  1. Am I paranoid; or do all my clinical instructors dislike me?

    inland18mempire replied to cincin1's topic in General Nursing

    You're making my point for me. STOP blaming things are your weight. You seem to care more about your weight than others. Do you see what you're doing? "Well she MUST not like me because I'm...

  2. New mom AND new grad

    inland18mempire replied to parrotbaby's topic in General Nursing

    I would recommend that you take your NCLEX as SOON as possible. The longer you wait, the more like you'll end upf forgetting things which will lead to faliure. You can pass the NCLEX right away but...

  3. Input from a Nurse Practitioner please :)

    inland18mempire replied to Quiltmaker05's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think the intent of your assignment is to have a real life, face-to-face encounter with someone. We were told not to solicit internet-based interviews for our assignments. I would double check with...

  4. Waiting for Decision Letters from Schools...

    inland18mempire replied to seattlerainsun's topic in General Students

    Just want to add that I still find it surprising that people are applying to mulitple nursing schools (related to getting your RN license), interviewing, writing admission essays, waiting on decision...

  5. New mom AND new grad

    inland18mempire replied to parrotbaby's topic in General Nursing

    That's a tough one! I presume it will be difficult for you to land a job being pregnant (since the 1st thing that'll come into the manager's mind is you'll be taking maternity leave right away). To...

  6. Am I paranoid; or do all my clinical instructors dislike me?

    inland18mempire replied to cincin1's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you are preceiving something that is not there, and you are trying to use your weight as a scape goat. If that's not the case, perhaps it is your preception/attitude of "not being...

  7. Waiting for the Results of a Drug Test. I'm Freaking Out!

    inland18mempire replied to lorenwithano's topic in General Nursing

    You smoked and you know it. You wouldn't have this kind of anxiety (and now relief) over a drug test if you

  8. I'm a graduating nursing student...and I know NOTHING!!!!

    inland18mempire replied to lostinreality's topic in General Nursing

    You'll learn everything on the job. Best of luck.... Don't forget to apply to grad school soon!

  9. Will most hospitals hire a person with a bachelors dgree before a person with an ADN.

    inland18mempire replied to TrinaCNA's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    For bedside nursing, BSN vs. ADN is irrelevant. You're paid the same and do the same thing. It depends on your longterm goal. If you want to leave bedside nursing or go onto grad school, get your BSN....

  10. Scared about the NCLEX!!

    inland18mempire replied to xjenn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Take a CRNA course and you just might change your opinion on

  12. Malpractice Insurance for Nursing Student?

    inland18mempire replied to miksyrak3's topic in General Students

    I find it odd that they require you to take this. i was covered by my school as a student (and currently still am) and was told that malpractice insurance for nurses is pointless, unless you're...

  13. Scared about the NCLEX!!

    inland18mempire replied to xjenn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I guess at the time I thought it was "hard". But compared to the exams that I am taking right now/getting prepared for, which are extremely difficult, I would absolutely love to re-take something like...

  14. Loneliness in the O.R.

    inland18mempire replied to Ken83's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Sorry! That was a typo. It was meant to say posTer, not poser

  15. Mixing working and breastfeeding

    inland18mempire replied to GooeyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would NOT bring this up during the interview for two reasons: it's too much information, and the manager may view this as a negative attribute about you. Honestly, I can see why. When I'm at work...

  16. Working as a stripper AND a nurse

    inland18mempire replied to inland18mempire's topic in General Nursing

    Well, THAT certainly does make me concerned. ALL nurses make mistakes - so I guess they could ostensibly terminate a nurse for giving a med late, but deep down it's because the management is not fond...

  17. Working as a stripper AND a nurse

    inland18mempire replied to inland18mempire's topic in General Nursing

    They can fire me at will? Even if I'm

  18. Working as a stripper AND a nurse

    inland18mempire replied to inland18mempire's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the replies... even though I'm not sure most were related to my original question. Well, I don't necessarily have shame in what I am doing. Like I said, the money just isn't even comparable...

  19. Will the nursing field become saturated with new graduate nurses in a few years?

    inland18mempire replied to mariposabella's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with what someone mentioned here. I can't even begin to tell you how many former nurses I've run into. The truth is, of those that graduate, several of those will end up quitting long...

  20. Loneliness in the O.R.

    inland18mempire replied to Ken83's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Well if you're working with someone like the above poser, it's going to be quite cold. However, there are ALL types of personalities in the OR. Some are very friendly and chatty, some are just...

  21. Scared about the NCLEX!!

    inland18mempire replied to xjenn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's normal to be nervous. Just remember that the NCLEX is a basic, entry-level nursing exam, so it's pretty easy and straight forward. Best of luck to

  22. Did the TEAS test today

    inland18mempire replied to Cuety83's topic in General Students

    What is a TEAS exam? We took ATI during nursing school but they are pointless, so don't pay attention to them. I don't think they can be studied for (besides what you've already done for that...

  23. Licensing/Employment Question

    inland18mempire replied to jbjints's topic in General Students

    No, you can not work without a license. You can get a temporary license, however. You basically apply for it at the end of your last class, and they issue you that pass so you start working right...

  24. This was a question on our test today. What do you think the answer is?

    inland18mempire replied to APRNReneeJ's topic in General Students

    I would have picked D. It's the "Best answer" out of the 4. FYI, if an answer has a word such as "avoid" "NOT" "ALL" (or words simliar to that), it's usually the right answer. Assist, challenge,...

  25. Working as a stripper AND a nurse

    inland18mempire replied to inland18mempire's topic in General Nursing

    THanks for for the replies everyone. I looked at the paperwork I got with my RN job and all it says is I'm allowed to have outside employment as long as it doesn't interfere with my job as an RN....
