Don't get me started on Nurses wrongly using FLMA....

I finally passed after failing twice. I swear by Saunders, do the CD every day there are over 1000 questions, do them over and over and i love that it gave me feedback, as to why i picked the wrong question. I swear It helped me pass my third time, I was also devastated telling people I failed because I was an LPN at the time for 4 years. NO what? Screw what other people think just try your best and do NOT listen to gossipy negative people. If you passed your nursing classes you can surely pass the NCLEX. Study Saunders over and over again, Do everything on the disk and the book. Good luck to you......

If you are having anxiety already, you might regret it. Being a nurse is very stressfull.

Yes........I said it........

Thanks for the hot tip, I can not wait to watch it!!

I work 6 12 hour shifts in one week, and have the next whole week off...... I am lucky.... My kids are grown up so I can (Do what I want)...

OMG find another job. I hated my previous job and thought that, this is life in nursing. I found another job and I love it. Please do not give up after all of your hard work. You do not have to like miserable, obese people for nursing. I hope the person that posted that has 10 very obese people that she has to shower "as a nurse" and then get back with me......

On my 12 hour work day, I do not get paid for 30 minutes, so you can bet I will take a refresher nap... It does the world of good.

OMG sick to my stomach, that in this day and age people are still acting like idiots!!

I am sad that you feel "stuck". Please pick another career soon, because if I were in long term care and you were taking care of me under your own duress, I would not be happy.

Go into patient room, two cups, one normal saline to cleanse a wound and the second tap water for taking meds. Patient states " this water is really salty tasting" ........ nough said.... Thank goodness did not have potassium issues..

I work 12 houer shifts, mon, tues, wed, fri, sat and sun. I have the following week off. One week on and one week off. I am so lucky!! I really do not feel burnt out on the weeks that I work. Life is what you make of it. I can have someome dying, someone with COP struggling to breath, ect.... all in one nights shift. All that I can say again is that your world is what you make it.

Right!!!!!!!!! Mind your own business..... What kind of person would look up that information??? How about volunteer your time instead of getting into your co workers business??

Hats off to long care nurses as well. They have up to 30 patients sometimes, and have to be watched constantly and many are a full code and crash constantly. Hats off to every nurse who actually takes care of patients.......

I live in Gaylord Michigan, and I had a boss that would roll her eyes at me and be rude and disrespectful and NEVER ever work the floor. But she was sure quick to criticize me at every instance that she could. I now work at another facility in Gaylord that is a ventilator unit. My new boss, works the floor a few times a month, and every time she writes a note, she always ends it with "thanks for all of the work that you do"... She is awesome, I had only worked at one facility before this and thought how horrible nursing was, but then I found a bit of heaven with awesome co-workers who were helpful. I am so darn LUCKY!!
