  1. Do Nurses eat their....lunch?

    JenforRN replied to massrn116's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think they do. On the units I've had rotations, generally half of them report off and go for ~45 minutes, then the other half goes. I can't think of a situation when a nurse was called back from...

    JenforRN replied to DZcarrie's topic in General Students

  3. A rolling suitcase....really???

    JenforRN replied to OgreAchiever's topic in General Students

    JenforRN replied to Clovery's topic in General Students

    JenforRN replied to mariposabella's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. Putting all my eggs in one basket

    JenforRN replied to Highschoolfuturenurs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you taking all six prerequisites in one semester? At my school, five courses is considered a normal courseload so six would be a bit of a challenge (who knows, maybe your school's course hour...

  17. What is statistics like?

    JenforRN replied to luv2garden's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's like the statistics chapter of your 12th grade textbook... spread over a longer period of time. Definitely a GPA

  18. Where does the public get the idea that nurses make a ton of money?

    JenforRN replied to edogs334's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not every hour a lawyer works is billed (just because x task is expected to take 4 hours doesn't mean it's GOING to)... especially a new grad who gets delegated time consuming tasks from the law...

  19. Where does the public get the idea that nurses make a ton of money?

    JenforRN replied to edogs334's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well lawyers make a lot of money, but apparently when you take the amount of hours they work, they make less per hour than a babysitter. Traders routinely wake up at 2-3am b/c that's when the...

    JenforRN replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  23. Prestige or practicality?

    JenforRN replied to Canuckgirl's topic in International Nursing

    JenforRN replied to RN4S22's topic in First Year After Licensure
