    Student Loans and Debt

    175K? No ma'am, find another, lower cost program. That's ridiculous. Go to a community college and get your ADN/RN and work your way up from

    BSN but not a nurse

    NurseBlaq replied to PirateArrrNnnn's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Oh now we're getting somewhere! Maybe she can't take the NCLEX until her legal issues are settled. BON doesn't play about character when it comes to approving

    BSN but not a nurse

    NurseBlaq replied to PirateArrrNnnn's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Not the same as wishing her to fail. When were you made the gatekeeper of success? If you call wanting to someone to fail a friendship I can only imagine the carnage you wish on your

    Grandmas medication record used in custody dispute

    NurseBlaq replied to 410erika's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You told other people, maybe she or someone she knows also knows those "few close friends." I think the whole situation sounds messy. If lawyers are involved then let them handle it. We only know the...

    Bullied as a kinda new nurse

    NurseBlaq replied to allyyy's topic in General Nursing

    I usually ask people what they have or haven't done to get a baseline of where they're at and what I can and can't expect them to do without having to teach it. However, if they don't speak and relay...

    Problems Before Nursing School

    NurseBlaq replied to Remia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A classmate and I took turns driving. One week she drove, next week I drove. If we had something to do like a dr appointment and needed to leave early, or what have you, we let the other know and we...

    I used to pack my children's lunch in the evening before work (when they had to take a lunch), bathe them and put in PJs, get their clothes ready for the next day, you have a daughter so do her hair...

    Glad you are reaching out for help, getting therapy, and taking the initiative to recognize you have a problem. First, stop drinking before it becomes a downward slope. Second, I would continue...

    Problems Before Nursing School

    NurseBlaq replied to Remia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you in the US? Is there a way to apply for Medicaid? Do you already work and haven't picked up insurance at your job? Since you don't have a car, is other transportation available in your area...

    Maybe so. That is not what I meant. I meant there's no difference in duties and working conditions. Maybe I wasn't clear in what I

    New nurse guilt

    NurseBlaq replied to Guest1119933's topic in General Nursing

    OP also stated they did everything possible to get the patient transferred to a higher level of acuity but no one would support them in that decision. Maybe a call to the RRT team would have helped...

    Mini Rant

    NurseBlaq replied to ShadowNurse's topic in General Nursing

    In the States we have diploma, associate degree, and bachelor degree RNs. Diploma and associate degree RNs learn the same as bachelor degree RNs only in a shorter amount of time. I did the associate...

    RNs giving patient lab results.

    NurseBlaq replied to Dperez201's topic in General Nursing

    See what I mean? More BS. So when the surgeon and his team opened my throat during surgery and actually SAW the goiter was more bigger than it displayed on the ultrasound your excuse for that is what?...

    NurseBlaq replied to nurseontheway's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on several factors as others have pointed out. The main thing is complete an incident report as it's very important in case you need it in the future for litigation or worker's comp. Also,...
