    Hypothetical Question: What happens when the baby boomers retire?

    pockunit replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    Anyone else NOT revealing their test date?

    pockunit replied to Lovelymo79's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    And NOW I will tell people I tested and I got the good pop-up. *whew* 85 questions (maybe 88, I had the thingy turned off and only looked one time at 80). It really is a surprise when it turns off....

    pockunit replied to Lovelymo79's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Me! I told pockspouse so we could arrange for kid wrangling, but other than that, I don't want the added pressure. Ever watched a woman at/past her due date get asked "When are you having that baby?"...

    How to NOT gain weight in Nursing School??

    pockunit replied to motheringheart's topic in General Students

    Bring food from home is the best thing I came up with. I lost weight before I started because I knew I would gain during the program. I eat when I study ;( I have started cutting up veggies every...

    Microbiology Lab Virtual Unknown

    pockunit replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

    My problem, though, is how to use the actual program. I get that there are a lot of tests to run, and that narrows the field, but I don't know HOW and I can't figure it out. It only lets me run one...

    Microbiology Lab Virtual Unknown

    pockunit replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

    I'm resurrecting this thread because I'm having problems with it, too. I don't understand how to run multiple tests on a sample. The tutorial is a joke as far as actually running the program, afaik....

    Is it possible that the shortened RN training causes more anxiety for new grads

    pockunit replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    When my grandmother was a nurse, pts didn't automatically go for cxr to r/o pneumonia. Nurses could tell when someone had it by their breathing. When she broke her hip and was in rehab, she kept...

    Is it possible that the shortened RN training causes more anxiety for new grads

    pockunit replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I'm afraid many nursing programs seem aimed at one goal: passing the boards. The expectation seems to be that you'll learn what you need to know on the floor, and right now, in school, you just need...

    Nurses with nose piercings?

    pockunit replied to Chameleonchick's topic in General Nursing

    So, basically: maybe, if you get hired, and it's okay at your facility. Or no, it's unprofessional, but if it's okay at your facility. Or you won't even get an interview, but that's my decision and...

    Nurses with nose piercings?

    pockunit replied to Chameleonchick's topic in General Nursing

    But we're not discussing the hospital policy. We're discussing someone declaring it's a sign of no self-respect and that they wouldn't even consider hiring someone who did it. There is a

    Nurses with nose piercings?

    pockunit replied to Chameleonchick's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't speaking of banning them, I was speaking of not hiring based on their presence. Bringing involuntary things into the argument, like FGM or the like, is a straw man. We're speaking about...

    Nurses with nose piercings?

    pockunit replied to Chameleonchick's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking about this last night, and I wondered: do you wear a wedding band? a cross or crucifix? Do you color your hair? Those are cultural constructs. Are they wrong simply because another...

    How long did you wait for your ATT?

    pockunit posted a topic in General Students

    I graduated on the 13th, and have all of my paperwork to the state but for my statement of graduation from the school. I hear it can take upwards of a month to get it all in before the ATT comes. How...

    Nurses with nose piercings?

    pockunit replied to Chameleonchick's topic in General Nursing

    Also, it's pretty bold to assume someone has no self respect just because they chose to get a piercing you wouldn't get. I wouldn't get a poodle perm but I'm not going to judge someone (or refuse to...
