  1. Med Surg Nursing

    EDNURSE20 replied to BSN_TN's topic in General Nursing

    Wait just a couple more months, get a year of experience in then start applying else where. You will look much better to employers with some experience. Plus changing jobs with only a couple of months...

  2. Specialization: When to Decide?

    EDNURSE20 replied to Alrewolf's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry I wouldn't be listening to you mum, who isn't a nurse. This is your career, you are the one doing it every day not her. Do what makes you happy, that's worth more than money! Also it's...

  3. Awful Preceptor

    EDNURSE20 replied to RN Grad 17''s topic in General Students

    I agree. Suck it up and deal with it. And instead of given her stuff to read and more work, take initiative. Your about to be a RN. Go in there tell her exactly what you want to do that day. Do as...

  4. Too good to be true?

    EDNURSE20 replied to Racer15's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, look into the company doing the research. $75 an hour seems like a lot. Would also query how isolated it seems. Sounds like you there by yourself, choosing when to discharge pt, access to...

  5. Nursing school in my 30s

    EDNURSE20 replied to mirem's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you should put off nursing school. If that's what you wanna do right now then do it. All the other stuff is just talk about the future, who know what will happen? Unless you currently...

  6. Using phones as a sitter-thoughts?

    EDNURSE20 replied to allinone's topic in General Nursing

    At my local hospital it's mostly old ladies close to retirement who do that Job. They just sit all day reading magazines and doing crosswords. Makes me so angry. Doesn't look good at all and the pt...

  7. Being called a baby nurse

    EDNURSE20 replied to NurseA1987's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's a common term, you are a new RN, new to the icu which yes make you a "baby nurse". She would of just said without having any real meaning behind it. I don't think it was to put you down...

  8. Student about to Graduate University

    EDNURSE20 replied to marlena.erika's topic in General Students

    well NZ/Aus are very small places that a very similar. As much as we hate being compared, we are basically the same. And yes, not an RN yet. But I will be in 6 weeks. And our education here is much...

  9. It's not my job to pray with you.

    EDNURSE20 replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I'm not religious at all. But I think it's important to be there for your pt. it's no different than sitting with them listening to them or holding there hand when they are scared. Praying is how they...

  10. Graduated as Top Student of BSN Class and Failed NCLEX at 75 questions.

    EDNURSE20 replied to JaceLucien's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Personally I don't think your in the right head space to start thinking about study methods and re taking the test. You've just failed, which you really didn't think you would. It's tough. And right...

  11. Student about to Graduate University

    EDNURSE20 replied to marlena.erika's topic in General Students

    No not against Americans. But the more I use this site, the more negative view I get. Seems like all nurses have an attitude and if not, they are being bullied. There just seems to be so much drama...

  12. Self sabotage in last semester? HELP

    EDNURSE20 posted a topic in General Students

    I am 6 weeks away from my bsn, and I think I might be subconsciously sabotaging myself. This whole last year I've been so nervous, but lately I've been feeling like I'm going to fail, unmotivated and...

  13. Mother of nurse

    EDNURSE20 replied to Dgeertsema's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sounds like New Zealand! Our exam is only done 3 times a year. All new grads take it at the exact same time over the whole country. Two 90 questions exams, in the same day, and everyone has the same...

  14. PLEASE HELP: New grad, 3 months into first job, want to quit and leave it off resume

    EDNURSE20 replied to roseofmay's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should talk to your boss again, if you show them how upset/anxious you are it's going to be really hard for them to just turn you away and nit listen. Be honest with them. If things don't...

  15. Australian Pre-registered Nurse wanting new grad role in USA

    EDNURSE20 replied to marlena.erika's topic in Nursing Career

    Oh wow! Looking at your profile and the lies keep coming. You have 20 years experience in critical care and use bsn in you name but don't even graduate to nov 2018. You clearly have no idea what...

  16. Student about to Graduate University

    EDNURSE20 replied to marlena.erika's topic in General Students

    so essentially you went to Aus to steal the tax payers money and then go back to the us without providing a service to the public who paid for your education? Nice. thats a bit idealistic thinking...

  17. Student about to Graduate University

    EDNURSE20 replied to marlena.erika's topic in General Students

    You live in America but study in Australia? Why? How is that possible? Also getting a new grad position in Australia is not a given. Lots of new grads who can't find work. Finally nursing I'm...

  18. What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

    EDNURSE20 replied to nirvana1's topic in Nursing Humor

    I had a patient called grace but was spelled jgrace, the mum said the j was silent and spelled like that because she didn't like her

  19. What struggles did you go through to eventually become a nurse? Share your story.

    EDNURSE20 replied to alieu4's topic in General Nursing

    2011: Finished high school, first one in my family to do so. I had to fight to stay in high school as my family don't believe in education. So when I said I wanted to go to uni I was laughed at and...

  20. Anyone commute long distance to school everyday?

    EDNURSE20 replied to LindsayRadun's topic in General Students

    I have 45 min drive. At first I thought it would be annoying. But honestly you quickly adjust and the drive doesn't feel long and annoying, just feels normal. It does have some benefits though, I'm...

  21. Dream job with strings attached

    EDNURSE20 replied to kearsleyRN's topic in Aesthetics

    You're a new grad that's been offered you dream job. I don't know why you would question this offer. It's what you want to do, so why does it bother you that you have to say there for a certain...

  22. How to cure senioritis?

    EDNURSE20 posted a topic in General Students

    I am almost done with nursing school (bsn) and I am just burnt out. I'm so anxious, actually terrified, about failing but also lacking severely in motivation to get it done. I have 3 essay to write...

  23. Unsure about career!

    EDNURSE20 replied to emilysteele's topic in United Kingdom

    I'm currently in my last year of my nursing degree in NZ. Up until now I've found it easy enough and really enjoyable. But this year is the hardest thing I've ever done. It is a lot of pressure and I...

  24. What would you like as a thank you?

    EDNURSE20 replied to Quita19426's topic in Nurses Rock

    I believe nurses/caregivers are not allowed accept gifts. It is unethical, especially money or gift cards. However I have seen gifts of food been given, which is only given to the manager to share...

  25. I didn't get accepted into a RN program. What should I do now? Find employment, school?

    EDNURSE20 replied to forevermn's topic in General Students

    Work. CNA if you want, but any job will have its benefits. No point in studying something else if you know you want to be a RN. Waste of time and money. I didn't get accepted in a bn programme, and...
