  1. FLAME ON!

    Nurse Leigh replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    ^^ Did you see my earlier suggestion that people should be required to read one of your instructional posts and then pass a quiz before posting PVT

  2. FLAME ON!

    Nurse Leigh replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    ^^^ Have I mentioned you are my hero for responding to all those PVT

  3. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Nurse Leigh replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I will say I've learned a lot from this thread. Not the least of which is how frightening it is to know there are practicing nurses who eschew science and

  4. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Nurse Leigh replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Would measles OR a free MR vaccine be more appropriate in this

  5. FLAME ON!

    Nurse Leigh replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    That was an EPIC thread. Miss

  6. FLAME ON!

    Nurse Leigh replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't being a CRNA just sitting there while the patient sleeps during surgery? What is all sciencey about that? I don't want to do it if it is real work...I just want to make a lot of money. Don't...

  7. Don't be that Nurse

    Nurse Leigh replied to CNAEdd29's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Clearly, a pt doesn't suddenly weigh less just because it is a tech doing the care; your back is just as susceptible in injury as mine. I totally agree that if the nurse assigned to the pt can...

  8. Don't be that Nurse

    Nurse Leigh replied to CNAEdd29's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It wasn't an attack; I asked for clarification. The post discussed CNAS and the word "we" was used. In that context it certainly seemed as though the poster was speaking as a CNA. I know there are...

  9. FLAME ON!

    Nurse Leigh replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    And I just got griped at in another thread because I pointed out a different user wrongly used nurse in their name. It was in another of my pet peeve threads about how nurses don't help CNAs, written...

  10. Don't be that Nurse

    Nurse Leigh replied to CNAEdd29's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It is against TOS to use nurse in your name when you haven't legally earned the right to do so. That is not an assumption. Thanks for changing your name.

  11. Don't be that Nurse

    Nurse Leigh replied to CNAEdd29's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Are you an RN or LPN? It doesn't sound like you are. If not you should change your name. Also, do you realize how many nurses have 5, 6, 7, or even 8+ patients who are acutely I'll and have no techs...

  12. why do nurses need to be licensed?

    Nurse Leigh replied to Infofreak411's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I keep reading these threads about how unfair it is that someone needs to pass NCLEX in order to become a nurse, or shock that many of us think there should be a cap on how many attempts one has to...

  13. FLAME ON!

    Nurse Leigh replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Remember those threads like "Things I Wish I Could Tell My Patients.....And Get Away With It?"? This thread reminds me how I've often considered starting one like this: "Things I Wish I Could Say to...

  14. Did You Get CCRN Certified Without ICU Experience?

    Nurse Leigh replied to PacoUSA's topic in Critical Care

    It is my understanding that one needs so many hours of critical care experience to take the test. Correct me if I'm

  15. Failed 5th time is there God I can't study anymore!!!!!!!!

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

    *shaking head* It's like a train

  16. Failed 5th time is there God I can't study anymore!!!!!!!!

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

    Now I think this has really gone off the deep end......Bodily threats?

  17. Failed 5th time is there God I can't study anymore!!!!!!!!

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

    Well, yes I am serious, and I fail to see how it was

  18. Failed 5th time is there God I can't study anymore!!!!!!!!

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

    I've noticed that most people who are advocating for limited attempts and required remediation are those who have passed boards and have experience as practicing nurses. We are trying to protect our...

  19. Waiting game..

    Nurse Leigh replied to brittney2831's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yep, I agree with RNsRWe. Pretty sure you passed. Congratulations! Glad I am not in a state with a wait time for results like Cali. My state board had my name and license posted the day after I took...

  20. Failed 5th time is there God I can't study anymore!!!!!!!!

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

    Not to be nitpicky, but wouldn't "most physicians" statistically mean more than half? And I doubt most physicians require multiple attempts and certainly hope their governing boards would keep track...

  21. Failed 5th time is there God I can't study anymore!!!!!!!!

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

    No, there is nothing wrong with taking a review course. However, I see many posters here who have attempted the NCLEX multiple times and have taken several review courses and still have yet to pass....

  22. Failed 5th time is there God I can't study anymore!!!!!!!!

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

    Well, passing the NCLEX certainly determines whether or not one becomes an RN. Passing the NCLEX means one has demonstrated minimal competency standards. Most nurses (85%-90% I believe) pass the first...

  23. male nurse problems..

    Nurse Leigh replied to 2bnurseDuties's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^^See OP's reply to another poster. I'm getting a definite "poor attempt at humor"

  24. do you wash your hair every day?

    Nurse Leigh replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    White girl with thin, fine, straight hair here. I also use Wen and don't wash daily. My hair use to be quite oily but this improved once I stopped washing so often. Like other posters mentioned,...

  25. Mandatory flu shots????

    Nurse Leigh replied to 45whenimdone's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I know I posted this in another thread, but I thought it would go well with the other videos posted here. (Yes this is the sanitized version ) Penn Teller Vaccine - Clean
