  2. ADN's being pushed out

    Nurse Leigh replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think many *would have* initially opted to pursue a BSN if we had not already earned a bachelors (or even higher) in another field. I know there are the often quoted studies which show improved pt...

  3. I need to know common spanish terms.

    Nurse Leigh replied to laylayluv90's topic in General Nursing

    Medical Spanish by MAVRO is a pretty cool app. It is divided into sections like introduction, pain assessment, respiratory, pt history, etc. It will even "speak" the phrases for you, most of which...

  5. Proper undergarments under WHITE PANTS

    Nurse Leigh replied to Purple Lady's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    This reminds me of a story told to us in clinical back in nursing school. One day a student asked if anyone had a tampon. No one did, but the clinical instructor offered her a sanitary pad from the...

  6. how many patients

    Nurse Leigh replied to melcolbstorm's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    :what: In what world do nurses have this power?? Trust me, in most places, nurses are overworked and stretched too thin just like the techs - and some places either don't utilize techs/CNAs at all or...

  10. UPS Drivers make HOW much????

    Nurse Leigh replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    When I left my last job (after nearly five years) I was making under $20 so it sort of burns my toast a little when people say nurses make over $85000 as though that is the norm. I assure you it...

  12. I cannot ever seem to pass my NCLEX!!! No matter what I do and how hard I try!!

    Nurse Leigh replied to jjgrlh0318's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think what really frustrates me is that NURSING SCHOOL should prepare a student for NCLEX. I find it worrisome that some people rely so heavily on review courses, one after another, as though they...

  15. One thing I learned today is that honesty will get you nowhere in Nursing School.

    Nurse Leigh replied to guest08/05/2014's topic in General Students

    When you only see the world in black or white, you are blind to a whole lot of things. Just because honesty is the best policy, it does not mean the result/consequence will be to your liking. OP...

    Nurse Leigh replied to Dean7's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  22. You think the "Nursing Glut" is bad now?

    Nurse Leigh replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    They make less than $20 to start here in my part of the Midwest. Of course, the not for profit network pays more (though still under 20) than the for profit

    Nurse Leigh replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Students

    Oh don't you worry Considering we actually are Licensed/Registered Nurses, I highly doubt you will ever join our ranks. Also, please strike "I seen it." from your vocabulary. Try "I saw it." Doesn't...
