  1. Nursing and smoking....can it hinder your career?

    Seas replied to Juryizout's topic in General Nursing

    Also nobody will want their patients to complain because the smoking employee's hands, breath and clothes stink after smoking. Smokers may not feel this, but unfortunately the smoke smell is very...

  2. Should I do anything about being yelled at?

    Seas replied to kw11's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would write her up. A doctor recently got a little mean with me on the phone. It wasn't half as big as this issue, but still not nice. When I told this to my charge nurse, she encouraged me to...

  3. is this considered acute care? pls help!!!

    Seas replied to MyMystudentRN's topic in School

    School nursing is not acute care. Acute care experience pretty much means hospital experience. I think they meant to tell you to work another hospital until you're experienced, and then come back to...

  4. How often do you get called and asked to work on days off?

    Seas replied to limonada's topic in General Nursing

    I get called in every once in a while. Lately I got called in once a week. I always tell them no; they usually call me after I'have done a 3 in a row of 12 hr shifts. I think it is a little rude to...

  5. How to NOT interview for your RN/LPN job!

    Seas replied to musicianRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks for the tips! I knew most of these, but I had to learn the rest! I am surprised by the people who attack the OP and think these are not important, and these don't matter, but compassion and...

  6. What was your toughest semester in Nursing School?

    Seas replied to Ellis02136's topic in General Students

    Third and fourth

  7. The Mockery of Nursing

    Seas replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Majority of my class including me failed this test! I am going to BON to report this instructor. Not

  8. Bad preceptorship assignment

    Seas replied to tajlemm6's topic in General Students

    I don't mean to sound mean but, I also think you sound entitled. It is not "highest grades served first thing." You were given choices, and that means you accept that you may get any of those. You...

  9. Can stupid people pass nursing school?

    Seas replied to countrygirl1234's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For your question, yes, stupid students get accepted to crappy nursing schools and finish them. But they get caught in NCLEX

  10. Graduate in 3 months, and have only done three procedures

    Seas replied to Trixyp's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I didn't go to school to be a LPN, I am a RN. However, I have never heard of such clinical assignment. Not normal. Looks like one of those schools that only worry about their NCLEX pass rate, but...

  11. Failed NCLEX 5 Times! Am I The Only One Who . . .

    Seas replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand that "I know many who are great test takers but bad nurses, and who failed NCLEX x many times and great nurses" thing. I have also read a lot of posts by failing people who claim...

  12. Failed NCLEX 5 Times! Am I The Only One Who . . .

    Seas replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with you on this. Nursing shouldn't be something anyone can become, even if that means taking the boards 25 times. It shouldn't be that easy to become a nurse. People who obviously...

  13. Failed NCLEX 5 Times! Am I The Only One Who . . .

    Seas replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I thought about this. But then what is the point of saying it doesn't matter how many times one takes it? If one needs to make sure and say "I am not one of those! I passed it the first time!", then...

  14. HELP, Instructor wants Patho on Care Plan for PP patient.

    Seas replied to chellevonne's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You can just mind your own business and do a research about PP pathophys. yourself. Seems like you need it. This. You explained it pretty

  15. HELP, Instructor wants Patho on Care Plan for PP patient.

    Seas replied to chellevonne's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My instructor called it "pathophysiology" and explained it this way. She was a nurse practitioner in OB area, so I will trust

  16. Failed NCLEX 5 Times! Am I The Only One Who . . .

    Seas replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    If you don't believe in "bragging" about passing it the first time, may I ask why you felt the need to say you passed it the first time? Many people replied this topic with opposite opinions. Not...

  17. HELP, Instructor wants Patho on Care Plan for PP patient.

    Seas replied to chellevonne's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Patho on PP has nothing to do with lady partsl or c-section birth. I had to do labor, postpartum, and a newborn patho in nursing school. You have to go through all the systems in the body and explain...

  18. Failed NCLEX 5 Times! Am I The Only One Who . . .

    Seas replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Lol. I never reply "I passed it in 12th try, here's my story/here's what worked" type of topics. If I ever put my honest reaction on those topics, I would get flamed bad by everyone who passed it...

  19. NP Student introducing themself as a NP to the patients

    Seas replied to JerseyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I think she needs a private talk. By you, or her instructor, or your floor

  20. Classmate Reported Our Instructors to the BON

    Seas replied to KatePasa's topic in General Students

    That's plain ridiculous. Just because very many people failed a test doesn't automatically make the instructor bad enough to be reported to BON. Even if you really had a terrible instructor where you...

  21. Why I LOVE night shift

    Seas replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    Kudos to all who love and plans to stay nights forever. I have been working nights for the past 5 months and I really don't like it anymore. No way I can do it forever. I am staying on nights until I...

  22. Why do people go into nursing? Is it just the money?

    Seas replied to zoo*moon's topic in General Nursing

    I don't care why anybody goes into nursing and what anybody thinks about it as long as they are capable of doing this work. If they can't be a good one and still work there, that's the hiring...

  23. I don't want night shifts

    Seas replied to Phillip1988's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't want nights either. I could easily switch to days where I work now, but it is very hectic during the day there. So I will stay on nights until I get hired to my desired

  24. What nursing field do you think is easiest and hardest?

    Seas replied to Tinkx RN's topic in General Students

    Easiest: Dr offices, health department, etc. Hardest:

  25. have you ever failed a science pre-req more than once?

    Seas replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Students

    No. In my opinion, not to offend anyone, if one doesn't have capacity to do pre-reqs, no way they can do nursing. However, if your case is your study habits.. If your study habits are THAT bad that...
