  1. Watching Procedures vs Doing Them

    rnccf2007 replied to SkinnyLatte's topic in General Nursing

    LOL to RN47's last reply I do not have this problem, but I find it quite fascinating. Would definitely be quite intersting to research. I on the other hand, have never had a adversion to blood and...

  2. Would YOU recommend to a friend/family member, etc..

    rnccf2007 replied to digoe74's topic in Nursing Career

    Good question. Sometimes, when I see nursing students, I want to tell them to get out now while they can. Why? Some of the issues that nurses must face that they are not told about when applying to...

  3. 2nd attempt at the NCLEX-RN tomorrow

    rnccf2007 replied to nicu06's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The best of luck on your test. You will pass. Leave it in God's hands and try to overcome you anxiety. You can do it. I will say a prayer for

  4. Do acute care nurses look down on LTC nurses

    rnccf2007 replied to MouseMichelle's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in LTC as an STNA for eight years (some while attending nursing school). I was offered tuition reimbursement if I worked for 2 years after I received my degree. I refused, because my...

  5. HELP! New grad

    rnccf2007 replied to lizanne's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work at CCF main campus. If you apply for another position, your current NM will know. The best policy is to be upfront with your current NM. There is nothing wrong with applying for a...

  6. RN with 2 years experience and still feel uncomfortable at times.

    rnccf2007 replied to stellaRN1983's topic in General Nursing

    If you ask me, you show the signs of a good nurse. Why? Because, you ask questions when you are unsure. The scariest nurses (the ones that I feel are most dangerous) fail to seek the advise from...

  7. NCLEX RN GONE BAD

    rnccf2007 replied to leo82's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Also, since the NCLEX is a different breed of animal, you may need to review books that explain tips on how the questions are asked and how to respond. I would recommend Kaplan. I found it an...

  8. NCLEX RN GONE BAD

    rnccf2007 replied to leo82's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am not sure about Pearson, however; in the state of Ohio, you can log onto the state board of nursing to find out your results (usually within 24 hours); whereas Pearson charges a fee. Just because...

  9. Should new grads always start on a med/surg floor?

    rnccf2007 replied to swaffy8's topic in General Nursing

    I would say do what you are passionate about. I have worked with nurses who hate their jobs, because they are not working in the area that they would prefer. I started off on a med-surg floor at a...

  10. "Nurses Are So Mean"

    rnccf2007 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    WOW!! Great article!! This is soooo true! Nurses are people, too!! We DO have bad days, nights, weeks, or even months! I was recently in a situation where I was the "mean" nurse. I had what was an...

  11. "Nurses Are So Mean"

    rnccf2007 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And blah, blah, blah about 2 admissions; try 4 on a day shift in critical care. Have to put in an IV or PICC, one patient decanulates themselves, another has the audacity to initiate a code blue. This...

  12. "Nurses Are So Mean"

    rnccf2007 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wish I had a dollar for every nurse like you. I am sick of working 12+ hour days with one 5 minute break. No reason for you to not try to help new nurses and say their complaints are...
