  1. credit by examination

    Waiting for Retirement replied to Older Male LPN's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure I understand this exactly. You paid a company that offers study tools, guidance to better prepare for exams, I think that much is clear, and you paid in advance. After that I'm a little...

  2. To kill or not to kill... another person dream?

    Waiting for Retirement replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    OMG, have read through this and am shocked at the disregard for human life/safety that this girl exhibited. I do wonder something, though, you said that legally at most it is assault/grievous bodily...

  3. Feel like an incompetent nurse

    Waiting for Retirement replied to PinkRose34's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly you just sound new, inexperienced in the area in which you work now. I think it's healthy to be cautious and concerned about whether you are doing well or not. Frankly it's people who are...

  4. New Ohio law would let families put cameras in nursing home rooms

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

    Interesting perspective! And an excellent one, thank

  5. Doctors offended by TV show about nurses

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

    You mean in your hospital the surgeon isn't sitting for hours at the bedside waiting for their patient to awake? They aren't changing routine IVFs and grabbing meds to administer that they didn't...

  6. New Ohio law would let families put cameras in nursing home rooms

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

    I believe there is a significant difference between police wearing body cams when approaching someone and there is ZERO expectation of privacy, and a patient who is having a bowel movement cleaned on...

  7. Am I good enough?

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

    I'm imagining you telling your story to me, sitting in a chair in front of me, because I'm looking for a new hire. And all I can think of is how extremely risky you sound. Your work history is...

  8. Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

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

    literally made me LOL! My smile for the morning thanks

  9. PASSED NURSING SCHOOL!!

    Waiting for Retirement replied to LN95's topic in General Students

    Congratulations to you!! It's a lovely photo. Bask in the glow of graduation for a bit, and then get studying for the NCLEX

  10. Was RN school easy for you?

    Waiting for Retirement replied to EV1518's topic in General Students

    The part I bolded, this is unfortunate. It's obviously not the case with all schools or even most schools; I'd think it would be the low minority that are like this. You either did learn more than...

  11. Unfair Tests?

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

    One of two things is happening here. Either your concept-based curriculum has covered a topic and you are expected to understand the concept well enough to correctly answer questions or you have NOT...

  12. New job and asking for time off

    Waiting for Retirement replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    I have never said during an interview that I had specific dates I needed off in the event I was hired. I have said upon hire that I had a specific date/dates that I must have off, but would be happy...

  13. What is night shift actually like?

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

    I think it's been pretty much said already, but I have a little time to kill so I'll add my two cents! My experience when I worked night shift was that I had as much work as daytime nurses did but...

  14. Is it outside the scope of practice for an RN to tell another RN to call 911?

    Waiting for Retirement replied to Guest688994's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be willing to bet that if your employer has this as a policy they have other equally absurd or dangerous policies in place. Consider carefully whether you want to continue to be in situations...

  15. Student in Arizona but need to be licensed in DC

    Waiting for Retirement replied to NewNurseCJS1997's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm pretty sure you can't get a date scheduled for your exam until the state you want to be licensed in issues you an authorization to test (ATT). And they won't give you that until they have...

  16. Dilemma! Help please!!

    Waiting for Retirement replied to Jordan1927's topic in General Students

    I "grew up" with the expectation that new grads must start in Med-Surg to get enough experience to move into any specialty. And for the most part I think it still holds true. Generally speaking it...

  17. I need help--either NCLEX tutor or a nursing school review!

    Waiting for Retirement replied to hydra10134's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This thread was posted 5 years and 3 months ago. I would hope by now she or he is a nurse or moved

  18. bring back diploma they can function on graduation

    Waiting for Retirement replied to Susan Boff's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Well...I have to disagree. I don't believe it's perception when the typical diploma program of yesteryear had students working daily in the hospital, including summers, doing clinical work for three...

  19. bring back diploma they can function on graduation

    Waiting for Retirement replied to Susan Boff's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't believe anyone would argue that college-educated nurses have less clinical time under their belts prior to graduation than their diploma school peers. However much more is expected of today's...

  20. Huddle being used as a disciplinary tool

    Waiting for Retirement replied to Zay's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think the others have already put out there that the situation as you described it was inappropriate. Huddles, or staff meetings, are a great way to touch base on quick educational opportunities...

  21. Overturning a grade is it possible?

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

    Seems to me the most credible source for this would be an attorney who has had experience in this area. And I imagine it would be a rarity; finding an attorney with experience is likely finding one...

  22. Flying out to NYC for NCLEX

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

    If you don't mind me asking, why did you apply to New York for the NCLEX exam if you really want to work in Pennsylvania? Wouldn't that have made the most sense, or is it a more complicated...

  23. Discussing salary with co workers

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

    I don't know if this is a generational thing or a cultural thing or what, but I have NEVER discussed salary with colleagues. Other than the good-natured gripe about none of us getting paid enough to...

  24. Dayshift

    Waiting for Retirement replied to tama18's topic in General Nursing

    If I only had one day off in between shifts I kept the same nighttime routine. That meant doing laundry and grocery shopping at 3am LOL but it worked. If I had two or more days off in a row I would...

  25. NCLEX in FL/Multiple Attempts

    Waiting for Retirement replied to heyhey22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would ask the Board of Nursing for Florida if you have a wait time or a certain amount of experience required before transferring a license from another state to Florida. If there isn't and you can...
