    Would I be crazy to apply for patient care tech job?

    Has anyone ever had to repeat a class during NS?

    I failed pharmacology and I failed NCLEX once. Don't sweat it! Failing doesn't make you any less of a person or nurse. Plus, really I feel much stronger in pharmacology because I took it twice. (I...

    Thinking outside the box.

    How about a nursing school counselor or tutor. My online RN to BSN counselor/adviser lady is an RN and she was very up front with me and said since the program is online all she does is tell people...

    Nurse reality show

    That is very true. After watching that who in their right minds wants to go into nursing.

    Did you ever doubt your nursing abilities/judgement?

    When I talk to people even my own coworkers they always tell my that I am oh so confident and that is sounds like I know what I am doing. WRONG! I am the worst mess on the inside. I always question my...

    Lighting at night

    I wouldn't mind as long as I don't trip over anything. Or its too dark to see who is coming at you. =o that would be freaky. LOL but I doubt they are that

    PLEASE HELP! Graduation Speech!!

    I was the mistress of ceremonies and I started off with the lyrics to a Japanese song that stated that how we would look back on these days and they would take on a sudden glow and stuff like that....

    No time to actually be a nurse???

    I heard that something more like private nursing and sometimes home health is that way. Its one on one patient care, I don't know too much about it but you can ask

    Almost one year out....vent warning

    AW I am sorry to hear that. It's hard out there right now for everyone but I think maybe you should try to find a way to talk to managers. That is what I did. Took months to find something and took...
  20. I told this to my preceptor the other day, if you can't give me a specific complaint then I can't improve can I? Just saying somethings I need to work on is not enough and I would tell my manager that...
  21. I know that for me its really changed my attitude in a bad way unfortunately. Before I would do favors for everyone; now no one can ask me for favors. Because everyone is always asking something from...

    Nurses going back to school

    I am starting my BSN in April and I finished nursing school in Aug. I only waited so long because of NCLEX or else I would have done it
  23. I'm new so I try not to sweat it to much and long as I did the best I can that is all I can do. I'm not supernurse. I'm far from it. But we will get there eventually. I just know it. One day we will...
