  1. Diapers. Ice. Excuses.

    It's not just in the ER. Many parents these days let their children run wild, not reprimanding them for anything. I don't know if they think they are little angels or what, but god forbid they...
  2. I'm wondering how the instructor can deny knowledge of the rx after being informed, but miraculously happens to pick the one person who would come up positive to
  3. Excellent advice for everyone to follow! Thank you for taking the time to word it so
  4. 84% = Failing Grade?

    My school is much the same... B- is lowest passing grade for all health/science classes, and 84% is the bottom end of a B-. It adds on a lot of stress if you are any where near that
  5. Log book for phone calls...

    This may not totally apply to a hospital, but I think it might be pertinent. A doctors office I dealt with supposedly kept logs of phone calls. Later while in malpractice litigation, they denied that...
  6. Sick of people who think Nursing will be easy!

    A word bank is a list of the terms for the test. Say you were labeling arteries and veins for an A&P exam. There would be a diagram with blanks, and a list of vessels to put in the blanks, that...
  7. Grieving a perinatal loss

    What a wonderfully written article. As a mother who lost a child myself, I heard many of the same words--"you can just have another," and "at least you didn't get to know him before he died," or one...
  8. I got an ER job! Now, reading/other suggestions please?

    Sorry, No suggestions from me, but I hope to be where you are someday! Happy for you and
  9. Beyond Frustrated

    Looks like you answered your own question :) Sorry about the exam, but it sounds like you had a lot on your plate anyway, maybe lose the PRN, just work the full-time, and concentrate on your...
  10. How come you don't work more?

    I'd be willing to bet most of the people asking you only wish they could get by working only 3 days a week. No one ever wishes they could work more, only less. You are lucky that you are able to work...
  11. Cured of cancer, now looking for new RN job

    Not much for advice, but I wanted to say congrats and glad you are well again! Also, I suppose if I were in your situation, I would simply say, and only if questioned, that I had a medical issue to...
  12. Moral/Ethical Advice

    Whether or not the "barely passing" peer has 2 housemaids or 8 children is irrelevant, it shouldn't even be part of the equation. Either the person is doing their own work, or they are not. Whether or...
  13. Go for CNA or Volunteer?

    Great question, especially since it's one I wanted to know! I'm finishing my pre-req's, and plan to start NS in fall 2011. I don't think I could fit the CNA classes in my rotation for now, I'd have to...
