  1. Questions Regarding Grades in Nursing School??

    EwwThat'sNasty replied to thegirlyoulove90's topic in General Nursing

    Chill out girl, smell the roses. Ok you can ignore that crass statement, for I too was once anally obsessive about getting straight A's. Now my take is that if you are getting better than a 3.3 (A-)...

  4. Nursing Schools in the Philippines

    EwwThat'sNasty replied to jencas's topic in Philippines

    If you search you can find a list of schools and their NLE pass rates. There really are only about a dozen exceptional ones (pass >90%). Then contact the schools directly, though that can be hard...

  5. Nervous over possible termination

    EwwThat'sNasty replied to funsizedliv's topic in General Nursing

    There are a number of worrisome aspects to your note. You say that you "knew that the dosage was 0.125" milligram, but that you had 0.25 milligram. Then you say you "never got to check the dosage on...

    EwwThat'sNasty replied to MedicGirl33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. Any RN's gone the Paramedic route prior to Nursing?

    EwwThat'sNasty replied to MedicGirl33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's a good point Pacookie, I'll agree, if one is to choose ED choose a Level One Trauma Center ED. Where I worked ICU my hospital had the only Level I center in the state so I never saw the crap....

  9. Any RN's gone the Paramedic route prior to Nursing?

    EwwThat'sNasty replied to MedicGirl33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like a wonderful, practical and fun way to do things. Were I to suggest your route I'd suggest half a year as a CNA, then through EMT to Paramedic then to RN. Were I to do it all over it'd...

  12. Gay labeling, is it just plain mean? Or sexual harrassment?

    EwwThat'sNasty replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in Men in Nursing

    It is cruel. It is sexual harassment. It is also called bullying, or lateral violence, or horizontal violence, which is common to nursing, although usually minimized. The nature of the comment with...

    EwwThat'sNasty replied to Kluren21's topic in Men in Nursing

    I agree soundly with Drey. Don't even worry about volunteering--get a job as a LNA/CNA. It will be amazingly helpful when you start doing clinicals. Routine stuff like bed-baths and patient...

    EwwThat'sNasty replied to EwwThat'sNasty's topic in Occupational Health

  20. HELP! Should I give up!?

    EwwThat'sNasty replied to blurrgurrl's topic in General Nursing

    I believe it is possible to become a nurse if dismissed, generally. If you have no license in your state then you have no license to revoke. On the other hand, if the "clinical mistake" was serious...
