    Everyone is white?

    NICU or Med-Surg

    ThePrincessBride replied to Enurse1234's topic in General Nursing

    I do both. Started in med-surg, went contingent when I got a full-time position in a level III NICU and now I am back full-time adult world and work contingent as a NICU RN. I initially thought about...

    Student Not Eligible for NCLEX

    ThePrincessBride replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I graduated almost five years ago and my program required us to pass something similar to the HESI. It was very accurate for me as I passed and it gave me a 99 percent chance of the NCLEX the first...

    What is it like to work in a good hospital?

    ThePrincessBride replied to Green Tea, RN's topic in General Nursing

    It definitely depends on the NICU. Some new grads have walked right into a day shift position or had to wait only two or three months for one. Lot of turnover in the NICUs in my

    Waste of time and money if she isn't going to use the degree. Why put yourself through 3 years of hell if you have no intention in

    Has Nursing hardened you?

    ThePrincessBride posted a topic in General Nursing

    Simple question: Has nursing hardened you? I'm currently a student, and I have noticed that some of the older clinical instructors are very cold, harsh and indecent towards some of the nursing...

    Will there be too many nurses in the near future?

    ThePrincessBride replied to DCubed's topic in General Nursing

    There should. Absolutely. I am not saying that. I am saying we have all the nurses to appropriately staff these places. Employers, however, are just not hiring them. We have the supply. We just aren't...

    Will there be too many nurses in the near future?

    ThePrincessBride replied to DCubed's topic in General Nursing

    No need to insult people. It is unnecessary. I say there is no nursing shortage because where I live there are a billion nursing schools churning out new grads every semester. Even if we followed...

    How do you handle a patient who talks a lot?

    ThePrincessBride replied to Joanne15's topic in General Nursing

    Slowly back out of the room. Have someone call me if I am still in the room 10 minutes later. Ask if they need anything and then quickly exit. Say, " I would love to talk to you more but I got to see...

    She is trying to use the suffering of black women to garner the black community to get elected. She doesn't actually give a damn about what I, as a black woman, go through on a daily basis. Dems have...

    She apologized because she had to as she allowed Trump to paint her in a corner and the lie was in her blood. She knew she wasn't Native but checked the box anyway so she could benefit from it (and...

    Rather him than that user. Many of you seem ignorant of her past. Look it up. It isn't pretty and a lot of Native American people don't like her because of it. As a person of color, I can't overlook...
