  1. Why are Hospitals so darn mean when someone fails the NCLEX?

    mariedoreen replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Oh so it gets even better! They're expunging your reputation in one of the best hospitals in the area! Then I would definitely leave, I'm sure they'll have many more to take my place, and my parting...

  2. Is This Standard Now With Pap Smears

    mariedoreen replied to payday's topic in General Nursing

    But for how

  3. Condescending nurses

    mariedoreen replied to Tony35NYC's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm. So let's fast forward a few months and assume that the OP has passed his NCLEX and has two new little letters behind his name. And let's assume he then posts a vent describing this situation in...

  4. Why are Hospitals so darn mean when someone fails the NCLEX?

    mariedoreen replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly what I was thinking! I'd stay there until I passed the NCLEX and the second they found out I'd turn in my resignation.. but then I can be a tad vindictive

  5. What Do I Need To Pass! Help!

  6. Axe maternity, add emergency

    mariedoreen replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    AWESOME QUESTION! Because really you're right. Obviously emergency care is a specialty but as the OP was pointing out, it can also be encountered on ANY unit. Any patient can go south in a...

  7. Any nurses working in doctor's offices?... is this the norm?

    mariedoreen replied to hhrhrn41's topic in General Nursing

    My dad had an MD who refused to hear more than one symptom at a time... If you had been seeing this doc OP you would have had to make 6 visits, one for each symptom you listed above... My dad made an...

  8. Problems with Rn's in clinicals

    mariedoreen replied to bonnieL123's topic in General Nursing

    Lol, I don't disagree with your message (or any of the others that you posted on this thread) but in defense of those you're responding to I have to say that your tone is continually a tad HOSTILE....

  9. Problems with Rn's in clinicals

    mariedoreen replied to bonnieL123's topic in General Nursing

    We're not all that way... our school makes us look everything up ourselves, no printing off of anyone else's material or we're kicked out for plagerism. They even imply that we'll be in trouble if we...

  10. Problems with Rn's in clinicals

    mariedoreen replied to bonnieL123's topic in General Nursing

    I wanna be you when I grow up

  11. How long does it take you

    mariedoreen replied to blee1's topic in General Students

    You know what? Asking a bunch of nursing students what going to nursing school is like is about the same as asking a bunch of new mothers what labor is like... You're going to hear horror story...

  12. Clinical paperwork - will I get any sleep tonight?

    mariedoreen replied to RNNoMore's topic in General Students

    Careful, our school defines this as plagerism... Check

  13. How many weeks left in your semester?

    mariedoreen replied to Nikki730's topic in General Students

    I'm on a quarter system, today starts our last week before the winter term final. After spring break have another 10 weeks to go, and we're out the first part of June for the summer. We have no...

  14. How long does it take you

    mariedoreen replied to blee1's topic in General Students

    We do a concept map, care plan, and a pathophys paper on each patient assignment. Takes for-freaking-ever but I'm sure you're looking for something more specific, so I'd say 8 hours

  15. You know you are in nursing school when ctxt

    mariedoreen replied to tnstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    You know you're in nursing school when... You hear a drug commerical come on tv and go running to hear what they say because it's a med you're currently

  16. This is sick

    mariedoreen replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    Then in Oregon (please forgive the flippancy) they are out of luck. Once they get to a point where they cannot self administer their prescription, then they are no longer eligible. It cannot be done...

  17. This is sick

    mariedoreen replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    you might want to look into the oregon law a little more. this is actually a very common misconception, but no one is allowed to administer a fatal dose of anything to anyone in

  18. This is sick

    mariedoreen replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    Because what Kervorkian did is not legal in

  19. Shift/Full Time Questions

    mariedoreen replied to Nurse Alissa's topic in General Nursing

    I can't wait to sign up for that kind of deal when I graduate... Here's to Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday... My kind of weekend!

  20. Oregon strike

    mariedoreen replied to vmburg's topic in General Nursing

    True. I would never come down on anyone making a tough financial decision (ie your child needs a new kidney..), but if it's greed alone at the expense of your peers, I think it's appalling

  21. My friend lost her baby

    mariedoreen replied to Stephanie in FL's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When I had my miscarriage 15 years ago it was routine to do an ultrasound on the first visit to help determine gestation age (and perhaps to help r/o ectopic at the same time but I'm assuming...

  22. question about clinicals in nursing schools...

    mariedoreen replied to maxcat's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say check with your school since each seems to be a little different, but I think it is the general movement to get away from doing these things on each other. I think forcing students to expose...

  23. You know you are in nursing school when ctxt

    mariedoreen replied to tnstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    Or... you're watching Bush give a speech and start thinking Hmmm... he's got some asymmetry of his facial

  24. Quick Question From Student Regarding Hemovac

    mariedoreen posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I'm a first year student who is doing care plans on hospital patients for the first time this semester. We are supposed to document any "drains" the patient has on one area of our form. I'm...

  25. You know you are in nursing school when ctxt

    mariedoreen replied to tnstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    :rotfl: I just laugh when I consider how as a 4.00 student in pre-reqs I used to think that nursing school would be a piece of cake, because "I ONLY have to get a 75%!" Oh how the mighty do fall......
