    caliotter3 replied to candacebrown's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If your husband graduated from a TX nursing school they probably will refuse to provide his paperwork to test in another state. I know somebody who was held up in testing (for another reason), and...

    Pt chokes and turns blue, nurse ignores and calls 911

    caliotter3 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    DePaul's MENP... so what's the title you graduate with?

    caliotter3 replied to gonz.jpg's topic in School, College Programs

    And the same title, Registered Nurse, as those few and far between graduates of diploma nursing programs who pass NCLEX-RN. More than likely, though, a difference might be found in the diploma...

    Gullible?

    caliotter3 replied to NightRNDayInstructor's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Decades ago I got my care plan poop from a care plan book, so I don't see any difference in using a fellow student as a resource over using a book. As long as the info is there, I would not be...

    Help I'm failing Anatomy for a 2nd time?

    caliotter3 replied to candicethacker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    RN/LPN advice

    caliotter3 replied to Mikayla Smith's topic in Nursing Career

    Frankly I don’t see how working as an LPN could be construed to be any easier or less stressful than working as an RN. Licensed nurse is licensed nurse when something goes wrong and the honchos are...

    Didn't take first year of nursing seriously

    caliotter3 replied to sky13's topic in General Students

    caliotter3 replied to HopefulRN4ever's topic in Home Health

    caliotter3 replied to momma0f3's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Coworker said it only took a few days to process. They worked for a few days without a valid license, and the employer did not even notice as they didn't remind her to renew anyway. When I worked in...

    Getting Hired After Being Fired

    caliotter3 replied to Dani_Sanchez777's topic in Nursing Career

    caliotter3 replied to nursex23's topic in General Nursing
