  1. Does the bad pop up for Pearson Vue mean you fail?

    canigraduate replied to Smiller0332's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No. They've monkeyed with the system. It is unreliable now. This is from before they monkeyed with the system. Let me repeat, the PVT is unreliable now. Wait the 48 hours for the quick results and pay...

  2. Reasons patients turn on their call light

    canigraduate replied to diamondp17's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm ashamed. Feel better? No? Then why post stuff like that? If the answer is yes, you got problems that I can't solve. Are you ashamed for shaming? No? You should be. There isn't much on this thread...

  3. Become a Nurse without Nursing School

    canigraduate replied to Longa's topic in General Nursing

    Ooooh, that's awesome. I hate loud TVs. I don't particularly like TV to start with, but having it shoved in my face and stabbed into my ears is

  10. How to keep a quiet environment on the night shift

    canigraduate replied to Lobe220's topic in General Nursing

    1) Turn down the volume on pumps and alarms to the minimum safe level. I can't tell you how many times I've had patients be awakened by screeching alarms that day shift had turned up to the max. 2)...

  11. I need to know if I have the right to refuse care

    canigraduate replied to Penguins11's topic in General Nursing

  16. I need to know if I have the right to refuse care

    canigraduate replied to Penguins11's topic in General Nursing

    The right to refuse is limited to people in full command of their faculties. The nurse cannot force you to do anything, as that means physical compulsion. You gave in. Whether it was to coercion or...

  19. Become a Nurse without Nursing School

    canigraduate replied to Longa's topic in General Nursing

    You must be nicer than most of us. If I don't get a "Screw you, and your little dog, too!" or have the poor horse I rode in on killed at least once a month, I check to see if my Dad has been...

    canigraduate replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

  23. I'm a sexless nurse

    canigraduate replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    canigraduate replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Another thing, please use the quote function so we know who you're replying to. This came out of nowhere. Combine this with your vagueness and strange posts and now I'm too frustrated trying to figure...

    canigraduate replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing
