  5. Transferred to WGU today

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Western Governors University

    The money that I will be saving alone is enough to make me transfer. I won't even go on the snail's pace requirement that I had to have to be a student. It was just not a good fit for me. The only...

  11. Treating pain/anxiety in patients with drug history

    SweettartRN replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    I work in drug and alcohol rehab. If they are there, they do not get pain meds, (with the exception of Tylenol/Ibuprofen) and if they do hurt themselves to the point that they need narcotic pain meds...

  13. Treating pain/anxiety in patients with drug history

    SweettartRN replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

  14. Jumping through hoops to even APPLY for a job!

    SweettartRN replied to sophie<3's topic in General Nursing

  16. Asked 100X how to Quit immediately

    SweettartRN replied to Airidis's topic in General Nursing

    If you live in at at-will employment state, it is PERFECTLY acceptable to resign immediately. After all, the employer can "resign on you" at any given moment. I get so tired of this "I need to give...

  19. Has anyone taken the CPNE with just the aid of Rob's DVDs?

    SweettartRN replied to Mommymedic's topic in Online Distance Learning

    YES! Right here. I do not believe in workshops and feel that they are only a huge waste of money. Rob breaks everything down for you in very simple format. I used his DVD's only and the CPNE study...

  21. 70 year old mom

    SweettartRN replied to NSGstudent12's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is what we get for trying to play God. If we let nature take its course, things like this wouldn't happen. And kudos to the person suggesting the doctor have his licensed revoked. Foolish...

  22. American Sentinel University rn to bsn

    SweettartRN replied to nursebrian's topic in Online Distance Learning

    They are NOT REGIONALLY ACCREDITED. This may come back to bite you in the butt if you try to transfer into a Master's program. I initially looked at their school, but the lack of regional...

  25. Customer Service? Maybe on your home planet.

    SweettartRN replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I work in drug and alcohol rehab- the customer is automatically assumed to be guilty until proven innocent in my line of work, and I am not afraid to put someone in their place if they need it....
