  1. Is it weird that I love wound care?

    MyUserName,RN replied to MyUserName,RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, me

  2. Are any of you loyal?

    MyUserName,RN replied to MzTayTay's topic in General Nursing

    I also agree that employers really don't care about being loyal to their employees. This is in any field. Companies care about bottom lines and they will do what they have to do to make more money...

  3. Are any of you loyal?

    MyUserName,RN replied to MzTayTay's topic in General Nursing

    I understand your frustration, but the fact of the matter is, you probably are not going to get hired on to your most desired unit right out of school. I am a recent grad as well and you don't know...

  4. Is it weird that I love wound care?

    MyUserName,RN replied to MyUserName,RN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one! I'm not a specified wound care nurse, but wouldn't mind being one. I'm a new RN and realized by a couple of the dressing changes I've had to do, that I really...

  5. At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

    MyUserName,RN replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Like I said, if somebody was representing themself as a nurse and treating pts or teaching/offering advice, that is bad....but the examples the OP originally sited weren't so. They were kind of weak...

  6. At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

    MyUserName,RN replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Wow, what a stupid and petty thing for so many people to get upset about. Who cares!! If some CNA called themself a nurse to their friend or answered a pt as the pt called for the nurse, it's really...

  7. No Names....I'm just Saying That .....

    PunkBenRn, what is

  9. new grad starting on med-surg unit

    MyUserName,RN replied to icechick's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I'm a new nurse on a med/surg floor too. Still on orientation for 2 more weeks (8 weeks total) and I feel stupid most of the time. I am wondering what I even learned in school, because when it comes...

  10. How did nursing school effect your health?

    MyUserName,RN replied to RangeinPlace's topic in General Students

    I gained 10 lbs and seemed to get sick all the time. I had respiratory infections throughout school. Maybe it was the stress weakening my immune system. Then about a week after I took the NCLEX I went...

  11. Graduated 12/10, still no job, giving up...

    MyUserName,RN replied to RNtslifka's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The Navy has a program where they will pay your way through the BSN program and even pay you a monthly living allowance while in school as long as you commit to entering for a certain period of time...

  12. night shift dilemma

    MyUserName,RN replied to earthbound's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with everyone else. You don't need to be doing all of that when you get home from working all night. You should definitely talk to your husband about trying to help you out more. He may not...

  13. Customer Service? Maybe on your home planet.

    MyUserName,RN replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with you on the patient responsibilities. But we can't control what they do. This doesn't really have a lot to do with rudeness though. We don't put up with pts attacking us or threatening...

  14. Customer Service? Maybe on your home planet.

    MyUserName,RN replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When I say tolerate it, I mean it as, we still have to treat that patient, we can't just decide that we aren't going to treat them or give them care or we could lose our license. But I don't mean...

  15. Customer Service? Maybe on your home planet.

    MyUserName,RN replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not illogical at all. Handling people professionally whether as a customer or as a patient requires the same kind of "people skills" and professional way of talking with people. Whether you want to...

  16. Do you know the difference?

    MyUserName,RN replied to NiceShot's topic in General Nursing

    At my hospital the coordinator is the charge nurse and case manager is the nurse that goes through charts and evaluates pts reason for being here, how long they've been here and if insurance is still...

  17. Customer Service? Maybe on your home planet.

    MyUserName,RN replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I worked in customer service for 8 years prior to going to nursing school. I do think that experience has taught me how to handle difficult people. I worked as a tech through nursing school and have...

  18. Advice for an EMT in Nursing school

    MyUserName,RN replied to A-fib's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I agree with that. My husband is a firefighter/emt and the training is much different. Nursing school (at least in my program) only focused on emergency nursing through one unit in my last...

  19. Advice for an EMT in Nursing school

    MyUserName,RN replied to A-fib's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with others who have recommended nclex books. Learning the trick of answering the questions is the main

  20. Advice for an EMT in Nursing school

    MyUserName,RN replied to A-fib's topic in General Nursing

    Ok...he/she asked about nursing school not about the job market. There is no reason to put this negativity on this post. Job market may be tight, but I just graduated in may and have a job already...

  21. What does Johnson and Johnson get out of promoting nursing careers?

    MyUserName,RN replied to WDM08002's topic in General Nursing

    The commercials may be annoying, but I do think they are good PR for nurses in general. It gives the public a good image of nursing. Anything that helps build public respect for nurses can't be a bad...

  22. HESI Exit exam, are scores really predictable of passing NCLEX?

    MyUserName,RN replied to MyUserName,RN's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Lol, nice rhyme!! :) Well, I studied for about two weeks on my days off of work. Watched the hurst videos and practiced questions. Took the NCLEX yesterday, 75 questions and according to PV trick, I...

  23. How many questions do you do a day... 300Q reasonable?

    MyUserName,RN replied to believeallispossible's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did about 400 questions through all of my nclex studying, not per day. I really could not do so many questions like a lot of people on here seem to do. It took me forever because I tried to really...

  24. Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

    MyUserName,RN replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the test yesterday and got the good pop up immediately after my exam...I've done it a couple more times and still getting the good pop up!! Yayyy!!! I can't wait to get the official results so...

  25. HESI Exit exam, are scores really predictable of passing NCLEX?

    MyUserName,RN replied to MyUserName,RN's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    But, you know, every time I took the HESI I always felt like I was guessing and didn't do well. Everything was always so broad and vague...It didn't seem to matter how or what you studied, you never...
