  1. How to deal with low morale?

    Oh, management might be 100% behind losing the experienced personnel. They cost more. The bean counters think that a nurse is a nurse, so why pay $35 or $38 /hour if you can get a new one for $22...
  2. sketchers shape ups

    These shoes change character with steady wear, and definitely if worn all-day, every day. Mine had that feel, at first. But after they wear-in a while, the leather stretches and the shoe loosens up....
  3. considering RN as career move, fears/concerns/questions

    nurses do not treat disease. they facilitate healing by treating all kinds of effects that the pathological conditions have on the patient. it's a totally different focus than using science to cure...
  4. Hmmmmm Why Do Nursing Students Fail?

    What everyone else said, plus, Nurses always are working under restrictions and handicaps: 1. Restrictions in the med system's hierarchy, where nurses don't treat disease, they don't heal people,...
  5. sketchers shape ups

    Update to my Shape-Ups XW experience: I loved the Shape-Ups at first. They stretched out some after being worn for two to four workdays, and now I see I should have bought my regular shoe size...

  7. Rocker shoes, in general...

    Rocker shoes, in general: Here are two articles worth reading, if you are trying to sort out what to buy or not buy. I have no affiliation with any off these sites, dealers, or brands....
  8. OT: engagement rings during clinicals?

    No rings at all, but I am neither engaged nor married so I'd have a hard time making a case for why I must wear any ring, lol. As many times as I need to do hand hygiene, I don't want any rings...
  9. ^^ this. in. the. end!! stop trying to teach it that way in the beginning! it's grossly unfair to students to expect them to apply a concept until they thoroughly understand it....
  10. do your teachers make u sign in for class?

    We sign in hourly for lectures. No kidding. A sign-in sheet is literally passed around the room every hour. Clinicals, so far, we sign in just at the beginning because it's a much smaller and...
  11. Weather Cancellations

    My school handed out a complete published schedule for the entire semester, on the first day of class. One handout is the block schedule with dates, and the companion handout for it is the assigned...
  12. A&P Advice..?

    To me, A&P was incredibly tedious, not hard. Unless you count how annoying it is, as an adult, to make yourself spend 4x your usual time and effort on a college course. I found there is no...

    To hold off the Dementors?! LOL! (Sorry if you didn't mean that post as a joke, but it looked like gallows humor to
  14. Looking to enroll in nursing...couple of questions.

    These are the "typical" courses that I found were almost universally required. I copied this from one of my earlier posts. The high school requirements were from an associate degree RN program and I...
  15. Never driving to work in snow again

    Wow, that makes nurses sound like whiners. I'd fire anyone who has that attitude. If you live where it snows, either get a vehicle that's snow-capable or arrange for a ride. A skilled driver with...
  16. Wrist watches...what are the pros and cons?

    ^ LOL
  17. Since you sound young and you write like in lower case, etc. I'm going to presume that you are young. One possibility that nobody mentioned yet was that you were slipped something in a drink,...
  18. https://allnurses.com/nursing-shoes-footwear/skechers-womens-low-529087.html I already posted the thread in Gear. But I put this here to point it out to all of us starving students who need a shoe...
  19. Skechers low profile rockers $60 & $69 + free shipping

    That's a great price on the #76455 XW, and most stores online and brick & mortar are asking currently $85 to $107 for them, so I grabbed an extra pair now since that's too much discount to pass...

  22. Sociology Requirement

    I'm in that Rio Salodo Soc101 now, and it is easy. They have a special stripped-down textbook that really limits the amount of material that you must read. There 11 lessons, many of which are just...
  23. Just talked to a nurse- I feel so down & anxious

    And I whoop with laughter every time I read this statement. There is also a large group of baby boomers training to become nurses, and they have excellent health, keen minds, years of work experience...
