  1. Am I the only one who finds this disrespectful?

    destiny5 replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    How about this. Let us as nurses be "patient advocates"-- That means getting taxi vouchers & whatever else our patients require. I don't know everyone on welfares situation but I do know a few...

  2. Best Basic Nursing Text

    destiny5 replied to Fred Hawley's topic in General Nursing

    I would suggest that you visit your local colleges bookstores. That way you can skim through the books and decide which one(s) you like the best. That way you know you are getting up to date...

  3. Am I the only one who finds this disrespectful?

    destiny5 replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Right On Sharon H--- I just finished nursing school but while in school I received Medicaid benefits and Food Stamps. I NEVER gave the snobby cashier at the grocery store or the snobby nurse in the...

  4. Failed NCLEX 1st time, can I still work as a GN?

    destiny5 replied to trekjudy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    At my hospital there are a few people who work as GN's that have failed the test at least once. One person I know who has failed two or three times got bumped down to CNA. Talk to your Director,...

  5. Stop #@$%!* Thief!!!

    destiny5 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    It really saddens me that this has happened. It fosters a climate of mistrust among staff and between staff and residents. I pray that the situation is resolved sooon. Sometimes the thief ends up...

  6. Stop #@$%!* Thief!!!

  8. So annoying when students ask your grade

    destiny5 replied to luv2shopp85's topic in General Students

    Agreed. There are all kinds. Where I'm from though, I'll say that there is a (small club) of snobby overachievers. I know because I could have been in it-- since my GPA is 3.5 (Honor graduate...

    destiny5 replied to luv2shopp85's topic in General Students

    There are times when people share grades to help eachother, or because they are excited & there are also times when they share to rub your nose in it and to let you know that they are head and...

  10. TEAS Test--Study Buddy

    I took the TEAS and I did very well on it. Our cutoff for science was 60 I scored 75 on that portion. Best study advice GET THE ATI TEAS STUDY GUIDE.--#2 GUESS--GUESS---GUESS. That's what I did. I...

  11. Ivy Tech Vs. Brown Mackie?

    destiny5 replied to LPNMOM2B's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Ivy Tech is an excellent school. Starting in Jan 07 they are combining the LPN and ASN students. The entrance requirements are English, A&P I&II, and Psychology. They take your grade...

  12. Worried about the NCLEX

    destiny5 replied to iceq454's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I got several meds that I had NEVER heard of before, & tons, tons, tons, of priority questions. 4 patients with 4 different issues & vitals---who do you see 1st. It was nothing like I...

    destiny5 replied to luv2shopp85's topic in General Students

    Yea, exactly,---- A few weeks ago I took the teas test to get into the LPN transition to RN program. Anyway there was this girl there who was trying to get into the same program. We finished about...

  14. Planning our future and outsourcing

    destiny5 replied to Mudwoman's topic in General Nursing

    WOW is all I can say as a new nurse.--- I think it's unfair that jobs are outsourced (I think a certain percentage should have to stay in the USA) Ok- it may cost less to get procedures done in India...

  15. How to ask manager for different preceptor...

    destiny5 replied to ZootRN's topic in General Nursing

    If you are not perceived in a good light by others & you know it's not something you've done personally to anyone, then it's probably your preceptor talking about you/ & who are they going...

  16. ashamed today

    destiny5 replied to susiegirl's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that it can become uncomfortable--if you let it. Try to ignore it or go find something to do (i'm sure it won't be that hard) when they start up. I don't think complaining will...

    destiny5 replied to luv2shopp85's topic in General Students

  18. So annoying when students ask your grade

    destiny5 replied to luv2shopp85's topic in General Students

    That's great but i'ts not the case everywhere. I think it has something to do with fighting for (in some cases) 30 slots with 300 applicants. Some people take that mentality into the program, &...

  19. Trouble Makers

    destiny5 replied to NurseyPoo's topic in General Nursing

    Or everytime someone gets in your face to gossip you could interrupt them and ask for HELP. That'll get them out of your face and probably keep them

    destiny5 replied to Galvatron1's topic in General Nursing

    In my perfect world..my hospital has uniforms available, private showers for employees,a gym, saunas & jacuzzi's. Our patients think it's a hotel why can't we? :lol2:

  21. So annoying when students ask your grade

    destiny5 replied to luv2shopp85's topic in General Students

    It's been my experience that when someone asks how I did on an exam it's because they did extremely well & want to brag (oops..share). So here's what I do. I tell them what I got & then I...

    destiny5 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am sooo happy. I got my results today for the NCLEX-PN. When I took the exam, I thought it was sooo hard. I really don't think the study guides helped me much on the exam. I do however, feel that...

  23. Crocs!

    destiny5 replied to mel1977's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I got the $3.99 clearance version at Family Dollar. Commuter, I think we're on to something.-- The cheaper versions are just as goood. Now, if I could only find

  24. What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    destiny5 replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    Here's a BIG problem. The nurses in the other thread "REALIZED" their mistakes & will likely learn from them. What about the seemingly "clueless" nurses in this thread. Were they corrected? I...
