  1. Laptop vs iPad

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to Floridanurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Love my IPad but it won't do you any good in school. You will need Word and PP for most classes, unless you want to print them out and write on paper, which would defeat the purpose of having any...

  2. Please give me some ideas I can work with here......alternative to nursing.

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to gonzalezacynthia's topic in First Year After Licensure

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

    Just going to chime in here about this whole "retarted" issue. I had a nursing instructor who adoped a special needs child and was super sensitive about the word. I asked her at clinical one day if...

  5. What advice would you give me?

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to bluemorningglory's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What are the requirements for enrollment into the RN program? I can see people doing all of thier pre req's and getting all C's as having a hard time getting in, but if you ace all of your pre req's,...

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

    I too wanted to get into geriatrics, I still do but have fallen in love with the ED now. So my plan now is one year of experience on a stroke/neuro unit for experience (still get plenty of...

  7. Not sure about bipolar and declaratory order for Board of Nursing

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to 953anon's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    If you don't think you were diagnosed than you probably weren't. The school can not access your medical records without your consent so don't sweat it, don't fill out the form and get your education....

  8. Certified Registered Nurse

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to tpicken0's topic in General Nursing

    So are you a certified registered nurse or a CNA, you post and heading are a little confusing because of the two different titles. If you are a CNA I would check into nursing homes because they tend...

  9. There's nothing worse than a FAT nurse!

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

    People think mean things all the time, I'm guilty and I'm sure you are guilty as well. We actually sensor ourselves not to let those things slip out of our mouths to avoid hurting someone's feelings....

  10. New grad in the ER, yes or no?

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to FORTHELOVEOF!!!!'s topic in Emergency

    Thank you all for your responses. I believe I will take the job on my current floor because it is waiting for me and use that time to better my skills. I think after a year I should be able to shake...

  11. New grad in the ER, yes or no?

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to FORTHELOVEOF!!!!'s topic in Emergency

    Thank you! It is a trauma 1, but the night I worked we didn't have any because our ICU's were full, it was still great! To be honest, I have been on med/surg, neuro, CVICU, OB, psych, and LTC either...

  12. nursing prerequisite help please

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to nursingdreamer7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends, why do you think you need to retake them? Does your school require certain grades on pre req's? Do they work on a competitive scale like a point system? If so then I would retake the...

  13. Feeling very discouraged after clinicals.. "critical incident"

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to Maverick01's topic in General Students

    I never have time to wash my hands every time I leave a patients room, they let us use the alcohol outside the doors unless we have visually dirty hands, it's a

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to srg4784's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Lol, I am so glad I am not the only one who read it this way in the beginning! I thought it was going to be something along the lines trying to be culturally sensitive and find a way to get the...

  17. Is this outside my scope of practice?

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to FORTHELOVEOF!!!!'s topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the info, I appreciate it! @classicdame, I have the same scope as a CNA when I'm not being observed and can do anything I want when I am being observed (except give meds). My confusion on...

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to erin511's topic in General Nursing

    My brain never shuts off at night, I just take a sominex and melatonin on the bad nights when I have to work the next morning, I will be no good to my patients as a zombie. Hope it gets better for...

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to srg4784's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  22. Nursing Boundaries...can I go feed my patients cats?

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to srg4784's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Can you grab a neighbor and have them witness you opening the door just to place food and water inside? Don't even step foot in the house and you have an unbiased, neutral witness. Sorry I just hate...

  24. Nursing Boundaries...can I go feed my patients cats?

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to srg4784's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I (as in MYSELF) would feed them and worry about the consequences later, if there are any. This is a wreckless statement, I know, but when it comes to something like this, it's a gray area IMO, how...

  25. Is nursing still a good career choice?

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to manskette's topic in General Students

    While the market isn't great, I am confident it will get better. Baby boomers starting any time now and for the next 25-30 years will be hitting retirement age (nurses retiring) and hitting the place...
