  1. Family and PT reactions to male nurses

    AZO49008 replied to Warrior504th's topic in Men in Nursing

    I have never really had an issue where my gender has created an issue. When it comes to personal care issues with female patients (and male patients as well for that matter) I let them perform them on...

  2. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    AZO49008 replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Took the dreaded NCLEX yesterday. It shut down after 87 minutes and 75 questions. Had 14 SATA, with 6 SATA in a ROW! Blahhhhhh! What's up with that? Walked away feeling okay and got the good pop-up....

  3. Working as a nurse for medical mission trips

    AZO49008 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone have any leads on some good medical mission organizations with which nurses can volunteer their services. This whole tragedy in Haiti, as well as other recent disasters, has piqued an...

  4. Disorderly conduct charge???

    AZO49008 replied to OH-ARE nurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    LOL...if you had already come to an understanding, you'd understand it's not "bs". I suspect you have a lot of learning about life ahead of you. Best of

  5. Disorderly conduct charge???

    AZO49008 replied to OH-ARE nurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    I hate to sound like a Machiavellian jerk here but here's my two cents worth anyway. As to whether or not this messes up your chance at nursing school I've got no idea. But what you're getting...

  6. Complaints You've Heard During Nursing School

    AZO49008 replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    Oh wow....I lost count LONG ago. Is it just me, or does it seem that nursing students are a bunch of whiners? People need to grow up and understand that there are going to be hoops to jump through...

  7. Graduating (God willing) in June 2010 - Anyone else nervous about finding a job?

    AZO49008 replied to EleniRN's topic in General Students

    I guess I feel pretty lucky. I graduate from an ADN program May 2 and I already have two soft job offers lined up. I'm currently working as a nurse extern at a large hospital and their intent is to...

  8. Tattoos all over!

    AZO49008 replied to tigertjc's topic in Men in Nursing

    First of all, I won't even pretend to try to understand a person's motivation to get an image permanently inked on their skin. I'm not against tattoos, I just don't "get it." That being said, a lot of...

  9. Nursing school and social life?

    AZO49008 replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    Seriously? You think I lacked a life before nursing school? You should stick to posting about things you know something about. I actually had a pretty active and vibrant lifestyle. Nursing school...

  10. NEED HELP WITH WIFE

    AZO49008 replied to milan18400's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think the above quoted thread nails it on the head. I think there have been some good suggestions in this thread. I don't know if anyone else has suggested this yet (I'm reading this on the fly and...

  11. Nursing school.... is just a bunch of BUSY WORK?

    AZO49008 replied to SilenceDogood's topic in General Students

    This is what are called hoops. They want us to jump through them. Just do it and move on. We're not going to change it, and we don't have to like it. But it's not as if we have a choice, so just be an...

  12. Nursing school and social life?

    AZO49008 replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    There is no such thing as a social life (or a meaningful one, anyway) when you're in nursing school. Finally, in my second year my friends and family are finally getting this reality. They no longer...

  13. You may think this is stuipid, but I'm need advice!

    AZO49008 replied to wrightLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously? You never got the opportunity to start an IV in nursing school?? This is no reflection on you, but if I were you I'd be ****** that my instructors never made sure I could competently do...

  14. Our hospital is going SMOKE FREE!

    AZO49008 replied to CCLOUD9's topic in General Nursing

    I think every hospital should be smoke free. Ours just went that way about two years ago. What cracks me up is that there's a large cemetery next to the hospital and employees who smoke and want to...

  15. How much math is in nursing school??????

    AZO49008 replied to spacecitygroover's topic in General Students

    The math is not hard. Knowing how to set up the equation to get the correct answer is not always so easy...unless you use dimensional analysis. I learned dimensional analysis in a Health Careers Math...

  16. International Nursing Companies (outside of US)

    AZO49008 replied to TravelBugRN's topic in Travel

    I too am interested in international travel nursing. I am continually frustrated with how difficult it is to go abroad to work when I constantly work with nurses from many countries here. Why is it so...

  17. My formula for NCLEX success

    AZO49008 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just found out that I passed the NCLEX-PN exam. I felt pretty confident afterwards, but still the computer shut off at 85 questions. And I did have a lot of Select All That Apply questions (maybe 10...

  18. Interested in Nursing School, but?!

    AZO49008 replied to Reallyconfused0160's topic in Men in Nursing

    Hey there - Wow...that was a lot to digest, but I'm glad you shared it. All the issues you discussed do have a bearing on you potentially becoming an RN. First of all, I think you need to get...

  19. How does management encourage or discourage bullying?

    AZO49008 replied to country mom's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The hospital I'm externing at and hope to work at as an RN when I complete school next year just started a program on squelching lateral violence. I don't percieve that it is a pervasive problem at my...

  20. Question about loss of license due to an "administrative complaint"

    AZO49008 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am getting ready to take boards and was visiting my state's board of nursing, familiarizing myself with the process, etc... There was an area where you can search for a person's license and to see...

  21. Okay...show of hands. Who here can believe the school year is almost over?

    AZO49008 posted a topic in General Students

    Where did the year go? I'm just three weeks away from wrapping up my first year and am wondering how I got so far in what seems like a small amount of time. I wish the wait to get INTO nursing school...

  22. To my dear wife:

    AZO49008 replied to Bortaz's topic in General Students

    Wow. Sounds like Mrs. Tim is a lucky

  23. Pt.'s partner asked to have intercourse with a stoma !

    AZO49008 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Oh for cryin' out loud. Not THIS story again. I've read two or three other versions and variations on this at allnurses over the last year or so. Either it's someone walking in on a patient and the...

  24. briefs or diapers

    AZO49008 replied to nrsman1's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it's always seemed ridiculous to call them briefs when typically the are, in fact, a diaper. But diaper isn't acceptable either. I call it what it is: an undergarment. It's clear what I'm...

  25. do you have good clinical instructors?

    AZO49008 replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    I've had great clinical instructors. They've made us work, they expect a lot out of us, but I've also learned a great deal from them. I've found the key to keeping them on your side. I NEVER, EVER go...
