    Nurse Practioner vs Doctors

    Multicollinearity replied to IcanHealYou's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not Pinoy, but I'm pretty sure the -BC means board certified. I think CSC is Cardiac Surgery

    Does the Human Resource have the right to ask how many times you took NCLEX

    Multicollinearity replied to ProudtobeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I see no reason why they would be prohibited by law from asking about how many times you took NCLEX. It's not a Federally protected class of information like religion, race, etc. That said, I don't...

    Multicollinearity replied to NewWayofLife's topic in General Nursing

    You know leslie, that makes me think of something else. In society, if someone is acting inappropriate, he or she usually receives social cues and feedback that lets them know others think their...

    Multicollinearity replied to NewWayofLife's topic in General Nursing

    I have a relative with a personality disorder who acts inappropriate when she's hospitalized. When she does this, I just give her a long look and say in a low voice something like, "You behavior is...

    Taking science classes while nursing school?

    Multicollinearity replied to seek1kees's topic in General Students

    I agree. Next semester I'm taking 19 credits, and my GPA will remain intact. I was discussing the "passing"

    Taking science classes while nursing school?

    Multicollinearity replied to seek1kees's topic in General Students

    Thing is, if you are planning on grad school, you need to maintain and protect your high GPA. Passing, as you referred to above should not be the

    Travel nursing, agency nursing for new grads?

    Multicollinearity replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly.

    Multicollinearity replied to NewWayofLife's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like a patient with a personality disorder who will try to suck dry 110% of the resources around them. A few weeks ago in clinical, my assigned nurse told me she was giving me her...

    Making Friends in Nursing School

    Multicollinearity replied to anewday's topic in General Students

    How do you know the future, that you cannot make any lasting friendships with classmates? My point was just to choose your company

    Making Friends in Nursing School

    Multicollinearity replied to anewday's topic in General Students

    Choose your nursing school friends carefully. It's ok if it's slow going at first, making friends. I've been too friendly lately and spent time with some people I didn't want to say no to. I...

    Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    Multicollinearity replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Do not come to my home for study group, eat the pizza I order and pay for, eat all the snacks I have, eat all my Christmas candy, and then walk out the door without saying, "Thank you." (This...

    $900 for an Echocardiogram

    Multicollinearity replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, according to an itemized breakdown of my ER bill, I was billed $600 just to start my IV in the ER. Then more was added on top of that for the NS. The total bill was for $2300 just for six...

    Evil Doctors

    Multicollinearity replied to James_Adam's topic in General Nursing

    Not at all in my very limited experience. I haven't met any "evil" physicians. I have met a couple "evil" nurses, though. (Evil=passive aggressive catty

    Should have been a physical therapist

    Multicollinearity replied to Runman1914's topic in General Nursing

    A separate issue...but this makes me think of something related to PT/OT that puzzles me. Why exactly does PT or OT come to the patient's room to have them do basic ROM when the RN could do it?...

    Should have been a physical therapist

    Multicollinearity replied to Runman1914's topic in General Nursing

    this is true. this semester i overheard some radiology tech students saying all the rns do is "hand out pills and give shots." then later in the semester i overheard my nursing student classmates...

    should i study for 2nd semester finals or go to my grandmothers 75th anniversary?

    Multicollinearity replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    I'd stay home and study, especially since you said your grade is borderline. I doubt your grandmother would want you set back a year in your life as you said you'd be if you don't

    Do You Wear a Lab coat?

    Multicollinearity replied to L3Janit0r37's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There's a middle-aged male nursing student at the hospital where I'm doing clinicals who wears a looong white lab coat. I suspect he gets his kicks by looking like a physician and confusing patients....

    recently, i was a patient in an er for about six hours, in a hallway bed. i was placed in the hall by the ambulance bay and felt that blast of air every few minutes while i was vomiting off and on....

    Nursing Students Treated Like 3rd Graders

    Multicollinearity replied to MOLLBEE's topic in General Students

    I have no problem with the thing about bringing all personal belongings to the front of the classroom, no hats, etc. It seems not an insignificant number of students will cheat if given one iota of...

    The Addiction of Nursing

    Multicollinearity replied to Flightline's topic in General Nursing

    I don't care for casual use and application of the word "addiction." I prefer to use that term for cases like what I saw in the ED the other day - a woman puking because she couldn't get her fix....

    anyone actually get good grades in nursing school?

    Multicollinearity replied to moonbunnie's topic in General Students

    I have a 4.0 in nursing school so far. I've made a nice little cushion with my grades this semester, so the trend will easily continue this semester. I plan on graduating with that 4.0 intact. I...

    Care Plans - What's their purpose? - What do you think of them?

    Multicollinearity replied to jjjoy's topic in General Students

    I don't understand what length of stay has to do with care plan relevance? The other day I was in the ED, and I was running interventions and rationales through my mind without realizing

    Multicollinearity replied to tothepointeLVN's topic in General Students

    It sounds like they are insecure/immature/jealous. Try to let it roll off your back. (You can think about them quietly to yourself when you pass your board exam and they flunked out months

    Care Plans - What's their purpose? - What do you think of them?

    Multicollinearity replied to jjjoy's topic in General Students

    I understand why we have to do care plans. It's to teach the student to think like a professional nurse. However, I believe this good idea has been tortured and beat to death. And that's why I...
