1. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

   SAC101 replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

   I had no idea a bra was such a big thing!

2. Doctors never sign Verbal or Phone Orders

   SAC101 replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in General Nursing

   Resigning may not be your best option. Just make sure you do proper documentation whenever you receive telephone orders. You never know the hospital next door may just have the same doctors practicing there. Are you going to quit again?

3. ADN or BSN

   SAC101 replied to LV2BME's topic in General Nursing

   If your ADN program is at a community college and way cheaper, then go for it. You will save yourself tons of money in student loans. After getting your RN you'll certainly be able to pay for two more semesters for your BSN out of your decent RN sala...

4. Writing Dean of Nursing.........

   SAC101 replied to StressQT23's topic in General Nursing

   I agree that you should concentrate on taking the NCLEX and then concentrate on the letter. If I were you I would focus on what is distracting me from passing the NCLEX. It could be the experience you had in school. Write the dean about it so it can ...

   90 days prior to finishing your program is good time. Talk to your International Coordinator for further advice. Key is: It has to be done before you graduate.

7. International nursing students in the US

   SAC101 replied to suzanne4's topic in Immigration

   Let me clarify my earlier posting that is said NOT to be "enirely true". When I say it is NOT a smart move for an employer to petition for you, as an F-1, when retrogression is in place. I mean just that. NOT SMART. That does no mean you can't do it ...

   SAC101 replied to suzanne4's topic in Immigration

   Your last concern first:You are eligible for 12 months of OPT for each higher level of education attained. That is you may apply for OPT after your ADN, and later after your BSN, and so on. As for your first concern: It is NOT a smart move to have an...

   SAC101 replied to giddygirl's topic in Texas

   For some reason it seems like there is like nobody from SA on this board. I have asked questions before and gotten 0 replies. Best of luck. Amy You are not alone. I am from SA too.

10. Nurses not following doctors orders

    SAC101 replied to platon20's topic in General Nursing

    Couldn't agree with you more. Some orders are quite silly. SCDs for a patient who goes out to smoke every hour? Some doctors' orders are so rehersed. You know if Dr.123 is on the phone for orders that he is going to order: VS Qshift, strict I/Os, CBC...

11. NCLEX to be scrapped???

    SAC101 replied to Texas Tom's topic in General Nursing

    Passing the NCLEX exam gives a sense of accomplishment. I can't imagine nursing without this exam. The current information I am aware of is that The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) voted at its December 5-6, 2006 meeting to raise ...

12. FELLOW Nurses please help with this dilema. I am so upset!

    SAC101 replied to sweetnurse2006's topic in General Nursing

    Your age indicate that you are still quite young. Why not relocate to some place with better opportunities? Some doors close up for a purpose.

14. International nursing students in the US

    SAC101 replied to suzanne4's topic in Immigration

    Just a clarification on the F-1 student status: When you enter the US on a student visa or when you change your status to F-1 from the U.S, you are usually admitted for the duration of your student status. That means your departure date will indicate...
