  1. nurses in recovery continue to suffer at the hands of board

    docomo replied to hucksloretta's topic in Nurses Recovery

    To all who are in this position. Perhaps the best thing to do is to realize that you might have to wait out the job market. All things change, and eventually nurses will much more in demand. In the...

  2. Getting ready to self report

    docomo replied to sharkiern357's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you are still working as a nurse, then take this opportunity to quit now and take a job working in a coffee shop while you sort our your priorities. You clearly see that you are out of control and...

    docomo replied to PixieButtercup's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Quit! now! Don't work for someone with such poor management/leadership skills. Sooner or later they will throw you under the

  4. Nursing is slavery Period!!!

    docomo replied to sonia211's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm going to make a bold statement that many won't like. You are 100% correct about how bad the conditions are for nurses overall. I'm a new nurse, but I've been in healthcare for more than 20 years...

  5. What are your thoughts on patients who request no male nurses taking care of them?

    docomo replied to Mike A. Fungin RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think it's a reflection of our society. In general, men are not as trusted in any situation where there is high risk of some pervert exploiting the situation for sexual gratification. Is it right?...

  6. Routine testing of HCV, HIV in healthcare professionals

    docomo replied to mar1981's topic in General Nursing

    In 20 years, I was stuck by needles 4 times, all before needles came with safety devices built in, and all of them due to someone else being careless. 1. needle someone left in a chucks pad. 2....

  7. Just hired and don't know what to expect

    docomo replied to docomo's topic in Emergency

    Thank for all your comments. For those who may have forgotten, nursing school has very little concern for teaching skills. They spend far more time teaching about far less important stuff like roys...

  8. omg everybody passed got alot SATA (my weakness)

    docomo replied to Skaur2017's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Getting a lot of SATA questions is not common. I would say 7 -10 is more than most, and the fact that your test stopped at 75 indicates that you have a very high percent chance of passing. Few...

  9. omg everybody passed got alot SATA (my weakness)

    docomo replied to Skaur2017's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm not lucky. You are simply unwilling to accept the mathematical facts. Try reading my post again and think about it purely from the scientific perspective. And to answer your question, you lose...

  10. In nursing school clinical did you experience discrimination / bias from instructor?

    docomo replied to biltz's topic in Men in Nursing

    "by the time i knew i was under attack, it was too late. " that was your fatal mistake, and one you are likely to repeat. you should read sun tzu's "art of war" you are always under attack. everyone...

  11. In nursing school clinical did you experience discrimination / bias from instructor?

    docomo replied to biltz's topic in Men in Nursing

    You couldn't have said it better. OB was hell for me. The patients were fine with male students, but the nurses despised having male students. For the most part, I think it's also worth...

  12. In nursing school clinical did you experience discrimination / bias from instructor?

    docomo replied to biltz's topic in Men in Nursing

    I recently graduated myself, and as a male, I can tell you that I hated nursing school with all my heart. We have a policy in our school that says any exam question can be challenged. Throughout the...

  13. Moving to Oahu

    docomo replied to Bkanar's topic in Men in Nursing

    I lived there for three years. Its a beautiful place and the cost of living isn't nearly as bad a some people make it out to be. However, if you are not asian, then once the newness of the place has...

  15. omg everybody passed got alot SATA (my weakness)

    docomo replied to Skaur2017's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Guessing on SATA questions is merely one kind of strategy, just like trying your best to answer all questions correctly is a strategy. Wasting time on questions that you have very little chance of...

  16. omg everybody passed got alot SATA (my weakness)

    docomo replied to Skaur2017's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just got my quick results today. I had 75 questions, about 30 of them were SATA. I didn't even read the SATA questions. Just clicked 2 random boxes for each one and moved on. Didn't want to...

  18. SFA or Lamar Nursing

    docomo replied to taylormarie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    IMO, which ever school is cheaper. I don't think 99% of the people out care where you got your nursing degree, as long as you have one. The only exception to that is that hospitals do prefer to hire...

  19. Lamar University

    docomo replied to dreamer44's topic in Texas Nursing

  20. A "chick's" perspective on Men in Nursing

    docomo replied to KimmbaFNP's topic in Male Nursing Students

    OMG I wish all that were true! (extremely skeptical) However, IMO the only thing I ever want out of nursing is to be able to find a job where work is enjoyable. I've lived the life of spending every...

  23. How to NOT gain weight in Nursing School??

    docomo replied to motheringheart's topic in General Students

    try making small cuts on your arm everyday instead. (not really). nursing school sucks, so people tend to live off of sugar foods as a source of comfort and fast energy. Use your summer breaks to...

  24. Lamar University

    docomo replied to dreamer44's topic in Texas Nursing

    - It will be an absolute nightmare. The #1 lesson I have learned since being in nursing school is, that nursing instructors (most of them) are lazy lazy lazy. Translation= disorganization,...
