  1. I cannot work there!

    SweettartRN replied to MJJFan1's topic in General Nursing

    Take the full time position. Always trust that still small voice when something is telling you it isn't

  2. Indiana Welseyan- what a difference!

    SweettartRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    So I finally made it through my first remedial class at IWU. This week, we started a new class and it is a totally different ball game. The instructor does not spoon feed, has given deadlines for...

  3. Protocol for HIV partner notification

    SweettartRN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    You are absolutely right. We had a man here in Michigan charged with murder for sleeping with 8 women and not disclosing his HIV positive status when he was released from prison. Needless to say,...

  4. is it OK to submit your 2 week notice via email?

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

    Getting fired via email happens all the time. An email is a great way of communication that leaves you with a paper trail. It won't get lost, it goes to whom it needs to, and you have information to...

  5. Blood transfusions??? just say no...

    SweettartRN replied to macgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I am with you completely. We all have beliefs, and I respect the OP for theirs. I don't understand why so many folks are ignorant of religious of beliefs and so intolerant of nurses who have some that...

  6. Indiana Welseyan- what a difference!

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Rn-BSN and I find it to be super easy. That's just me.

  7. Excelsior BSN, why so few people here enrolled?

    SweettartRN replied to MissingMyErica's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The reason I didn't was because they wanted me to take so many extra classes just to complete my

  8. Do you ever feel like a licensed drug pusher?

    SweettartRN replied to whykiki0103's topic in Emergency

    This is why the "pain is subjective" for me is so hard. I have never had pain so badly that I was screaming or hurting in my life. Even when I fell and broke my foot, I would never rate pain at...

  9. Stuck in the rumor mill at work...

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

    Someone's been watching too much Nurse

  10. I'm glad I listened to my instinct.

    SweettartRN replied to payang0722's topic in General Nursing

    And it's stories like this that make me feel all warm and fuzzy. I always get scared when another nurse tells me "I don't ever follow my gut instinct. You can't always trust it and you need to use...

  11. Online MSN/FNP

    SweettartRN replied to Heidi the nurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    St. Joseph's College of Maine has an online FNP program. You might want to consider them. I believe that they may have rolling admission. Also, Oakland University also offers an online

  12. Row call for EC students

    SweettartRN replied to WestPalmLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I believe the correct terminology is "ROLL call for EC Students," not "row

  13. Michigan Excelsior students- some info

    SweettartRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    For those of you who don't want to wait to take your boards, there is an alternative! I am applying to take my NCLEX-RN for Minnesota and then endorse in to Michigan. I hope to be eligible and receive...

  14. University Hospital Syracuse

    SweettartRN replied to BeachieRN84's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Been there, done that! I tested in Syracuse last October, so feel free to ask any questions. The staff was great. There were a couple of "colder" instructors, but the lead lady was a treat. I...

  15. What are the major issues you have struggled with as a nurse?

    SweettartRN replied to Nurse Mentor Nancy's topic in General Nursing

    Ethical issues related to unethical employers and co-workers. This is the most major issue that I have found. Medicine is a fickle

  16. Interview for assisted living. Some specific advice?

    SweettartRN replied to cherubhipster's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My advice: Don't do it! You will have unlicensed personnel passing meds under your license, a host of uneducated persons to train that only make $8.00 per hour, and a lifetime of being on call, having...

  17. Indiana Wesleyan (ABSN)...how competitive?

    SweettartRN replied to starmickey03's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Enjoy the remedial learning environment that IWU offers! It's quite humiliating and

  18. Complaintsboard.com ec reviews-- yikes!!

    SweettartRN replied to dslpninla's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I too looked at these before I was signed up with EC. I then realized that they were people that I was glad had not passed because they would probably make lousy co-workers and even lousier nurses....

  19. cheapest online RN to BSN?

    SweettartRN replied to lalalalexi's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Beware of Western Governors University. If you attend, you can only ever receive a 3.0 GPA and if you decide to continue your education, many schools may not accept

  20. American Sentinel University it is!

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    AND as you can see, I am not attending this school because it does not have regional accreditation and many NP schools WILL NOT accept

  21. For the love of God- is this even right?!

    SweettartRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    So I am in my first class at Indiana Wesleyan. Nursing Informatics. Our first lessons? NOUNS AND VERBS. I kid you not. Is this even right?! I feel as if I am stuck in a remedial class with the...

  22. For the love of God- is this even right?!

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ok, update. Here we are week three and it's "Ask the Librarian how to use the dewey decimal system." And we are learning how to use the spell check in Word this week! How exciting! I have never...

  23. For the love of God- is this even right?!

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Syllabus states that it is to cover nursing technology. Mentions nothing about remedial English basics or APA 101. It's accredited. It's Indiana Wesleyan for crying out loud. My email back from my...

  24. For the love of God- is this even right?!

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Cali, I am for sure. This is just infuriating. I also found out today that my textbooks, that are supposed to be included in with my program, are

  25. offended co worker

    SweettartRN replied to frost99's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe buy him some happy pills and a stool softener to go with it? He sounds awfully constipated to
