  1. Nervous about graduating

    NoMoreStudying replied to Mommy TeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    I felt the same way (I graduated this May, had great grades, was told I'd be good.) And one of the nurses I work with, who wasn't even one I looked up to (although I did like her) told me "You know...

  2. Disney Culture in Hospitals

    NoMoreStudying replied to fedupnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone knows Disney moms are murdered in the first 5 minutes on screen. Is that the message we want to convey? Or maybe you could start talking to all of your patients in "whale," ;like Dory in...

  3. a little help please?

    NoMoreStudying replied to balutboi's topic in General Nursing

    You only get to be young, follow your dreams and passions once. It may not be your final course, but I'm all for trying it. I do love nursing (It's my first year ), but it's my second career. My...

  4. Seattle areas

    NoMoreStudying posted a topic in Washington Nursing

    DH is in Seattle and seems to have fallen in love with it. Help me out here, what is the tri-city area? How close are they of a drive? What are considered the nice areas of Seattle and the suburbs to...

  5. do physical therapists make more money than RNs?

    NoMoreStudying replied to nurse~ashley's topic in General Nursing

    Having a higher education does NOT equal a higher salary in the rest of the world. It's not as if you earn a Masters and you're job offers you a raise. You usually need to apply for a higher...

  6. need information on Columbia, Md area

    NoMoreStudying replied to MOM/RN2BE's topic in Maryland Nursing

    It's $22.50 for a new grad. I live in Columbia. It is very nice, with the exception of a few neighborhoods. It is very expensive, though. I couldn't afford our house on my own. There are a lot...

  7. Poll for those who have already taken NCLEX..

    NoMoreStudying replied to lpn2rnMay2005's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    How long did I study? 3 weeks, from the time I scheduled until the date of the exam. But I probably only studied 2-2.5 of those weeks. Anywhere from 50-100 questions most days. I did a marathon 400...

  9. Help me understand this

    NoMoreStudying posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've read everything about the NCLEX and I understand it. But not totally. I see how you can pass in anywhere from 75-265 q's. It goes until you prove you are consistentyl above the level of...

    NoMoreStudying replied to NoMoreStudying's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  12. Please help! Just took NCLEX and don't really know how I feel about it?!!

    NoMoreStudying replied to bray'smom's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If it makes you feel better, I had 75 this morning and I don't feel sure about it either. I mean, statistics are on our side. But I didn't feel confident with many of my answers. It's just the way...

  13. Something funny NS grads can enjoy

    NoMoreStudying replied to RNsRWe's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Reminds me of a patient's friend the other week. Patient is in abdominal pain, young girl, probably constipated. Doc has seen her, still writing orders for CT and meds. Not yet the top of the RN's...

  14. Help me understand this

    NoMoreStudying replied to NoMoreStudying's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I understand you can pass at 265. It's just that failing at 265 makes more sense than, say, failing at 176. How does the algorithm decide that you are in no way capable of bringing your level up to...

  15. Is ER nursing Floor nursing???

  16. School loans and debt, how much are you in the hole?

    NoMoreStudying replied to Lurksalot's topic in General Nursing

    Financial aid falls into both Merit- and Need-based. I've never been able to show a financial "need" (although I certainly ate enough ramen and rice to get by) but I had scholarships and grants all...

  17. Anyone worked at St.Agnes?

    NoMoreStudying replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I know people that did that program there and enjoyed it. Although, I don't know any details about placement. It seems people either love or hate that

  18. How to answer ml questions?

  19. Urban legends in nursing

    NoMoreStudying replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    What about all of the orangjello and lemonjello's running around? Maybe there is one or two in this world. Maybe. But people are always claiming to have met one which always strikes me as odd b/c...

  20. Doula Thoughts on L&D (long)

    NoMoreStudying replied to futureTMA's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I didn't realize people still taught to push like a BM. I learned that you breathe or pant through the push, even in a prepared childbirth class taught by the hospital. Basically, breathing while...

  21. Doula Thoughts on L&D (long)

    NoMoreStudying replied to futureTMA's topic in Ob/Gyn

    2 thoughts. PulseOx is about the hemeglobin in whole blood in the periphery. You administer O2 based on signs and symptoms, not on a measurement. A doula should recognize the importance of using...

  22. april 2 is daylight saving time...love or hate

    NoMoreStudying replied to ak47m203's topic in General Nursing

    So if I get off at 330am tonight, am I leaving when the clock says 330 and working and hour less than normal? I never thought about this. I only wish I knew when DST was coming up, more than a day...

  23. ethnic question

    NoMoreStudying replied to firstclass's topic in General Nursing

    I've become pretty good at knowing whether people are simply curious or prying. And yes, plenty of nosy, prying people are still out there. If I can tell it will lead the conversation in a bad...

  24. Do you see a problem with this?

    NoMoreStudying replied to DallasRN's topic in General Nursing

    We're actually in near complete agreement. You just don't understand that the policy isn't written the way you are interpreting

  25. Do you see a problem with this?

    NoMoreStudying replied to DallasRN's topic in General Nursing

    First, having children at home and celebrating a holiday aren't even related. It's not a skill or an ability to spend the holiday w/ or w/o you family. But back to a legitimate argument, I do agree...
