    lifelearningrn replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    I've known people to have trouble getting an earring through when they haven't worn any for a while, but never have the holes disappeared completely. It's purely cosmetic. There will be visible holes...

    Abandoning family in the ED during the holidays

    lifelearningrn replied to SubSippi's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Where are you located? We have no shortage of facilities that offer respite. Most LTC facilities and many (if not most) SNF offer respite. I think the better answer is most people don't want to PAY...

    Im Pagan and a Hospice Nurse....

    lifelearningrn replied to SaylahStarr's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    So you will only accept non-Judeo-Christian patients? I work for a faith based hospice, and we DO get patients that aren't Christians and their faith (or lack of faith, if that is the case) is ALWAYS...

    lifelearningrn replied to Tenebrae's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I work in home based so we don't use syringe/IV interventions, but I did have a patient that had a lot of agitation that nothing seemed to work for, we adjusted medications for weeks, it wasn't until...

    The "increase minimum wage" issue.

    lifelearningrn replied to shermrn's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I believe that everyone should be paid a wage that allows them to live- $15 hr is too much for entry level, unskilled

    lifelearningrn replied to happyhealer's topic in General Students

    How far into the program are you? This is definitely a live and learn situation- never miss clinical unless a true medical issue or emergency is occurring. Nursing school is stressful even under the...

    lifelearningrn replied to Fearless_leader's topic in General Students

    I guess I believe there is a difference between sitting in lab and performing surgery, or even flying a plane (don't planes have toilets near the cockpit?) - not to mention both professionals are...

    lifelearningrn replied to KathyVandy's topic in General Students

    Yeah- or you could do what I did- retake it and get a worse score! lol (true story!) --- I work and know lots of ADNs, none have had trouble finding work with their ADNs. Good luck and congrats on...

    Reapply to BSN program? Or take the ADN seat?

    lifelearningrn replied to KathyVandy's topic in General Students

    My BSN program was only 2 years. :/ However, I do agree that starting the ADN program will undoubtably get the OP to the NCLEX faster. I think it is important to stress that reapplying for the fall...

    Take the ADN seat and get started, what happens if you end up on the wait list AGAIN? That puts you behind another

    lifelearningrn replied to Fearless_leader's topic in General Students

    Who tells doctors when they can and can't go to the restroom or take a break? I worked for years as a waitress, never once was I told I couldn't go pee when I needed to. Even airline pilots can pee...

    Test Banks = Academic Dishonesty???

    lifelearningrn replied to Haleiwa's topic in General Students

    When I say test banks I'm referring to the ones designed for instructor use- question banks and study guides published for student use are fair game - any teacher that pulls questions from those...

    Love the Concept- Will it be Respected?

    lifelearningrn replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Western Governors University

    I have taken many, many online classes. No, I don't think they are the same as in person classes- and there are only a couple where I would say I got much out of the course at all. I hear WGU is...

    Test Banks = Academic Dishonesty???

    lifelearningrn replied to Haleiwa's topic in General Students

    Test banks on the net are actually illegally distributed copyrighted materials and yes, it's dishonest to obtain (and illegal) and use them. It's a cop out to says 'everyone has access so it's not...

    lifelearningrn replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Western Governors University

    I don't think brick and mortar is spoon feeding - and I believe there are still many reasons to be weary of online education- a primary one being that unless exams are proctored- I there is no real...

    Dear Nursing Instructor

    lifelearningrn replied to Fearless_leader's topic in General Students

    I don't think the OP was trying to excuse tardiness or flippant behavior- but not allowing students to use the restroom? Sorry- I draw the line there as well. A large number of nursing students are...
