Once again, if you are not going to give specifics I am not sure how anyone here could help you. If there are six others you should not have trouble pooling resources and getting a lawyer

I enjoyed the girl on Judge Judy that said she was in "medical school" and it turned out she was taking some medical assistant classes.
Arriving early and not clocking in

redhead_NURSE98! replied to soxfan80's topic in General Nursing

Well I wouldn't call it a "trend," it's the law that unless you are an exempt employee, you are paid by the hour for the hours you work. The only reason an employer would discourage someone coming in...

I try to look elsewhere as much as possible. I have a real problem with spitting up loogies too. My dad says he tries to imagine the offending material as a food item (i.e. snot = lemon pudding,...

How not to get ****** at clinical?

I got nothing on the instructor, because it seems that you don't want to confront or say anything to her. However I would report the PA to the infection control officer too, just so I feel better...

Some of the instructors need to learn that this is nursing school and kick the students out of class instead of walking out. You CAN be reprimanded and you CAN be kicked out of the program for crappy...

Yeah, I was wondering why anyone else cares what I look at on my own laptop. Usually I look at it when the teacher is answering someone else's stupid question.

Agreed, education is a lifelong process. I know us old farts are annoying in class, but we're just always gonna be around. I hated us too when I was 19.
Quick Question About Compact License

redhead_NURSE98! replied to It Takes Heart's topic in General Nursing

No, but you will probably have to apply for reciprocity in the other states you work in. All states have reciprocity with each other; it's just that with the compact states, you don't have to pay...
