  1. I Passed!

    AcosmicRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I passed. I'm an RN now. All this time. All this hard work to get here. I can't really comprhend it. But we went out to eat, and I bought a pocket PC, and I signed both credit card slips with R.N....

  2. I Passed!

    AcosmicRN replied to AcosmicRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks all for the congratulations!

  3. It seems asif this year my life has been flushed down the toilet.

    AcosmicRN replied to tattooednursie's topic in General Nursing

    Mandi, I mean this with the greatest of respect: you need to leave that town. You can't just live out your life in a town of 4000 people. It's deletrious to the soul. It's socially incestuous. It's...

  4. What an Aid Hates

    AcosmicRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    As an aid on a busy step-down floor, I am appalled at the lack of manners of many nurses and doctors. I hate the way they walk by you--in your way--and it's their fault, and you say "excuse me," and...

  5. 265 Questions and shocked

    AcosmicRN replied to iliket3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Disappointed? I got 75 (I hope I get my results today). You worked at yours a lot harder. You had to know more on yours. I got 75 and was guessing most of the time. If you pass (and I know you will)...

  6. What an Aid Hates

    AcosmicRN replied to AcosmicRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm waiting for someone to acuse me of stereotyping. But I'm not: she really is old and she really has a gold tooth. It's just a fact. Some things in life are just too aprapos.

  7. What an Aid Hates

    AcosmicRN replied to AcosmicRN's topic in General Nursing

    But here's the thing, Caroline: I don't want to be like that. I don't want to show them the same lack of courtesy they show me. Because while it stings to get treated that way, and while part of me...

  8. What an Aid Hates

    AcosmicRN replied to AcosmicRN's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent words. The aid who had a go at me, yesterday, only did so because she precieved me as being "newer" than her. I think she's been an aid for 20+ years. When it comes to the nurses, she just...

  9. What an Aid Hates

    AcosmicRN replied to AcosmicRN's topic in General Nursing

    "Not getting involved at the stuff at the nurses station." That is a fact. That's exactly where all this talk occurs, too. I think I will stay out of the line of fire, too. I'll just hang around my...

  10. What an Aid Hates

    AcosmicRN replied to AcosmicRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think what I am talking about is humility. The ability to be humble to all people. But the only way to be truly humble is to be more powerful than the people you are being humble to. It's the only...

  11. What an Aid Hates

    AcosmicRN replied to AcosmicRN's topic in General Nursing

    You're so very right. It is indeed everywhere. Jesus said do not resist an evil person. And while I think that is one of his hardest sayings, I have to agree that resisting a rude person, or being...

  12. What an Aid Hates

    AcosmicRN replied to AcosmicRN's topic in General Nursing

    but here's the thing. one day, you're going to be the nurse and what are you going to do differently? some aids really are immorally lazy. some really are beastly in the care they give pts. what are...

  13. What an Aid Hates

    AcosmicRN replied to AcosmicRN's topic in General Nursing

    The only problem is, the only monkey wrench in the whole thing is that today, by far, I was treated much more rudely by fellow aids than I was by RNs or MDs.

  14. What an Aid Hates

    AcosmicRN replied to AcosmicRN's topic in General Nursing

    I actually heard the same thing from an aid the other day directed towards nurses in general. That's the other side of the coin: Aids need to keep their freakin low self-esteem to themselves...

  15. Will Non-BSN nurses ever be fired?

    AcosmicRN replied to AcosmicRN's topic in General Nursing

    Dear Canoehead, Thanks for the honest appraisal. I wouldn't want anyone to think I'm anti-education, because I'm not. It's just that I already have a bachelors and I don't want another one. I think...

  16. Are you in Nursing for the Caring or the Cash?? Be Honest

    AcosmicRN replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to build the Kingdom of God, and most of the ways that is done either pays very little or not at all, except nursing. God knows I have to earn a living. God has given me nursing as a way to...

  17. I need advice on a question I've been given for my nurse training please

    AcosmicRN replied to Emma-Louise's topic in General Nursing

    By media, if you mean the news, I think there isn't much being said about nurses. If you mean TV and movies, I think as a whole nurses on TV are presented as low class, unprofessional boobs (e.g., ER,...

  18. New Graduates, care to share?

    AcosmicRN replied to Love-A-Nurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I will be working on a cardiac stepdown unit. CABGS, caths, pacemakers, various other cardiac issues. I love cardiology. It's my first choice hospital and floor. I will be working 7a-7p for the first...

  19. Devasted - Please help

    AcosmicRN replied to have2beRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This totally sucks. I know you're going crazy. It totally sucks. Bear in mind, there wouldn't be any hold up if you failed. When you get your results doesn't have any bearing on pass or fail. If you...

  20. I wish I didn't feel like this

    AcosmicRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I feel angry and depressed. I have every reason to believe I passed and yet I can't make myself believe it. I can't feel it. At best, I won't find out until Friday, and who knows, it could be a couple...

  21. I wish I didn't feel like this

    AcosmicRN replied to AcosmicRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That is strange. I would have thought they'd only be interested in the transcript from the NS that said you graduated with your degree in nursing.

  22. Just took NCLEX

    AcosmicRN replied to rachelaleanRN2B's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm sorry, but I don't think it's right to revel in someone's failure. Not at this time of year, in this particular forum when so many are taking NCLEX and hoping to pass while feeling as if they...

  23. I wish I didn't feel like this

    AcosmicRN replied to AcosmicRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Rachel, thank you. You are a real support, and I appreciate that. I L'dOL when you said you were up at 4 am on this newsgroup. You're right: I'm sure you passed, and not at all sure I passed. That's...

  24. I wish I didn't feel like this

    AcosmicRN replied to AcosmicRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

  25. I wish I didn't feel like this

    AcosmicRN replied to AcosmicRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks. Actually, that does work really well, so it is good advice: rent a movie, especially a funny one. Because last night, the only peace I think I had was when we watched the movie we rented. I'll...
