  1. Would love your opinion on this project to help student nurses!

    Waiting for Retirement replied to sassRN117's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see the usefulness of what you're proposing. How many hours someone else studied, whether they got XX number of questions or XXX number of questions and what their GPA was doesn't seem...

  2. Dayshift

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

    The answer they give you might not be an accurate reflection of how long it might actually be. For example, I worked on a unit that used seniority to determine schedule changes, not length of time on...

  3. NCLEX SHUTS OFF AT 75 ITEMS

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

    Whoa Nellie...I wrote what I do know and did not allude to being an expert. I did not take it you were either. So be it. I do take issue with this, what is bolded in your quote above: I did not...

  4. Questionnaire for Psychiatrist!

    Waiting for Retirement replied to Shabnam.Masroor's topic in General Students

    I would suspect you would have difficulty getting anyone who is qualified to answer your questions be willing to put their personal contact information on a public forum like this. You also might get...

  5. NCLEX SHUTS OFF AT 75 ITEMS

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

    I find this topic interesting. Since adaptive testing means, of course, that each test is individualized to the individual taking it, there can't be anyone "randomly selected" to receive any specific...

  6. No immunity after Hep B immunization?

    Waiting for Retirement replied to chernandez3841's topic in General Students

    It isn't that the immunity isn't retained, it's more likely that she or he didn't sero-convert in the first place. Or, as is the case sometimes, you do have antibodies present but not sufficient to...

  7. Social Media and Doxxing - Your Thoughts???

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

    I shudder to think what anyone from "the public" would think if they could be a fly on the wall of any break room of any nursing unit I've ever worked

  8. How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

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

    That's interesting and honestly refreshing. I haven't had that experience. For the most part I have found patients just wanting "a nurse" or "my nurse". It's good to know that some not only know...

  9. How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

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

    From what I can tell it is the norm for many/most hospitals to have staff wear plastic IDs that are larger than their name badge, that say "RN" or "LPN". I would rather it say just "NURSE" since...

  10. How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

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

    oh! that makes sense. I think I wasn't thinking it was a thread that the person who referenced it had posted in, or necessarily someone else int his thread, if I'm making sense. I'll try your...

  11. Social Media and Doxxing - Your Thoughts???

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

    I realize I'm showing my age a bit here but I don't understand the near-constant need for people to take pictures of themselves (or their food, or the grocery store line they are standing in, etc),...

  12. How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

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

    If you don't mind me asking, how do you go about finding a thread someone is referring to without a link? I used the search bar and entered a few key words, the only words that made sense for me to...

  13. Questionable actions that make you go hmm?

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

    Might still be too early on a Monday for me to figure out but what was diagnosis actually supposed to

  14. Running late?, during report stay on topic so I can go home!

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

  15. Service Dog

    Waiting for Retirement replied to HCA172002's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I don't know if it differs from state to state but I honestly can't imagine this working out in an acute hospital setting. I know there are laws to protect those with bonafide disabilities who...

  16. How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

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

    LOL, I want the BBQ designation!

  17. Slowing Down

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

    Perhaps telework for an insurance company, triage /phone work? I don't know much about it but I know others who have done this. The pace can be frantic mentally but not physically. Also employee...

  18. NCLEX SHUTS OFF AT 75 ITEMS

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

    thank you, this answered my question. It did seem strange to have some people take more questions than necessary, I wouldn't even guess at the reasoning behind it if it

  19. Running late?, during report stay on topic so I can go home!

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

    I don't care if she gets coffee. I care that she's already late and making ME later. I don't care that she doesn't want to start her shift....I want to END mine, and I'm entitled to do so after 12+...

  20. Running late?, during report stay on topic so I can go home!

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

    I think that's something that is hugely overlooked--nurses talk to each other! It's not a great big wide world of nursing, it's much smaller than they'd

  21. Running late?, during report stay on topic so I can go home!

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

    oh lord sing it! It's a sonogram now, it will be baby pictures before long and then whatever Darling is up to as he grows. Change the image so it works for two or three nurses with similarly-aged...

  22. Questionable actions that make you go hmm?

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

    and the infamous "clean-dry-and-intact" dressing/suture line no

  23. Questionable actions that make you go hmm?

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

    These are great! Here's mine: back in the day I took report on a surgical patient that was XX days post-op, should be getting discharged in a day, two at the most, but still seemed to have quite a lot...

  24. NCLEX SHUTS OFF AT 75 ITEMS

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

    How would anyone know this? If it's true that a random assortment of people will get 265 questions, how would anyone know if they had passed on the first 75? Or whether they needed all 265 in order...

  25. Can’t pass the NCLEX

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

    ok I took some time to read. While it's great for you that you passed, how does this help the person who started this thread, asking for
