   Unfair Clinical Evaluations

   Luchador replied to guest723's topic in General Students

   I would be sure to have your little notebook out and take notes of the feedback they give you. Seriously it sounds like you have some good nurses there but some evil ones too. I do pretty much everything you do and have never gotten anything but fan...

   Unfair Clinical Evaluations

   Luchador replied to guest723's topic in General Students

   Posts like this make me so glad I am a male nursing student in my last year. I do pretty much everything the original poster does, even carry around a tiny notebook I write things in and stick in my pocket, a habit from my ambulance days. I never get...

   Spouse of nurse

   Luchador replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

   When I was a teacher I made about half of my wife's salary. It will be the same or worse when I start nursing. I'm glad she didn't think like the op!

   Med Math

   Luchador replied to Sunflower117's topic in General Students

   With those grades, more than capable. It's really not so bad once you get your head around proportions and dimensional analysis.

   Fishy, illegitimate contract..?

   Luchador replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

   So I just had an interesting conversation with my lawyer buddy. I pulled up the original post and showed him it. He said that parts of it are legitimate and parts of it are not. Obviously saying you cannot disclose secrets to law enforcement is absur...

   Fishy, illegitimate contract..?

   Luchador replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

   The whole thing just seems weird as hell. If my new employer asked me to hand write my contract on paper to his dictation and put in weird stuff like that I would laugh in his face get up and walk away.

   Ohio Hospital Fires 23 After Fentanyl Overdose Deaths

   Luchador replied to J.Adderton's topic in Headlines

   I am curious as to what you think the possible outcomes are of giving a patient an IV paralytic and then extubating the patient. I am grateful for your thoughts because they illustrate how a go along mentality could cause a nurse to lose his license...

   I always get called if someone is sick

   Luchador replied to Grogon's topic in General Nursing

   I will never understand why people answer the phone if work is calling them on a day off. Do people think they are calling to tell them that you are getting a huge raise? Are they calling to tell you that you you get the next week off on paid vacat...

    Recording Lectures?

    Luchador replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Students

    I'm not an auditory learner, really, but I have a long commute to school so I record lectures. Even casually listening to them as I drive is great help. In particular it seems a good way to catch the hints and little nuggets of what will be on exams....

    Panicking Over Vaccines 3 Weeks until School Starts!!!

    Mine as well. I feel bad for the original poster. The person that can give her the answer she needs is sitting on a beach right now having a fruity rum drink near Tulum

    I'm So Over Nursing. I would rather work at Costco!!

    Luchador replied to rnfrombama's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry you're having a rough time. I suspect after working for $10.75 an hour at Costco for a week you'd start looking for another RN job. Retail is the worst. Horrible bosses, on your feet more than nursing and lots of contact with crowds of horrib...

    Options for Non-Nursing Degree Holders

    Luchador replied to MaiaS's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hello! You should look at options in your area because the variability in programs is huge. I have a master's in English, yet the "accelerated" BSN in my area would have taken longer than the ADN because of the additional pre-reqs and chem and o-chem...

    I've not seen it in my limited student experience (Nursling !) , but don't some burn victims and cancer pts get doses that are incredibly high, too?
