  1. Expelled :(

    PiedPiperRN posted a topic in General Students

    Hello, I was recently expelled from nursing school due to the fact that I ticked off the dean of nursing. The reasons that were given were "unprofessional behavior" despite the fact that I had a great...

  2. Computers + RN = Food stamps

    PiedPiperRN posted a topic in Oregon Nursing

    Warning: this is another "I need a job, what should I do?" email, so feel free to move on if you are sick of them. I swear, the next person that says something along the lines of "But isn't there a...

  3. Unethical? Illegal?

    PiedPiperRN replied to canesdukegirl's topic in General Nursing

    Are you sure that the mom bribed the nurse and didn't just pay a $50 fee for the service? I know a friend who wanted this, but she decided to just grit her teeth and have it done at teh mall, as the...

  4. Nurse Kept my Great Grandfathers wedding Ring

    PiedPiperRN replied to ladimandy's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would talk to the LVN and tell her to give the ring back. Explain that this is not ethical, that the wife is upset, and that it's plain wrong. Even if she is an unlicenced worker, she should...

  5. How I studied for the CPNE

    PiedPiperRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    The CPNE can seem a little daunting, but I feel that studying for it can be pretty straightforward. I spent about two months doing light reading for the CPNE and one month really buckling down, and I...

    PiedPiperRN replied to abrawn's topic in General Nursing

    Do NOT go to St. Luke's College in Sioux City. they are a horrible school with horrible teachers, and embarring drop-out and expulsion rate, and they are very expensive. I know a lot of people that...

  8. need help for paper

    PiedPiperRN replied to First year nursing's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    actually, it's "there" not "their". not sure about a shortage of nurses, but there is a shortage of people who can use english

  9. ADN army reserves

    PiedPiperRN replied to kimhaw's topic in Government, Military

    I had pretty much the EXACT same idea. I was going to hit the reserves, take advantage of the STRAP to get my BSN, and then join active duty. As soon as I got my graduation date, I called the...

  10. Adventist and Agnostics?

    PiedPiperRN replied to PiedPiperRN's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Well, I hope that you get the job, both ultristically because I hope you get a job, and selfishly because then you can tell me your experiences in this facility. Good luck and let me know how it...

  11. Adventist and Agnostics?

    PiedPiperRN replied to PiedPiperRN's topic in Oregon Nursing

    elkpark, I would be happy to work at the type of institution that you talk about, but the statements by 2011 graduate paint a very different picture. I have too worked at places with different...

  14. Did you love your RN-BSN research paper? What was it on?

    PiedPiperRN posted a topic in General Students

    it really bothers me when people post their assignments on this board and ask others to answer them, essentially asking thier peers to do their homework. therefore i had an internal debate on posting...

  15. Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

    PiedPiperRN replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

    What I would like to say to one or two my RN instructors would probably get me banned from allnurses due to inapproriate content that would make a hooker blush... I'm glad to see that many of you...

  16. what is the answer to this question

    PiedPiperRN replied to avery0603's topic in General Students

    I would say that the greatest cause of asthma in this case is just asking other people to do the homework and not getting off the butt to find the answer for

  17. Confusing Test.. and Teachers who say the book is wrong..

    PiedPiperRN replied to alwayschanging's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    No offense, but I think that your teacher is an idiot. If the rectum isn't part of the GI, then what body system, exactly, does she think that it DOES belong to? Unfortuantly, I have to agree with...

    Take a calculator!!! One will NOT be provided for you!! (Yes, I learned that the hard way. In my program we were not allowed to use our own calculators, so I just got used to never bringing one with...

  22. Excelsior - TAKING TOO LONG :(

    PiedPiperRN replied to j1l4d's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Excelsior is a great program with many good points but their speed is not one of them. You can start studying now for your exams, so that when you are accepted, you can start to take them right way....

  23. Excelsior RN programs

    PiedPiperRN replied to kjecow's topic in Online Distance Learning

    PiedPiperRN replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    Drug tests are pretty good. There isn't too much that can throw them off. Even with poppy seeds, you would need to eat a ton of them to get a positive result. If it were a matter of taking an...
