  1. (8/29) This week, I have learned......

    FlyingScot replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I kind of like that name but then I'm severely

  2. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    FlyingScot replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    OMG when did you graduate nursing school? In the 1800s? FTR, I work closely with an infectious disease doctor in a large renowned university medical center with a top 10 certified cancer center. I...

  3. PVT: Question of Character?

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

    That's a good question. For time saving I'd say the vast majority of us chart after we have finished all the tasks for a patient due at that time. Of course it's understood that you didn't do...

  4. PVT: Question of Character?

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

    Sometimes it's hard to tell if it's good sarcastic or nasty sarcastic. I'll give you the benefit of the

  5. PVT: Question of Character?

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

    Hey now, you asked a question. I answered it honestly. No need to get

  6. PVT: Question of Character?

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

    Well, technically if you chart that you DID it at 0403 but you did it at 0355 then yes it would be

  7. Did the PVT trick and paid the 200

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

    We waited 6-8 weeks before computerized testing. None of us

  8. Did the PVT trick and paid the 200

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

    We don't know. Nobody knows. That's why we keep telling you guys to stop doing the

  9. Did the PVT trick and paid the 200

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

    No. Nobody can tell you if you failed. We just

  10. PVT: Question of Character?

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

    I don't think you fall into the category that's being discussed as you put correct info in and were ready to pay the $200 dollars if needed. It's the people "gaming" the system that are raising the...

  11. Nursing Instructors Would Rather see You Fail than Succeed

    FlyingScot replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    Are you sure the problem is the nursing

  12. Taking the NCLEX multiple times

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

    For some reason the quote button is not working but this is from MrCAPR "You cannot be giving opinions on what a BON should or shouldn't do with the ones who fail their exam that is not your job!...

  13. What do you say to family when a patient has died?

    FlyingScot replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I was going to give a smart-ass answer but when I read your post I decided to take the high road. Most of the time I think the best thing to say is...nothing (beyond "I'm sorry"). Be present for them,...

  14. Walking from school at night with deer and no street lamps?

    FlyingScot replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in General Students

    All kidding and story-telling aside I agree with the poster who sugested a bike. Although I really cannot imagine your professor holding you hostage for the last 5 minutes of your class causing you to...

  15. Walking from school at night with deer and no street lamps?

    FlyingScot replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in General Students

    We had one jump into the side of our MICU. Can you imagine the sight as we pulled into the sending hospital's ambulance bay with an enormous dent in the box and tons of blood and fur smeared all down...

  16. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    FlyingScot replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I cannot believe you posted this nonsense and actually put your real name to

  17. I paid 200 dollars for pvt

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

    No it's not unfair. People should just act like grownups and STOP doing the stupid PVT. Then there wouldn't be all of this angst. Gad, I cannot wait until they fix this glitch or just start taking...

  18. Taking the NCLEX multiple times

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

    Sorry my young friend but I won't. It took 1500 questions for us to prove we had a grasp on the material. There is absolutely no way 75 questions can do that. 75 questions per subject maybe but not...

  19. Taking the NCLEX multiple times

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

    I think that candidates should have to take all 265 questions too. Seriously? 75 questions proves they have a grasp on the ENTIRE body of material? I just don't see

  20. (8/29) This week, I have learned......

    FlyingScot replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    What's even better is going to wineries (frequently) and getting glasses from them. The memories are

  21. (8/29) This week, I have learned......

    FlyingScot replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    This week I learned that apparently my idiosyncrasies make me lovable. My co-workers totally punked me when I got back from a vacation that went from 9 days to 3 by messing with my OCD and totally...

  22. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    FlyingScot replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for getting this thread back on track after being severely hijacked. Which, BTW, is extremely rude. You know who you are, make your own thread. 1. Yes. I have severe asthma and the flu...

  23. What nurse life-hacks do you have to offer?

    FlyingScot replied to Purple_roses's topic in Nurses Rock

    A strip of iodoform packing gauze tied to the head of the bed will DESTROY any stench from any source. Have a patient with dementia who's a "picker"? Give them a stack of loose washcloths and tell...

  24. Did the PVT trick and paid the 200

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

    You did it too early so now there's no way to tell. At this point all you can do is wait for the quick results from PV or the official results from your BON which is what you should have done in the...
