  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

    Waiting for Retirement replied to Guest219794's topic in Disaster Preparation

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

  16. How to properly inject your lungs with Lysol

    Waiting for Retirement replied to eerrmm's topic in Disaster Preparation

    1. The context was preserved, his prattling was not at all reported out of context, I watched that briefing myself. He later doubled down on that, ensuring that we all got the context correct; he even...

  17. How to properly inject your lungs with Lysol

    Waiting for Retirement replied to eerrmm's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I miss having a president who did NOT require a team of translators and a full-time damage mitigation posse every time he opened his mouth, because he could not be trusted to speak coherently....

  18. This is just like flu

    Waiting for Retirement replied to Guest219794's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Taking just a moment to interject here that, as a mother of two otherwise-healthy, non-compromised 20-somethings, I believe I am appropriately worried. Worried that should they contract this disease,...

  19. Am sadly just putting this out there - Overwhelming Covid-19 Death Statistics

    Waiting for Retirement replied to amoLucia's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As of this morning (7am) there have been 14,347 deaths in my home state according to the most recent news release. I am having a hard time wrapping my brain around that number. That is the population...

  20. Are Big City Hospitals Really Getting Hit With COVID-19 Pts?

    Waiting for Retirement replied to EPS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have to learn to be more cynical. On message boards at

  21. Are Big City Hospitals Really Getting Hit With COVID-19 Pts?

    Waiting for Retirement replied to EPS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    OMG, never occurred to me that this might be a creative writer looking for book material! But you may be on to

  22. Are Big City Hospitals Really Getting Hit With COVID-19 Pts?

    Waiting for Retirement replied to EPS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I considered asking OP to ask her to volunteer in the hardest hit areas so she can get that "I seen it with my own eyes" viewpoint,

  23. Are Big City Hospitals Really Getting Hit With COVID-19 Pts?

    Waiting for Retirement replied to EPS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And now to answer the question originally asked, I'll answer your question with a question, starting with facts: there are over TWELVE THOUSAND PEOPLE dead in my state, ALL who are linked to COVID-19....

  24. Are Big City Hospitals Really Getting Hit With COVID-19 Pts?

    Waiting for Retirement replied to EPS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    To the OP-- certainly you must realize that whenever someone says something offensive to another person, following up the offensive statement with "No offense, Dude", the person who is listening IS...

  25. Dealing with panicking co-workers

    Waiting for Retirement replied to Peditra's topic in Disaster Preparation

    First thing I thought of actually! And right after that, the scene in Moonstruck where Nicholas Cage tells Cher he loves her, and she smacks him --TWICE--and says "Snap out of it!!" Too much
