1. Clipping nails at nurse's station

   shann106 replied to BillieP's topic in General Nursing

   I'm with you, I would much rather sit by someone who is clipping their nails than sit near someone who just took a smoke break and reeks like an ashtray

2. Let's be honest

   shann106 replied to Serrano2886's topic in Case Management

   Honestly I think it would be hard to have a day off during the week. Adjusters, claimants, and employers are going to expect to be able to reach you everyday. Field requires you to go to all MD appts, you can't tell an injured worker they cannot see ...

3. Screaming match with my preceptor

   shann106 replied to jherd's topic in Relations

   Sorry but I think you need to start looking for another job. What you did was unacceptable and I am actually surprised you were not let go when it happened. Her behavior was wrong and I am not defending her but cussing and name calling is very unprof...

4. How important is appearance?

   shann106 replied to FieryPsychRN's topic in Management

   I am in a different position now, but when I was doing interviews appearance did matter, as did smells. Smelling strongly of cigarettes, day old alcohol, or severe body odor would really bother me. I feel like the last thing a patient needs when they...

   shann106 replied to Adrienne6's topic in New Nurse

   No, I freaking hate it! If I had it to do all over again I would have not gone into nursing, and I advise anyone thinking about it to not do it. People say they go into nursing to help people but the truth is we get so little time with out patients ...

   shann106 replied to soxchick11's topic in NCLEX

   Relax. I took NCLEX on Sat, it was not bad at all. All of my classmates so far have agreed that it was about the same as our normal exams in school. I only had two math questions. The instructions said to give the answer in a whole number. I agree wi...

   shann106 replied to lilmissjuly17's topic in NCLEX

   I took mine on Sat, passed with 75 questions. I had two math questions, I cannot remember if my last ? was math or not. I had about 25 select all that apply and about 25 drug questions. I did not think it was that bad, for the most part easier than m...

15. nursing student discouraged

    shann106 replied to Tsatalstrana's topic in General Students
