Surprised more people aren't commenting about this. Sorry, but this POS needs to be put down. 🤬 https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/24/us/dallas-hospital-shooting-suspect-Monday "...After accusing his girlfriend of cheating, Hernandez began se...

Most common drugs on my floor are dilaudid, dilaudid, and...um...oh yeah, dilaudid.

Keep your chin up and keep plugging away. I was you a year ago and wondering what I had gotten myself into. They say it takes 6 mos to a year for a new grad nurse to start feeling somewhat comfortable. I know it may feel like you are overwhelmed at ...

For the last month or so the local paper down here in NOLA has been running this ad weekly for the Navy: http://jobs.nola.com/careers/jobsearch/detail?jobId=37781258&viewType=main&networkView=main Was wondering what scuttlebutt any of you cur...

Royal Blue for RNs at my facility as well. We have to have the hospital logo embroidered on the scrub top, which that and the scrubs themselves come out of our own pocket, but we are allowed to buy anywhere and in any style. I prefer Dickies Gen Flex...

Hey guys, End of my orientation is coming up soon. I was wondering if any of you gave a small gift to your preceptor, and, if so, what was it? Looking for some ideas.

Louisiana is fast also. Pretty much as soon as our school confirms our graduation to the state board, they approve temp licenses for us to work under RN supervision until we pass the NCLEX.Results are quick also. I took the test yesterday at 1pm. Bee...

Took test Tuesday 2/11/14 at 1pm. Cut off at 75. Got the good pop-up checking the site in my car in the parking lot soon after. Been getting the good pop-up since, and just now at a 1:30 pm, 2/12/14 my state board of nursing website changed me over ...

I was willing to give the OP's classmate the benefit of the doubt as an inexperienced nursing student right up until the point the OP said the student stated, "We are nursing students, we are not here for that." As if the aides' duties are beneath h...

That WOULD NOT FLY AT ALL at my nursing school. That student would have gotten a serious talking to by any and all of the clinical instructors I had from first semester to last, and a few of them probably would have unsat'd a student who knowingly le...

Can't believe this school is making you jump through "hoops," instead of bending over backwards, sending you flowers, and FedExing your scope to you yesterday to smooth over the situation. My school and clinical instructors were very sensitive to not...

Um, that person will be laughed at and ridiculed and be the go-to cautionary but humorous story that nursing instructors regale their students with. Jeez, if I'm gonna falsify credentials, I'm going to be a world-class heart surgeon who's a former SE...

Is this something you are going to regret NOT doing down the road? If it is something you've always wanted and you're physically up for it, go for it! 50's coming whether you pursue nursing or not. Why not be 50 with that Nursing degree? I'm in my ea...

I had you all foot my bill through nursing school. ...through the G.I. Bill, which I earned by serving in the world's finest Navy.

Woohoo! I'm done, outta here, hasta la vista, get pinned on Friday! Who else is graduating this Fall? Congrats! Now, on to NCLEX prep and the job hunt.

Congrats All! Levitas, what are you doing/have you done for NCLEX prep?

If you feel up to it, browse through an NCLEX or Fundamentals Success review book. Not that you'll necessarily know the material, but just so that you can get an idea of how they ask and the types of questions you'll face in nursing school and the ra...

Agree - Do It! Especially with your tuition being essentially free. That's a barrier to most and a big load off your shoulders. There were a lot of career changers/degree holders in my ADN program, including me. You'll be in good company. And, at lea...

Congrats!

Probably get more replies in the Louisiana Nursing section: Louisiana Nursing Good luck to y'all! I just finished Charity SON this past week and get pinned this Friday.

"No, you may not use your antlers to scratch inside your casts."

It's neither the material itself nor the amount, really. I actually found most of the material pretty logical and easy to understand: something wrong here causes these things to go wrong here, etc. The thing that throws off good students (me included...

"Oh, that's what Suzy meant in report when she said my patient was Buck Naked."

"John, see my Doc's face? I want a tat of him kissing my butt!"

Thought it was going to be stupid before I clicked on it. Was actually pretty accurate! I Lol'd. :)
