  4. why do nurses discourage nursing students?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to direw0lf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think most nurse DISCOURAGE students, but rather, they tell it like it is. How many threads have been started here along the lines of "No one ever told me X!" That this is no nursing...

  8. Will NCLEX ever REQUIRE BSN???

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to butterflykissesxo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to BrieanneMarie's topic in General Nursing

  20. Can I date the nurse who took care my mother before she passed away?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to m4a123's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not bashing match.com, I'm just wondering why a probable non-nurse is here asking for social/dating advice. In ANY profession if it's been four months and she hasn't reached out, she's probably just...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to tarotale's topic in General Nursing

    So you won't do med surg, long term or rehab. You abhor free loaders. Prefer patients of a higher socio-economical background. Tell us all WHY you became a nurse? Between these reasons and your...
