    No She/he Did Not!!!

    She did not tell the pt with liver failure, "Your so tan, where did you vacation recently?" That was me, as a brand new CNA. RN just looked at me and said, "this guys in liver failure and that 'tan'...

    You know you are in nursing school when ctxt

    You finally sit down to eat your split pea soup and your fellow student, who is watching your pt comes in to tell you your pt had an emesis. Without missing a spoonful ('cause you know you won't have...

    Dilemma!!!!!!

    Even though there is a limit on acceptance, try to talk to them about extending that limit for you. I was told the same thing and went and talked with powers that be and I was granted credit. There...

    Mistake?

    I have to agree with the other posters. You have found what so many people go their whole lives only wishing for. Stay where you are and be happy. The pay may be better, but you sure won't be...

    Is this even possible?

    I'm happy that you have your house to yourself. I know it must be difficult for you to hear so much advice telling you what you should be doing. Relationships are not often 50/50 at all times. I...
  12. When I first started ns, we were told to always make sure the school is accredited (although I can't recall why). I guess I wasn't much of a help. It seems important for some reason though. I guess...
  13. Took the nclex pn yesterday and even though I know nothing is posted, I still find myself checking. I have many other things to do, but I can't seem to stay focused long enough. The wait is making...

    Pregnancy discrimination

    I simply meant that a don't ask, don't tell type of thinking should be applied here. Yes, a pregnant woman will take a leave, but it's not right to refuse to hire solely based on a pregnancy. I...

  19. You sounded like you did everything right and now the waiting begins. Try to relax and stay away from the computer. I took my pn on Monday and I'm anxiously awaiting results. It feels as bad as the...

    Pregnancy discrimination

    Consider not telling your next potential employer that your pregnant. That would be like telling them that your gay (not exactly, but I hope you get it). Think of how many more won't hire you...

    Weight Lifting RN's

    In 3rd semester clinical we were told to always get help and to lift the least amount of weight as possible. I honestly believe that it is very unsafe to lift 100# of something that is sturdy and...

    Pregnancy discrimination

    You very well might have been. I never told a perspective employer I was pregnant until I had the spot. My goodness some people act like your going to be pregnant forever! You don't want to work in...
