I may be completely wrong, but generally don't the benefits really make it worth it? You aren't going to be working as many hours per year, and I would imagine that the health and retirement benefits...

I agree with the others about HIPAA. I don't see how it is acceptable for the policy to demand people to witness that really have no business dealing with patient information.

While they have changed the curriculum, I can almost guarantee that you will need 3-4 days a week. As for the hours that will change every semester, but they have at least 2 lectures a week and...

This brings up a question I have been meaning to ask. I am in my last semester of school and we are doing a hospital rotation through Kaiser. It seems that they have BOTH 8hr and 12hr shifts at the...

Susan G. Komen has been so disappointing lately. Who the hell cares what company is donating money? Take what you view as something bad and make something positive out of it.

It would become a problem when a 'jerk' patient is in pain, said nurse roles their eyes and stalls caring for them. Honestly some people are horrible to deal with, and you can eyeroll and ***** all...

That's what you would think, yet there they are, helping with clean-ups. Maybe they are not "allowed" to do it, so if a potential lawsuit comes up they can claim it was the employee being reckless...

I was just in the hospital (HCA) last week for a cholecystectomy and ERCP. First room I had was a 4 patient room, second time it was a private room (weird the difference a floor makes I guess). ...

Had a patient that was on our telemetry floor for something completely not heart related. It was either me or one of my fellow nurse assistants that happened to leave the pulse ox on her finger after...

After seeing the cord to the BP cuff/thermometer/pulse ox fall into the commode, or mingle with feces on the patients bed, and sometimes puked on, all to be wiped "clean" with a washcloth... no...

They are really picky about uniforms. Yes, it HAS to be Dove apparel for you to participate in clinical. You even have to use approved undershirts if you get cold in the hospital. They will go over...

If you are making a facebook page just keep in mind that there are two RCC Nusing classes of 2014, one that graduates in the spring and the other in the fall. Just an FYI so you don't get people...

Rice Krispy treats are a privilege, not a right.

Isn't there a loan program for students that promise to work in an underserved area for a set amount of time? I can't remember the name but maybe someone might recognize what I'm talking about.

Refer to my picture... Nurse Joy is totally acceptable :D

Well, my first thought is now we know why the other nurses leave him in the fetal position... There are some people you just can't please.

I had 75 points and was selected as an alternate. There were others that made it in free and clear with 75 points.

With money being as tight as it is, they only invite the top ____ to take the TEAS. About 2 years ago they would let everyone take it and then they decided I think only the top 100 would be invited...

Go to a community college in So Cal, there are PLENTY that don't have waitlists. I understand you may be willing to pay a lot of money, but I can't in good conscience recommend that anyone go to WCU...

Well, they always accepted 90 students (80 or close to it), it's just now all 90 students are on the same campus in our new building. Depending on who else is applying you can get in with 75. I had...

This was a lot of fun :)

If you don't mind waiting the extra months I would wait for it to disappear off of your record. Only my opinion, I don't know how the law works, and I'm not sure if they will "always" know about your...

I cannot stress what you have said enough. They don't care about what is fair or right. If they can get you for a lower price they will want to keep it that way. I am guessing the reason most places...

I am sure someone will sue the medics that follow the order on the tattoo. :idea:

What an awesome post! I think This should be made available to every nursing student starting out so they have an idea of what to do during clinicals to maximize their learning. Thanks for sharing :)
