  1. Quit during orientation

    FlyingScot replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    The issue with the OP is the author's disdain for the less glamorous aspects of nursing, his feeling that having done it in class he has nothing else to learn, that he expected to be having clinical...

    FlyingScot replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  3. Floor to ED transition

    FlyingScot replied to guest901464's topic in Emergency

    I think one of the biggest challenges is the transition from a "head to toe" assessment to the ED "focused assessment". In general in the emergency department we just don't do head to toes. There...

  7. I'm a sexless nurse

    FlyingScot replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I have read. And re-read. And re-read the OP. I'm just not getting the open hostility towards him. I think in his situation I might feel the same. Unlike the US, he's in a country where male nurses...

  8. I'm a sexless nurse

    FlyingScot replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    The ONE episode I saw certainly does!!!

  9. I'm a sexless nurse

    FlyingScot replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    You know Farawyn I think you just asked, inadvertently, what the OP was asking in the first place. Only you said it

  10. Head to Toe Red Scrubs

    FlyingScot replied to Adele_Michal7's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    We have an entire university school of nursing that wears red scrubs. Not only that they are, for the most part, attractive young ladies. Maybe we should let the dean of nursing know that they might...

  11. Unplanned extubation while on orientation

    FlyingScot replied to tictac's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Factoring that the tube was in correct placement on the previous X-ray 1.5 cm is a HUGE discrepancy in a baby. Just turning his head could have extubated

  12. I'm a sexless nurse

    FlyingScot replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I believe he clarified this earlier. He was accidently placed in this position as a new grad 23 years ago due to an androgenous name. I do not think he is still working

  14. 50-60 SATA questions on NCLEX??

    FlyingScot replied to monica842's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Actually the "trick" at the time was if you received a certified letter then you had failed. If it was a thick brown mailer you passed. The reason for the certified letter was at the time we could...

  15. I'm a sexless nurse

    FlyingScot replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I think some of the posters are being a little hard on the OP. I think his questions are reasonable and thought provoking. I didn't get from him any sense that he was some kind of "perv". I appreciate...

  16. 50-60 SATA questions on NCLEX??

    FlyingScot replied to monica842's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Don't feel silly. When I took my boards (pre-NCLEX, two day exam) and we had to wait 6 weeks for the results I swore if I didn't pass I was giving up on nursing and becoming a hooker. Now that's being...

  17. Why PVT is UNRELIABLE. Please read.

    FlyingScot replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes but for the ones it DID NOT work for think of the pain it caused. Just because it works for some does not mean it works for all. People need to stop saying it's accurate because it. just.

  18. Just got fired from my first real job as an lpn and need some advice

  19. 50-60 SATA questions on NCLEX??

    FlyingScot replied to monica842's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No. It isn't 100% accurate even after 24 hours although it is more likely to be correct then. Good on you for patiently waiting. Why risk $200? Think of all the better things you can do with that...

  20. Quit during orientation

    FlyingScot replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-student/why-become-a-993984.html#post8545291 I think the OP found the "real world" not to her
