  1. I can't belive it desperetely need your help

    Seas replied to karen2012's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sorry for what you're going through. But I think you need to clarify some things. First of all, you are not a nurse (yet). Writing a letter to the board because you failed the licensing exam is...

  2. Do you think I could get kicked out?

    Seas replied to w.ross1990's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    You are making excuses. If you go in the meeting with anything you state here, no wonder they will want to get rid of you. Not only because of this very case, but the things you may do in the future...

  3. There Are Easy Nursing Jobs......

    Seas replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    While I'd appreciate having a less stressful job than my current one, I don't think I could do this either. You are basically sitting there and staring at the walls all day? Or do homework at least?...

  4. Awesome feeling when you completed your last shift in a hell hole

    Seas replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you. I am pretty stressed at my job and would like to switch to my desired specialty. I look forward to that day. May I ask which specialty your job

  5. New grad, charge nurse. Doable?

    Seas replied to Knewnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Don't go by the length orientation here. No amount of orientation and training will replace experience needed for a charge position. I would also say, do it if you desperately need a job until you...

  6. What is the hardest course you have ever taken and why?

    Seas replied to ginna121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Macroeconomics. I am taking this class as a pre-req for my RN to BSN program. Hell, I am regretting every time I study for it that I didn't pick a different class in that class

  7. Oh crap...I can't believe I forgot...

    Seas replied to EJBNeuroRN's topic in General Nursing

    I forget to chart stuff sometimes; especially the blood transfusions! Yea, I go back to work and chart the same

  8. Nurses eat their young - now I understand why.

    Seas replied to RN_Marie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think the facility doesn't know what they are doing by putting a new grad, OP, on such a position. OP doesn't know what she is doing, because she doesn't have experience. Now they are looking for...

  9. Does a CNA have to wipe butts?

    Seas replied to sssssaidthesnake's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yea, you never wipe butts, but they should let you do the surgery

  10. Why do people insist that there is a nursing shortage?

    Seas replied to MissNancy's topic in General Students

    Because there is nursing shortage in some areas, and the world is not allnurses.com. If many can't land jobs on this website, the rest of them in real life

  11. Does it make me a bad nurse if I'm not book smart?

    Seas replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Nursing

    I never measure "being a good nurse" as getting along with patients, or getting tasks done right. Those aren't too hard to accomplish. If you can think and act as needed, you may be a good nurse....

  12. How would you feel?

    Seas replied to stashiaj's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody is saying you are lying. You keep saying this person refuses things and such. Earlier, you say this person got hired for nothing. How do you know? How do you know this person refuses...

  13. How would you feel?

    Seas replied to stashiaj's topic in General Nursing

    No reasonable employer hires employees to shut their mouth or because they complain. Does that really make sense to you? Is it how things work in your hospital? If so, then you know what to do to get...

  14. How would you feel?

    Seas replied to stashiaj's topic in General Nursing

    I have trouble seeing the OP's point too. What's the purpose here? If you aren't available on the shifts that have openings, then you don't get the job. Period. Poo-pooing others who are hired, and...

  15. Potential nursing students who dont want to hear the truth

    Seas replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    I found a job even before I graduated from nursing school as well as many of my classmates. Everybody in my class was able to land jobs within 2 months after graduation, some before, some after...

  16. Potential nursing students who dont want to hear the truth

    Seas replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand the purpose. I mean I don't understand what you expect them to say to you. Do you want them to just say "oh really? then I am quitting nursing!". You told them what you have heard...

  17. Didn't Receive paycheck

    Seas replied to TheOracle's topic in General Nursing

    You are creating a big drama out of a simple situation. You work hard, you deserve to be paid, bla bla bla. Nobody is trying to cheat you. Next time, be in the clinic on time to get your paycheck....

  18. Recently interviewed: I said: "No, no, no, no...."

    Seas replied to diligent-trooper's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yeah. That's why med-surg only admits healthy people whose vitals, labs and all values are within normal limits. :) I can tell you've never worked in a hospital. You have a lot to

  19. Recently interviewed: I said: "No, no, no, no...."

    Seas replied to diligent-trooper's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am very curious as to see what you thought a Tele floor would be like? What did you expect? Welcome to real world. There is no perfect job. And this job sounds very much like a telemetry floor. I...

  20. I've Failed The NCLEX 8 Times & Now I'm about To Take It 1 More Time...

    Seas replied to eutawville11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't understand those "I know you can do it, I believe in you" type of blind comments. OP has shown for the past 8 times that she/he can't do it. Now another testing tomorrow with no preparation....

  21. What was the best thing about being a new nurse?

    Seas replied to SarahCunningham's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Not knowing lots of things is normal. People won't say "oh, and you don't know this!?". Other nurses know you're a new grad and you may be asking stupid questions for them. But it will be okay,...

  22. Am I wrong for calling off? Please help!

    Seas replied to np2b4me's topic in General Nursing

    I think you shouldn't have called in for the patients' sake. It only makes situation worse. I see it's a danger to be short staffed, but even less staffing doesn't make it better. Being short staffed...

  23. First day of CNA clinical - Elder abuse?

    Seas replied to stefanyjoy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think you did the right thing by letting your instructor know. This mean attitude should be addressed. I am a nurse now, but I have been a CNA in a nursing home too. So I know how busy CNA's get...

  24. CNAs deserve more appreciation in nursing!

    Seas replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    FYI, getting CNA doesn't take at least two months. There are different lenght of courses like a 2 week long

  25. CNAs deserve more appreciation in nursing!

    Seas replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I didn't see any belittling on the examples you gave. The A in assistant also means "aide". If you feel this bad about hearing the word "aide", then you must have inferiority complex. Because that is...
