  1. Paramedics saying they are nurses---is this legal?

    erjunkie8 replied to nursebrandie28's topic in Emergency

    WOW!! These are some big concerns. I would table the subject to the Nurse managers. I myself am an EMT with a degree in Emergency Med. I have always supported medics in the ER and the vital role. The...

  2. jewelry in the labor suite?

    erjunkie8 replied to oramar's topic in Ob/Gyn

  3. Anyone REGRET going into L&D as a new grad??

    erjunkie8 replied to emptybee's topic in Ob/Gyn

  4. Question about clinical experience

    erjunkie8 replied to hopefornursing's topic in General Students

    I don't think you did anything wrong. If the charge nurse had an issue with it she should have told the instructor. I can see her point but another thing is you are in school, you are learning and...

    erjunkie8 replied to princeza28's topic in General Students

  6. Tired of EMS thinking they can walk in!

    erjunkie8 replied to TraumaNurseRN's topic in Emergency

    I have found that it is very unfortunate that there is so much hostility between nurses and EMS. It seems that it is only in some areas and some of us actually work together. There are many blogs...

  7. Team Nursing with Paramedics........

    erjunkie8 replied to CEN35's topic in Emergency

    erjunkie8 replied to FML431's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  11. Failed NCLEX-RN with 85 questions, too much experience??

    erjunkie8 replied to erjunkie8's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    well I can respect your honesty. I think that there is a difference between cocky and confident. I am by no means one of those "know it all" kind of people. In fact I never told any of my preceptors...

  12. Is Kaplan helpful?

    erjunkie8 replied to etxyz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have heard so much that I just believe that what works is what works for you. Kaplan may not work for me but great for you. Suzanne's plan may work for me and not you. You just have to take a feel...

    erjunkie8 replied to erjunkie8's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    how did you get through mental health? Is there maybe a different way you could suggest I learn it? Again, it's such a matter of opinion. MH is one of those things where the patients are just very...

  17. Is Kaplan helpful?

    erjunkie8 replied to etxyz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am not sure if it was due to the holidays and things slipping through the cracks which is the reason I didn't get the books or online information in time. The only thing they emailed was the class...

  23. Is Kaplan helpful?

    erjunkie8 replied to etxyz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kaplan was a joke. The gave us an international teacher who passed her NCLEX not even 2 months prior. She was confusing, hard to understand and not able to take control of the class and answer clear...
