hospitals want acute care experience NOT necessarily training alone

   mountainview210 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello, I'm a new nurse but within a few weeks I'll have my year with my LVN license. I've been working in home health all this time with a few agencies. I was thinking of transitioning to either a long term (convalescent) or some type of facility tha...

   mountainview210 replied to SopranoKris's topic in General Nursing

   I can't do nites either, can't sleep during the day and have damaged my body by forcing myself to work nites.

   I'm an introvert and prefer nites due to all the reasons people have stated here but my biggest challenge is sleeping during the day, how do you guys do it? maybe it's not for everyone I guess. I can't seem to sleep during the day, I only sleep like ...

10. I can't believe I actually *like* night shift!

    I couldn't do it any longer either. I'm switching after 4 months but I agree with the others, less drama working at nite, too bad I don't sleep well during the day =(

13. Would You Report Me for This?

    mountainview210 replied to cupquake's topic in General Nursing

    It's everyone business, what if this nurse also takes care of their family member or may need to in in the future? That's the problem these days, people do not like to stick up for others and have that attitude if it doesn't affect me then it doesn't...

14. Would You Report Me for This?

    mountainview210 replied to cupquake's topic in General Nursing

    New nurse? That's just an excuse. What she did was clearly wrong and what's worse is her attitude thinking she did nothing wrong and want to blame the DON and the concerned family member. The OP clearly doesn't like to take accountability for her act...
