  2. "Loosing" my license

    duckyluck111 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I've noticed a trend in your threads...you seem to have a problem with new grads and new nurses in general, and particular, with those who stand up for themselves, call foul, when appropriate, try...

    duckyluck111 replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  4. Obamacare Survives, Supreme Court Rescues 'Big Health'

    duckyluck111 replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  5. Shocked by new grads at job fair

    duckyluck111 replied to mclennan's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yep, I'm in school right now with students who are about 15 years younger that I am and I've seen it all. The worst is that they are completely throwing away their education, only doing the bare...

  6. Obamacare and Mark of Beast... wrong time to be a nurse?

    duckyluck111 replied to tarotale's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    OP...Don't let them take away your right of access to affordable health care. The people who are perpetuating this kind of nonsense could care less about Jesus Christ, they only want to make money...

  7. What are your thoughts on patients who request no male nurses taking care of them?

    duckyluck111 replied to Mike A. Fungin RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    first of all, female nurses earn $0.86 for every $1.00 a male nurse earns, so in that respect who cares if they don't make caps for you, you'll earn more money despite equal work. (source:...

  8. What are your thoughts on patients who request no male nurses taking care of them?

    duckyluck111 replied to Mike A. Fungin RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think the issue was you joking around with male coworkers about how gross a particular woman's anatomy may be. Totally disrespectful and unprofessional. Do you people not realize that we can hear...

  9. Scam Schools And Diploma Mills

    duckyluck111 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    Here is the thing, it is probably legitimate, however, like many "for profit" schools, your credits will likely not transfer anywhere else, so unless you know you know for sure that once you start,...

  10. Need advice after losing first nursing job

    duckyluck111 replied to AsianNurse27's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sorry, that sounds more like a lie than the initial "didn't fit with my schedule", that would be a lie that would be easy to check out also, since she resigned and did not get laid off. A quick call...

    duckyluck111 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  12. How do you think I'm doing for a Pre-Nursing student???

    duckyluck111 replied to keithm101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you know what the problem seems to be? I would try to identify what the problem is. Are you a bad test-taker? Are you skipping classes? Are you not completing assignments? Are you doing the...

  13. New grads who are being bullied by experienced nurses

    duckyluck111 replied to hella_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's too bad that people feel the need to **** all over their territory like an animal. That is what is going on. You and I would never treat anybody like that and in the long run are going to be...

  14. Things I noticed as a patient...

    duckyluck111 replied to theantichick's topic in General Nursing

    Fake nails are just ick, in or out of the hospital. I think they scream "bad judgement". The wearer is exposing themselves to fungus and infections (which they could transfer to an immune...

  15. "pre-nursing" science classes vs. just getting a BSN

    duckyluck111 replied to turtlezoup's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you are overestimating how long it would take to do the prerequisites. I already had a BA also and only one class counted toward the 2nd degree major. It will take me 1 1/2 years before...

  16. Nurse hopeful... Possible roadblocks?

    duckyluck111 replied to Bran2's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    "Expunged" means removed from your record (or should mean that anyway). I'd start by checking up on your own record and seeing if you even have one. Good luck to

  17. I want to curl up in a ball and cry

    duckyluck111 replied to JenniferA428's topic in General Nursing

    I just want to add also that I don't think it's awkward to ask for a formal offer letter next time and you don't have to be apologetic or explain a reason about it. All you have to say is "thank you...

  18. I want to curl up in a ball and cry

    duckyluck111 replied to JenniferA428's topic in General Nursing

    I would send a letter and very politely thank them for interviewing you and taking the time to go over all the paperwork with you and say that you were under the impression that you had a job offer,...

    duckyluck111 replied to mcrutRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  20. Failed first Chemistry test!

    duckyluck111 replied to julibyrd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have been creating my own study guides for chem. About a week before the test I write out a list of all the formulas or reactions, properties of chemicals or whatever we will be tested on and then...

    I'm in nursing school right now at age 39 and I have to say that I think I'm actually smarter and in better shape physically than when I was in my 20s. I know how to multi-task, prioritize and...

  25. Associate, BSN, or Masters

    duckyluck111 replied to khalverson's topic in General Nursing
