One of my fellow employees had a similar beard more thicker and had tattoos on his arms and hands, was a great night crew with another male nurse. For N95 are hospital has these what I call scuba diver mask/helmet that acts as a negative pressure machine on your face due to not being able to be fit tested. I would only say you may run into troble at school, but as long as you keep it clean looking you should be okay, there is always that one old school teacher who thinks women should still wear those little hats as a nurse

When nursing is a good field with many opportunities as a student you are not getting the real patient you will in the work field. I remember being so appreciated as a student nurse from the patients I had, then after months on the job you realize that maybe 25% of the patients you see are there to get better, the rest well, they are here for the 5 star hotel treatment just to go back and do everything the doctor said not to do. I do not work in ortho or surgery so I do not see the patient population that is grateful and trying to improve on life, I see the population that just wants a neb treatment or two, a couple steroids and the 5 star hotel treatment and leave just to comeback in a couple of days. I've been ask the most bizarre request, have been threaten and harassed over and over by both patients and non existent management team. You are overworked and understaffed majority of time, I've seen nurses cry many times on my unit from either a patient or family member abuse or from the work load, I have seen a float quit her job after an 8 hour shift on my unit. But when I float it is a breath of fresh air, there are many units patients are there for the reason to get better, there are floors where management is there to help you out instead of eat you alive that I have seen from nurses on my unit. I would not discourage anyone to get into the nursing field, it can be very rewarding knowing you help someone rather it was just the little extra time you spent with them, the care you gave, or helped them through the knee surgery. I would just wish as a student nurse they would not steer you away and put a blind eye to what health care is today, Patient satisfaction aka 5 star hotel treatment the I want cheese and crackers now and a bag of candy I dont care I cant breath and my blood sugar is 500 I want it now or I will give you a low HCAP score and in return you job will be on the line with a management that evaluates you who never steps a foot on the floor.

I'm in RN school and I could never see tucking in those big pockets into my scrub pants. I personally think it would look silly. If they are OR scrubs, then yes I can see tucking them in as an option, because they do not have the big pockets attached to them.

I took my Nclex-pn thursday. Today is monday and i went and tried the pervue trick. This is the pop up I got "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your Member Board for further assistance. Another registration cannot be made at this time." Is this still the up in the air Fail/Pass? Or is this bad news:crying2:

:confused:It was ridiculous and i was really hoping for it to shut off @ the 85 mark. I felt prepared going into it but then after some question i was I had around 15 med about 5 SATA good amount of diet (which i still have trouble with for w/e reason) and then diseases and what you would look at all before the 85 question point (all those numbers got bigger as i continued). I felt sick after the exam, but more then half the people in my class felt the same way and ended up passing. Im just hoping it will be the same for me, but im feeling it may not be. I used Kaplan book, Lippincott review cards (friend gave me them after their test n said study them n they will help, but not 1 was on the test or anything like it the cards were way too easy compared to the test), Mosby CD and exam cram cd a friend let me use. I feel like maybe I was using the wrong material to study cause it seem like NONE of the stuff i listed could have prepared me for the test i just took. There was probably 4-5 question that i actually recognized from the stuff i used or was close to the question in the stuff i used. Any advise on what materials to maybe use if there is a next time (hope not, *fingers crossed*)? Sorry for the probably hard to read,
