    Confused, Frustrated and agitated w/VITALS

    SoldierNurse22 replied to forbidden2know's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The problem is that "about" or "approximately" are commonly used words in healthcare. No two people are the same. One person's "normal" will be another person's "panic value". You can also have a...

    Employer's Negative Response to Teaching Hospital Experience

    SoldierNurse22 replied to slr0610's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Ditto on HouTx's post. I was recently in the same spot that you're in, and I learned to adjust. Make no mistake--it is an adjustment--but for goodness sake, you're an ICU nurse at a big teaching...

    can we have an honest discussion about foreign profs?

    SoldierNurse22 replied to richardgecko's topic in General Students

    I have traveled a great deal and interacted with people of all backgrounds. It is difficult even for me to understand certain accents at times. I agree that this exposure is absolutely essential,...

    can we have an honest discussion about foreign profs?

    SoldierNurse22 replied to richardgecko's topic in General Students

    I understand what the OP's getting at. Let's face it--a prof could be the greatest prof in the world. Their teaching style could be excellent, their comprehension of the information unsurpassed--but...

    Hopeful Air Force Nurse

    SoldierNurse22 replied to mestrela's topic in Government, Military

    Getting into any branch right now is extremely difficult, especially as a new grad. The military is drawing down and cutting back on intake. I hate to say it, but I wouldn't count on it. I took the...

    What do you take to clinicals?

    SoldierNurse22 replied to i♥words's topic in General Students

    Muahahahaha. This made me laugh because I recall this mentality well from back in nursing school days. Just let me know if someone starts calling in a 9-line. That's when you know **** just got...

    MD license by endorsment

    SoldierNurse22 replied to izzycatswimRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I find that strange. It's not difficult for you to prove your licensure in another state. Sounds like MD just digging for a little more money out of your

    What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

    SoldierNurse22 replied to nirvana1's topic in Nursing Humor

    I had a friend in high school who knew a girl named lady parts. Pronounced to rhyme with Regina, but you can imagine the awkward moment when she had to spell her name for

    MD license by endorsment

    SoldierNurse22 replied to izzycatswimRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Do you need it for school? I was also stationed in MD and knew plenty of folks in school. Especially for a military RN, having a license in a particular state isn't required as long as the license...

    New grad who wanted ICU, got med surg, advice?

    SoldierNurse22 replied to meagenreason's topic in First Year After Licensure

    She wasn't berating the ICU nurse for asking! She was simply saying that if the ICU nurse had been in m/s first, the ICU nurse probably would have known how to do this herself, hence lending...

    Simple Battery. Do I finish school?

    SoldierNurse22 replied to AngelJLV83's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I'm somewhat speechless, quite honestly. If this girl was so horrible to you, why go to a party where she was also invited? If your friends were listening to her, they weren't really your friends....

    Help describing patient orientation

    SoldierNurse22 replied to Affsana's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Alert and oriented has a couple different layers of meaning. "Alert" meaning that a patient is awake--they are conscious of their surroundings. This does not necessarily mean they are aware of where...

    Need advise about denied vacation.....

    SoldierNurse22 replied to Glycerine82's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If you fight it, be prepared to lose your job. Nasty, ridiculous policy. Makes me wonder where all that "heart" that nurses have goes when this kind of thing

    Pregnant CNA working night shift

    SoldierNurse22 replied to TrinaCNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Not sure why you'd think night shift would be easier while pregnant? One of my close friends became pregnant last year and was immediately taken off night shift. The debate and research continues...

    Has anyone ever tried the Pearson Vue trick and not have it work?

    SoldierNurse22 replied to exhaustedstudent's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have only heard anecdotally of it failing. The PVT is pretty darn reliable. BTW, no one thinks they pass after NCLEX. I had a friend who took all 265 questions and passed. She was CERTAIN she had...

    SoldierNurse22 replied to ScientistSalarian's topic in General Students

    NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Don't do it--it's not worth it! I actually left FB when I was in nursing school. It was so easy to get sidetracked on FB for ridiculous amounts of time doing NOTHING. And there...

    No, I don't think you're crazy. Unfortunately, you have reason to be concerned based on what you posted. Have you been counseled on what happened or discussed it with a

    Clinical vs non-clinical job responsibilities

    Responsibility for what? People's lives in the literal sense or managing a piece of an organization and trying to keep it and its components afloat? You are looking at two distinctly different levels...

    SoldierNurse22 replied to LeeLeeTheGPN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Let me see if I understand. You're getting your ADN, but you don't want a BSN because you think you need a master's for public health? That's incorrect. I've met ADNs as well as BSNs that do public...
