  1. Duke Nursing, how do I pay for it !!!

    roser13 replied to cje1015's topic in General Nursing

    You are correct, a lot of the kids do manage to find the money. Are you in a position to earn a sports, music or academic scholarship? Do you have wealthy parents who will pay for your education? As...

  2. Duke Nursing, how do I pay for it !!!

    roser13 replied to cje1015's topic in General Nursing

    Take a good hard look at the numerous threads here that essentially say the same thing: "I'm a new grad/old new grad/experienced nurse and I can't find a job." In particular, look closely at the job...

  3. Obesity: A disease or a lifestyle

    roser13 replied to TexMex22's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Well, according to your answer, I must be one of the more dysfunctional or challenged I'll buy

  4. Obesity: A disease or a lifestyle

    roser13 replied to TexMex22's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I SERIOUSLY do not ask this to stir up a ****storm, but here are my 2 questions. I have wondered this for years: 1) If obesity is a disease, why did our ancestors not seem to have it? In all of the...

  5. Wow. Just wow

    roser13 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    It sure does. Hell hath no fury (or righteous indigation) like a pre-nursing

  6. Obesity: A disease or a lifestyle

    roser13 replied to TexMex22's topic in Health, Stress Management

    "I have to admit I've wondered who is paying for all of these surgeries? I have yet to see an episode where ANYONE in the family is employed. The caregivers are not employed and obviously none of the...

  7. Obesity: A disease or a lifestyle

    roser13 replied to TexMex22's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I watch that show regularly. One of my main take-aways is always astonishment at whoever is playing the role of the Enabler. There is always one primary enabler, usually mom, boyfriend or husband....

  8. Wow. Just wow

    roser13 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    My thought exactly. It would never occur to me to string a co-worker up like that. Report a med error through proper channels? Of course. But take it upon myself to include the error in a legal...

  9. Newly hired nurse

    roser13 replied to Walkingbad's topic in General Nursing

    It really would have been better if you had brought this up as a part of your acceptance of the position. That's when these issues are usually raised and resolved. At this point, only your...

  11. I passed California NCLEX in 2008,but i did not do anything coz I don't have ssn

    roser13 replied to ver_gregr's topic in Nurse Registration

    It's amazing to me that someone can sit for a national professional licensure exam without a social security number. As has been said, passing NCLEX was just the beginning. You must have obtained...

  13. Regarding chronic tardiness

    roser13 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Well, good luck with your life plan. Apparently you still somehow reap a reward of some sort. Enough to outweigh inconvenience & poor grades. Saying "idk, it's just part of who I am" ensures...

  14. Regarding chronic tardiness

    roser13 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    You are an enabler. Forcing the entire family to adjust timeframes to ONE family member is both enabling to the offender and instructive to the rest of the family. "Daddy can't be trusted to be on...

    roser13 replied to PYV21's topic in General Nursing

  20. Day Surgery Center Nurses: How do you like your job?

    roser13 replied to pamgri's topic in General Nursing

    Only look at ASC's that are under the umbrella of a major system. The pay scale will be the same as the hospital's. I love my ASC! Going on 11 years now. But as in the hospital, patients are sicker...

  24. RN ADN vs. RN BSN

    roser13 replied to BIGT68's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    How about using the Search feature in the upper right corner of any page on this forum? I would venture to guess that this is the single-most talked about subject on the forum. You will find miles...

    roser13 replied to conway1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused: How many hours were you there? At what time were you promised relief? At what time did you notify the DON (or whoever you were communicating with) that you had a medical emergency? At...
