1. Haven't started yet and already want out

   Rach85 posted a topic in Travel

   Hi everyone. I am a new travel nurse and was really really looking forward to travel nursing. I have since signed up with a travel agency and now just don't even want to do it anymore. My recruiter asked me specifically if he was my only recruiter an...

2. Irritating Classmates

   Rach85 replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

   Thank you for this thread! I've been bullied all through nursing school by -get this- my "friend" who has been through the entire program with me even with prerequisites. A 'toxic friend' as you would call it who has recruited other clique-ish people...

3. I absolutely HATE it!

   Rach85 replied to Manepride's topic in General Students

   I am in the same boat as you. I'm 25 just turned 26 and there are "adults" in my class older than me or same age that act like they're still in high school! Get this, they even made an acronym for their clique name that contains their initials. They ...

4. Former preceptor yelled and humiliated me in front of everyone. Do I keep quiet?

   Rach85 replied to mnf4ever's topic in New Nurse

   See this as a challenge! Do your very best so that next time she tries to show you up she's the one who gets humiliated -it's obvious she wants to undermine how great you're doing Ok well I know that's not the best way to handle it but take this in ...

5. Disillusioned and Bullied

   Rach85 replied to Traum-a-Rama's topic in New Nurse

   I say lay low and wait it out. Your professional work has nothing to do with personal conflicts in the work place and if your charts will be "audited" as they say (which I hope they're kidding because that's more bullying right there) and if you have...

6. I just feel that I would feel in much better hands if I had nurses that were sexy

   Rach85 replied to themoreyouknow's topic in Relations

   personally, I think the guy had his mind set when he got that old grumpy nurse. Not that I agree with him, but I do agree that a whole lotta nurses nowadays are grumpy and just rotten! Sure I think 'tough love' nursing is good, but just mean grumpy c...

7. BSN recent grad -should i get a CNA???

   Rach85 replied to studentkj's topic in General Nursing

   Yes you can take your CNA right away, my classmates got their CNA license after just 1st semester and only had to take the written test. I would recommend taking the NCLEX FIRST asap!! THEN go and look for both a nursing job and a CNA job at the same...

8. help me! i need to make a decision: "college or University$$$"??

   Rach85 replied to mirc88sl's topic in General Students

   I say go for your ADN, and work while getting your BSN. Save the big loans for your Master's/Advanced Degree. It'll be tough but a job nowadays is not guaranteed right out of school. I'm getting my ADN and BSN at the same time...from what I'm looking...

9. Summer Nursing Classes

   Rach85 replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

   My classmates are taking classes towards their ADN graduation requirements that they haven't taken yet i.e. humanities, speech, communications, Math. Or take some classes that would count towards your BSN- never too early to start! :)

    Woot congrats! I just finished 3rd this week and doing our practice HESI on Monday. We had OB/Maternity & Community in the first half and Med-Surg & Leadership in the second half this semester. Was planning on enjoying summer break- but inst...
