  1. Clinical educator has made me depressed.

    Um, because it's the truth? Keep in mind that your clinical instructor is there to evaluate your progress. It is clear you lack confidence; you are depressed because your clinical instructor did her...
  2. Was my professor out of line?

    She was out of line when she asked about your religion. That's not her business. But, the priority thing.... well, a little white lie never hurt anyone. If I were you, I would have just told her...
  3. The HARD Truth for most nurses

    OK, let's not get carried away. As nurses, the job of a CNA is integrated into our work which is part of the reason why we're so busy. I would never chase down a busy CNA or tech if I can just do the...
  4. HELP! failed pre-reqs

    The prerequisite courses are the foundation in nursing and everything builds on understanding the material learned in those courses. Is there a reason your grades were low? Family issues?...
  5. CNAs have a license? Like others have stated, if you signed/clocked in, it can be considered patient abandonment. In these cases, it is best to do your shift and then simply quit
  6. This really brings up a serious issue. During nursing school, I had a friend who was attracted to the med-surg nursing instructor/lecturer (Mr. XYZ). She was in his med-surg 1 clinical rotation by...
  7. Clinical is not a match-making service. You're in clinical to develop your skills, not develop a relationship. If you can't focus on honing your skills as a nurse, please get out now. Too many nursing...
  8. I was told that we should be getting a notification by the end of March. Also, they said if we don't get a notification by April 1st, contact the
  9. I think we should be hearing back any day now! So
  10. Need some help deciding on which route to take...

    Two semesters will breeze by fast. If you absolutely must become a nurse now because of life reasons then go for your LPN. But, if you are capable of going through the RN route, then just do
  11. I guess it really sucks that I'm scarfing down a cheeseburger while reading these posts. Dang it, I missed lunch and breakfast
  12. I am afraid of Anatomy and Physiology

    This. It's more cost-effective to just get your RN. You should research more. You will be limited in choosing where you want to work. Unless LTC and similar working environments are where you want to...
  13. Students who get As are bad bedside nurses

    There are many different types of students. Nursing doesn't only use the brain, so it's possible for students to be good at one thing and bad at another. For example, some students who have...
  14. I'm not a woman or obese, yet I don't see why you feel the need to pass
  15. Legally how many doses can a nurse hold?

  16. The Fat One

    If I'm trying to describe you, and you don't have any physical characteristics that clearly stand out, I would say "The black, Spanish
  17. To tell or not to tell!

    It's something called workplace culture. When the state comes around to do their survey, you'll be surprised by how things will turn around. However, it seems you work in a very laid-back environment...
  18. The Fat One

    She should have just said obese. See what I just did there
  19. Being Bullied

    I think this is happening more often now, too. It's more of an inexperienced-eats-experienced-nurse era now. I recently had an interview for a management position at a city hospital (I didn't get it)....
  20. The Fat One

    Agreed. Describing someone as fat is hurtful. It doesn't matter if they are or not. I wonder if English is the charge nurse's first
  21. Being Bullied

    Let's not be so quick to throw the "She's more beautiful/younger than I am so I'm going to make her life hell" situations out the window. It happens in every profession, including nursing. I'm not...
  22. I HATE Nurse Practitioners

    Wow, I'm sorry about your situation. I decided not to push it; like many of you have said, it wouldn't make a difference. I think it's really crazy when ego drives a business rather than logic and...
  23. I am NOT a Nurse...

    Wait so it's illegal for the LPN to call themselves a nurse even though it's in their title. I do believe there should be some distinction between the LPN and RN title so that the public can...
  24. Not getting charge nurse position

    I'm going through the same thing at my psych job. TWICE, they have chosen someone else over me . Freaking politics . But back to you OP. I feel as though you should have gotten the position based on...
  25. I am NOT a Nurse...

    Honestly, its not a big deal. You corrected him once. Some residents call me the aide and call the aides the nurse. It happens. As long as you introduce yourself as Mary Sue, CNA, you're good. A lot...
