  1. Employment Scams And Fake Job Postings

    kbucksn replied to TheCommuter's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I know of one in Minnesota when I lived there. A college student in her mid-20's answered and ad for a nanny on Craigslist. It listed a phone #,etc and when she called she spoke to a woman claiming to...

  2. ADN or BSN?

    kbucksn replied to melmobley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think alot does depend on what is the better program. Where I live the BSN program has had a 100% first time pass rate on the NCLEX for the last few years and the ADN is in the mid 90's. So I guess...

  3. ADN or BSN?

    kbucksn replied to melmobley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well from my understanding the major difference is hiring purposes. Although the RN licensure is still the same, more and more hospitals are trying to acquire "magnet status" and in order to do that...

  4. How do you handle the drug seekers?

    kbucksn replied to itsnowornever's topic in Emergency

    Wow!!

  5. How do you handle the drug seekers?

    kbucksn replied to itsnowornever's topic in Emergency

    The only thing about that is what if you are making these accusations that "Mom is strung out on drugs" and you are wrong? What if like nursemarion's pt there is a REAL illness and REAL pain going on,...

  6. How do you handle the drug seekers?

    kbucksn replied to itsnowornever's topic in Emergency

    I totally agree with what your saying. Things should be taken a step further and other visits checked. Your right if this is the 3rd time this week or they come in a few times a week or whatever for...

  7. How do you handle the drug seekers?

    kbucksn replied to itsnowornever's topic in Emergency

    I have to agree with the other comments, pain is pain. I am really glad to hear advice about dealing with pts holistically, I think that is something we all should keep in mind. MissRN2012 you made a...

  8. Help Deciding Classes

    kbucksn posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am currently finishing up my prereqs to apply to a BSN program. Thus far I took Biology 2 years ago now, Anatomy Spring semester, and I am registered for Physiology for Fall, what I am wondering is...

  9. How hard is sociology ?

    kbucksn replied to gardenfan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well first of all every class is different, so its kind of hard to compare. Teachers make the class in many ways. For me, I took sociology last semester, I had a really laid back teacher, but she...

  10. I'm going to fail my Anatomy & Physiology lecture class...

    kbucksn replied to StuffofLegend's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First of all you need a ((((((BIG HUG))) :hug: I know your pain , I have actually been going through the same thing. Spring last year I took my anatomy and I am at a smaller school so we do not...

  11. what would you do?

    kbucksn posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a bit of a dilemma in my mind right now. I am currently in my 2nd semester of prereqs required to apply for the ADN program, a little background first...I am 32 years old, was a very young Mom...

  12. Would you be mad if a fellow nursing student did this?

    kbucksn replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I do not get why a certain person on this board sees anything about entitlement?? I am so glad you have a wonderous "protestant work ethic" but not everyone was raised that way. you want to talk...

  13. what would you do?

    kbucksn replied to kbucksn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey there, welcome to allnurses...I am now in my 3rd semester, i am done with all my nursing program prereqs accept for physiology which i take in the fall, chemistry which i cannot take until i get...

  14. Would you be mad if a fellow nursing student did this?

    kbucksn replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also would like to reiterate that it is one thing to go into a program with the intent of becoming a nurse, probably what those ladies that Streamline2010 was referring to.I can understand having...

  15. Would you be mad if a fellow nursing student did this?

    kbucksn replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Streamline 2010....wow I did not mean to trigger someone to be so nasty!! I am so glad that your life was able to go that way to go to college than have kids...well I have been on my own since I was...

  16. Would you be mad if a fellow nursing student did this?

    kbucksn replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am sorry to be the bummer but I would be very upset. Maybe it is because of where I live, a very rural area with exactly 2 nursing programs, one of which is over an hour away. The first one accepts...

    kbucksn replied to juniorminty's topic in General Nursing

    I have several tattoos and used to have several piercings as well. When I worked int he hospitals they were VERY strict about covering up, I worked registry and EVERY hospital was that way....

  18. Physio question...advice

    kbucksn posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am hoping for some advice here. I have signed up for physiology for fall, now i have had a few people tell me that since i have never had a chemistry class, i shouldnt take it yet. I have taken...

  19. Take LPN board halfway through nursing school?

    kbucksn replied to rduterte's topic in General Students

    It is definately possible. I live in Utah and that is an option here after your 2nd semester of the ADN program. Actually you take a bridge class which prepares you for the LVN/LPN boards. Now I dont...

  20. The Patient I Failed

    kbucksn replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    First of all I must say this was beautifully written, so much dignity in your words. As PP have said, you DID NOT fail your Pt. As a medical professional you have only so much control, you take...

  21. any nurses/nursing students on methadone?

    kbucksn replied to milksteak's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It is really funny to me as to people not wanting to have their nurse on MMT...i can think of many other meds that have a big ole label on the bottle that says may cause impairment blah blah...

  23. Taking 13 credits for a Summer semester in order to make January admissions!?

    kbucksn replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For the most part you cannot challenge the test, in califrnia you used to be able to ONLY if you have been working as a CNA for 5 yrs consistently that is verifiable. as far as the 13 credits in...
