    Nurse Leigh replied to venousr3tuRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I'm still stuck on the part where you said you only got three (3!!) days of orientation. That just doesn't sound right. I'm sure working in LTC gave you some great time mgmt and prioritizing skills...

    Nurse Leigh replied to Healerforlife's topic in General Nursing

  11. foot check on diabetic at dialysis clinic

    Nurse Leigh replied to Healerforlife's topic in General Nursing

    I specified that it would require a separate (appropriate) area. I just think it seems there needs to be more access to foot and nail care for diabetic

  18. Failing nclex 6 times

    Nurse Leigh replied to F8112014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh brother. Actually, passing NCLEX is what makes you a nurse. And obviously not everyone can pass. Not everyone is meant to be a nurse. This is getting ridiculous. The NCLEX is *minimal competency*...

  19. Failing nclex 6 times

    Nurse Leigh replied to F8112014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  24. I hate nursing school (and it is not because it is hard)

    Nurse Leigh replied to baleen's topic in General Students

    Perhaps your "top" school isn't as awesome as you say,

  25. The sloppy image of nurses today

    Nurse Leigh replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Some parts of this I don't quite believe. I mean, I heard Matthew McConaughey and Brad Pitt haven't always showered much/used deodorant. They still have to beat women off with a stick. And...
