    Conqueror+ replied to Aik0's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  5. CNA Bonus Plan

    Conqueror+ replied to Mariesmith's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The only sytem that I have seen work is an attendance bonus. It was paid monthly and there were two tiers. I do not remember the exact amount but I think it was $100 if no absences and an additional...

  6. Fired for being sick.

    Conqueror+ replied to cosmobella20's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It is standard in my area to have a no call out in the first 90 days policy. Having worked as a manager I think it can be hard for staff to see your side. If I have someone that I think is going to be...

    Conqueror+ replied to SFnursetobe12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I do 45 on/15 off when studying. I should mention that my attention span is somewhat short though. During those 15 minutes I walk, post on AN, get some water etc..If I am exhausted it becomes 20 on 10...

  11. Preceptor gifts

    Conqueror+ replied to littlepeopleRNICU's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I shop online for a lot of my gun accessories. A gift certificate to one of those sites would allow him to choose whatever he wants. I have always given things like engraved pens etc. but the other...

  14. Why do you wear a white coat? (if you indeed do)

    Conqueror+ replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Perhaps I am sentimental because I come from a family of nurses but I have always loved the white coats, nursing caps, and comfy work shoes with the little blue heart on the heel.

  15. Dress Codes for School

    Conqueror+ replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I was not recounting a conversation simply stating some opinions on modesty held by women that I know and love. And no, boys dont wear a @#$% uniform because as hard as society is trying to make it...

  16. Dress Codes for School

  17. Should I leave this racist town?

    Conqueror+ replied to ChutneyFries's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  20. Can they do this to me?????

    Conqueror+ replied to Nurse_Lightning's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I feel that the OP is being vague about the "crime". Also, I thought about it from the preceptors POV. If the police showed up looking for my preceptee on their first day I would take it as a huge red...

  21. How to tell if your school sucks

    Conqueror+ replied to synaptic's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  22. How to tell if your school sucks

    Conqueror+ replied to synaptic's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This thread reminds me of a nurse I work with. She admitted to just doing enough to pass in her BSN program because she thought she would never want an advanced degree. Three years later she realized...

  24. Would you take NCLEX-RN when 40 weeks pregnant?

    Conqueror+ replied to Hallgor's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No I would not. I would have the baby and recover so that I can truly focus on the exam. Pregnancy is a bit of a wild card no matter how they try to paint it sometimes. Would you want to go into labor...

  25. Nursing is a passion?

    Conqueror+ replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    While I am not directing this at the OP because I do not know him personally, I believe that this attitude accounts for the general decline in nurses attitudes towards their work and by extension,...
