  1. Pay issues

    DaMale Nurse replied to Ramrodthegreat's topic in General Nursing

    As for the hazardous work environments. I work in a acute psychiatric hospital and trust me the danger is there. Recently a coworker of mine had to have a shut placed due to a massive head injury...

  2. RN State Licensure after Graduation??

    DaMale Nurse replied to JerseyGir1's topic in General Nursing

    You can apply for your license in any state and take the NCLEX anywhere you want. You just need to go to that's state's nursing commission to see what you need to do. States vary on what is acceptable...

  3. TEXAS RN's: Is HESI harder than NCLEX?

    DaMale Nurse replied to CrazyScrubNurse's topic in Texas Nursing

    VENT! I can't believe that your school requires the HESI. Frankly if they are so bad of teachers. That they can't get almost all of there students to pass the NCLEX what the hell are they teaching...

  5. Frustrated and confused

    DaMale Nurse replied to wonderbee's topic in Psychiatric

    As for my pscy area, there are three different "units" with 3-4 "wards" each. There is a Forensics unit(Court Committed Insane(60pt), and 15 day eval and treat(30pts)), an Adult unit (2 30pt wards for...

  6. Do You ever wonder why.....

    DaMale Nurse replied to MentalRn's topic in Psychiatric

    I have worked in Pscy about 7months so far and I see what you mean about the "Mental illness" of the coworkers. I think to be able to do pscy nursing w/out getting bored or frustrated you have to have...

  7. What's YOUR nursing obsession?

    DaMale Nurse replied to tanthalas's topic in General Nursing

    For me it's Delusions. I know weird, but I love to hear all about what delusions my patients have. Although I have found a couple that were considered delusions but were probably just exaggeration's...

  8. TEXAS RN's: Is HESI harder than NCLEX?

    DaMale Nurse replied to CrazyScrubNurse's topic in Texas Nursing

    I passed my NCLEX recently and also took the HESI. For comparison, only 40 of 98 of my class passed the HESI but all but one passed NCLEX the first time around. Although I thought the HESI was harder...

  9. Monthy doc visits for job excuses

    DaMale Nurse replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in General Nursing

    Frankly, I think it's a pretty cheap shot at those with real health concerns. Although I believe there are probably some who will use this just to get out of mandatory overtime I feel that a review...

  10. Salary in Seattle for RNs---low, or is it just me??

    DaMale Nurse replied to sweetcaroline's topic in Washington Nursing

    Yah, Seattle and the western Washington area is actually pretty horrid for pay scale. Starting at SHMC (Spokane,WA) is actually 23.96 for new grads and considering that Spokane is about 60% of cost of...

  11. What makes you nervous about or irritated with a new grad or orientee?

    DaMale Nurse replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Have you ever thought that a new grad is so overwhelmed with the whole experience that questions have not started to form. Perhaps engaging them in a discussion of how to do stuff and what is the...

  12. Carreer Advice --- scary?

    DaMale Nurse posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Today I got a job offer from a nursing home to be a night supervisor. I am a new grad nurse. They plan on training me for 3 months on the floor duties and then to take over as night charge. The shift...

  13. Calling yourself a "nurse"

    DaMale Nurse replied to Jamie2887's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience I do not call myself a nurse. I call myself an RN. During nursing school my class made up several t-shirts that had RN in big letters on the front to clearly identify ourselves to our...

  14. aspiring nurse looking for a plan of action

    DaMale Nurse replied to lilbandgeek's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes, defiantly. Being a CNA, although some **** work, will give you a great edge on various nursing programs and wither or not you really should be a nurse. Frankly if you can do CNA work and love it...
