    HELP. I plan to major in Nursing but one problem: I don't like science.

    wooh replied to loveangie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Because just following orders leads to GREAT patient outcomes. (To be clear, that was sarcasm.) If you don't like science, why do you want to be a nurse? You want to make someone better, you need to...

    Requiring a BSN degree for an ADN scope of practice

    wooh replied to Gentleman_nurse's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Your choice to not sacrifice for your profession does show that your value to the profession should be less. I'm far from a martyr, but a four year degree is far from asking you to become Mother...

    Bedtime and daily are two different things. Giving a med between 0600 and 1145 would be "daily." But it wouldn't be "bedtime." (Well, it would often be MY

    White Coat Ceremony for Nurses

    wooh replied to OCNRN63's topic in General Nursing

    I'll admit it. I don't want to wear a freaking hat. A freaking cap. A freaking toboggan. A freaking beanie. A freaking scarf. I don't want to wear something on my head. Why not wear wizard hats? That...

    Holiday Scheduling - how to make it fair

    wooh replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Nursing

    That's great if your family is in town. If your family is out of town, you NEVER get to spend any holiday ever with them. Each holiday is a block. Rotate the blocks. Of course, you can just make...

    Requiring a BSN degree for an ADN scope of practice

    wooh replied to Gentleman_nurse's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    So is it necessary to respond to that with telling those that have a BSN that their extra time in school is worthless and only taught them to write a paper in APA format? The arguments are always,...

    New Way to Guess Test Outcome!

    It's just as good as listing the number of whatever type of questions you got and how many questions it was when it turned off.

    On Negative Feedback

    wooh replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Agree. Praise for just showing up is not necessary to be tactful. It's not lacking in tact for me to not say to a new coworker, "You showed up on time!!! Yayyyyy!!!!" and then mentally checklist a...

    But tell us, did you post to allnurses asking if the trick was real? If not, you didn't fulfill all the requirements of the PVT and likely aren't actually a real nurse as you suspect that you are....

    The 48 hours that I had to wait for results were absolutely the worst of my life. Much worse than my divorce. So much worse than losing family members. If only I'd had the PVT, then a true life...

    What Docs Don't Understand About Nurses

    Of course, medicine protects their entry to only highly qualified applicants. Nursing lets in practically anyone. In theory, that means there should be fewer unqualified people that make it through...
