  1. RN to MD

    kalevra replied to kalevra's topic in General Nursing

    I have been hearing that rhetoric for a while. There's more stress with MD compared to RN. But i guess that goes with the territory. Higher up in the food chain you go the more things you have to...

  2. nurse coming to work drunk

    kalevra replied to nickola's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When you say started fluids and antiemetics, you are saying the NM used hospital resources to sober up the nurse? I ask because if that is the case, then you might be able to use that as evidence....

  3. RN to MD

    kalevra replied to kalevra's topic in General Nursing

    That's great to hear. I was looking for RNs that became Physicians. Doctorate in nursing just isnt the same. I am very surprised to see so many people working with Physicians and Surgeons that were...

  5. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    kalevra replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    In my opinion some traditions need to stop. Wearing a foolish cap should not impede your chances of taking the NCLEX. I wonder what her rationale is for delaying paper work. Absolutely asinine for the...

  6. Hardest thing about nursing school?

    kalevra replied to mariaberry19's topic in General Students

    Hardest part about nursing school is the catty shenanigans that you just cant avoid. Non-Verbal cues

  7. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    kalevra replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    Typically males in most RN programs are the minority of the group. Dress codes are adjusted to accommodate them. Hence the reason why males do not wear the cap. I would find it very insulting if males...

  10. Are you an A student. How do you achieve it

    kalevra replied to joselyne's topic in General Students

    Some people do better at clinicals, some do better at books, and some can do both. Like I said I have seen people freak in the real world setting. Many of them straight A students. Just something I...

  15. ADN or BSN

    kalevra replied to platinum_garb's topic in Illinois Nursing

    If I could time travel back to the beggining of nursing, I would have gone to a BSN program. Only because it will save me time. The application dates are once a year here for the Rn-BSN that I was...

  16. Community College or State University??!!

    kalevra replied to Nurse_Rae's topic in General Students

    Go to university and save yourself time. Once your in RN school all they keep telling you is BSn is the new standard for hospitals in the area. By "they" i mean the guest speakers instructors bring in...

  17. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    kalevra replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    Do you have to pay for the silly hat? If so you should not be forced to wear the thing. All that hat means is. " hey look a

  19. Are you an A student. How do you achieve it

    kalevra replied to joselyne's topic in General Students

    Nope, I am an A/B student. I do not have straight A's. Grades do not matter as much in the real world. I have seen people stress out about their A, but when you give them a patient they just freak....

  20. Left Nursing After 3 Months and Couldn't Be Happier!

    kalevra replied to sweetgeorgia's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Good for you! You should not have to be in a work environment where you have to cry everyday before going into work. That sounds like a abusive relationship with your

  21. Am i a nerd

    kalevra replied to cnastriving2brn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Make time for your girlfriend/boyfriend. Go have some adventures and "alone time" with them. Once your in the program, your not gonna see them except for summer and Christmas. RN school is an annoying...

  22. RN Who Wants To Become A Paramedic???

    kalevra replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Nursing Career

    To the OP, I was thinking the exact same thing. I love the idea of being first on site providing trauma care. It is way more of a rush than anything else I can think of. Actually no getting shot at...

  23. False documentation... more common than you think.

    kalevra replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  24. Why Is It That Everyone Thinks They're A Good Nurse?

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

    The newer generation of nurses coming up in the world are brought up with the idea that trying equates to a good job. So what if you aren't the smartest, fastest, or cant even color with in the lines....

  25. Just curious, What do they teach in Nursing School these days?

    kalevra replied to AMN74's topic in General Nursing

    In my own opinion the majority of the whining as you described OP is due to the lack of confidence many RN students have when they are fresh in the program. One semester of actual bedside nursing...
