  1. Should I switch Nursing Schools after finishing my 1st semester?

    Seas replied to JCast87's topic in General Students

    I would defınitely quit and start over with a different school that IS accredited. Too many red flags. 40% pass rate?! wow!! Sorry, this so called "nursing school" sounds garbage. How many times...

  2. Why do some RNs hate this?

    Seas replied to nursingstudent2458's topic in General Students

    ADN and BSN graduates take the exact same NCLEX-RN and have exact same duties at the bedside. Do you think that maybe the reason they get paid pretty much the same? Where are you from? A different...

  3. Not even a word of English

    Seas replied to MomRN0913's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    haha. Get yourself a handbook. School is not the only way. Anything is better than having to have someone with you to do basic living activities in life. What happens if you can't have a translator...

  4. Not even a word of English

    Seas replied to MomRN0913's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had one patient who couldn't speak or understand one simple word in English. Not even something like "thank you"; the daughter had to translate. The patient had been living in U.S. for 15 years! I...

  5. Failed Rn boards 4 times

    Seas replied to michelle.duncan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I bet you would think it is perfectly fine if your kid was taken care by a nurse who passed NCLEX on their 5th try after 10 years of finishing school. :) I'd like to add that, I don't mean to put...

  6. Failed Rn boards 4 times

    Seas replied to michelle.duncan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    First of all, OP is not returning to nursing, as she/he has never practiced as a nurse. Secondly, he/she is not a fresh graduate either. Returning to nursing/being a fresh grad is a complete...

  7. Incontinent ON PURPOSE

    Seas replied to curlyfry17's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    It frustrates me too. Some people seem to purposely regress, and act like a baby. I understand things may change while you are sick; I empathize with those. But some people do it

  8. Failed Rn boards 4 times

    Seas replied to michelle.duncan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Time off you took is 4 times longer than the nursing school itself. I don't think it is safe anymore to practice as a nurse even if you pass. Are you still retaining what you learned in nursing...

  9. Is the second year of an ADN program easier than the first?

    Seas replied to 777RN's topic in General Students

    I don't think so. My school got worse and worse as we went along. My last semester was hell. It depends on

  10. Really sad :(

    Seas replied to NOLAmommy3's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sorry, welcome to real life. We don't do our dream job right away. Many people have been trying to get a job that they have a passion for, while doing something they hate. I know a big bunch of those...

  11. Is 1 year enough experience?

    Seas replied to Valerieanne89's topic in Travel

    I think 1 year experience is enough in this

  12. Certified Nursing Assistants - The Nurses think we have it so easy.

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

    I am a RN who also worked as a CNA at the nursing home before. Your post and all your statistics and percentages of the workload you made up just made me smile. You don't know what you don't know....

  13. Can i do just 75 questions for 6 hours?

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

    Wow. Purposely spending the whole 6 hours on 75 questions? Why wasn't I smart like that? Whatever, it doesn't make sense to me. Put your energy into learning more test taking tips instead of this....

  14. 4 days left till NCLEX..What do you do? Relax? Study? Cry? Pray?

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

    I studied until the morning of the test. Passed with 75 questions on the first try. Everybody is different. You may want to continue studying or relax. I know, I myself can't ever not study until the...

  15. Can I work in Home Health Care as a new LPN?

    Seas replied to MimiLPN's topic in Home Health

    I spent a day with a home health nurse as a part of nursing school clinicals. It was full of communicating with dr, patient, the other services. Treatment advices, patient teaching, problem solving,...

  16. How does inexperienced RN do ER?

    Seas replied to rnoutlaw's topic in Emergency

    How much experience do you really have? 0, 1 , 2, or 3 years? There is no such thing as 0-3 years of experience. Each year significantly counts. I hope that isn't how you put it on the

  17. First day of my REAL Nursing classes..scared ):

    Seas replied to uhohbube's topic in General Students

    It is yucky to have to assess your classmates like this. I would be uncomfortable too. Thankfully, my school didn't require such a thing. Heck, isn't that what the clinicals are for anyway? I remember...

  18. What is your dream nursing career

    Seas replied to Tinkx RN's topic in General Students

    Well baby nursery, postpartum, couplet care, etc. I like L&D

  19. Hair & clinical

    Seas replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    French braid it. Very neat looking and

  20. Why do some RNs hate this?

    Seas replied to nursingstudent2458's topic in General Students

    Lol. I am an exception I guess. Because, I don't hate it. I admit the fact that I make pretty good money for myself, and I am proud of

  21. African American male here. I have some questions for my fellow nurses

    Seas replied to Shack502's topic in General Students

    It is not too hard, but it is very very busy and overwhelming. Doable, if you give up on some things in your life. To be honest with advicing, I would discourage you from reading horror stories on...

  22. Am I rushing? Thinking LPN instead of RN

    Seas replied to peppapig123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would just go for RN be done with it. It is a waste of time to go to different schools/bridging one after another if you already plan to end up as

  23. This is the "new" policy..denied admission based on low compass math score

    Seas replied to suzilks1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry that you didn't get admitted. But to be honest, that letter you sent looks pretty

  24. A Day in the life of a Telemetry Nurse?

    Seas replied to ivyleaf's topic in Cardiac

    I am doing surgical telemetry. I have 4-6 patients (usual is 4-5, 6 is when short-staffed). It is a very fast paced, stressful environment. But I have learned a lot of things. My patients are mobile...

  25. Frustrated!!!!!!! Am I alone on this?

    Seas replied to JenniferS_CNA's topic in General Students

    I don't care about the reason why people choose nursing. The bottom line is, if they are accepted, they have worked hard for it and they have the smarts to be accepted, period. The passion doesn't...
