  1. Washing those scrubs?

    tothepointeLVN replied to johnny depp23's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Because such a question leads to insight and debauchery. A besides some of us need something to feel good about. Ala Chris Rock "I wash MY scrubs!!" "Umm your supposed to!"

  2. Crabs In The Barrel

    tothepointeLVN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    The parental thing is a double whammy nowadays. Too often parents encourage their children to be dependent on them but leave them without choices which the makes them more dependent. But mother...

  3. My NCLEX experience!

    tothepointeLVN replied to Godismystrength's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That moment between the end of question 75 (85 if taking the NCLEXPN) was one of the most nerve racking moments even though the test itself wasn't stressful but relief that you feel afterwards....

  4. Crabs In The Barrel

    tothepointeLVN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    The whole process of prenursing / nursing seems to foster an attitude of every man for himself. I'm currently back in that environment and am being actively discouraged by others to help those that...

  5. Crabs In The Barrel

    tothepointeLVN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    My husband's parents were like that flat out told him "Mexicans" don't go to college and his life was to work until he died. My parents were slightly different they held me down by not letting me do...

  6. Crabs In The Barrel

    tothepointeLVN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    Ah the irony. My maiden name is a variation on the word crab and this is truly how they behaved. It wasn't until I moved countries and got married and thus rid of my name that I got rid of that...

  7. Pre-Nursing school immunization catastrophe!

    tothepointeLVN replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    I think it all depends on what the billing code they put it in for. If its for something your insurance is already paying for treatment it might get automatically get approved since in terms of lab...

    tothepointeLVN replied to esunada's topic in First Year After Licensure

    A little paranoid don't you think especially when the poster your directing your ire at isn't exactly a prolific poster (yet). Come back in a year and reevaluate. I think on AN we are equal...

  13. New Nurse/Old Attitude

    tothepointeLVN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  16. You're probably worried about the NCLEX..dont...seriously. Here's what I did!

    tothepointeLVN replied to gtrebyari's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is true but it can be a good thing if it stuck in your head and your able to apply the answer to other questions worded differently. This is where having different test banks helps. I had...

    tothepointeLVN replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    While I do understand that we post when we are fatigued and on cell phones and those mistakes can be distinguished from mere laziness or lack or skill. What I don't understand is when people post with...

  21. Surveillance cameras in pedi patient's home?

    tothepointeLVN replied to lovelane78's topic in Private Duty

    I think the thought of being videotaped covertly just instinctively feels wrong. My husbands boss spends his lunch zooming in on people on the surveillance watching people as the chew. Looking over...

    tothepointeLVN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
