  1. Confused and frustrated!

    Nurse Salt replied to JJG07's topic in International Nursing

    I agree with WDWpixie, please hault your usage of "text slang" while on this website. When texting you have limited space, so shortcuts are tolerated, but here you have ample space to express yourself...

  2. PLEASE can anyone and everyone please help me

    Nurse Salt replied to tryingtobecome's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure about the college class requirements, but I saw an ad on TV a few days ago about becoming an LVN in about a year at a tech school (western career college, bryman, or one

  3. Other people's ?s about your salary...

    Nurse Salt replied to eager1hasbegun's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I live in a different cultural climate or maybe my friends and I are just more open, but I would not be offended in the slightest if someone asked me this question... Although, many of my...

  5. Club 265: PLEASE PLEASE READ and give input! :)

    Nurse Salt replied to juliemcd's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes two did tell me. A nurse I met when hired as a new grad claimed to getting 75 questions and passing (first time), after a few months and a friendship was forged he/she confided in actually having...

  6. I was slapped by a doctor!

    Nurse Salt replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    The comment about the preceptor "gloating" was taken out of context... That was a quote from an earlier post from a different nurse who had experienced something similar. NOT the OP... Just to...

  7. Night shift and endurance training

    Nurse Salt replied to triRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Some days I workout after I get off in the AM-- straight to the gym, if I go home fatigue sets in. Other days I go to the gym when I wake up about 4pm. On my days off I always get a work out in by...

  8. Club 265: PLEASE PLEASE READ and give input! :)

    Nurse Salt replied to juliemcd's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know this may not apply to your friends/co-workers, but I know several RNs who claim they got 75, when I know that is not the truth... Just something to remember. Also, last year they increased the...

  9. I was slapped by a doctor!

    Nurse Salt replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    DITTO!!! Just one question, why did they give you a raise? Compensation? Or was that part of "not speaking publicly"? Just wondering and whatever the reason, CONGRATS! It may not seem like it now, but...

  10. did anyone recieve a hospital scholarship while in nursing school?

    Nurse Salt replied to 2bManNurse1017's topic in General Nursing

    I have one, many, MANY stipulations came with it... At times I feel limited because I owe them 3 years, but in the end the $32000 they paid for my schooling will be worth

  11. I was slapped by a doctor!

    Nurse Salt replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    GIRN, Well

  12. I was slapped by a doctor!

    Nurse Salt replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    I am a (relatively) new nurse too, I'm sorry if I came off sounding harsh. I just cannot fathom someone NOT wanting to stand up for themself. New nurse or not, she would be making a great statement if...

  13. I was slapped by a doctor!

    Nurse Salt replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    I am VERY disappointed you are not pressing charges! I agree with the two previous posters that you are demonstrating "classic victim" behavior by backing down because you feel "weird"... Didn't you...

  14. I was slapped by a doctor!

    Nurse Salt replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    Two words: Assault

  15. Pass rate for the RN-NCLEX is 100%

    Nurse Salt replied to MaleNursesRock's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    hahaha! I could see it now, throwing your chair through the computer screen, punching out the guy who takes your fingerprint on the way out! hahaha! i never thought of it that way! I'm pretty sure...

  16. Pass rate for the RN-NCLEX is 100%

    Nurse Salt replied to MaleNursesRock's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    MaleNusresRock, did you get your ADN or BSN? The reason I ask, is that you feel your program was more GPA competitive than the private school, right? Well, I believe most (if not all, and correct me...

  17. The nurse who wasn't. Thoughts and comments.

    Nurse Salt replied to lulu123's topic in General Nursing

    If you have a previous Bachelors degree (as I think you stated you do) getting an accelerated bachelors degree would be less time than an ADN. However, it will probably be much more expensive. I am...

  18. Anyone Up For Random FACT THROWING??

    Nurse Salt replied to CrazyScrubNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am just a lurking RN here (took NCLEX last year)... This thread is wonderfully helpful I wish I had had it when I was studying!!! Great idea! Good luck everyone! Some tips from me (no new knowledge,...

  19. Pass rate for the RN-NCLEX is 100%

    Nurse Salt replied to MaleNursesRock's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I NEVER said that law enforcement agents lack professionalism or intelligence! Please do NOT put words in my mouth... What I was referring to is the constant battle we, as nurses, face trying to prove...

  20. Pass rate for the RN-NCLEX is 100%

    Nurse Salt replied to MaleNursesRock's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am slightly offended by this comment, but that is for another thread... I think much of what is discussed here just goes to show that "just getting in to nursing school" is NOT enough. But rather...

  21. Should I look for new job??

    Nurse Salt replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am wondering why you requested night shift in the first place... I mean you must have considered all this before requesting something so seemingly opposite to your life style(?). I agree you...

  22. Opinions wanted, please

    Nurse Salt replied to Susan9608's topic in General Nursing

    If this was a class CHOSEN by the OP then I MIGHT be able to agree with the last part of your statement. However, if she was mandated to go (as it seems she was) then she probably does not have the...

  23. Did not get new position

    Nurse Salt replied to rn-jane's topic in General Nursing

    Glasgow3 took the words right out of my mouth... You have made yourself too valuable to the hospital! I admire your work ethic, but you are being taken for granted... Get out of there and learn from...

  24. I think we need a second degree student section...

    Nurse Salt replied to touchhealth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That was going to be my suggestion... Because each situation is unique and some schools offer their own financial aid, scholarships or forgivable loans contacting you school of choice is the best way...

  25. Guess the mispronounced medical term

    Nurse Salt replied to EricJRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was receiving report once and the nurse kept referring to the pt's u-REEN and how it wasn't normal so we were monitoring it. Finally I was like "I'm sorry what is ureen?" and the other nurse goes...
