    Never Give Up -- My Story

    THELIVINGWORST replied to MrMango's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Were Einstein, Steve Jobs, or Bill Gates responsible for people's lives? No. The scientific process is exactly that, a scientific process. That has nothing to do with taking a critical thinking exam...

    CSN Spring 2016

    THELIVINGWORST replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Nevada Nursing

    If it's similar to when I was a student and the used ATI, this test is a critical thinking test just to see where you're at. There is no

    Are private schools worth it? Or should I just wait...

    THELIVINGWORST replied to mroun91's topic in General Students

    FYI I only have 35,000 in student loans, federal and private, and I pay a little more than $500 per month. So that's looking like $1000 per month for you. RNs do not make as much as you think they

    Difficult Orientee

    THELIVINGWORST replied to ejnjj143's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think the age thing has more to do with style of learning and work. I find older nurses tend to more caring, careful, and tend to doubt their knowledge. The younger ones are more afraid to ask...

    Price of Patient Satisfaction

    THELIVINGWORST replied to knoxnurse236's topic in General Nursing

    I make it a point to acquiesce to my patients requests if they are polite about their neuroses. BUT I am a bit of a hard a** when I feel the pt is manipulating me or they are being rude. I am so...

    Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    THELIVINGWORST replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    I never said that teaching independence is a bad thing. I'm saying that just because OP is a teenager and her mother is a single mom does not mean that OP is wrong and the mom is only doing what's...

    THELIVINGWORST replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    THELIVINGWORST replied to cheena86's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I feel the problem is both content, point of view and the language barrier. You weren't taught in the same way, the same knowledge base, nor the same perspective as U.S. nurses were/are. Remediation...

    Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    THELIVINGWORST replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    Why do the memes bother you so? We as nurses often find ourselves in ridiculous and funny situations and memes are born. It's not that serious and humor is a coping mechanism for a lot of people....
