   Is nursing burn out really that bad?

   Nursynursenurse replied to nursingcand's topic in General Nursing

   CPA is harder because it's an "extra" certification and is not needed to work as an accountant. All you need is a degree. To work as a nurse you need a degree and to pass the NCLEX which is a licensure exam. It is a MINIMUM COMPETENCY exam. If the NC...

   Is Phlebotomy necessary to pursue nursing?

   Nursynursenurse replied to Tt_'s topic in Pre-Nursing

   Locating the vein is 90% of phlebotomy and starting an IV! Of course they're alike. Although I had my CNA which was required for nursing school, I worked as a phlebotomist throughout nursing school to pay the bills. It paid better than CNA ...

   Nocturnal Muscle Cramps

   Nursynursenurse replied to Danielle BSN's topic in Education

   I used to suffer with terrible foot cramps in the arch of my feet day and night probably due to dehydration and poor nutrition. Using Hylands otc cramping tablets work so well along with taking it with a lot of water/Gatorade. Everytime I felt a "pre...

   Too Fat To Be A Nurse?

   Nursynursenurse replied to Newprospnp's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not sure if you are trolling or if this is real. Just because you can eat and feel satisfied with a maintenance calories doesn't mean that someone else can. If the above was true then NOBODY would be overweight or obese. Dieting means restri...

   Never Say Never

   Nursynursenurse replied to Kristi Van Winkle's topic in General Nursing

   That comment really upset me and made me think of the time when my nursing instructor noticed that I was quiet and not conversing with the group during clinical. She said, “If you can barely talk than how will you be able to talk to a doctor as a nur...

   What % of women don't know basics of female anatomy?

   Nursynursenurse replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   This is very true, vulva/labia are forbidden words. When I worked in an outpatient lab we had posters that explained how to collect a clean catch urine. For males it said to wipe around the tip of the penis, no big deal. For females it said use finge...

   Ear bug!

   Nursynursenurse replied to JenTheSchoolRN's topic in School

   Having a bug in my ear is my absolute worst fear ever! One time I thought I felt something crawl inside my ear and I was too afraid to have someone look in case there was something. I started to get dizzy and almost passed out. I used a qtip and clea...

   In fear of losing my license.

   Nursynursenurse replied to Newgrad665's topic in General Nursing

   Many posters keep asking how he found out she was a nurse and where she works as if she is to blame. She said she met him through work which hardly makes him a "virtual stranger" or some creeper she met online. She knew him in real life.

    In fear of losing my license.

    Nursynursenurse replied to Newgrad665's topic in General Nursing

    And people keep telling her that she shouldn't have told him she was a nurse or used her real name which is terrible advice if you want to be a normal human being who is capable of having relationships.

    In fear of losing my license.

    Nursynursenurse replied to Newgrad665's topic in General Nursing

    Are we as nurses not allowed to use our real names or say our occupation when going on a date? I don't know. It would be kind of shady if I couldn't verify my date's identity or if he wouldn't tell me what he does for a living.

    Wrongful termination or being put between a rock and a hard place!

    Nursynursenurse replied to jrstephens1's topic in General Nursing

    Had the BON taken her seriously the first time, she wouldnt have had to keep calling and emailing them. It is my understanding that they sided with her employer from the start while breaking their own law by not requiring actual evidence as to why sh...

    Wrongful termination or being put between a rock and a hard place!

    Nursynursenurse replied to jrstephens1's topic in General Nursing

    Reading your story makes me want to go back to college and get a backup degree for when I get wrongfully terminated. What ever happened to innocent before proven guilty? Who is in charge of making checks and balances on the BON? Its seems like the BO...

    Seeking advice from all you Introverted nurses out there...

    Nursynursenurse replied to jk2185's topic in Relations

    I used to think that I'm an introvert but found out I'm actually a shy extrovert. I get anxious around people and have social phobia but hate being alone. I love going out and socializing, I'm just super awkward most of the time and make dumb mistake...
