I would tell them the same thing I tell the old battle axes I have to deal with: If I'm not getting half of your paycheck.... I'm not doing half of your work. Do it yourself. I have enough to do, thanks.

Wow, there is a God. I am floored. A CEO who actually cares. Is anyone ice skating in Hell right now? LOL

You might want to look into an accelerated BSN program. They are usually around 18 mo- 2 years, and when you are done you have a BSN instead of a ADN. These programs are technically designed for people who have BS "in a related field", which is a b...

What everyone else said. If you are legit disabled and its documented, you can and must be allowed to use all equipment pertaining to your disability. They have to let you, if not its discrimination and they know it. They obviously have no idea wh...

Fake nails are disgusting for a nurse to have because of all of the bacteria, constant hand washing, and all other features that working as a nurse entails. You should absolutely not have fake nails.... ever. Not only is it just gross to think abou...

Its ok, the rest of us that don't live in Chicago don't even consider Chicago and the surrounding areas a part of Illinois either. Especially when, for half of the state its closer, and more fun to go to STL than it is to drive 4 hours to Chicago.....

Well I can't really pass judgment on the alcohol, b/c I love my beer, and it loves me. But if she smokes weed too.... She is just an idiot. Having said that, I personally believe that weed is much safer than alcohol overall, and should and pretty m...

A +1 for using Rosetta Stone. All others pale in comparison. Books are useless, drill based junk 99% of the time. I learned Arabic with Rosetta Stone in about 6 months. So I'm pretty sure you can learn something as easy as Spanish with it. OR....

Most people have absolutely no idea what they are talking about, or are just complete and udder morons. Haven't you managed to figure that one out yet boys and girls. Sheeple just repeat what they hear from their brother's friend's uncle's sister's...

Yep- Its called the "blood choke". I take it you never watch UFC? LOL. Who knew that military training would yield answers to nursing questions. LOL

1.) Lighten up 2.) If that really bothered you all that much you better develop alot thicker skin than that really quick or you're going to hate life as a nurse. 3.) People will always irk you. Its what they do. 4.) If this really bothered yo...

Most, if not all people have trouble with AP. Honestly, if you are having that much trouble, and by no means am I telling you to quit, maybe you should finish that class and other difficult prereqs before continuing. I didn't do it that way at all ...

I have always tried to be as nice as I can, but when you have a bunch of patients, and the family/friends are in the way or interfering with the patients recovery/treatment in any way..... Its time for them to go. I have been told I would be fired 1...

Wrists, shoulders, neck, knees, back, ankles and elbows take turns hurting whenever they feel like it. A good day is when I wake up and only 1 of them hurts a little bit. Blame it on the sports, powerlifting, or all the crazy Marine Corps stuff I'v...

Right now, Finish Line has Nike Shox in the clearance section online for $80. That might be high for you, but they are closed cell with no mesh, and they are most white, with a little silver. I just got them. I already went thru 2 other pairs of ...

Welcome to the difference between book smart and world smart. Some people are book smart can tell you everything about everything, but can't screw in a lightbulb. Some guys are dumb as a brick, but are the best motor T mechanics I have ever seen. ...

I have 2 pairs. They are badass. pros: They are pants. Not drawstring pajama feeling crap. Which is what I wanted and was looking for. They have good pockets in the right places. Mine are white, and they are not see thru. Cons: Maybe?? They...

There are also "accelerated" BSN programs that will take you from a Bachelor's degree in another discipline to a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing. And most of the time they aren't hard to get into. I know Southern Illinois University Edwardsville has o...

I've lifted on and off for about 10 years now. Went from decent build, to skinny Marine outta boot, and worked my way back up a couple times since Iraq doesn't have a weightlifting facility. But after being out a few years and having time w/ schoo...

Wow, from reading this I now know that I am SO going to get fired from nursing. Hasn't happened yet, but I will 100% NOT put up with that **** whatsoever. Blame it on the 5 years I spent in the Marines, but pretty much any of those things happen t...

What "special considerations" are we talking about? Why would I care one way or another about a patients sexual orientation? And someone, anyone please explain to me how this actually matters in treating a patient? Because I'm pretty sure I could...

I would tell everyone to just do the 2 year ADN thing at a community college for starters. 1.) It's WAY cheaper. 2.) Its faster 3.) Its usually a little less competitive 4.) They usually have less weed out classes. You can always finish the BSN la...

I'm sure all of the alternates will get in. I know of at least 5 people who got in but turned it down because they got in somewhere "better". And those were the people who had 3.8's and above and yet applied to 5 programs and of course got into all...

ours was 25% of our final grade. But it went like this...... Say you had a C+ or even a B- in the class, and you got an A on the final. Then he was kind enough to give you an A in the class. He said this was because he felt that the final tested e...

Hey don't worry about it. Its just another hurdle that won't matter that much in 10 years once you have alot of exp. under your belt. Just live in the now and roll with the punches so to speak. Get it done, don't lose hope, and get on with working...
