  1. Cannot stand director

    Nurse Leigh replied to leo8686's topic in General Students

    Hmmm...well, OP, after giving it some consideration, I am wondering if the problem is not the director being unable to teach, but is instead you being unable (or unwilling) to

  7. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Nurse Leigh replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I realize this thread was focused on the influenza vaccine but seeing as so many posts have touched on other immunizations, I hope it is okay to post this

  8. Walking from school at night with deer and no street lamps?

    Nurse Leigh replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in General Students

    So sorry! Yes, you are correct - my car was struck by two deers. (That was difficult to

  9. Walking from school at night with deer and no street lamps?

    Nurse Leigh replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in General Students

    In high school, I was driving down my road, very close to home when BAM! not one but TWO (2!) deer hit the car at once. One hit the hood and the other smashed right behind the passenger door frame....

  12. 8/22 What I learned this week....

    Nurse Leigh replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah I'm not sure what happened there...perhaps my inner snark was showing too much? But I think we need a place to vent about some of the silliness and ridiculous stuff we encounter here.... I...

  15. Certified nursing assistants not welcome!

    Nurse Leigh replied to Barbie8808's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Ummmm......what? 8 weeks for nursing school? The poster in question specified RNs who can be trained at the diploma level (rare but historically diploma programs graduated some awesome nurses)...

  17. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Nurse Leigh replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    People who legitimately cannot take it are one of the main reasons for the push for everyone else to get it - to protect those who can't. (I'm tired, and that sentence just sounds wrong to me. Hope...

  18. Price of Patient Satisfaction

    Nurse Leigh replied to knoxnurse236's topic in General Nursing

    I hear (and have said) that pts and their families seem to think they are at a hotel instead of a hospital. The truth is, though, if a hotel guest behaved the way that gentleman did, he would likely...

    Gotcha. I've seen many people post their thoughts on various review programs - you might try to search them out here to see which might be a good fit for you. Best of luck to

  22. 5 years out of school is it still hopes that I can pass Nclex???

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

    I'm confused. Are you a current LPN who graduated from an LPN to RN bridge program and need to pass NCLEX-RN? That would maybe make a difference in the advice you get. (If you are trying to pass...

  23. Nurses with pedometers - How far do you walk?

    Nurse Leigh replied to ixchel's topic in Health, Stress Management

    ^^ Thanks. I was afraid that might be the case. Galaxy S5 has a built-in app that counts steps. Not too accurately though -it thought I was doing some serious walking while I was on the riding...
