  1. Need advice

    Curious_53 replied to redhead_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Granted, I am just a student right now, but the above comments seem extremely outrageous, rude, and unnecessary! If you aren't comfortable doing something, speak up - that's fair. There is a...

  2. This probably belongs in NCLEX discussion but I need some STAT support!!

    Curious_53 replied to NurseBreezy's topic in General Nursing

    Best of luck! You'll do wonderfully! Stay

  3. Ignorant Stupid Patients

    Curious_53 replied to KY RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's all well and good to look at calories but you need to look at fat content too. There are very few salads that have less than 9g of fat in them - that's a huge amount! I mean, the hamburger has...

  4. Ignorant Stupid Patients

    Curious_53 replied to KY RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So, I'm not really sure how I feel about this idea or not... but IF i were for it... how on earth would you track something like that? How do you measure effort? What if, as someone suggested about...

  5. Witnessed car crash, now feeling guilty

    Curious_53 replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    That is so terrifying! I would have never thought that someone would be so low as to do something like

  6. Clarification Please?!

    Curious_53 replied to Someday2bRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think I know what it means, but I can only think of how to put it in an example If I take the NCLEX in NH then the license is also good for practice in ME, VT, and MA - thus it is a compact state...

  7. Looking to move to NH or ME

    Curious_53 replied to MassED's topic in General Nursing

    Have you checked out York, ME at all? That's a gorgeous hospital, but I'm not really sure about their hiring status at all... There is also Wentworth-Douglass... Frisbee... (both of those are NH)......

  8. Can I still get the job?

    Curious_53 replied to misserella8036's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations!!!

  9. Honesty during the interview

    Curious_53 replied to JohnUNF's topic in General Nursing

    That's a really interesting dilemma. I think if it were me I'd ditch the honest answer and go with what you know they want to hear (i.e. I want to help people, care for them in their time of need...

  10. STNA

    Curious_53 replied to Akr_Chels's topic in General Nursing

    Just like in New Hampshire we have LNA (liscenced nurse's aide) and not CNA :) I was so confused when I started school in New York

  11. 40,0000 for RN program

    Curious_53 replied to tiffdeandre's topic in General Nursing

    I failed to mention that I do get a scholarship for keeping my GPA at least a 3.3. I get 15000 a year for that, so it takes 60000 off of my over-all total (and brings my yearly down to about 25000)....

  12. 40,0000 for RN program

    Curious_53 replied to tiffdeandre's topic in General Nursing

    The college that I am going to to receive my RN (Bachelor's) is up to 42,000 this year. It goes up about 2 grand a year (it was 40,000 when I started) so it will probably be about 46,000 for my last...

  13. So smart they are dumb?

    Curious_53 replied to Uniquemoi04's topic in General Nursing

    Man that's just

  14. Can I still get the job?

    Curious_53 replied to misserella8036's topic in General Nursing

    I think you still have a chance! If it were me I think I'd apologize and briefly explain the nature of the emergency, so they have a way to understand why you had to reschedule. And even tell them...

  15. Pre-hypertension--- systolic BP 120-139?

    Curious_53 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Lol! I took my bp on one of those machines at a Wal-mart recently. I can't remember the exact numbers but the machine kindly informed me that I had hypertension! I sincerly doubt that I have...

  16. Man-Flu....the Untold Facts....

    Curious_53 replied to nurz2be's topic in Nursing Humor

    LOL Thanks for sharing, I needed the

  17. how long should I wait before I call

    Curious_53 replied to SleeplessNCA's topic in General Nursing

    If it were me I would call Wednesday afternoon if I hadn't heard anything - gratz

  18. My God, these family members!!

    Curious_53 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Mailing letters? Is that even allowed? At the hospital I worked at (as a receptionist before nursing school) the only mailbox was outside... I wouldn't think a nurse would be allowed to mail...

  19. Happy Easter!

    Curious_53 replied to Teebee5's topic in General Nursing

    Have a very Happy Easter everyone I hope that everyone gets to spend it with their family and close

  20. LPN and RN: What are the differences?

    Curious_53 replied to dRkazN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually I am from New Hampshire and I had never heard of a CNA until I came to New York. I think that they are supposed to be the same as LNA

  21. LPN and RN: What are the differences?

    Curious_53 replied to dRkazN's topic in General Nursing

    What is an LVN? I've never heard of this before... also I don't really understand the differences between CNA and LNA and LPN... Thanks

  22. Which drug handbook do you suggest?

    Curious_53 replied to amybaby2's topic in General Nursing

    Anything by Mosby is wonderful, I absolutely swear by mine, and that is what my instructor and fellow classmates (who are farther on in the program) recommended to me

  23. Should I quit my job before nursing school?

    Curious_53 replied to TrinaCNA's topic in General Nursing

    I currently work about 18 hours a week while in NS. It is really hard, for sure, but it's possible. There is not a lot of free time, but at least I have somewhat of a pay check and I am still...

  24. Quit LTC after 6 weeks and without notice

    Curious_53 replied to iwanna's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You did the right thing, don't be so hard on yourself. Your daughter is, and will always be, your number one priority. You did what you did because you are a wonderful parent and responsible nurse....

  25. 3 dui's in mi

    Curious_53 replied to lifeistweet's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Wow. I can't even tell you how furious that statement makes me. I have never and will never get behind the wheel of a car drinking. My father was an alcoholic. He drunk drove with me in the back...
