    Ideas for Nursing Grad Party

    donsterRN replied to leesespieces's topic in General Students

    Ditto! I know you've worked dam*** hard to get that degree; don't ever let anyone tell you it's "only" anything. You deserve a party! And hey, if your mom doesn't want to throw the party for some...

    Ideas for Nursing Grad Party

    donsterRN replied to leesespieces's topic in General Students

    I love the idea of having a uniform burning. Send invites using a prescription pad or nurses notes template. You can find all sorts of clip art images to print for decoration (nurses caps, syringes,...

    This has been really getting on my nerves lately...

    donsterRN replied to GregRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but... I see a lot of "should of, could of, would of" instead of "should've, could've, would've" which, of course is a contracted version of "should...

    Non-Nurses calling themselves a Nurse

    donsterRN replied to sarajasmine's topic in General Nursing

    The DON is not a nurse??? OMG! You're absolutely correct; that's just wrong. It's kind of like a paralegal being Chief Justice. It's great that your sister is a nurse, too. One of my sisters is a...

    Can you register for both LPN and RN exams at the same time?

    donsterRN replied to Nuieve's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My understanding is that you can't sit for the LPN exam unless you've graduated from an LPN program. It used to be that you could sit for LPN boards after a certain amount of time in an RN program,...

    Non-Nurses calling themselves a Nurse

    donsterRN replied to sarajasmine's topic in General Nursing

    I know! I can't find one post that denigrates the education or the position of CMA's. Not one. This thread started because someone had a CNA (not a CMA) posing as a nurse in her school district....

    Men In Aged Care

    donsterRN replied to Young Woman's topic in General Nursing

    What would you call these statements, if not stereotypical? Even the title of your thread categorizes and generalizes a group of people, which is what stereotyping is. My point is that one will...

    Men In Aged Care

    donsterRN replied to Young Woman's topic in General Nursing

    Can't believe I'm going to dip my big manly toe into this lake, but... What you seem to be describing is most appropriately attributed to your boss' personality (or lack thereof...) I don't know why...

    Non-Nurses calling themselves a Nurse

    donsterRN replied to sarajasmine's topic in General Nursing

    I made no judgements about anyone's abilities to do the job for which they are educated. I am well acquainted with the educational level to which CMA's are trained. My story was used to illustrate...

    Non-Nurses calling themselves a Nurse

    donsterRN replied to sarajasmine's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I think we have to be very vigilant and assertive in making sure the person entrusted to provide nursing care for the public is who they represent themselves to be. I never thought I'd have...

    This has been really getting on my nerves lately...

    donsterRN replied to GregRN's topic in General Nursing

    Let's not forget "your" and "you're"... One of my friends consistently writes something like "Glad to hear your doing well." It's not caught by spellcheck, of course. And when he writes in longhand,...

    I passed my Psychology CLEP a couple of weeks ago. I used the REA preparation review book. I'm currently reviewing for the Sociology CLEP. I bought the books from Amazon.com. Since only the...
