    why this interview question???

    donsterRN replied to ChervRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I, too, was asked this question during an interview! I didn't think much of it at the time; I had assumed the nice lady was just making small talk. It turns out that, like me, the interviewer is...

    "Sir or Ma'am" when addressing physicians?

    donsterRN replied to nurs4kids's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, this. ^ I think this is a generational situation. I was taught to treat every person with whom I come in contact (not just my elders) with respect. Even today, I call the cable guy, the...

    donsterRN replied to CNA1991's topic in General Students

    I can't figure out why you care what he is. If he's not in any of your classes, and he's not hurting you or your family and friends, then ... ? You've got other things to worry

    donsterRN replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    I don't think this is worth being furious about. It's just that your patient wanted to void and your fellow student was there. Should she have helped? Absolutely. Should she have obtained...

    Took the NCLEX today...and balled my eyes out.

    donsterRN replied to Meg11M21's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    And just so you know... it's "bawled", not "balled". The latter means something completely different. I took NCLEX a couple of years ago. The vast majority of questions were about prioritization and...

    Has anyone made BASIC skill errors that made them feel incompetent?

    donsterRN replied to kris113's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It happens. If every nurse who made a mistake quit nursing, well, there'd be no nurses. Forgive yourself and move on.
