  1. No IV Practice / Little hands-on practice in clinicals

    33762FL replied to SlyFoxRN's topic in General Students

    " [color=#333333]this is one reason i truly believe that everyone should be a cna prior to learning to become an lpn or any level of rn degree, and that someone going for an rn degree( any degree)...

  2. Forced ultrasounds

    33762FL replied to nurse2033's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    i've read there's been over 40 million abortions since roe vs wade in america alone. that's a genocide that rivals what happened to the jews during the holocaust! this is extremely offensive and...

  3. Would you feel ok as a patient at your own hospital?

    33762FL replied to SNB1014's topic in General Nursing

    Just for privacy reasons, I would never go to the facility where I work, nor would I take my husband there. The staff is wonderful but I don't want everybody asking and wondering what I'm doing

  4. Getting a masters or NP w/o working as an RN first!

    33762FL replied to pinkstethoscope's topic in General Nursing

    IMO these "direct entry" programs are just an up-sell from regular ASN, BSN, or ABSN programs. If there are people willing to borrow a ton of money to pay for master's credits to become an NP without...

  5. Extra Shifts, Extra calls, feeling a bit guilty

    33762FL replied to 33762FL's topic in General Nursing

    I have a cell phone with caller ID and yes I do make use of it, so that's not the problem (but I'm glad to hear that everybody does this with their caller ID, not just me so I don't have to feel like...

  6. Extra Shifts, Extra calls, feeling a bit guilty

    33762FL replied to 33762FL's topic in General Nursing

    Most of the nursing staff where I work is part time, they reduced everybody's hours a while back and made most of the full timers part time. So they must have a long list of part timers to call before...

  7. Extra Shifts, Extra calls, feeling a bit guilty

    33762FL replied to 33762FL's topic in General Nursing

    Wait a sec... when you "go down the list" is it usually done alphabetically? Because that would explain why I'm called all the

  8. The Mockery of Nursing

    33762FL replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    " and when god closes one door, he opens another!" and the people who believe that don't realize that when you fail the pre-reqs or the nclex multiple times, the only other door that's opening is to...

  9. The Mockery of Nursing

    33762FL replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My favorite is the "I failed nursing school (or failed NCLEX x number of times or graduated 3 years ago but haven't found a job) but I'm going back to try a 5th time, Jesus/Thor/God/Ra the Sun God...

  11. Thinking of dropping my RN-BSN program

    33762FL replied to ORoxyO's topic in General Nursing

    Okay... I'm about your age, I also got a 2-year nursing degree and had a previous bachelor's in another subject. I chose to do my BSN right after I passed NCLEX because without BSN, my job options are...

  12. Wow They Are Really Serious - smokers not hired

    33762FL replied to LemonIndiscretion's topic in General Nursing

    Smokers are not a protected class, so it's not illegal to refuse to hire them (like it is illegal to refuse to hire people based on things like race, religion, etc.) I don't blame them, if you can...

  14. The Year is 2112...

    33762FL replied to Vespertinas's topic in General Nursing

    2112? I will be long since dead, and don't care

  15. I've Failed The NCLEX 8 Times & Now I'm about To Take It 1 More Time...

    33762FL replied to eutawville11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'd find another line of work. On the off-chance that you pass #8, it's going to be extremely difficult to be hired as an RN if you graduated in 2004. Cut your losses here, find another

    33762FL replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  18. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    33762FL replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  19. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    33762FL replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    and setting the religious exemption issue aside, there are individuals who don't want or need contraceptive coverage. i don't smoke, it's a filthy habit, but my private health insurance covers...

  20. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    33762FL replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Health insurance, private and public, has been paying for contraception as healthcare for many years. This is not new, and 30 states already had laws saying that all insurance providers had to cover...

  22. Nursing and smoking....can it hinder your career?

    33762FL replied to Juryizout's topic in General Nursing

    To answer question of legality - it is perfectly legal not to hire someone because they smoke. Smokers are not a "protected class" when it comes to equal opportunity

  23. Please help/advise on class debate

    33762FL replied to jhaines123's topic in General Nursing
