  1. Some facts about the West Coast BSN program

    kabfighter replied to X620's topic in California Nursing

    That price is insane. Please look

  2. Scrubs website with free shipping?

    kabfighter replied to Morainey's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    You're paying for shipping either way. If they say it's free, it's already incorporated into the price. That being said, try

  3. RN in a Vet's office

    kabfighter replied to alrighThen's topic in Nursing Career

    It seems like a meaningless credential to have to work in a veterinary clinic. Unless they are employed as nurses in other environments as well, they would be unable to renew their licenses because...

  4. New program, but still seeking accreditation?

    kabfighter replied to RunninOnCoffee's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There is no requirement to graduate classes prior to accreditation. The school from which I graduated offered students the option of postponing graduation until after the site visit so that their BSN...

  5. New program, but still seeking accreditation?

    kabfighter replied to RunninOnCoffee's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    NLNAC accreditation is retroactive to the date of the site visit. If you graduate prior to the site visit, your degree will be unaccredited. "However, please note that accreditation is effective as of...

  6. LPN to.......CNA?!

    kabfighter replied to Keep_Calm's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yes, I am aware of that. I stated it that way for simplicity, not out of ignorance. It was far fewer words than: "She held a degree which was deemed by the state to be sufficient preparation for...

  7. LPN to.......CNA?!

    kabfighter replied to Keep_Calm's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I worked with a girl who was an LPN and had an RN degree but kept failing the NCLEX-RN. She continued to work as an LNA even with the LPN license. However, in my state you have to hold an LNA license...

  8. Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    kabfighter replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This dude is high as a

  9. Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    kabfighter replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I own a firearm (and sometimes carry) and am not a Christian. I have yet to feel the impulse to harm another human being who has made no threats against me. This is not a religious issue whatsoever....

  10. The Present-Oriented Patient

    kabfighter replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think sometimes the present is all that people can handle. There have certainly been times in my life when I only considered the present because I didn't have the energy to worry about the

  11. Guys, I need your advice

    kabfighter replied to LatinRN1's topic in Men in Nursing

    It's not any less crazy on med-surg, I promise you. I have a bead of sweat down my crack about half the time since I'm on my feet for four or more hours at a time. Med-surg floors tend to be larger...

  12. Florida Career College

    kabfighter replied to Martina222's topic in Florida Nursing

    With a name like that I would be suspicious. Check the website of the NLNAC to see if it's accredited. If not, head for the hills. Edit: I looked for you. It's not accredited by the NLNAC, so your...

  13. My experience of nclex and FAILED

    kabfighter replied to stephanie11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Testify!

  14. Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    kabfighter replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My state doesn't require a permit to carry. I do not carry at work, since it is against hospital policy to have a weapon on your person. It would most definitely make my scrubs sag, anyhow. To the...

  15. Can I be specific when it comes to my nursing diagnosis?

    kabfighter replied to HermanThePuppy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Looks pretty good to me. I would ask a professor how they want them structured since they're going to be the ones evaluating them,

  16. My experience of nclex and FAILED

    kabfighter replied to stephanie11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The first time I took the SAT I didn't eat breakfast. The second time I took it I binged at Burger King and scored 150 points higher. Breakfast is very important, as is hydration! Also, you can take a...

  17. Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    kabfighter replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    We are all born atheists until we are brainwashed by the society around us. Atheism is not a system of beliefs any more than not believing in Santa is. We find insufficient evidence to accept...

  18. Not study & still passed

    kabfighter replied to tcooks7's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I started studying for the NCLEX-RN the day before I took the exam; I passed in 45 minutes with 75 questions. I am convinced that no amount of studying can prepare oneself for these

  19. My experience of nclex and FAILED

    kabfighter replied to stephanie11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Nobody is 'selected' for 265 questions. That is a myth that somehow keeps being perpetuated. Also, if you run out of time, the last 75 questions are considered in the pass/fail decision. It is...

  20. Getting into nursing school with a mental illness? Is it going to be possible?

    kabfighter replied to lntm2925's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    You are in almost the same situation as my girlfriend. She has anxiety and OCD that manifests through obtrusive thoughts. She just graduated from college and did very well. She didn't study nursing,...

  21. My Positive Experience as a Third Year Psy. Nursing Student

    kabfighter replied to lasair's topic in Psychiatric

    Where are you located? Here (in the United States) specialties are pursued after nursing school is complete, so there is no such thing as a 'psychiatric nursing student'. What are the other courses in...

  22. Am I doing the right thing by quitting Nursing School? Advice please!

    kabfighter replied to Olive_Juice's topic in General Students

    I'm a pretty relaxed guy and pretty much coasted through school, but I still get mild anxiety occasionally when I go to work. It only gets worse once school ends. I will hop on the 'get help with the...

  23. Doctor Anyone?

    kabfighter replied to Ant24's topic in Male Nursing Students

    One of my classmates openly stated that he intended to pursue a medical education sometime in the future (although I don't know if he had the grades for it). I got my ASN in May and am working on a...

  24. Hardest thing about nursing school?

    kabfighter replied to mariaberry19's topic in General Students

    Being a nursing student is far easier than being a nurse, so enjoy it while it lasts. Once you graduate and start practicing you'll go home feeling like you did something wrong or missed something on...

  25. Does the state of Vermont require a Philippine license?

    kabfighter replied to xenophilius's topic in International Nursing

    You will need to have a Social Security number before the state will look at your application, first of all. They used to get so many applications from non-US citizens that it became burdensome to...
