Miss Chybil RN BSN, RN

After working my butt off for over three years for a two year degree, studying my head off to hopefully pass the NCLEX on Monday, and all the sacrifices me, my husband and the rest of my family have put in in order that I may become a nurse - includi...

Better to treat a person who is not in pain for pain, than to deny a patient who is in pain treatment. Kind of like the American justice system. Better a million guilty men go free than one innocent man be put to death.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but sickle cell disease is not a disease of chronic pain, but becomes acutely, extremely, and excruciatingly painful when in sickle cell crisis, usually due to dehydration. Am I right? AND, the disease primarily affects Afric...

I beginning to feel like the kid who never got picked for the team. I know there are people who have been looking much, much longer than I have for a job. So, I'm not trying to be whiney. I guess I am feeling a bit sorry for myself, though, and all t...

That's a short sighted thing to say. Are we back in the day when people needed to stay home and work on the farm, as opposed to going to school, because the family couldn't afford for them to get an education that "worn't gonna do nobody no good no w...

You can help her with some options, but it's her decision. Time is going to pass whether she's on the wait list, or not. If it were me, I'd get on it and then, as another poster stated, get my CNA. Add to that, what another poster said, submit my FAF...

Oh, it would be very hard to watch my classmates work as nurses while I had to continue working as a CNA. You put in all the same hard work they did to become an RN and being left out of the job would be very difficult to take even if intellectually ...

LOL! Luckily I'm not one of those people who vomit at the sound of someone vomiting. That would be rough!

People were made to get a little grossed out over blood and guts. That way we know, if something is bleeding or something sticking out from a place it's not supposed to, or has a hole in it that's not supposed to be there, there is something wrong. K...

Thanks, pererau! I sent you an email...

Kicking this thread. I just graduated in December and haven't had a single call back on any of my applications. I was hoping things would have started to turn around by now. I do notice a softening of some of the experience requirements on many jobs,...

Can you point me to the info on the Providence Health residency program? I'm not finding it. Also, I know this is an older thread, but I've written to the recruiter for the Franciscan Health System about their residency programs. I don't see any list...

I'm a grandmother, three times and I just graduated from nursing school. I would like to think American culture is a culture of liberation. Not always, but we try.

That's funny. My psych rotation was at the VA. Hated it - and I'm a veteran! So, more power to you. Rock on, Psych Nurse! Rock on!

I'm a native Arizonan and as others have said, scorpions are not a big deal. You'll find them mostly in new developments on the outskirts of the city mostly. You'll find snakes there, too. So, if you aren't into "roughing it" with the native creature...

ok, but just an fyi, netiquette says all caps is yelling and using red can and will be interpreted as anger. bold would be emphatic without yelling, as long as it's not over used. here's a little bit on using red: i added the red...

all of this red is hurting my ears... why so angry?

I don't see what the big brouhaha is all about. The facility has a budget to hire an LPN. An RN applies for the job. The facility says, "I can only pay you what I would pay an LPN. Do you still want the job?" The OP says, "Yes." This isn't a scope of...

And so this is how it begins...

Well, he's probably dead by now from all that smoking - or, maybe somebody kicked him in the head. Ok. That was mean. Whatever. I'm sure he's dead. If not, he should be. What a jerk.

If you want to do it, you will. Good luck and have fun!

I have three more shifts until the end of my preceptorship in Neuro ICU. It's been an amazing experience. I graduate on December 12th, as well. I can't believe it's almost over. I never thought the day would come... Congratulations, Everybody! :ball...

I've seen every episode of Trauma: Life in the ER! I've wondered the same thing. Sometimes it seems there is someone documenting, but I don't know. I'm anxious to hear the answer. I wish there were more "Trauma..." shows being made, but they stoppe...

It's really none of your business what she knows and doesn't know. She asked you a question. You knew the answer. Big deal. I bet you she knows something you don't. You might want to get over yourself. I guarantee you one day in clinical, or on ...
