    "When will I remove my Fake Nails?", .......Does that mean I'll have to put some on first? The other guys might give me hell if I did.
  2. Current news on EMT acceptance for EC

    I don't agree with that since they (EC) don't even test the students in the skills that a Paramedic posseses anyway, ex. IV insertion, EKG recognition, advanced Airway management. In fact, most of the skills and knowledge taught to Paramedics is not ...
  3. Male Nurses.

    But I look "Dead Sexy" in a Thong.
  4. EMT to RN?

    Having been an EMT/Paramedic for 15 years now and about to take my CPNE, I can honestly say, GO STRAIGHT TO NURSING SCHOOL AND DO NOT PASS GO.
  5. Pharmaceutical Ads Don't Work

    Not exactely off topic but I hate that ad for DermaBond, as if high strung parents wer'nt numorous enough, now many more will be trying to insist upon it's use even after explainations as to why traditional sutures would be more advantageous for cert...
  6. Should nurses strike?

    Nurses have just as much a right to strike as other fields and professions do, and "picket line crossers" have just as much a right to do that as well.
  7. CPNE: Opinions and Discussion

    Who has had to retake the CPNE, did you feel that it placed too much emphasis on benign considerations and not enough emphasis on what may be more important aspecs and skills of ACTUAL nursing.....I'm starting this thread for others "frank" opinions ...
  8. B honest, how many B or C students are out there?

    Grades are not allways an indicator of how you will be able to actually PERFORM as a nurse, MEMORIZING the material and APPLYING the material are not the same. Being a "B" student myself, and having been working in the field since 1988, I feel that I...
  9. Question about CPNE

    Yes, that is one of the incredible things I found very difficult to believe at first. You will NEVER be tested or evaluated for competancy on a very important skill such as I.V. insertion, You WILL however be FAILED for not offering a "comfort measur...
  10. ? about Excelsior

    Ive found the study guides most helpful, and remember many many test questions coming directly from the books, MY problem has been with the CPNE (see thread topic).
  11. I am finished with the Assc. program, with the exception of completing the CPNE, which I have Frustratingly taken twice now, has anyone else "breezed" through the program, like myself, only now to be "hitting a brickwall" with the CPNE? Oh, and so yo...

  13. URGENT, All DFW area Healthcare workers

    Let me repeat just what this IS. It is an INTERNAL division formed by the "Dallas Ft. Worth Hospital Council", and NOT an OUTSIDE PRIVATE service that the "Council" is using. This "Council" of Hospitals is comprised of virtualy EVERY Hosp. and Surger...
  14. URGENT, All DFW area Healthcare workers

    You are either in a supervisory position, or failed to actually READ the site I mentioned, I suggest you not respond to threads in such a negative way until you educate yourself about what the individual is SPECIFICALLY refering to.
  15. URGENT, All DFW area Healthcare workers

    The problem with this company is the lack of "checks and balances" that should be applied to the process of employers submitting "reports" about employees. I am not speaking about CRIMINAL BACKGROUND checks, which by the way can be performed WITHOUT ...
