  1. I'm a nut case and about to apply for licensure in Texas

    noahsmama replied to ffliper27's topic in Texas Nursing

    If you were not diagnosed with one of the conditions that they list, you can truthfully answer "no". So answer "no". They are not going to check the medical records of every applicant for licensure --...

  2. Planning to get RN, should I get my BSN?

    noahsmama replied to TiffCNA's topic in General Nursing

    I have a BS in a different field and went the accelerated BSN route for nursing school. I'm really glad I did! I was applying to both ADN and BSN programs and had decided to go to whichever school I...

  3. What's the easiest job you've ever had?

    noahsmama replied to cbcle's topic in General Nursing

    Easiest non-nursing job: cashier in a local grocery store. I worked at the neighborhood store when I was in high school, so I knew probably half the people who came into the store. Worked evenings...

  4. I'm an Idiot....

    noahsmama replied to ChristineN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm another person who had to make the almost 2 hour drive each way to my state capitol in order to get my license renewed so as not to miss any shifts at work. Lesson learned, and for my next...

  5. 2.5% annual raise - should I be as irritated as I am?

    noahsmama replied to iLOVEbees's topic in General Nursing

    I would love to get a 2.5% raise, or to get any raise at all. Even though I love my current job and hope to stay here, like others I have considered job-hopping to get more money. Not sure what I...

  6. Tell interviewer about nursing school??

    noahsmama replied to Dre2416's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with those who say don't tell them. You haven't been accepted yet -- hopefully you will be but if not, at least you'll have a job! Good

  7. Salary for clinic position?

    noahsmama replied to TheOracle's topic in General Nursing

    If you're being promoted, then you should get more pay, not less - period! Whatever you're making now, add 15% to it and tell her that you won't accept a penny less for a job with more responsibility...

  8. Help me choose...

    noahsmama replied to LuxCalidaNP's topic in General Nursing

    You haven't even started yet at the per diem job, right? I would work at least a few weeks at both jobs before making any decisions. Sounds like you're expecting to like the new job, but you never...

  9. Saline in a bottle not for injection?

    noahsmama replied to Hushi05's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps it contains more trace elements than the kind that's used for injections? Also, it seems to me that it would be harder to maintain sterility while drawing it up in a syringe if you're taking...

  10. What did you find helpful in preparing for NCLEX?

    noahsmama replied to Very tired student's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I bought a pack of NCLEX flash cards (by Mosby, I think), and did practice questions for as many hours a day as I could stand. I always read the rationale for what was the "best" answer, even on the...

  11. Are California nurses staying with their job longer because of lower nursing to patie

    noahsmama replied to Anggelica's topic in California Nursing

    As a relatively new California nurse, I can tell you that I don't think I could be a nurse at all in any state that doesn't have ratio laws, at least not an acute care nurse. I never had more than 4...

  12. Bad Experience with Nurses at hospital, rethinking my major now.

    noahsmama replied to Lindsey-Student's topic in General Nursing

    I've never worked in an ED, but twice in the past few years I've been a patient in a very busy ED at one local hospital, and my son was a pt in a different ED a couple of times. Everyone treated us...

  13. What are the 12 languages for nursing?

    noahsmama replied to Zaptastic's topic in General Nursing

    Just did a bit of googling on this. They're not talking about "languages" such as English, Spanish, etc. What they're talking about is standardized language to be used by nurses, such as the NANDA...

  14. I wasn't hired because I failed the personality test???

    noahsmama replied to loveishope's topic in General Nursing

    I've always believed that HR departments are more of a hindrance than a help in hiring good people, and this story is just one of many that proves it. God forbid that you should have people who...

  15. Which schedule would use choose?

    noahsmama replied to Gratefulprn's topic in General Nursing

    Which one would I choose? I would choose the 3rd job, in fact, that pretty much describes the job I have, because it fits best with my child's school schedule. Which one should you choose? It...

  16. I LOVE nursing, and I LOVE allnurses

    noahsmama replied to SweetseRN's topic in General Nursing

    I love my job too, and I fully expect to still love it 7 years from now when I will have been a nurse for 10 years. Of course I guess I can't know that for sure, but I will be sure to let you all...

  17. Disappearing threads?

    noahsmama replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    The other thing to keep in mind is that sometimes threads that are not nursing related get moved to AN Central. That's a separate forum for AN members to post about non-nursing related topics. To...

  18. What is the meaning of immunization status readiness enhanced?

    noahsmama replied to chicksy's topic in General Nursing

    This is an excellent example of why I'm glad I'm no longer in nursing school and no longer have to deal with "nursing diagnoses". What BS! OP, I'm sure you can google it as well as any of the rest...

  19. Listing jobs on Application?

    noahsmama replied to fencikboy's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would leave off the CNA job and only list your last 10 to 15 years of employment. At age 49 when I was applying for my first nursing job, I did not think they needed to know that I worked as a...

  20. Now that I've found my calling ...

    noahsmama replied to morecoffeepls's topic in General Nursing

    I have a high school friend who is making well over $200K in the pharmaceutical industry as a doctorate-prepared nurse. I think she helps design clinical studies for new drugs? Something like that....

  21. Gasp! An uninsured Nurse (rant)

    noahsmama replied to optimist's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wouldn't it be wonderful if you really could bar these things? Of course the problem is that you can't. That's the whole point of having insurance! My sister was a perfectly healthy 27 year old...

  22. SCHEDULING/WEEKENDS

    noahsmama replied to apriloglesby's topic in General Nursing

    At the hospital I used to work at, nurses with 20 or more years of seniority didn't have to work weekends at all (though some of them still chose to). Everyone else worked every other weekend. This...

  23. Combining ADN and Bachelor Biology?

    noahsmama replied to pradachick's topic in General Students

    You've already posted this question previously and have already gotten responses: https://allnurses.com/registered-nurses-diploma/continue-education-bachelor-613383.html You're not going to get any...

  24. I'm so sorry guys I did not want to create all this mess

    noahsmama replied to mon74's topic in General Nursing

    You want to talk to us so bad that it makes me wish I spoke Italian!!! No need to

  25. Wedding vs. Nursing Schedule

    noahsmama replied to NurseRN83's topic in General Nursing

    If I understand it correctly, you're turning down the benefits package -- a significant financial hit -- in order to have the right to take off as many days as you want with a 30 day notice. So, take...
