  1. Need help committing a family member

    algebra_demystified replied to TraumaNurseRN's topic in Psychiatric

    It sounds to me like your sister needs

  2. How many of us work on RN only units?

    algebra_demystified replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

  3. Becoming a nurse vs. becoming a doctor

    algebra_demystified replied to sam3992's topic in General Nursing

    As with anything in life, reach as high as you can. We need nurses, and we need doctors,

  4. What's the "real deal" on these Carribean Medical Schools?

    algebra_demystified replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    You know what they call somebody who graduated at the bottom of his class from a Caribbean medical school?

  5. I'm disappointed tonight.

    algebra_demystified posted a topic in General Nursing

    A very basic aspect of care was very callously ignored by a bunch of nurses. I would like to vent about the case, but I don't want to say anything that could be identified. Let's just say that more...

  6. Need info on what you LOVED about your pinning ceremony

    algebra_demystified replied to Lemur's topic in General Nursing

    I was president of my class, and what I loved most about my pinning ceremony is that I was out of state to attend my friend's wedding. I thought everything about the pinning ceremony was boring and...

  7. changing major from nursing to english lit?

    algebra_demystified replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    Don't follow your heart. Get an education that can provide you with a job and a steady income. Follow your heart AFTER you've provided for yourself. There's a million things you can do with a...

  8. I'm disappointed tonight.

    algebra_demystified replied to algebra_demystified's topic in General Nursing

    To give a little more detail, this patient went through at least four days of care in two different facilities. The report I was given and the charting that I saw led me to believe that she was...

  9. Negotiating pay for a new grad

    algebra_demystified posted a topic in General Nursing

    I got the call today that I'm going to get an offer. The bad news is they want to base my pay on what I made as an entry level medical worker. I'm working as an agency nurse right now and have pay...

  10. High pay, no degree required!

    algebra_demystified replied to love-d-OR's topic in General Nursing

    Who cares? A degree doesn't mean much to me these days. I did the certificate option, and could have gotten an Associates if I took a couple of classes in Multiculturalism and some other garbage....

  11. LPN's Getting No Respect

    algebra_demystified replied to jjrz1037's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm a brand new RN and take orders from the LPNs at work. The LPNs run the facility, and I'm very grateful for the hard work they do. Tonight, an LPN saved my butt. I was scheduled to pass meds on...

  12. Yes I got in now questions...

    algebra_demystified replied to TheguyRN's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I would pick up the pharmacology textbook and read up on the beta blockers. If you have beta blockers down cold before school starts you'll be ahead of the pack. Also, study the alzheimers meds and...

  13. Male Nursing Instructors

    algebra_demystified replied to gd1222's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I had good luck with the one male instructor I had in school. Thank you, Mr. Vale. He's one of the better instructors I've had. I think the best instructors I had were female, though. My Med/Surg...

  14. What to wear to a job interview

    algebra_demystified posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have an interview with a state run mental health facility tomorrow. What's the standard interview dress for that kind of place? I did my last interview in jeans, boots, and a polo

  15. student nurse

    algebra_demystified replied to leanne24's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think so. Doctors aren't expected to work as a nurse before they're

  16. Discrimination towards male students? Need advice.

    algebra_demystified replied to Dabuggy's topic in Men in Nursing

    I had one instructor who had it out for me from the beginning. I should have figured it out earlier, she has zero self confidence and low self-esteem, I'm a bull in a china shop. It was a bad...

  17. any ideas for a good nursing school/program?

    algebra_demystified replied to bch5002's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I don't think it matters much where you go. The only thing that would make me choose a particular school would be where they have their clinical rotations. Your best bet for a job as a new grad is...

  18. Suggested Study Habits

    algebra_demystified replied to Bo Shoi Ming's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My anatomy instructor let everybody in for every section. We had students sitting in front of the lecture hall, setting up folding chairs in the back, on both sides of the aisle, piled over the fire...

  19. Nursing school application problems

    algebra_demystified posted a topic in General Students

    Hi guys I'm writing a piece on applying to nursing school, and I wanted to see if you had any problems applying to schools. I had a few. One place required me to show up in person to submit my...

  20. Job search questions

    algebra_demystified posted a topic in General Nursing

    It looks like new-grad jobs are tough to come by in my area right now. It looks like the next new-grad class doesn't open up until February, so I have a little time to kill and a little rent to pay...

  21. Community College programs in California

    algebra_demystified replied to justastudent08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I found it to be incredibly frustrating to apply and get accepted to nursing school in southern california. They get so many applicants for every class that they can afford to drop a few along the...

  22. Should I keep my EMT license?

    algebra_demystified posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just got my RN license today, and moved from California to Oregon. I got my EMT license before the National Registry test was required, and when Oregon didn't recognize the National Registry. I...

  23. Saunders 4th Edition

    algebra_demystified replied to Dawn, RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've been using the Saunders book and have gotten around the 70% mark on their 100 question exams. I got a 925 on the HESI, so I was expecting to do a little better on the reviews. How did you guys...

  24. A friend of mine just lost it

    algebra_demystified posted a topic in Psychiatric

    He called me twice yesterday. The first time, he sounded OK if a little off. A couple hours later, he called back, and this time he sounded like he was in full meltdown. He said the government, a...

  25. A friend of mine just lost it

    algebra_demystified replied to algebra_demystified's topic in Psychiatric
