1. Feeling terrible about a mistake I made in clinical

   Waiting for Retirement replied to CatieK's topic in General Students

   If every nurse that was a member of this site were to enter just one post on a really stupid thing they did as a new nurse or student you wouldn't have time to read through the endless pages of...

2. Certification after 15 years

   Waiting for Retirement replied to Uga4life98's topic in General Nursing

   This makes sense. A graduate fifteen years ago who was unable to pass the exam at that time doesn't seem a likely candidate to pass without repeating a significant amount of the coursework. I also...

3. Certification after 15 years

   Waiting for Retirement replied to Uga4life98's topic in General Nursing

   You should check with the Board of Nursing for Georgia. They're the ones you'd have to go through anyway, might as well get the info straight from the horse's mouth so to

4. How to deal with Nosy Co-Workers?

   Waiting for Retirement replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

   This looks like a plot from a junior high school sitcom. Whatever you tell someone, assume they tell everyone else. If you felt it was some kind of secret that you had a new car, then you told "3...

5. CNN: Abortion Performed on Wrong Woman

   Waiting for Retirement replied to Alex_RN's topic in Nursing News

   True, I definitely understand there are cultural differences. I am just incredulous that what seems to be a basic nursing or medical question---"who are you?" was left out of this equation. Standards...

6. When a Covid 19 vaccine becomes available, will it be absolutely mandatory for healthcare staff?

   Waiting for Retirement replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

   As one of several who have voiced concerns about the potential for unsafe or ineffective vaccines being presented as exactly the opposite, I can assure you I am not a conspiracy theorist. I am not...

7. Nurses Furious As Dentist to Lead Nursing Research Institute

   Waiting for Retirement replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

   In an administration that has left empty posts and questionably-qualified or unqualified interim personnel in place for years, this isn't surprising. Perhaps, in the new year, there will be an actual...

8. CNN: Abortion Performed on Wrong Woman

   Waiting for Retirement replied to Alex_RN's topic in Nursing News

   I realize this event happened in another country but isn't it a basic thing for nurses and doctors everywhere to at least ask a person his or her name?? One question would have prevented this. One...

9. Medication error wrong patient

   Waiting for Retirement replied to Student Rpn's topic in General Nursing

   Someone told me a long time ago that if you hear any nurse bragging that she's never made a medication error she's either lying or just too stupid to know the difference. Mistakes happen. Haven't...

10. When a Covid 19 vaccine becomes available, will it be absolutely mandatory for healthcare staff?

    Waiting for Retirement replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't believe a vaccine will be available to a majority of Americans while the current administration is still in power, that'll end in 7 months. I believe when it eventually does become available...

11. Is now a good time to go into nursing? I would be leaving my well paying career to pursue this

    Waiting for Retirement replied to Divalish918's topic in General Students

    You aren't thrilled with your current career, so naturally you are looking for something that will thrill you. Bear in mind that nursing is not a guarantee or even a strong likelihood of being...

12. NCLEX Repeater

    Waiting for Retirement replied to smmorgan1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    And this is where I completely suspend any belief in this being a real situation. Someone asked you, knowing you are in Florida, what program you attended. You said "Broward College". Then you were...

13. NCLEX Repeater

    Waiting for Retirement replied to smmorgan1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've struggled with this too. Looking at this sensibly would mean that this can't be real, it's too absurd of a story. And then I think who has the time or patience or sheer uselessness in life to...

14. NCLEX Repeater

    Waiting for Retirement replied to smmorgan1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sianee told us about having failed this test for the 21st time last Summer. So this is at least 22 times. The advice you are giving plus much more has been given many times already. She or he...

15. This is just like flu

    Hi, you quoted me, but I was quoting Emergent; it wasn't me who made that original statement, just clarifying
